FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I really swim with demi lashes on?
A: Yes. With proper application and waterproof adhesive, demi lashes hold through swimming and exercise. Let the adhesive set first and avoid rubbing your eyes.
Q: How long do they last in water?
A: 4–6 hours of normal pool activity. For lap swimming, you may notice loosening after an hour — blot with a towel and you’re set.
Q: What adhesive works best?
A: A waterproof, latex-free lash adhesive for extended wear. Apply a thin layer and let it become tacky for 30 seconds before placing.
Q: Can I reuse demi lashes after swimming?
A: Absolutely. Peel from the outer corner, remove dried adhesive with tweezers, clean with micellar water, and store in the original tray. A demi lash lasts 5–10 wears with proper care.
Q: Do they look natural enough for daily wear?
A: That’s the beauty of them. Demi lashes enhance your natural shape without overpowering it — subtle enough for the office, polished enough for the pool.
