What is a necessary step before applying eyelash extensions?

Thorough cleaning of natural lashes is essential before applying eyelash extensions because it ensures that the surface of the natural lashes is free from oils, makeup residue, and dirt. This cleanliness is crucial for optimal adhesion of the extensions to the natural lashes. Any remaining substances can interfere with the bonding agents used in the application process, potentially leading to premature shedding of the extensions and compromising the overall look and wear of the lash extensions.

Proper preparation of the natural lashes lays a solid foundation for a successful application, which is paramount for achieving longevity and maintaining the health of the natural lashes beneath. This step also enhances the comfort of the client, as a clean surface reduces irritation from leftover products.
