Do your lash extensions and brow tint fade before your next visit; Nails by Naily tips can help you keep them longer. Oils, sweat, and sun break down brow tint and lash adhesive, and most extensions last one to three weeks.

This post gives clear steps, like cleansing with isopropyl alcohol, avoiding oil-based products, using a lash serum and a spoolie, and pairing care with nail tips and nail care routines.

Read on for simple pro tips.

Key Takeaways

Prep your lashes and brows by cleaning with 70% isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol before appointments. Remove all oils and old makeup for better adhesion of tints and extensions.
Use a lash and brow serum daily after appointments to keep hair healthy. Brush lashes with a spoolie each day to prevent tangling.
Avoid oil-based products, waterproof mascara, scrubbing, or exfoliation near brows. These break down adhesives and fade tints quickly.
Protect results by sleeping on your back, limiting sun exposure, and using gentle sulfate-free cleansers around eyes and brows.
Schedule regular refill visits every two to three weeks at Nails by Naily for lasting lash extensions. Consistent care reduces damage risk and keeps salon results looking fresh.

Prepping Your Lashes and Brows for Longevity

Prepping your lashes and brows is essential for lasting results. Start by cleansing your face thoroughly before any appointment to remove dirt and makeup. Use gentle skin care products instead of oil-based items, as these can weaken the bond of brow tints and lash extensions.

Cleanse thoroughly before your appointment

We prepare lashes and brows for longer wear. Clean skin helps adhesives and tints hold.

Cleanse the eye area with 70% isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol, or use a professional nail cleanser to remove oils and bacteria before application.
Remove any old makeup or polish, including gelish or OPI residue, so adhesives like nail glue and products for lash extensions bond to clean skin.
Wash and dry hands and tools thoroughly, since clean hands lower the chance of contamination during lash and brow service.
Push back the cuticles and clear dead skin along the brow line to expose fresh skin for tint and adhesive contact.
Lightly buff the brow skin surface and the base of lashes where extensions attach, to dehydrate the surface and improve adhesion.
Avoid oil-based moisturizers or skin care products on the day of your appointment, because oils break down glue used for lash extensions and brow tint.
Use tools and implements that you trust, such as sanitized pro-touch nail tips and spoolie brushes, to keep the application precise and hygienic.
Follow proper cleansing steps to reduce the risk of irritation or infection during wear, which helps maintain salon results between refill appointments.

Avoid oil-based products

Avoid oil-based creams, makeup removers, and serums before your appointment. Oils on the nail plate interfere with adhesion and cause lifting or premature loss of nail tips and products.

Use alcohol-based cleansers to remove oils before applying nail extensions, press on nails, acrylics, soft gel extensions, polygel, or dip nails. Non-acid primers improve bonding more than oil-based alternatives.

Oils can trap bacteria and raise the risk of irritation or allergies to adhesives and tints.

Skip oil-based brow creams and facial oils around tinting or lamination services. Technicians use alcohol cleansers and tools & implements to get a clean surface for manicure & pedicure clients and nail art lovers.

This small change helps keep full-well nails and half-well nail tips secure and helps lash and brow looks last longer.

Post-Appointment Care Tips

After your appointment, use a lash and brow serum daily. This will keep your lashes and brows healthy and looking vibrant. Avoid touching or rubbing the areas too much. Rubbing can lead to unwanted fallout or irritation.

Sleep on your back to minimize friction that could damage them during the night.

Use a lash and brow serum

At Nails by Naily, our team recommends a lash and brow serum to nourish fragile hairs. The serum supports hair health and helps keep tint and extensions looking fresh.

Apply the serum nightly with a clean brush or spoolie, like the ones we use with xcoattips®. Regular use can improve longevity and enhance results between appointments.

Avoid excessive touching or rubbing

Excessive touching or rubbing can cause serious issues for your lashes and brows. This behavior leads to lifting, breakage, or premature loss of extensions and tints. Physical manipulation increases irritation risks too, especially when uncured gel touches the skin.

To maintain those beautiful lash extensions from Nails by Naily, limit contact with your eyes and brows throughout the day. Take care during cleansing to avoid unnecessary friction.

Prioritize gentle handling to preserve the quality of your lash and brow services while enjoying stunning results for longer periods.

Sleep on your back to prevent friction

Sleeping on your back keeps friction away from your lashes and brows. This position helps maintain their shape and appearance, reducing the risk of losing extensions too soon. Avoiding side sleeping also protects your lash enhancements and brow tint from unnecessary wear.

Friction can damage both lashes and brow shapes, leading to premature fading or loss. By prioritizing back-sleeping, you promote longevity for those beautiful features. Make this simple change at night for better lasting effects between appointments at Nails by Naily.

Maintaining Lash Extensions

To keep your lash extensions looking fresh, brush them daily with a spoolie to prevent tangles. Avoid waterproof mascara because it can weaken the bond of the extensions and lead to premature shedding.

Brush lashes daily with a spoolie

Brush your lashes daily with a spoolie to keep them looking fresh. This simple step helps maintain the separation of lash extensions, preventing clumping and tangling. Using a spoolie also dislodges any debris that may stick to your lashes, keeping them neat and tidy.

Take care while brushing. Ensure you use gentle strokes so you don’t pull on the extensions. Regular brushing enhances appearance and makes maintenance easier between appointments at Nails by Naily.

Avoid waterproof mascara

Waterproof mascara can be tough to remove and may weaken your lash extensions. These products often lead to premature shedding, leaving your lashes looking sparse. Instead, opt for water-soluble mascaras that wash off easily.

Using recommended products helps protect the adhesive bonds holding your lash extensions in place. This way, you maximize their lifespan and keep them looking fabulous longer between appointments at Nails by Naily.

Schedule regular refills

Regular refills play a vital role in maintaining the beauty of your lash extensions. Schedule these appointments every two to three weeks. This frequency helps address natural growth and prevents lifting, which can affect your overall look.

Each refill session ensures your lashes remain full and healthy.

During these visits, professionals check the adhesion of each extension. They replace any that have loosened or fallen out. By keeping up with this routine, you protect your investment in stunning lashes.

Additionally, consistent care minimizes the risk of damage to your natural lashes and maintains that perfect appearance you love!

Prolonging Brow Tint and Shape

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight

Sunlight can fade both nail and brow tints quickly. Limit your time under direct sunlight to keep colors vibrant longer. Wear hats or use protective products like UV-blocking sprays when outdoors.

These measures help maintain the shape of your brows and the brightness of your nails, especially those stunning french nails or colorful pastel shades.

Taking simple actions goes a long way in preserving your beauty treatments. Regularly check for signs of fading. If you notice changes, consider adjusting your outdoor habits for better results with those dipping powders or lash extensions you've invested in at Nails by Naily.

Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser

Choose a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser for your brows and lashes. This type of cleanser helps maintain the tint while protecting sensitive skin. Harsh cleansers can strip color and cause irritation.

Use products made from mild ingredients to keep both hair and skin healthy.

Using a sulfate-free formula preserves your brow shape and lash extensions longer. Many brands offer options that fit this need, like IBD or Morgan Taylor products. By sticking to these gentle cleansers, you will enjoy better results between appointments at Nails by Naily.

Avoid exfoliating around the brow area

Exfoliating near the brow area can quickly fade tint and ruin the shape. Scrubs, acids, or retinoids can break down the color of recently tinted brows. Gentle care helps maintain your brow treatments longer.

Stick to a sulfate-free cleanser for cleaning around your brows. This choice supports healthy skin while preserving that fresh look you want from Nails by Naily's services. For added protection, always handle your brows with care to keep them looking sharp between appointments.
