You should also avoid steam and excess heat for about 48 hours after getting them done.

Take care during this time and avoid wearing eye makeup if you can.

The first time you clean your lashes will be about two to three days after getting them done.

From then on, clean them two or three times a week, or once a day if you have oily skin or wear eye makeup.
