How to Maintain Your Gorgeous Volume Lashes
Right after your appointment, it's common to feel that your lashes are stunning yet slightly heavier than normal. This is entirely normal. To ensure they last, we recommend avoiding excessive moisture for the first 24 hours and steering clear of oil-based products around the eyes. As for scheduling your next appointment, most clients find they can maintain their volume lashes with touch-ups every 2-3 weeks. This keeps them looking fresh and fabulous.
