Introduction

I know you are tired of your eyelash extension falling out too soon, or you just want them to last longer. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror just a few days after your lash appointment and thought, “Wait, where did they go?” you’re not alone; that’s exactly why you’re here.

It’s 2025, and we’re done settling for lashes that barely last a week. It’s time to make those gorgeous lash extensions stay longer, look better, and feel effortless.

Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, you deserve lashes that stay. The truth is, your lash retention depends on two key things: the quality of your lash artist’s work and how well you care for them afterward.

1. The Quality of Your Lash Artist’s Work Makes ALL the Difference

Let’s not lie, your lash retention is only as good as the hands that installed them. A skilled lash artist uses the right technique, adhesive, and lash type for your natural lashes.

A client walked into Urban Glam looking completely frustrated. She had just gotten her lashes done elsewhere, paid a good amount too, but within just two days, most of them had fallen off. You could see the disappointment in her eyes. She thought she had done everything right.

When she came to us, we examined her lashes, explained what went wrong, and gave her a fresh, professionally applied set. She couldn’t believe the difference. Weeks later, her lashes were still full and flawless, and now she’s a loyal Urban Glam client.

At Urban Glam House, we specialize in long-lasting, luxurious eyelash extensions that stay put. We give you fuller, longer-lasting lashes you’ll love.

So next time you’re ready for a refill, you know where to go – Urban Glam, where every lash is applied with precision, skill, and the highest-quality materials for unbeatable retention. Book an appointment to get those long-lasting lashes.

2. Best Ways to Care for Your Eyelash Extension to Last Longer.

1. Your Eyelash Extension Artist

Yes, we have talked about this, but when it comes to caring for your lashes, this is the first step. We can’t skip it. Poor application, cheap glue, or not isolating each natural lash properly will make your extensions not last. So you’d better choose your artist wisely.

2. Keep the Eyelash Extension from water for the first 24-48 hours.

After your lash appointment, avoid getting your lashes wet or exposing them to steam that includes, long hot showers or saunas. The glue needs time to fully cure. Water or steam soon after the installation can weaken the bond and cause them to fall out within a short period. Avoid crying also – yes, please do avoid it and skip facials or heavy skincare around the eyes during this time.

3. Clean Your Lashes Daily – Yes, Really!

One of the biggest myths is that you shouldn’t wash lash extensions. False! Dirty lashes lead to:

  • Oil buildup
  • Bacteria growth
  • Weakened adhesive

Cleaning your lashes helps them last longer. Dirt, oil, and makeup build-up weaken the glue. At Urban Glam, we’ll show you exactly how to clean your lashes without damaging them.

4. Avoid Oil-Based Products at all cost.

If you want your eyelash extensions to last, this one’s non-negotiable. Oil breaks down the adhesive and causes lashes to shed early. From cleansers to makeup removers, choose oil-free products only. If you want your eyelash extensions to last longer, it’s time to let go of oil-based products. I know some cleansers and makeup removers feel amazing on the skin, but if they contain oils, they can break down the adhesive used on your lashes. That means your extensions will start falling off much faster than they should.

Instead, switch to oil-free cleansers and makeup products. Especially around the eyes, be gentle and intentional. Trust me, making this small change will go a long way in keeping your lashes intact. Think of it as protecting your investment, because great lashes deserve the best care.

5. Don’t Sleep Face-Down

How you sleep matters. Sleeping face-down might feel cozy, but it’s terrible for your lash extensions. When your lashes are pressed into the pillow all night, they rub, bend, and fall out prematurely. Sleeping on your stomach or side can crush your lashes, causing them to twist, fall. Try sleeping on your back or using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and protect your lash extensions.

6. Avoid Mascara and Lash Curlers on your eyelash extension.

Using mascara or lash curlers on your extensions might seem harmless, but they can seriously shorten their lifespan. Most mascaras, especially waterproof ones, are hard to remove and can weaken the adhesive bond, causing early fallout.

And those mechanical lash curlers? They crimp, tug, and can even break your extensions.

The truth is, you got extensions to skip these steps, so trust the process. With high-quality lash extensions from Urban Glam, you won’t even need mascara or curlers. Your lashes will already be full, lifted, and picture-perfect.

7. Schedule Regular Fills for your eyelash extension

Even with the best care, natural lashes shed, and so will your extensions. To keep your lashes looking full and fresh, book infills every 2–3 weeks. At Urban Glam, we offer flexible appointments and keep track of your lash growth cycle to give you the best results every time.

8. Hands Off from your eyelash extension

Avoid touching, rubbing, or pulling at your lashes. It’s tempting, but it shortens their life and damages your natural lashes. If you feel itchiness or discomfort, it could be time for a gentle clean, or a visit back to us for a quick check-up.

9. Choose Quality Lashes and Product

Not all eyelash extensions are the same. At Urban Glam, we use premium-quality lashes and medically safe adhesives that ensure your lashes last longer and stay healthy. We believe in quality, and our results speak for themselves.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget the Brows.

While you’re giving your lashes all the love, don’t neglect your brows. Well-groomed eyebrows frame your face and enhance your overall look. At Urban Glam, we also specialize in brow shaping, tinting, and styling to complement your lash extensions perfectly.
