Whether your lashes are past their prime, you’re ready for a new style, or you need a break, proper removal is key to keeping your natural lashes healthy and strong.
What Happens During Eyelash Extension Removal?
Professional removal is a gentle, controlled process designed to dissolve the adhesive without damaging your natural lashes. Here’s what you can expect when you visit a certified lash artist:
Step 1: Consultation
Your technician will start by examining your lash condition. They’ll check for any signs of irritation, assess how much adhesive remains, and confirm your goals.
Step 2: Preparation
You’ll lie back comfortably, and your technician will place under-eye pads to protect your skin and lower lashes. This barrier ensures the removal solution won’t come into contact with your eyes or cheeks.
Step 3: Application of Removal Solution
The technician will use a professional-grade, oil-based removal gel or cream. This solution is carefully applied to the base of the extensions, where the adhesive bonds to your natural lashes.
Step 4: Dissolving the Adhesive
The solution needs 5–10 minutes to break down the glue. During this time, you’ll relax—no tugging or pulling involved. The adhesive will soften, making the extensions easy to slide off.
Step 5: Gentle Removal
Using fine, sterilized tweezers, your technician will gently lift and remove each extension. They’ll work slowly to avoid pulling your natural lashes, ensuring every last extension is removed without force.
Step 6: Post-Removal Care
Once all extensions are gone, your technician will cleanse your lashes to remove any leftover solution or adhesive residue. They may also apply a nourishing lash serum to strengthen your natural lashes and promote growth.
Why DIY Removal Is a Bad Idea
It’s tempting to skip the salon and try removing extensions at home—especially if you’re in a hurry or trying to save money. But DIY methods pose serious risks to your natural lashes and eye health:
1.Tugging or pulling with tweezers, fingers, or mascara wands can rip out natural lashes, leading to thinning or bald spots. Lashes take 6–8 weeks to regrow, so damage can be long-lasting.
2.Using household products like baby oil, makeup remover, or rubbing alcohol might dissolve the adhesive, but they can also irritate your eyes, cause redness, or even lead to infections. These products aren’t formulated for lash removal and can leave residue that clogs lash follicles.
3.Incomplete removal often happens with DIY attempts. Leftover adhesive can weigh down your natural lashes, making them weak and prone to breakage.
4.Save yourself the hassle (and potential damage). Professional removal is quick, painless, and worth the investment to protect your lashes.
