WHEN IS LASH SHEDDING SEASON?
It’s offically Fall and a perfect time to talk about the dreaded Lash Shedding Season.
Of course we all know that the hair on our body goes through a cycle where it grows and then sheds. Did you know that Eyelashes Shed too?
We shed our human hair in preparation for changes in temperature or season changes (Spring and Fall)
It’s Temporary
With Spring and Fall the temperatures change and you may notice your eyelashes shedding at a faster rate.
Not everyone has a seasonal shed. If you have been experiencing a Season Shed, it is temporary. Generally after 6 weeks everything should go back to normal.
How Long Do Lash Extensions Last when it’s not a Season Shed?
How does it affect Lash Extensions?
A Lash Extension is placed onto a Natural Lash. So, when our natural lash sheds, the extension goes with the Natural Lash.
The number of lashes we shed is individual from person to person because we all have a different growth and shed cycle.
There is no doubt about it, Season Lash Shedding is more than annoying!!!
During this time, you will want to keep your regular lash fill appointments to help keep them looking full. Never hesitate to call me and book an earlier fill if a shed is severe and you are not liking how your lashes are looking.

“My lashes never fell out this much before I got lash extensions!”
They actually did, but before you had Eyelash Extensions, a “Shedding Season” really went unnoticed.
Natural lashes are finer than an Eyelash Extension, so we don’t really notice a natural lash laying around when it sheds.
When you have dark, fluffy, full lash extensions on natural lashes, it is more noticeable when a couple of them shed! If you are not aware of natural lash shedding, seeing fallen extensions can be very upsetting.
Never hesitate to call me and book an earlier fill if a shed is severe and you are not liking how your lashes are looking during a seasonal shed,
What can I do to stop Season Lash Shedding?
A seasonal shed is out of our control and affects everyone differently. You can’t slow down the natural lash cycle or prevent a Seasonal Lash Shed.
It is a natural process that is temporary.
If you experience a Seasonal Shed you might find changing your 3 week fill to a 2 week fill helpful in maintaining the fullness of your lash extensions.
