Why DIY Eyelash Extensions?

Before we dive in, let’s talk about why DIY eyelash extensions are becoming so popular. With salon visits often costing hundreds of dollars and requiring regular maintenance, doing your own lashes can save you both time and money. Plus, it gives you full control over the length, volume, and style of your lashes, so you can customize them to match your look and mood.

What You Need to Know Before You Start

Here are some of the most common questions beginners ask about DIY eyelash extensions:

1. Is it safe to apply eyelash extensions at home?

   • Yes, applying eyelash extensions at home can be safe if you use high-quality products and follow proper instructions. Lecil’s Presse Pre-Bonded Lashes and Bond & Seal Lash Kits are designed with safety in mind, using gentle ingredients that minimize irritation.

2. How long do DIY lash extensions last?

   • The longevity of your lashes depends on the products you use and how well you care for them. Lecil's lash kits can last up to 10 days with proper application and aftercare.

3. What’s the difference between pre-bonded and bond & seal lashes?

   • Great question! Let’s break this down further below.

Comparing Lecil Presse Pre-Bonded Lashes vs. Bond & Seal Lash Kits

Choosing the right lash kit is the key to your DIY success. Lecil offers two main types of DIY eyelash extensions that cater to different needs and experience levels:

1. Lecil Presse Pre-Bonded Lashes

   • Perfect for beginners: These lashes are pre-coated with a gentle adhesive, so you don't need to fuss with lash glue or additional bonding products.
   • Quick application: Simply press the lashes onto your natural lash line for instant results.
   • Natural look: The pre-bonded design offers a seamless, lightweight feel that looks effortlessly natural.

2. Lecil Bond & Seal Lash Kits

   • Long-lasting hold: This kit includes a bonding agent and a sealing coat to lock your lashes in place for an extended wear time.
   • Customizable look: You can layer different lash segments to create your desired volume and length.
   • Best for experienced users: This option requires a bit more technique and precision but offers a longer-lasting and more secure fit.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying DIY Eyelash Extensions

Ready to get started? Follow these simple steps to apply your Lecil lashes like a pro:

1. Prep Your Natural Lashes

   • Clean your lashes thoroughly with an oil-free cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. This helps the adhesive bond better and ensures a longer-lasting hold.
   • Curl your natural lashes gently to help them blend more seamlessly with the extensions.

2. Applying Presse Pre-Bonded Lashes

   • Gently lift a lash segment from the tray with tweezers.
   • Starting from the outer corner, press the pre-bonded lash onto your natural lash line, positioning it as close as possible without touching your skin.
   • Repeat this process, moving inward towards the center, until you achieve your desired look.

3. Applying Bond & Seal Lashes

   • Apply a thin layer of the bonding agent directly to your natural lashes.
   • Using tweezers, place the lash segment on top of the bonded area, pressing gently to secure it.
   • Once all the segments are in place, seal your lashes by applying the sealing coat to lock everything in for a durable hold.

How to Remove DIY Eyelash Extensions Safely

Proper removal is crucial to keeping your natural lashes healthy and strong. Here’s how to do it without causing damage:

1. For Presse Pre-Bonded Lashes

   • Use an oil-based makeup remover to gently loosen the adhesive.
   • Allow the remover to sit for a minute, then carefully slide the lash segments off.

2. For Bond & Seal Lashes

   • Apply a lash remover or oil-based cleanser to break down the adhesive.
   • Gently massage your lashes and let the product sit for a few minutes before removing the lash segments.

Always take your time during the removal process to avoid pulling or tugging at your natural lashes.

Aftercare Tips for Longer-Lasting Lashes

To keep your lashes looking fresh and fabulous for as long as possible, follow these aftercare tips:

• Avoid oil-based products: Oils can weaken the adhesive, so opt for oil-free makeup removers and skincare products.
• Be gentle: Avoid rubbing your eyes or sleeping face-down to prevent the lashes from becoming loose.
• Keep them dry for 24 hours: For the first day after application, avoid water, steam, or sweat to give the adhesive time to set properly.
