Most Common Lash Extension Problems and Solutions 💓

Lashes Falling Out Too Quickly

Possible causes

  • Using oil based skincare or makeup

  • Sleeping on your face

  • Excessive touching or picking

  • Not cleansing lashes properly

How to fix it

  • Use only oil free cleansers and makeup removers

  • Clean your lashes daily with a lash safe foam cleanser

  • Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase

  • Schedule regular refills every two to three weeks

Inner or Outer Corners Lifting

Why it happens

Corners experience the most friction from sleeping, rubbing or makeup removal.

Quick solution

  • Do not trim or pull loose lashes

  • Gently brush them back into place

  • Book a mini touch up if multiple sections lift

You can also ask your lash artist to apply stronger adhesive or shorter lengths in corner areas next time.

Lashes Twisting or Clumping Together 🖤

Usually caused by

  • Not brushing daily

  • Getting lashes wet before adhesive has cured fully

  • Sleeping on one side every night

What to do

  • Brush with a clean spoolie every morning and night

  • Avoid steam and heavy moisture for the first 24 hours

  • If clumping persists, your lash artist may need to remove and reapply a few fans

Lash Line Itching or Feeling Tight

Possible reasons

  • Allergic or mild adhesive sensitivity

  • Not cleansing properly leading to buildup

  • Excessive humidity or sweat

Relief tips

  • Cleanse with a gentle lash shampoo to remove residue

  • Apply a cool compress under the eye area

  • Switch to a sensitive adhesive formula at your next fill

If itching turns into swelling, contact your lash artist immediately for removal.

Lashes Look Sparse on One Eye Only ❤️‍🔥

Why it happens

  • You sleep more on one side

  • One eye blinks stronger than the other

  • Natural lash shedding is not always even

How to fix it

  • Request staggered lengths for a fuller effect

  • Book touch ups sooner if one eye loses more

A quick refill can rebalance everything.

Daily Habits for Long Lasting Lash Extensions 💖

  • Clean your lashes gently every day

  • Pat dry instead of rubbing with a towel

  • Avoid waterproof eyeliner or mascara

  • Keep oil based creams away from your lash line

  • Brush them softly after showers or naps

When to Contact Your Lash Artist

Reach out if you experience any of the following

  • Burning or swelling

  • More than 50 percent fallout in one week

  • Severe twisting or sticking together

  • Pain when blinking

It is always better to get professional help early instead of waiting.
