Introduction
Lash clusters are a game-changer in the world of DIY lash extensions. They offer volume, definition, and a salon-quality look—all from the comfort of home. But as summer arrives and water activities become part of our daily routines, many beauty lovers ask the same important question: Can you swim with lash clusters?
The short answer is yes, but it depends on the type of lash clusters you use, the adhesive you choose, and how you care for them before and after swimming.
What Are Lash Clusters?
Lash clusters are small fans of lashes grouped together and applied to the natural lash line, typically using a semi-permanent lash bond. Unlike strip lashes, lash clusters are more flexible and offer a more natural and lightweight feel. Fadlash lash clusters are specially designed for easy application and long-lasting wear—perfect for both beginners and pros.
How to Make Lash Clusters Last Longer Near Water
If you're planning to swim with lash clusters, follow these tips to make them last:
1. Use Waterproof Lash Bond
Choose a lash adhesive formulated for long wear and water resistance. At Fadlash, our Long-Lasting Lash Bond and Seal is designed to help clusters stay in place, even in humid and moist environments.
2. Apply Lash Sealant
A lash sealant acts as a protective barrier over the lash bond. Apply a thin layer after your lash clusters are set. This helps resist water, sweat, and oil.
3. Wait 24 Hours Before Swimming
Give the glue time to fully cure. Swimming too soon will weaken the bond and reduce retention.
4. Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes
After swimming, pat around your eyes gently with a soft towel. Rubbing can loosen the clusters or cause them to fall off entirely.
Step-by-Step Guide to Swimming With Lash Clusters
1. Pre-Swim Prep
Clean & Dry Lids: Remove oils with an oil-free makeup remover to ensure maximum adhesive bond strength.
Apply Waterproof Adhesive: Let the glue dry for 30–60 seconds until tacky. For extended wear, layer a waterproof sealant.
2. Protect Lashes in Water
Rinse Post-Swim: Chlorine and saltwater can degrade adhesive over time. Rinse your face with fresh water and pat dry gently.
Avoid Friction: Skip vigorous towel rubbing—blot instead to prevent clusters from lifting.
3. Post-Swim Care
Gentle Removal: Use oil-free micellar water or a specialized remover like Fadlash Glue Remover to dissolve glue without damaging natural lashes.
Clean & Reuse: Wash clusters with mild soap and air-dry for future wears.
FAQs
Q: How long do lash clusters last after swimming?
A: With proper care, they can stay flawless for 3–5 days. Replace if lifting occurs.
Q: Can saltwater damage lash clusters?
A: Saltwater may cause slight adhesive weakening. Rinse lashes post-swim and avoid prolonged exposure.
Q: Are magnetic lashes swim-proof?
A: No—stick to glue-on clusters. Magnets rust and slide off in water.
Conclusion
Swimming with lash clusters is totally achievable with a waterproof adhesive, sealant, and smart aftercare, your lash clusters can hold up through a day of light swimming. Just don’t forget: lashes love attention, and they don’t enjoy being soaked for too long.
