If you’ve ever noticed your lash extensions falling out with your natural lashes, you’re not alone! It’s a common experience that often causes concern. Many people fear they’re losing too many lashes or worry that their lash extensions might be causing damage. However, this is actually a misconception. In this blog post, we’ll explain why seeing lash extensions fall out with natural lashes is completely normal – and even a good sign!
The Natural Lash Shedding Cycle
Just like the hair on your head, your natural eyelashes go through a growth and shedding cycle. On average, a person sheds 3-5 lashes per eye each day. This process is part of your body’s natural renewal system, allowing old lashes to fall out and make room for fresh new ones. In fact, it’s perfectly normal to lose around 20% of your natural lashes every two weeks.
What Happens with Lash Extensions?
When you get lash extensions, each extension is carefully attached to an individual natural lash. Since these extensions are bonded to your natural lashes, they’ll fall out together during the shedding phase. So, if you see your extensions attached to natural lashes when they fall, it’s actually a positive sign! It shows that the adhesive held strong, and the extension lasted as long as your natural lash life cycle.
Why Seeing Extensions Fall Out is a Good Sign
While it might look a bit alarming to see your natural lash and extension falling out together, it’s actually a sign that the bond was secure and lasted well. When your extensions fall out with your natural lashes, it means they stayed attached until the very end of the lash’s life span. A well-applied lash extension should remain securely attached until the natural lash sheds, showing the strength of the adhesive and the skill of the application.
How to Keep Your Lashes Healthy
To keep your lashes healthy and looking great, follow these tips:
- Avoid touching or pulling on your lashes. This can disrupt the natural shedding cycle.
- Clean your lashes gently. Use a lash-friendly cleanser to keep the lash line clean without damaging the bond.
- Book regular fills. Lash fills every 2-3 weeks will help maintain your lash look as you naturally shed lashes.
- Avoid oily products around your eyes. Oil can weaken the adhesive, so choose oil-free products to protect your lash extensions.
Embrace the Cycle
The cycle of growth, shedding, and renewal is completely natural. Lash extensions simply highlight this process by making it more visible. So, next time you see a lash with an extension attached, remember that it’s all part of the natural cycle. It’s a sign of a secure bond, and your lash extensions are doing exactly what they’re supposed to!
