Lash extensions: how long they last and how to care for them

Classic, 2D, 3D or volume: what each term means, when to come back and what to avoid.

Lash extensions: how long they last and how to care for them

Classic, 2D, 3D and volume

  • Classic (one-to-one): one extension on each natural lash. A natural, mascara-like effect.
  • 2D, 3D and up: two, three or more ultra-fine extensions fanned out on each natural lash. More density.
  • Russian volume: the technique of hand-making those fans of ultra-fine lashes. Intense yet light.

The effect is built on top of that: doll, fox, squirrel, anime and more. Our article on effects explains how to choose yours.

How long they last

Extensions fall out with the natural lash, which renews all the time. So they don’t all go at once: gaps appear little by little. Most people refill every two to three weeks.

The first 48 hours

  • Avoid water and steam (sauna, very hot showers, the pool) so the adhesive fully sets.
  • No mascara on the extensions.

Every day

  • Clean your lashes gently with an oil-free cleanser.
  • Brush them every morning with a spoolie.
  • Don’t rub or pull them, and try not to sleep face-down.
  • Avoid oil-based make-up removers, which loosen the adhesive.
  • Don’t remove them at home: they come off at the salon without harming your natural lashes.
