Do you ever wonder how to remove lash extensions with coconut oil? If you are like most people, you probably have at least a few lids. While lids can be quite annoying when they’re in, there are times when having them on would actually be a good thing! For example, maybe you just slept all day and your eyes feel tired. Or maybe you just want to cover up those puffy eyes from too much drinking the night before. In any case, here’s the top-secret trick for getting rid of lash extensions fast and easy!
How To Remove Lash Extensions with Coconut Oil
1. The First Step to Removing Lash Extensions is to Wash your Face.
This step is very important! You need to make sure that you’re completely clean and free of any oil or makeup residue on your skin before you begin. If you have any kind of blackhead or acne, you should definitely let it heal before using coconut oil.
2. After Washing Your Face, Apply Coconut Oil.
You can either apply the coconut oil directly on the lash extensions or put a piece of cotton in your empty mascara tube and apply the coconut oil on top of it (this will help prevent the cotton from absorbing too much of the coconut oil).
3. Put on your Eye Lid Mask.
This step is optional, but it does make removing lashes easier and quicker! You can either put an eye mask over your eyes or just use a handkerchief or napkin that’s damp with water and wrap it around your eyes for 15 – 20 minutes (the longer you leave it on, the easier it will be to remove). This is especially important if you have dark circles under your eyes from lack of sleep!
4. Remove the Eye Mask.
When you remove the eye mask, be careful not to touch your face or any part of your eye with your fingers. The reason for this is that oil from your finger can make it more difficult for you to remove the eyelashes. So, if you’re removing lash extensions, just use a cotton swab or piece of cotton soaked in coconut oil (or even better yet, use a makeup remover pad).
5. Carefully Pick up the Lash Extensions and Apply Coconut Oil to Them.
You’ll have to be very careful when removing lash extensions with coconut oil because the glue is very strong! If you don’t do it correctly, you risk breaking them off! So, carefully pick up each one and apply a little bit of coconut oil to it (this will prevent them from sticking together). If they’re too hard to pick up without breaking them off, then try using tweezers or another tool that will help you separate them from each other (e.g., bobby pins).
6. Repeat Steps 3-5 until All of Your Lashes Are Removed!
If the lashes are really stuck together after they are removed, then repeat Step 5 again using more coconut oil on top of what is already there (this will help loosen and separate them out!). Once all of them are removed, clean off any excess coconut oil with a tissue and dry off your face with a warm towel so that it’s completely dry before putting on your regular makeup.
7. Apply a Drying Lotion After Removing Lashes.
If you have eyelash extensions that are too hard to remove with coconut oil, then you’ll have to use some other method of removing them. However, if the glue is still strong enough to be removed by coconut oil, then you can skip this step and apply a drying lotion on your lashes after removing them (this will help your eyelashes not stick together when you put on your eye makeup). So, if the glue is too strong to be removed by coconut oil, then apply a drying lotion instead!
What are the features of Lash Extensions?
- Lash Extensions are generally made of synthetic material.
- Lash Extensions are one of the most popular types of cosmetic eyelash extensions because they can be very natural-looking and can be made to look as if they’re naturally growing out of your eye.
- Lash Extensions can be made to look like individual eyelashes, multiple eyelashes, or even a full set of eyelashes!
- Lash Extensions are generally hard to remove without damaging them, so it’s important that you have patience when removing them (like cleaning off coconut oil from your skin) so that you don’t break them off!
- Lash Extensions usually last for about 2-4 weeks before you have to go back and get new ones put on (depending on how well they’re applied).
- lash extensions come in many different lengths, thicknesses, colors, and types such as monofilament lashes (longest), monofilament lashes with individual hairs per lash (thinnest), monofilament lashes with individual hairs per lash with a glued band (medium thickness), monofilament lashes with individual hairs per lash with a glued band and glue bands along the length of the lash (thickest), monofilament lashes with individual hairs per lash with glue bands along the length of the lash and a tapered tip (thinnest).
What is the fastest way to remove lash extensions?
- The fastest way to remove lash extensions is by using a warm, soapy cloth and gently rubbing the glue off of your lashes.
- If you don’t want to use a warm cloth, then you can use a cotton swab and gently rub the glue off of your lashes with it.
- You can also try using a makeup remover that contains acetone and rubbing the glue off of your lashes with it.
- If you’re really impatient and really want to get rid of your eyelash extensions as fast as possible, then you can try using a nail polish remover (like Sally Hansen) which has acetone in it as well as some other harsh chemicals that will help remove the lash extension glue quickly!
How long does lash extensions last?
- Lash extensions generally last anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 weeks before you have to go back and get new ones put on.
- Some lash extensions can last up to 6 months, while others can only last for a few weeks before they start to fall out.
- The best way to tell how long your eyelash extensions will last is by looking at the glue that they were placed with and see if it has been removed or not.
- If the glue hasn’t been removed, then that means that your eyelash extensions are still attached and will last for a little while longer!
- If the glue has been removed, then that means that your eyelash extensions have fallen off (and you need to go get new ones put on).
What if You Have Dried Out Extensions?
- If you have dried-out lash extensions, then you can try using coconut oil to restore the moisture to your eyelashes.
- You can also try using a lash conditioner (such as Q-Tips) to apply onto your lashes before applying your mascara so that the mascara will go on easier and stay on longer.
- You can also use a lash conditioner (such as Q-Tips) to apply onto your lashes before applying eyeliner or eye shadow so that it will go on easier and stay on longer.
- You can also place a pure cotton ball dipped in a mild eye makeup remover solution onto each of the individual lashes and gently rub until all of the glue is loosened off.
- You can also try using an eyelash comb/brush to help remove any dried glue from your eyelashes (this would only work if you have monofilament lashes).
Conclusion
If you are looking for a quick and easy way to get rid of lash extensions, look no further. The process of removing them is actually the opposite of what you would do if you wanted to keep them. In order to get the most out of your synthetic eyelashes, you will want to remove them as soon as they are done. The technique is to cleanse your eyes and then apply the coconut oil to the eye area twice daily for two weeks. After this, you will have the most gorgeous eyelid-less eyes!
