So I’ve had false eyelashes applied at the beauty salon for years.
I love them, they open up my little eyes so much, and hide my drooping upper eye lids.
However, I’ve always struggled when trying to wash my hair in the shower, if they get wet they don’t last as long.
I’ve searched for a solution for SO LONG, tried the stick on plastic visors, tried to wash my hair over the sink, nothing has ever worked.
Then yesterday I had a brainwave, and bought a kid’s adjustable shower visor.
Had a shower earlier to test it out…OMG!
It worked! Not a drop of water on my face!!!
I understand this will only be of interest to those of you that have fake lashes, but I just HAD to share!!!
AIBU to say this will change my life?!?!?

Might I add wearing swimming goggles whilst cutting onions to the list of life-changing ‘hacks’! I’ve always been really sensitive to onions (my eyes start burning and streaming after the first chop!) but never had a problem since I decided to try using goggles 🥽

See I’ve even tried wearing goggles in the shower, but not all my hair is washed then (long hair)
I use a veg chopper for onions, done in a flash!

I wonder if goggles, like the big ones tradesmen use, not swimming as presumably they’d be too close to the eye, would work? I quite fancy having them done, I really should find somewhere that does them

I don't even wear normal mascara, let alone fake eyelashes, but I am delighted for you! It's such a great feeling when you find the perfect solution to a niggling problem. Enjoy your dry face & long lasting lashes

As I said in my post, I do understand this will only be of interest to those that wear false lashes…

I have eyelash extensions and I don't have any issue with them not lasting of they get wet. Are you waiting 24 hours before you get them wet?

Yes, unfortunately I’m allergic to the stronger glue so I have to have them applied with the weaker stuff!

does it really make a difference to saggy upper lids? If so then I will get them done and buy a kids shower visor!!! Thanks!

A HUGE difference!!!

Do you struggle with basic comprehension? Because the OP described it quite clearly.
