How to care for your 3D lash extensions
As soon as you walk out of one of these innovative volume appointments, you'll look in the mirror and wish your new lashes could last forever. While they will eventually fall out, with the proper tender love and care, you can help them last longer. "When caring for volume lashes, the same rules as caring for classic lash extensions apply," Marin says. In other words? Don't get them wet immediately after application (that means for at least 6 to 12 hours after depending on the adhesive used); don't use any products containing oil on or immediately around the lash line; don't rub your eyes; and always brush them gently if and when you need to cleanse them (using an extension-friendly cleanser, of course).

One last thing to watch out for
While maintenance is the same, there is one big difference between volume and classic lashes: You can't wear any mascara — ever. "Classic eyelash extensions wearers can use a water-based mascara, whilst volume eyelash extensions wearers must never use mascara, as even water-based formulas close the fluffy custom made fans together and makes them look clumpy," explains Marin.
