Can you wear strip eyelashes every day?

I recently had eyelash extensions done. I loved them nut I had been warned that they would ruins lashes. Well a lot of the lashes fell our with my own lashes. I removed what was left as I had big gaps. I am now left with not much of my own eyelashes. I have put individual cluster lashes on which last about a week but don't pull out your own lashes. I was thinking of putting strip lashes on as it is hard doing the individual ones on my self.
How do you clean strip lashes? Can you keep reusing them? I am going to get some eyelash growth serum to help them grow back.

Yes, I've done it for the past 5 years.

I use them 4/5 times or until they get 'gunky' from the glue then chuck them.

Don't use mascara on them & they'll last a lot longer.

Thanks Katespade. I will try them then. Do you need to clean them with anything?

I thought that if you got eyelash extensions done at a good place and looked after them properly they wouldn't ruin your eyelashes? Why don't you try speaking to some different salons to see if you can find a better place next time?

Thanks. I am a beauty therapist & had them done by a girl that's been doing them for years. I think maybe the glue weakens the lash at the root & makes the lash fall out. I don't usually notice losing my lashes this much but each extension came out with my own lash. I did all the correct aftercare. I had been warned that this could happen but I wanted to try them. There were hardly any lashes left to get infills.
Think I will just use growth serum & strip lashes until my own grow back.

No, I don't use mascara so no make-up remover is needed,

If any eye infections, which I've only ever had one, nothing to do with the lashes I chuck them & my mascara as you would.

Sally's often do 3 for 2 on a brand I've forgotten the name of & they are amazing!
Also I order some from eBay as 'back-up' lashes!
