Wondering why your lash extensions keep falling out? It’s a common question with several possible answers. With a few small adjustments to your routine, you can keep your lashes looking full and fabulous for longer. Here are the top reasons lash extensions fall out and tips to improve your retention.
1. Improper Aftercare
Following the right aftercare is crucial for lash retention. Avoid getting lashes wet in the first 24 hours to let the adhesive set, and keep up a gentle routine afterward. Proper aftercare will help you avoid premature fallout and keep your lashes in place longer.
2. Using Oil-Based Products
Oils are one of the most common reasons for lash extensions falling out. They weaken the adhesive bond, causing premature lash shedding. Make sure your skincare and makeup around the eyes are oil-free.
3. Poor Lash Cleansing Routine
Buildup around your lashes can weaken the adhesive bond and cause fallout. Using a lash-safe cleanser and our gentle lash cleansing brush
3-4 times a week helps keep lashes fresh and long-lasting.
4. Natural Lash Shedding Cycle
Lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes, which naturally shed over time. To keep lashes looking full, schedule regular fills every 2-3 weeks.
5. Sleeping Position
Pressing your lashes against a pillow while sleeping can cause them to shed faster. Try sleeping on your back, or use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
• Q: How often should I clean my lash extensions?
We recommend cleaning lash extensions 3-4 times a week with a lash-safe cleanser to prevent buildup and extend retention.
• Q: What should I avoid after getting lash extensions?
Avoid oil-based products, don’t touch or pull on your lashes, and avoid getting them wet for the first 24 hours.
• Q: Can I wear mascara on lash extensions?
No, we do not recommend wearing mascara on lash extensions. It can damage the adhesive bond and lead to early shedding.
• Q: Can I go in sunbeds or be around high heat with lash extensions?
It’s best to avoid excessive heat, like sunbeds, saunas, or steam rooms, as high temperatures can weaken the adhesive bond and cause lashes to fall out sooner.”
