How long do eyelash extension last?

Most people have this question before doing the eyelash extension. how long will it last?

The usual answer is: it depends.

The lifespan of each type of extension is about six to eight weeks. However, the actual retention time depends on the growth rate and lifespan of your natural lashes.

Because each lash extension is attached to a separate natural lash, it falls off when the natural lash falls. The lifespan of a natural lash can last from just two weeks to as long as eight weeks.

Eyelash Growth Cycle

Since the lifespan of eyelashes varies from hair to hair and their growth rate also varies, then, of course, eyelash extensions also fall out with them at very different times and not all at once.

Therefore, the solution to this situation is regular fills offered by eyelash salons.

The lifespan of your lashes also depends on how well you take care of them - both natural lashes and lash extensions. Fortunately, there are many methods to help you keep your natural lashes healthy and strong, and lash extensions firmly in place.

How many eyelash extensions fall out per day?

One to five lashes fall out a day, depending on the person, their age, health, lifestyle, and a thousand other factors. It is perfectly normal and occurs with or without eyelash extensions. Thus, about 20% of our lashes fall out every week.

The eyelash life cycle consists of three phases:

1) growth

2) rest

3) falling

All these phases last a total of 60 to 90 days, which is much faster than the other hairs on our heads - the hair, eyebrows, mustache, and beard - who then have them.

Before a single lash hair falls out, the new hair is already in the growth phase and replaces the last one. This process is endless, fading slowly only as of the person gets older or when bad habits damage the lashes.

Lash shedding season

Shedding of natural eyelashes

Like hair loss, eyelash loss is seasonal. Usually, we lose most hair in spring and autumn, so this time is called the "eyelash fall season."

There are several causes of seasonal hair loss. The two main ones are both related to hormones.

1) Sunlight. Even if you spend most of your time indoors, you get the most sunlight in spring and summer. It makes your body produce melatonin, which affects the levels of hormones in your scalp.

2) Testosterone levels are affected in spring and autumn. Although testosterone is commonly seen as a male hormone, it exists in both men and women and is known to cause hair loss.

Therefore, do not worry too much if you lose more lashes than usual in spring or autumn. The normal growth cycle will soon be restored.

Shedding of eyelash extensions

However, eyelash extensions can fall the most in summer and winter. In summer, it is caused by sweat, the amount of which increases due to the warm weather, and its moisture makes the lash adhesive soft.

However, the winter cold and dry air make the eyelash extensions brittle, and the lash glue may crumble.

In any case, try to avoid significant environmental changes, excessive moisture in the eye area, and extreme temperatures.

How to make the lash extension retention last longer?

Although you can't change the rate at which natural lashes fall out, you can do your best to keep your lash extensions on existing lashes as long as possible.

For the first 48 hours after applying the lashes, avoid contact with the water. Water and moisture, in general, significantly reduce the effectiveness of the lash glue, softening its consistency. Avoid sauna, swimming, washing your face with hot water.

Avoid oil-based cosmetics near the eyes and oil-based make-up removers.

Do not use an eyelash curler or other curling method. Your lash extensions and the glue that holds them in place are too delicate for that.

Brush your lashes every morning with a clean lash brush to keep them beautiful and well-groomed. Brush your natural lashes even if you don't have lash extensions installed.

Keep your lashes clean! They must be cleaned daily.

How to wash eyelash extensions

In addition to washing eyelash extensions to help prevent eye inflammation and other discomforts, a proper cleansing routine requires removing the grease that has accumulated on the lashes.

If you have oily skin or if you have worn makeup that contains oil, some of it will always store on your lashes.

However, if you do not clean your lashes regularly, this grease will stay there, gradually breaking down the lash glue. Oil is a dangerous enemy to any lash adhesive. So by washing your lashes, you extend the retention of the extensions.
