How to Beat the Itch: Solutions for Itchy Eyes after Lash Extensions

If you're tired of your regular ol' lashes, then you might be considering lash extensions. Lash extensions are basically fake lashes that are glued to your real lashes to give you longer, fuller lashes. They can be made from synthetic materials or real human hair, and they come in a variety of colors, lengths, and thicknesses.

Most lash extension treatments last for about two weeks, and then you have to get them redone. So if you're thinking about getting lash extensions, just know that it's a commitment.

And if you've ever had individual eyelash extensions, you know the drill: They make your lashes look fabulous for about 2-3 weeks, and then your eyes start to itch. By the end of week 4, you're ready to rip them out.

There are a few things you can do to minimize the itchiness, though.

Make sure that the lash technician uses individual lashes that are the right size for your eyes

Lash extensions are a great way to achieve the look of long, lush lashes without spending hours curling and coating them with mascara every day.

However, one downside of lash extensions is that they can sometimes cause itchy eyes. This is usually due to the fact that the lash technician has used lashes that are too big for the client's eyes. As a result, the lashes end up poking and irritating the sensitive skin around the eyes.

To avoid this problem, be sure to ask your lash technician to use individual lashes that are the right size for your eyes. That way, you can enjoy all the benefits of lash extensions without having to suffer from itchy eyes.

Use a hypoallergenic lash glue that's specifically designed for sensitive eyes

If you've ever gotten lash extensions, you know the feeling of waking up with itchy, watery eyes. Your first instinct is probably to rub your eyes, which of course only makes the situation worse. Even if you manage to avoid rubbing your eyes, the itchiness can last all day.

The good news is that there's a way to stop itchy eyes after lash extensions: hypoallergenic lash glue. This type of glue is specifically designed for sensitive eyes, and it can help to seal in the moisture and keep irritants out.

In addition, hypoallergenic lash glue is less likely to cause an allergic reaction. So if you're suffering from itchy eyes after lash extensions, give hypoallergenic lash glue a try. You just might find that it's the best way to keep your eyes comfortable and irritation-free.

Be sure to take care of your lashes after the extension procedure  

Be sure to use a gentle cleanser on your lashes every day to keep them clean and free of bacteria. If you follow these steps, you should be able to avoid itchiness and enjoy your lash extensions for weeks to come!
