How to remove newly grafted eyelashes

‌Safe Removal of Newly Grafted Eyelashes‌ 

If your eyelash extensions were recently applied (within 1–2 weeks) and you need to remove them, follow these ‌safe steps‌ to avoid damaging natural lashes:

 ‌What NOT to Do‌

‌Avoid pulling/tugging‌: Forceful removal can break natural lashes or irritate follicles.

‌Skip DIY glue solvents‌: Harsh chemicals (e.g., acetone) may harm eyes or skin.

 ‌Recommended Methods

‌

1. ‌Professional Removal (Best Option)‌

‌Visit your technician‌: They use ‌specialized adhesive dissolvers‌ (e.g., lash extension removers) to safely dissolve the glue.

‌Cost‌: Typically $10\text{–}$25, depending on the salon.

2. ‌At-Home Removal (Gentle Approach)‌

‌Oil-based products‌:

• Apply ‌castor oil‌, ‌coconut oil‌, or ‌olive oil‌ along the lash line.
• Gently massage and let sit for 15–20 minutes to weaken the adhesive.
• Use a cotton swab to ease lashes off.

‌Steam method‌:

• Hold a warm, damp cloth over closed eyes for 5–10 minutes to loosen glue.
• Comb lashes with a spoolie to encourage shedding.

 ‌Aftercare Tips‌

Cleanse lashes with a ‌gentle, oil-free cleanser‌ post-removal.

Avoid reapplying extensions for ‌1–2 weeks‌ to let natural lashes recover.

 ‌When to Seek Help‌

If you experience ‌redness, swelling, or pain‌, consult a dermatologist or ophthalmologist immediately.

‌Note‌: Results vary based on adhesive strength and application technique. Prioritize safety over speed!
