Help! Why are my lash extensions falling out?Did you know that you naturally lose eyelashes every day?! đ˛ Donât fret, eyelashes grow and fall out in cycles, just like the rest of your hair. Every hair on your body follows a specific growth cycle, including eyelashes. Lash shedding is a natural and healthy part of the hair growth process and should not be cause for alarmâyes, even with lash extensions! Your eyelash hair is constantly growing and shedding. Lash hair grows in three stages:
Fortunately, your lashes arenât all on the same shedding cycleâthis means that *most* of the time, youâre unlikely to notice them shedding over time! BUT there ARE two lash shedding seasons when youâre more likely to lose lashes. If youâve ever noticed how your hair sheds more during certain seasons, youâre not alone! This is called âseasonal molting,â and itâs completely natural. When Are The Lash Shedding Seasons?There are two major shedding cycles associated with lash extensions: Fall and Spring. The biggest reason behind our lash shedding comes from the seasonal adjustments and the role it play on our bodies. As we all know, the Fall season brings about cooler temperatures. Naturally, cooler temps introduce drier climates. These drier results affect the hair on our bodies including our lashes. The powerhouse of nutrients (the sebaceous glands in the ocular muscles) become a bit more dehydrated causing a shrinkage of the gland. This effects the performance and retention for natural lashes. The natural lashes recognize the change and make the necessary adjustments after a shedding cycle of the weaker lashes. The same thing happens in the Spring season as the weather gets warmer. The glands expand in response to the warmer temps causing the weaker lashes to shed in preparation of the new season. Bet you never knew there was such thing as lash shedding seasons!

How Does Lash Shedding Impact Lash Extensions?To help you get the most out of your lash extensions, stylists at The Lash Lounge apply extensions to fully grown and healthy lashes that are firmly in place. When eyelashes are extended with quality, semi-permanent extensions (like we use at The Lash Lounge), it will be more noticeable when these lashes are shed. This is because theyâre longer and often darker than your natural lashes. But donât worry, lash extensions should only shed when your natural lash has reached the end of its cycle, so thereâs no damage to your natural lashes! Biweekly refills are designed, in part, to get ahead of the lash shedding cycle and ensure your lash line is always full and beautiful. How Do Lash Extensions Work?Even if you naturally lose some lash extensions as your lashes shed, no worries! Thatâs why The Lash Lounge offers lash fills. For a fill, your stylist will remove any overgrown extensions and replace lashes that have naturally shed. We want you to stay confident and looking your best long after your first full lash set. đ The Lash Lounge offers four lash extension application methods.

In other words, If you normally lose 2-5 lashes per day, you'll likely lose about the same amount of lash extensions per day. The entire growth can take a few weeks, which is why eyelash extensions can typically last roughly 2-4 weeks.
Is it normal for eyelash extensions to fall out the day after?If the adhesive sets before the extension attaches to the natural lash then there will be poor adhesion and the lash will eventually just pop off after a day or two. Most lash technicians monitor the humidity and have equipment to correct it, although sometimes it can very difficult to adjust.
How many lash extensions fall out in the first 24 hours?NB: It is normal to lose up to 5 extensions per eye within the first 24 hours, do not worry. Now you can see why your lashes, just like your nails, have to be maintained to keep them looking their best; because eyelashes grow and shed daily!
Why am I losing so many lash extensions?Natural lash shedding- Our eyelashes naturally shed. As eyelash extensions are attached to your natural eyelashes, it is normal for the extensions to fall out as the natural lashes replace themselves. Opt for the lighter and finer extensions as they will last longer than the thick and sturdy kinds.
