Lash Shedding

Why Do I Need to Come Back for Touch Up Appointments?

 

This is a question we hear quite often. Many people are under the impression that the lashes you currently have are permanent, thus the extensions we apply will be permanent. Unfortunately, that is not the case! Just like the hair on our heads, our eyelashes are constantly growing and going through a hair cycle. Each person has an average of 100 eyelashes per eye, which shed at an average rate of 3-5 per day! Because of this shedding each day, you lose the extensions that are attached to your natural lashes and they appear sparser as the weeks pass by.  As depicted in the graphic above, you will lose an average of 21 lashes in one week, 42 lashes in two weeks, and 63 lashes in three weeks! Because of this we recommend coming in for your touch up appointments every two to three weeks to keep your lashes looking full and fresh!
