DIY Lash Extension Clusters Australia: 10+ Day Wear Guide | Meraki

The Meraki Guide · 7 Min Read

Lashes that last
ten days, not ten hours.

Glue-based lash clusters take a few extra minutes to apply, and give you back nearly two full weeks of wear. Here's how they work, what they cost, and how to choose from eight styles.

The Real Cost

Why 10+ days changes the maths.

Salon lashes

$2,750/yr
Meraki clusters

~$275/yr

Based on a fortnightly $160 salon fill versus reapplying Meraki clusters roughly every 10 to 14 days. Figures are illustrative and will vary based on your kit size and how often you'd otherwise book in.

How It Works

A little more time up front. Nearly two weeks back.

01

Prep your lashes

Cleanse and dry your natural lashes so the bond can grip properly.

02

Dip in lash bond

Apply a small amount of Meraki Lash Bond & Seal to the base of each cluster.

03

Place, one at a time

Attach each cluster to a single natural lash, working from the outer corner in.

04

Seal and wear

Let the bond set fully before getting them wet. Then wear for 10+ days.

Questions, Answered

How long do glue-based lash clusters last?

Applied correctly with lash bond, Meraki clusters wear for 10 or more days, closer to a professional lash extension timeline than a press-on lash.

Do glued lash clusters damage natural lashes?

Not when applied correctly. Each cluster should be bonded to a single natural lash rather than the skin or multiple lashes bundled together, so growth and shedding aren't disrupted.

What's the difference between glue clusters and press-on lashes?

Press-on lashes are a full band applied in one motion for quick, shorter wear. Glue clusters are applied lash by lash with bond, taking longer to apply but lasting significantly longer, up to 10 or more days.

Can I reuse lash clusters?

Clusters removed carefully with an oil-based remover can often be reused, though wear naturally shortens their lifespan with each use.

Which cluster style should I choose?

Softer, natural finishes suit Emme, Natarsha and Harper. For more definition and drama, Cali, Lila, Brooke, Katie and Indiana build in more length and density.
