You love your extensions. But every two weeks you sit in the chair wondering why they are shedding so fast. "Am I doing something wrong?" Yes, probably. I asked ten top lash artists to spill the tea on what they desperately wish their clients knew. It is going to change how you sleep tonight.

10 Eye-Opening Truths Straight From the Chair

1. Stop sleeping on your face. A silk pillowcase is your new best friend. Side sleeping kills retention by up to 40% as the friction shreds the bonds.
2. Oil is the enemy. Everything you know about skincare is ruining your lashes. Cetyl alcohol and oil-based cleansers dissolve the glue instantly. Switch to oil-free everything.
3. You DO need to wash them. The opposite assumption is dangerous. Your artist wishes you cleaned them daily with a lash foam. Buildup causes retention loss and irritation.
4. Do not wait too long for a fill. A fill at 2 weeks takes 45 minutes. A full set at 4 weeks takes 2 hours. The math is simple. Do not let them get too sparse.
