Care Guide for Our Multi-Day Wear Lash Extensions Set

Congratulations on your new MAYA Multi-Day Wear Lash Extensions Set! Designed for effortless beauty that lasts, these DIY extensions give you the freedom to create stunning looks at home. To ensure your lashes remain beautiful, comfortable, and long-lasting, proper care is key.

Follow this guide to maximize the life and allure of your Multi-Day Wear Lash Extensions:

1. The "Golden Rule" - The First 24 Hours:
   • Stay Dry: After applying your MAYA lashes, avoid direct water contact, excessive steam (from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms), and heavy sweating for at least 24 hours. This allows the bond to fully cure and secure your lashes for optimal wear. If clusters loosen within this period due to getting wet, allow them to dry, then re-fuse with your application tool. Resist the urge touch, pull or pick at your new lashes. The bond is still resting, and disturbing it can lead to premature lifting.
2. Daily Care for Lasting Beauty:
    • Be Gentle, Always: This is paramount. Avoid rubbing your eyes, and be mindful when washing your face or applying skincare. Pat your face dry, don't rub. 
    • Oil-Free is Your Friend: Oil-based products are the archenemy of lash adhesive. They break down the bond and cause your extensions to fall off prematurely.
      ~ Avoid Oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, eye creams, and even some facial moisturizers.
      ~ Opt for: Oil-free, lash-extension-safe cleansers (like micellar water or a dedicated lash cleanser), and water-based skincare products around your eye area.
    ~ Brush Regularly: Use a clean, dry spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes once or twice a day. This helps to keep them separated, fluffy, and perfectly aligned, preventing tangles.
   • Sleep Smart: To prevent premature shedding:
      ~ Try to sleep on your back.
      ~ If you're a side or stomach sleeper, consider using a contoured lash-friendly sleep mask designed to protect your extensions from friction against your pillow.
   
3. What to Avoid:
    • Mascara on Extensions: Do not apply mascara to your Multi-Day Wear Lash Extensions. It will clump the lashes, make them difficult to clean, and can break down the bond, significantly shortening their wear time.
    • Eyelash Curlers: Mechanical curlers will bend and damage your extensions and potentially your natural lashes. Your Maya lashes come with a beautiful curl already!
   • Waterproof Eye Makeup: These products often contain oils and harsh chemicals that are detrimental to your lash bond.
    • Pulling or Picking: Never pull, tug, or pick at your lashes. This can rip out your natural lashes along with the extensions, causing damage.      
   • Avoid Heat Extremes: While your Maya lashes are designed to be durable, excessive heat can still weaken the bond and potentially alter the curl. Be cautious around:
      ~ Ovens or open flames.
      ~ Hairdryers (use a cool setting and keep at a distance).
   ~ Saunas and overly steamed showers 
4. Removal & Reuse:
   • Gentle Removal is Key: When it's time to remove your Maya Multi-Day Wear Lash Extensions (typically after 10 days of wear with proper care), use the remover provided in the set for dissolving the bond.
      ~ Apply the remover like applying mascara.
      ~ Gently slide the clusters off your natural lashes. Do not pull.
5. Cleaning for Potential reuse:
   • Gently peel off any remaining adhesive from the lash band using tweezers or your fingers. Be careful not to tug on the lash.
   • You can gently clean the clusters with micellar water and a soft brush, then rinse and allow to air dry (not recommended until the lashes are visibly dirty to avoid losing the lash curls). 
   • Store them in their original tray to maintain their shape for future use.
   
   By committing to these simple care steps, your MAYA Multi-Day Wear Lash Extensions will continue to provide you with stunning, comfortable, and long-lasting lash looks! Enjoy your gorgeous, effortless gaze!
