To safely remove eyelash extensions at home, use an oil-based remover like coconut oil or castor oil to dissolve the lash glue. Begin by thoroughly removing makeup and washing the face, then apply steam to loosen the adhesive. Next, soak a cotton pad with the oil remover and press it gently against the lash line for a few minutes to dissolve the glue, and finally, gently wipe or slide off the extensions without pulling forcefully to avoid damaging natural lashes.
Step-by-step removal process
- Remove all makeup and cleanse the eye area gently.
- Use steam to loosen the adhesive by leaning over a bowl of hot water with a towel covering the head for 10-15 minutes.
- Apply warmed coconut oil, castor oil, or an oil-based remover on a cotton pad and hold it on the lashes to penetrate and dissolve the glue.
- Gently wipe or slide off the extensions; if resistant, reapply oil and wait longer.
- Avoid pulling or picking at the lashes to prevent natural lash damage.
Precautions
- Never forcibly pull off the extensions as this can cause lash loss.
- If unsure about the glue type or if removal is difficult, seek professional help.
- Be patient; at-home removal can take several attempts or days to fully loosen the glue.
This method safely removes eyelash extensions while minimizing damage to natural lashes.
