There’s nothing quite like waking up to perfect lashes. If you’re new to DIY lash extensions or you’ve been struggling to make them stay put, this guide will walk you through how to keep your lash clusters looking flawless for days or even weeks with the right prep, care, and technique.
Start Fresh: Clean Lashes Are the Secret to Long Wear
The key to great retention starts before you even pick up your tweezers. Always begin with clean, oil free natural lashes. Any leftover oils, makeup, or skincare residue can create a slippery barrier that prevents your lash bond from properly adhering.
Use Awange Label’s Lash Mousse Cleanser to gently remove oil, dirt, and residue without weakening your bond. Make sure your lashes are completely dry before you start applying your clusters. This simple step alone can double the wear time of your set.
Placement Is Everything: The Magic 2mm Rule
Place each cluster about 2mm from your lash line, close enough to blend seamlessly with your natural lashes but not so close that it touches your skin.
Too close to your lash line and they may lift early or cause discomfort; too far and they won’t hold their shape as beautifully.
Think of it like the sweet spot that gives you comfort, longevity, and that professional finish Awange Label is known for.
Keep Them Fresh: Daily Cleaning Is a Must
It might sound unnecessary, but washing your lash clusters daily is one of the best ways to extend their life. Natural oils, makeup residue, and dust build up over time, and all of that weakens the bond. Use Awange Label’s Lash Mousse Cleanser with its complimentary cleansing brush to gently remove buildup and keep your lashes fresh each night. It helps your clusters stay soft, fluffy, and perfectly in place. No sticky buildup, just effortless wear.
Bonus Tips for Ultimate Retention
Avoid oil based products around your eyes as they can break down your bond fast.
Use Awange Label’s Adhesive and Top Coat for the strongest hold and softest finish.
Sleep on a satin pillowcase if you can to avoid friction that causes lifting.
When removing, never pull. Use Awange Label's Remover to protect your natural lashes.
Why Proper Care Pays Off
Taking a few extra minutes to prep, place, and clean your lashes properly doesn’t just help them last longer. It saves you time, money, and frustration in the long run. With the right habits, your Awange Label clusters can stay perfect for over a week while keeping your natural lashes healthy underneath.
Because when your lashes last, your confidence does too.
