When Sleeping: Sleep on Your Back to Protect Beautiful Lashes​

Night is a time for the body to relax and rest, but for lash extensions, the choice of sleeping position is crucial. Many people are used to sleeping on their stomachs, finding it reassuring, but for lash extensions, this is simply a “disaster.” When sleeping on your stomach, your face is pressed tightly against the pillow, and the lashes are in prolonged close contact with the pillow, enduring great pressure, like being crushed under a mountain. This constant pressure messes up the direction of lash growth—originally neat and curled lashes become disheveled, seriously affecting their appearance. Moreover, under such strong pressure, the lashes are prone to breaking, like fragile twigs snapped by external force, resulting in incomplete lashes. At the same time, the pressure loosens the bond between the lash roots and the adhesive, causing the lashes to fall off one after another, just like a tree with damaged roots that can’t grow stably.​

To allow the lashes to “rest” peacefully at night, it’s advisable to sleep on your back. When lying on your back, the lashes aren’t subjected to any pressure and can maintain their natural growth state, like stretching freely in a comfortable environment. This not only prevents the lashes from becoming misshapen, broken, or falling off but also extends their lifespan, keeping the beautiful lash effect longer. If it’s really hard to change your sleeping position, in the first few days after getting lash extensions, you can try reminding yourself to adjust your posture before bed or stick a note by the bed saying “Protect lashes, don’t sleep on your stomach” to keep yourself mindful.​

When They Fall Off: Professional Handling for Peace of Mind​

Over time, lash extensions will gradually fall off, which is a normal phenomenon. But when they start to fall, never be impatient, and never try to pull or remove them yourself. Many people can’t help but pull at the remaining lashes when they notice a few have fallen off. This behavior is like “helping seedlings grow by pulling them up”—it not only causes the remaining extensions to be affected and fall off prematurely but also may damage the natural lashes. It’s important to remember that natural lashes are the “natural protective umbrella” of our eyes; damaging them affects eye health and appearance.​

When lashes fall off, the best approach is to go to a professional lash salon and let a professional lash technician handle it. These technicians have received professional training and mastered scientific removal methods and techniques. They use specialized removal tools and gentle removers to carefully take off the lashes. During the removal process, they operate precisely according to the direction of lash growth and the adhesion of the adhesive, minimizing damage to natural lashes. Furthermore, the removers used in professional lash salons have undergone strict quality testing, being minimally irritating to the skin around the eyes, ensuring effective removal while safeguarding eye safety and health.
