If you live in Tempe, AZ, you know the desert heat can be brutal—not just on your skin but also on your lash extensions. The good news? With the right care, you can keep your lash extensions looking full and flawless for weeks, even in the Arizona sun!
Here’s everything you need to know about making your lash extensions last longer while beating the heat.
1. Choose the Right Lash Style for Your Lifestyle
Not all lash extensions are the same! At Dark Joy, I customize your lashes to match your lifestyle and ensure they last as long as possible. If you’re frequently outside, sweating, or swimming, a lightweight, natural set or hybrid lashes might hold up better than heavy-volume sets.
2. Avoid Steam and Sweat for the First 24-48 Hours
After your appointment, your lash adhesive needs at least 24 hours to fully cure. Avoid:
✅ Hot showers
✅ Saunas
✅ Workouts
✅ Direct sun exposure
Letting your lashes cure properly will prevent premature fallout and help your extensions stay bonded longer.
3. Use an Oil-Free Lash Cleanser
Sweat, sunscreen, and Arizona dust can build up on your lashes, making them shed faster. Clean your extensions daily with an oil-free lash cleanser and a soft brush to remove any dirt or oils without damaging the bond.
4. Protect Your Lashes from Sun & Heat
Extreme heat can weaken the lash adhesive, causing premature shedding. Try these heat-proof lash hacks:
• Wear sunglasses to protect your lashes from direct sun exposure.
• Avoid high-heat hair tools (like blow dryers) near your lashes.
• Sleep on a silk pillowcase to prevent lash friction while you sleep.
5. Schedule Regular Lash Fills
Even with perfect aftercare, your natural lashes shed every 6-8 weeks, which means your extensions will too! To keep them looking full, book a lash fill every 2-3 weeks at Dark Joy in Tempe.
