DIY Lash Extensions at Home: Everything You Need to Know

Want salon-quality lashes without the cost, time, or appointments? DIY lash extensions are the perfect solution and with the right tools and technique, you can achieve stunning, natural-looking results from the comfort of your own home. 

At BYAMILONDON, we specialise in creating luxury, easy-to-apply lash kits designed for modern women who value both beauty and efficiency. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.

What Are DIY Lash Extensions?

DIY lash extensions are at-home alternatives to salon lashes, typically applied using lash clusters and a bond-and-seal system. They offer the same lifted, voluminous look but without the salon price tag or 2-hour appointment.

  • Lash clusters = small groups of individual lashes for easy customisation
  • Bond & seal = adhesive system that holds lashes in place for 10–12 days

Perfect for beginners, busy women, and lash lovers looking to take control of their beauty routine.

What You Need to Apply Lash Extensions at Home

Item Why You Need It

Cleansing Foam To prep your natural lashes and remove oils

💎 BYAMILONDON’s DIY Lash Kit includes everything you need for flawless application.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply DIY Lash Extensions

  1. Prep Your Natural Lashes
    Cleanse your lashes using the Lash Cleansing Foam or an oil-free cleanser. Ensure they're completely dry.
  2. Apply the Bond
    Lightly brush the bond onto the base of your natural lashes like mascara, but only at the roots.
  3. Place the Lash Clusters
    Use your applicator to place each cluster under your natural lash line, starting from the outer corner inward. Adjust placement to suit your eye shape (almond, round, hooded, etc.).
  4. Press + Fuse
    Gently press the clusters with the applicator tool to blend them into your lashes.
  5. Seal the Look
    Finish by brushing the seal over the lash line to lock in hold and prevent stickiness.

🔐 With the right care, BYAMILONDON clusters can last up to 12 days.

Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Results

  • Avoid oil-based makeup or removers near the eyes
  • Don’t sleep face-down — a silk pillowcase helps
  • Touch up with extra bond & seal if needed on Day 5
  • Store lashes in their tray to reuse them 2–3 times
