How many lashes fall out after extensions?

Number of eyelash extensions that fall out per day On average, between 1 and 5 natural lashes are lost per day. This means that if the eyelash extensions are attached to the natural lashes, that is the number of eyelashes that will fall out. Eyelash extensions are placed in a way that allows the natural cycle to continue as usual. This means that natural lashes will peel off with their extension as they adhere.

Therefore, the detachment of eyelash extensions reflects the natural detachment of the eyelashes. In other words, if you normally lose 2 to 5 lashes per day, you're likely to lose about the same number of eyelash extensions per day. Full growth can take a few weeks, so eyelash extensions usually last between 2 and 4 weeks. When the natural eyelash reaches maturity at the end of its growth cycle, the eyelash extension attached to it will also fall out.

Due to the natural fall of eyelashes on a daily basis, regular “refilling” or “retouching” is necessary to keep your eyelash extensions looking their best. How long eyelash extensions last depends on multiple factors, including how customers care for them. Stay calm and take a deep breath, as falling out eyelash extensions may not be a sign of pessimism. If an eyelash is torn off, it will eventually grow back; however, a few months may pass, especially if there has been a break in the growth cycle and the eyelash needs to return to the resting telogen phase.

Be sure to give detailed aftercare instructions, so that no one has to deal with eyelash extensions falling out prematurely. This is to maximize the lifespan of eyelash extensions and not damage young lashes that are just starting any cycle. There's a reason eyelash tape is on every eyelash professional's list of must-have eyelash extension tools. In addition, following the eyelash extension aftercare instructions provided is essential to ensure adequate retention.

When mascara is applied to eyelash extensions, the ingredients can compromise the adhesive and weaken the bond, causing the extensions to detach from the eyelashes and peel off.
