How to solve your TOP 3 DIY LASH concerns

So, we know why you're here,

you're still contemplating wether you should enter the world of DIY lashes but there's something stopping you.. You ask yourself:

"Ok i want this, but how do i make them last? Can i sleep in them? Can i shower in them"

Your questions are endless and you feel unsure which step to take. So let us help you break down the 3 most common questions and concerns when it comes to everything DIY lashes.

1:

"Does the glue feel sticky throughout the day?"

Short answer: No

LESS IS MORE

The top reason for sticky-feeling lashes is using too much lash bond and applying it like mascara. Trust us, less is more! Apply a small amount in a zigzag or dab motion close to your waterline, about 2mm away from the waterline to prevent irritation.

Only placing the bond too far out on the natural lashes leads to droopy lashes with a weak hold.

Remember, your DIY lash band should grip the bond, not just rely on the lash fibers!

2:

"I have really oily eyelids, can i still wear DIY lashes?"

Short answer: Yes

USING OIL-FREE PRODUCTS

Oil breaks down makeup and lash adhesives, but don’t fret! Pure facial oils won't cause your DIY lashes to lift.. Many HAYATI shoppers with oily skin have a trick to keep their DIY lashes secure. Start with a freshly washed face—no makeup or creams!

Apply the lash bond at the base of your lashes, not like mascara.
Apply the DIY lashes in the morning to prevent rubbing your face on the pillow while you sleep.
Use oil-free cleansers for makeup removal
And every morning, clamp your lashes together and add a small amount of sealer along the lash band.

3:

"Can i apply my DIY lashes before bed/shower and wake up flawless?"

Short answer: Yes and no

24 HOUR RULE

Applying your DIY lashes before bed can simplify your morning routine, but be careful if you applied before bed and you sleep on your face! The lash bond needs time to set, and sleeping on it may cause minor lifting. Applying in the morning is advisable to ensure optimal adhesion throughout the day!

Remember, avoid showering with direct water stream to your face and washing your face for 24 hours after application—this is key for the bond to fully adhere and seal.

Choose oil-free cleansers to keep your lash bond strong! Over time, oil cleansers can weaken the grip and make your lashes lift little by little.
