When removing eyelash extensions, using an oil can be a good way to loosen the glue that holds them on. However, this method can cause damage to your natural lashes if you do it incorrectly. Luckily, there are a few different options to choose from, including coconut, olive, castor, and vegetable oil.
Using coconut oil is a great way to break down the glue that holds your extensions in place. However, this method can take several sessions, and you’ll have to be careful with how you use the oil. It’s important to avoid touching your eyes and your hands while you are removing your lash extensions. Also, you shouldn’t let your lashes fall off too fast.
For the best results, it’s recommended that you remove your lash extensions with a professional removal kit. This is because it will help you get the job done in less time and will ensure that you don’t cause any permanent damage to your lashes.

You’ll need a cotton swab and some oil. The swab should be coated with the oil so that it will be easy to apply to your lashes. Start with one eye, then slowly run the swab along the lash line. Continue moving the swab slowly along the lash line until all of the extensions have fallen off. After that, you should wash your hands and your eyes with a gentle oil-free cleanser.
You should also be careful to use the proper temperature of the oil you’re using. Oils that are too warm can cause irritation, so you’ll want to start with a mild warmth.
Castor oil and olive oil are both great options for removing lash extensions. Both oils work well, and both are safe to use around your eyes. Olive oil is a little faster, but you may have to do a few sessions with castor oil before it removes the adhesive completely.
Coconut oil is another great option to remove your lashes. While it doesn’t work as quickly as olive oil, it’s still effective and safe to use. Since the oil has been able to break down the adhesive, it will leave your lashes looking more natural.

If you don’t feel confident that you can remove your lashes on your own, you can always bring in a friend or family member to do it for you. Be sure to check with the salon before hiring someone to do it for you. They should know the best techniques to use and should be able to recommend the right products for you.
In addition to the above methods, you can also try using baking soda or apple cider vinegar to loosen the adhesive. The rubbing motion should be gently applied and left for a few minutes. Once the adhesive has been broken down, your lashes should slide off easily.
Lastly, you can even use your spoolie to rub the lashes. You can do this during your evening skincare routine. Alternatively, you can apply a thin layer of olive or coconut oil to your spoolie before rubbing it across your lashes.
