Lash extensions in Redcliffe are one of the most popular beauty treatments for women who want fuller lashes without daily makeup.
But if you’ve recently had lash extensions — or you’re thinking about getting them — you might be wondering how to take care of them properly so they last.
At Lash Lovers & Brow Babes in Redcliffe, this is one of the most common questions we get from clients across Moreton Bay. The good news is that lash extensions are actually quite low maintenance when you know what to do.
Here are some simple tips to help your lashes stay full, fluffy, and looking beautiful for longer.
Avoid Water for the First 24 Hours
After getting lash extensions, the adhesive needs a little time to fully cure.
For traditional lash systems, we usually recommend avoiding water, steam, saunas, or heavy workouts for the first 24 hours. This helps the bond set properly so your lashes last longer.
At our Redcliffe salon, many clients choose BEAM Light lash extensions, which are cured instantly using a specialised LED light. One of the benefits of this system is that lashes can get wet straight away, making them a great option for active lifestyles in the Moreton Bay are
Clean Your Lashes Regularly
A common myth is that you shouldn’t wash lash extensions. In reality, clean lashes last longer.
Natural oils, makeup, sunscreen, and everyday debris can build up around the lash line. If lashes aren’t cleaned properly, this buildup can affect retention and even irritate the eyes.
We recommend using a gentle lash cleanser and softly cleaning the lashes each day, especially if you wear eye makeup.
If you need a cleanser, we also stock a professional lash cleanser online through our sister brand Alchemy Beauty. Many of our Redcliffe and Moreton Bay clients use it to keep their lash extensions clean and healthy between appointments.

Be Gentle With Your Lashes
Lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes, so treating them gently makes a big difference.
Try to avoid rubbing your eyes, pulling at the lashes, or sleeping face-down on your pillow.
Brushing your lashes with a clean spoolie brush each morning can help keep them neat and separated.
Many lash clients in Redcliffe and across Moreton Bay find that this small daily habit keeps their lashes looking much fuller between appointments.
Book Regular Lash Fills
Your natural lashes go through a growth cycle, which means extensions naturally shed along with them.
Most people lose 2–5 natural lashes per day, which is completely normal. This is why lash fills are usually recommended every 2–3 weeks to keep your set looking full.
Regular fills allow your lash artist to replace the lashes that have naturally shed and maintain the shape and style of your original set.
Taking care of your lash extensions doesn’t need to be complicated. Simple habits like keeping them clean, brushing them gently, and booking regular fills can make a big difference in how long they last.
