Step 2: Prepping Your Natural Lashes
Preparation is key to achieving long-lasting DIY lashes. Start by thoroughly cleaning your lashes with an oil-free cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup residue. ALWAYS start mascara free, no mascara on those natural lashes!!
If you’re starting your lashes and your makeup is already applied, no worries! Our Prep Pads are not meant to be used all around your eye. You’re using these only on your lashes to prime your natural lashes for application.
Step 3: Applying DIY Lash Extensions
Now that your lashes are prepped, it’s time to apply your at-home lash extensions. Follow these steps for a professional-looking finish:
-
Choose the Right Style: TAD offers a variety of lash lengths and styles, from Mini to Mega, to match your desired look.
-
Apply Adhesive: Apply a small amount of FOR YOU lash adhesive to the base of your natural lashes, then a small amount of FOR TAD at the base of your lash segment.
-
Place the Lashes: Using tweezers, place the lash segment at the base of your natural lash line, avoiding contact with your eyelid.
-
Press and Secure: Use the tweezer or Precision Press to press your natural lashes and extensions together for a seamless blend.

Step 4: Perfecting the Look
Once all lash segments are applied, we recommend looking at your lashes to make ensure even placement and you love they way they look. If any adjustments need to be made, you can still adjust the segments as long as you have not applied the Pristine Seal, the last step of the process! Use a lash tweezer or the Precision Press to press the lashes together gently for a cohesive look.

5. Are DIY lashes right for me? Here at TAD, we believe DIY lashes are an amazing option for everyone! Our CEO and founder, Michelle Nguyen, started wearing DIY lashes because she developed an allergy to professional lash extensions, but after she began wearing DIY lashes, she realized a separate benefit – “the nicest part of wearing DIY lashes for me, was getting out of the lash bed. Laying in a lash bed for a long time gave me so much anxiety. DIY lashes gave me the option of having good lashes that last, without having to spend time in the lash bed.”
