I Removed BAD Lash Extensions That Cause damage. Here’s How.

Hey Lash Lovers. Welcome to our Divine Lashes v blog. So you had terrible lashes done and now you want to have them removed?

Well, in today’s video, I’m going to be taking you through a full removal in a salon setting. This appointment was around 30 minutes long, but for the sake of this video, I sped it up so we can go through the process together quicker.

So let’s get started!

This client had her lashes done around two weeks ago while visiting a different city. She found that her lashes were starting to get itchy and irritated, so she decided to get a removal.

For the sake of this video, I’m only going to show you the removal on one eye, but the process is done on both eyes simultaneously.

First, we’re going to apply under-eye patches and tape to separate her eyelashes. Let’s take a closer look at her extensions. Eyelash extension is not a regulated industry, so from salon to salon, the technique and materials can vary greatly.

For instance, this was a classic set. You can see that the extensions chosen were very long and thick. They were also not separated properly. So many of the extensions were stuck together and some of them were attached way too far from the skin, causing them to twist and turn.

If she continued for a long period with these extensions, she would have experienced damage to her natural lashes.

When I do a full removal, I like to use the creamy type. I love using this product because the creamy texture allows me to see exactly where I’m applying the product.

I really pack this on focusing on where the extensions are attached. The remover only targets the adhesive so you should never worry about the remover damaging your natural lashes.

I like to apply this product as close to the roots as possible without touching the skin. And since it has a very viscous consistency, I have better control applying this product onto the hairs and I like to use a paper towel square so the under-eye patches and tape always stay clean.

After the remover is applied everywhere thoroughly, I let it sit for a few minutes. I know when the remover is working.

Once the extensions begin to slide off of the natural lashes, if it’s not quite ready, I would add a little bit more product and let it sit longer. I take my lint-free applicator and paper towel and carefully remove the extensions starting from one side to the other.

Most of the extensions were removed, but there are a few stubborn strands left. For these ones, I will use my tweezers and gently remove them one by one.

Now take a new lift-free applicator and paper towel and carefully wipe down the natural lashes. This is to make sure that there is no product left behind. Finally, I cleanse the natural lashes with lash shampoo, rinse the lashes, then dry the lashes.

Having your extensions removed professionally is a safe, quick, and delicate process. When extensions are done properly, you can wait for them to shed naturally.

However, a removal is recommended when the work is not done well, like in this case. And now we peel everything off carefully and the appointment is complete.

Just remember, every artist has their own method of process, so your experience may be a little bit different.

I hope enjoyed watching this video and now have a good idea of what to expect when you have your lashes removed.

Please share with me your questions and comments below because I would always love to hear from you.

Until next time. Bye.
