Eyelash extension fill is unique to each client as our lashes all have different growth cycle and how well we care for our lashes at home. Expect between 2 – 3 weeks before you need an infill. On average, our clients come back every 3 weeks. Extension sets that consist of more lashes (hybrid and volume) will usually last longer than those with less. Shorter lashes usually last longer too.
Help!!! Why are my lashes are falling out?
It’s normal lose a couple of lashes every day (1-5). Don’t be alarmed if you notice them from time to time (as they are much larger than your natural lashes). The extension falls out attached to the natural lash when it is ready to come out, and a new baby lash takes its place. Some days you won’t lose any, other days you might lose 3 or 4. It’s completely normal and does not mean your eyelashes are all going to fall out!
