When it comes to investing in Eyelash Extensions, it’s natural to have some questions before booking an appointment. One of the most common concerns that my new clients in Regina express is about the longevity of Eyelash Extensions. To address this, I’m here to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision. So, let’s dive in and explore how long Eyelash Extensions typically last.

Introducing Lash Extensions

Lash extensions are a great way to enhance the beauty of your natural lashes. To achieve this, synthetic lashes are meticulously applied and bonded to each individual natural lash with a medical-grade adhesive.

My extensions come in a range of sizes, from a subtle 6mm to a glamorous 18mm, with various curls and weights.

I design or customize your Lash Extensions to suit your unique style.  Lash extensions have the transformative power to create a wider and more lifted appearance, leaving you with captivating and confident eyes.

With consistent at-home care and regular lash fills, you can enjoy eyelash extensions indefinitely.

Natural eyelashes grow and shed.

Did you know that natural eyelashes grow and shed? In fact, before getting eyelash extensions, you probably shed 1 to 5 natural lashes per day. Even with Eyelash Extensions, your natural lashes will continue to grow, move, and shed just like they should.

Seeing a fallen eyelash can be a bit unsettling. However, it’s important to remember that this is a completely normal process. Extensions should fall off with the natural lash they are attached to, assuring you that your extensions are applied properly.

How long do eyelash extensions last?

So, how long do eyelash extensions last? Well, typically they last up to about 6 to 8 weeks.

In a perfect world, our natural lashes would never shed and they would remain intact forever. Unfortunately, lash shedding is a natural process, so your extensions will fall out gradually as your natural lashes shed.  This timeframe is dependent on your natural lash cycle.

Since each natural lash is at a different stage in its growth cycle, your extensions won’t all fall out at once. Regular fills will help you maintain your look.

In the picture above you can see that each individual eyelash extension is attached to a natural eyelash.  The extension stays attached to your natural eyelash until it sheds. 

Premature Shedding

This is something we do not want to see,  Premature Shedding is when a Lash Extension falls with no natural lash attached.

How can I maintain the beauty of my eyelash extensions?

For long-lasting eyelashes, I recommend getting your lashes refreshed, touched up, or filled every 2-3 weeks.

During each fill, I will add new extensions, ensuring your lashes always look flawless. By staying consistent with these regular touch-ups, you can say goodbye to the need to invest in a full set of eyelashes again.

Why you need Eyelash Extension Fills 

Eyelash Extension Fill – Should You Opt for a 2 or 3 Week Fill?

Are you unsure if you should have your eyelash extensions filled at 2 or 3 weeks? This is a common question among my clients, and the answer depends on a few factors.

Firstly, consider the speed at which your natural eyelashes grow and shed. This plays a significant role in determining the ideal fill timeframe for you.

Secondly, take into account how well you care for your eyelash extensions at home. Proper maintenance and gentle handling can extend the duration between fills.

From my experience, the majority of my clients find that a 3-week fill works well. This is especially true for those with average lash growth and minimal eye makeup usage.

However, if your lashes tend to grow and shed quickly or if you regularly wear heavy eye makeup, you may want to consider coming in for a fill every 2 weeks.

Remember, the choice ultimately depends on your personal preferences and unique eyelash characteristics.
