KEEP STANDING OVER THAT GRILL—SEE WHAT HAPPENS

Yes, Your Lash Extensions Can Melt—Here’s What That Looks Like

Heat is one of the most underestimated threats to lash extensions. It can dry out adhesive, singe the tips, and weaken retention—even when you think you're being careful.

Let me walk you through real stories from my clients (and even myself) to show how heat exposure damages lashes more than most people realize.

Real Client Cases: When Heat Strikes

• A client once hovered over her BBQ grill prepping for a party—her lash tips ended up singed.
• Another tried to blow-dry her lashes after a shower (thinking it would fluff them up). The heat warped the extensions.
• One client, a beer girl on a golf course, was out in 117°F Arizona heat all summer. With the sun blasting down, the eye facing the driver’s-side window showed visible lash melting—even with sunglasses on.
• And yes—even I’ve had it happen. I spent my off days in the pool from 10am to 5pm during a heat wave. Some lash tips became brittle, dry, and slightly singed. Even without direct flame, UV heat and adhesive dehydrationcan silently damage your lashes.

What Happens to the Lashes?

• The tips become curled, frayed, or brittle
• Adhesive loses flexibility and becomes dry

Even if the lashes look clean, they may have been structurally compromised and will need to be removed and replaced during a fill.

How to Correct Singed Lash Extensions

Unfortunately, once extensions are heat-damaged or singed:

• They cannot be repaired
• They must be removed and replaced
• A professional fill is required to restore your lash line

Final Advice

Heat and lashes don’t mix. Whether it's summer pool days, grills, hair dryers, or long drives in desert sun—protect your investment by:

• Avoiding high heat exposure
• Wearing a hat or try large UV-blocking sunglasses
• Skipping hot tools near your lashes
• Using lash-safe, hydrating cleansers to maintain adhesive flexibility
