The Real Secret Behind Long-Lasting Lashes

When it comes to lash extensions, every client wants one thing — good retention. Long-lasting lashes that stay full and flawless don’t just look beautiful; they save time, effort, and money between appointments.

But at Posh Deluxe Salon in Perth, we’ve learned through years of experience that true lash retention isn’t about how many weeks your lashes last — it’s about how they shed naturally.

Most people think good lash retention means extensions that last “4–6 weeks.” But that’s not entirely accurate — we’ll break down how to have good lash retention based on real lash science and years of industry experience.

What Good Lash Retention Really Means

Good lash retention isn’t measured in weeks. It’s measured by how your extensions shed naturally with your own lashes.

Here’s how we define it at Posh Deluxe:

✅ Extensions only shed when your natural lashes do.
✅ The bond remains strong until the lash completes its natural growth cycle.
✅ You don’t see extensions falling off on their own — they always have a natural lash attached.

The truth is, every person’s lash cycle, growth rate, and lash density are different.
If a client has a lot of natural lashes and receives full coverage, their lashes will naturally appear fuller for longer. But if someone starts with fewer lashes, they may seem to lose more extensions in the same timeframe — and that doesn’t mean poor retention.

💡 True retention = healthy, natural shedding with close to no premature fallout.

Good lash retention is all about the quality of the bond and the health of the natural lashes — not just time.

Why Retention Starts with the Lash Artist (Not Just the Client)

Many lash technicians blame poor aftercare for retention issues — oily skin, sleeping habits, or not cleansing lashes properly. But as professionals, we believe in accountability.

At Posh Deluxe Salon, we know that 80% of lash retention depends on the lash artist’s technique and the quality of products used, and only 20% on client aftercare.

If excessive fallout happens, we don’t blame our clients — we assess, apologise, and fix it.
In fact, it’s extremely rare for us (only 1 in 100 lash sets) to experience retention problems, thanks to our strict application standards and top-tier lash products.

And because we stand behind our work, we offer a free touch-up policy if lash extensions shed excessively within 24–48 hours. That’s our guarantee of quality and care.

How We Ensure Excellent Lash Retention at Posh Deluxe

Here’s how our expert lash artists maintain superior retention results every day:

1. Thorough Lash Cleansing

Before any application, we ensure your lashes are free of oil, makeup, and residue using our gentle Posh Deluxe Professional Lash Cleanser and Primer.
A clean lash surface is essential for a strong bond — no exceptions.

2. Professional-Grade Adhesive

We only use our trusted Bond Babe Adhesive, a low-fume, fast-drying formula that delivers a secure, flexible bond even in Perth’s changing humidity. It’s the foundation of our flawless retention.

3. Perfect Isolation and Placement

Each lash is carefully isolated before the extension is applied, ensuring even weight distribution and preventing premature shedding.

4. Lightweight, Customised Lash Designs

Every set is customised based on your natural lash strength and eye shape using Posh Deluxe Classic, Volume, or Mega Volume Promade Fans — all made from premium Korean PBT fibre for softness, durability, and curl retention.

5. Controlled Environment

We maintain optimal humidity and temperature in our studio to ensure each adhesive cures perfectly — an often-overlooked factor that dramatically affects retention.

Client Aftercare Tips for Long-Lasting Lash Retention

While most retention depends on the lash artist’s skill, good aftercare still plays an important role.
Here’s how you can keep your lashes beautiful for longer:

• Avoid steam for the first 24 hours after your appointment.
  
• Clean lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser.
  
• Brush gently with a clean spoolie.
  
• Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase.
  
• Avoid oil-based products around the eyes.
  
• Schedule refills every 2–3 weeks to maintain fullness.
