Can You Use a Lash Serum with Lash Extensions?

One of the most common questions we receive is, "Can I use a lash serum with my lash extensions?" And the answer is a resounding YES!

If you want to maintain longer, fuller, healthier lashes, then we highly recommend using a lash growth serum with your lash extensions. It’s an essential step in a healthy eyelash maintenance routine. Neglecting your eyelash health can lead to lash fallout, weakness, brittleness, and damage - something we definitely DON’T want!

Here are our top 5 things to remember when using a lash serum with your lash extensions:

Yes, lash serums are safe to use with lash extensions.

Using a lash serum while wearing extensions keeps your lashes healthy and can reduce the time needed to repair your natural eyelashes. This is especially true if you are planning on wearing lash extensions for more than 6 months. Many lash technicians recommend their clients take a break from extensions after some period of time. Usually, 4-6 weeks is enough for your lashes to naturally rejuvenate. This is a prime time to use your lash serum to speed up the healing process. 

Check the ingredients.

Many eyelash serums on the market contain a variety of ingredients, including parabens, sulphates, and oils. While oils have their benefits, they can be problematic when it comes to lash extensions, as they can dissolve the adhesives.

Our oil-free formula in our best-selling lash serum is specially crafted for seamless compatibility with lash extensions. 

Parabens and sulphates are also big no-nos as they are believed to disrupt hormones and may even pose a risk of cancer due to their easy absorption. It's always advisable to steer clear of any beauty products containing these ingredients, especially eyelash serums! That’s why Lash CEO Lash Growth Serum has been carefully formulated using natural ingredients only (free from prostaglandin and other nasties!) to achieve luscious lashes without compromising your health or comfort. We also ensure our serum contains essential vitamins, like panthenol, biotin, and Vitamin E, which play a vital role in keeping your lashes nourished and hydrated while effectively preventing breakage. Find out more about our ingredients in our blog ‘Are Lash Serums Safe?’.

Lash CEO serum can be used to maintain healthy natural lashes alongside lash extensions or boost your natural lash game, helping you transition away from extensions to all-natural lashes in no time!

Avoid using lash serum immediately after applying extensions.

The adhesive needs time to cure and dry so wait at least 4 hours before applying any lash serum to avoid disrupting the bonding process. Once this period is over you can safely apply your lash growth serum.

Don’t over-apply the lash serum.

Our lash serum is packed with lash-boosting ingredients and only requires one application a day. This is especially important to remember if you are wearing extensions.

Using too much lash serum can have the same effect as using oils. Large amounts of serum applied to your eyes might weaken the glue and cause your extensions to fall out faster. One dip, two swipes and you’re set.

And guess what? Just one little bottle of Lash CEO Lash Growth Serum is all it takes to see healthier, natural lashes. Plus, one bottle will last you a good 2-3 months or even longer. Now, that's what we call a win-win!

Make it a habit.

If you are using a lash serum to keep your lashes healthy while wearing extensions you are going to want to apply it every day.

Remember, you need to be consistent to see results. You don’t hit the gym once and expect to walk out with killer abs, right? Same goes for lash growth serum. You need to be consistent to see the very best results - and it does take time. 

The best time to apply your lash serum is in the evening when you’ve just cleaned your face and there is a lower risk of particles getting in your eye. 

If you follow these tips, you’ll keep your lashes healthy while rocking those fabulous eyelash extensions!
