Quick answer
A consistent lash care routine—gentle cleaning, careful storage, and regular maintenance—keeps your House of Lashes sets looking fresh and extends their lifespan significantly.
Why a dedicated care routine matters for lash sets
Custom 3-packs like the Classic Collection Custom 3-Pack or Secret Collection Custom 3-Pack let you build a personalized lash wardrobe. But without proper care, even the best lashes can lose their shape, collect stubborn glue residue, or become a breeding ground for bacteria. A few minutes after each wear saves you money and keeps your eyes healthy.
The key trade-off: thorough cleaning takes a little time upfront, but it prevents the need to replace lashes after just one or two uses.
Step-by-step lash care routine
- Remove glue gently after each wear: Hold the lash near the band and use fine-tipped tweezers to peel off dried glue from the band. Avoid pulling from the lash hairs—this can cause shedding. If glue is stubborn, soak the band in oil-free makeup remover for 30 seconds first. Never rub or scrub the band with your fingers; it weakens the glue bond over time.
- Clean lashes with a gentle solution: Dip a cotton swab or small brush in micellar water or a dedicated lash cleanser. Gently wipe along the band and through the lash hairs, removing mascara, liner, and residual glue. Rinse with cool water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol-based removers—they dry out the lash fibers and make them brittle.
- Reshape and air-dry completely: After cleaning, place lashes back in their original tray or on a clean surface. Gently curl the band back to its natural curve using your fingers. Let them air-dry fully (about 10–15 minutes) before storing. Storing damp lashes encourages bacteria growth and can warp the band shape.
- Store in a clean, dry lash case: Keep each pair in its own compartment of a lash case or the original tray. Avoid crushing multiple pairs together. Store away from direct sunlight and humidity, like in a makeup drawer or vanity. A sealed lash case prevents dust buildup and accidental bending during travel.
- Inspect and rotate your lash sets: Every few wears, check for loose hairs, misshapen bands, or stubborn glue residue. Rotate between different styles from your custom 3-pack to reduce wear on any single pair. Replace lashes once the band loses its curl or hairs start falling out regularly. Rotating extends the lifespan of your entire lash collection, not just one pair.
