How often to refill false eyelashes?

Eyelash extension treatment is an increasingly popular way to enhance the look. When a client decides to have this treatment, the question immediately arises as to when the styling should be replenished. The length of time for which eyelash extensions maintain a nice appearance depends on many factors. The aesthetic appearance of the styling lasts for about 2-4 weeks. What about after that time? Find out how quickly artificial eyelashes fall out and when to make an appointment for replenishment.

Why is it important to replenish artificial eyelashes regularly?

Natural eyelashes grow every day. This is the primary reason why you should make sure they are replenished regularly. When a natural lash grows, it causes unsightly and troublesome regrowth. From an aesthetic point of view, an eyelash that grows back excessively will give a signal that the lashes are too long and ill-fitting. From the point of view of convenience, synthetic eyelashes that grow back excessively will be cumbersome to place and may cause discomfort and pain. Now that we know that it's a good idea to replenish eyelashes on a regular basis, what time would be appropriate?

Up to two weeks, our eyelashes look very good. After two weeks, a significant portion, about 20-25%, will fall out. And another 20-25% will outgrow to a safe limit. About 75% of the eyelash extensions will remain on the eyes, of which 20-25% will already be suitable for replacement. After three weeks, another 10% will fall out. After four weeks, we will have a maximum of 50% of the eyelashes on the eyes, some of which will need refreshing due to too much distance from the eyelid. Therefore, we try not to exceed four weeks.

Stylists usually individually recommend the exact time of replenishment, which depends on the client's predisposition.

Artificial eyelashes - how long do the effects last?

Eyelash replenishment treatment is recommended to be performed once every 3 weeks. This is the optimal time to replenish the application. It is always worth thinking about eyelash extensions when the application becomes less pronounced and the client decides to paint her eyelashes due to less volume. Sometimes, however, a client needs a touch-up after just 4 weeks, and other times only after 2 weeks. Why does this happen? It mainly depends on the hair growth phase at the time of application. There are three phases of hair growth: anagen, catagen, telogen. Each lash at the time of application is in a different growth phase and grows at a different speed. In addition, the length of each client's lash replacement cycle is at a different rate. Therefore, some clients need a touch-up after three weeks, and others after four - and this is completely normal.

Factors that can further affect the longevity of the application and the need for more frequent eyelash replenishment are: mainly disorders in three systems - metabolic, hormonal and neurological. For example, our diet, mental state, or menstrual problems can affect lash retention.

Topping up false eyelashes in a beauty salon - how long does it take?

The procedure for replenishing eyelashes that have already fallen out looks similar to the procedure for a new application. All you have to do is lie on a recliner with your eyes closed and wait for the eyelashes to be replenished using the method of your choice.

The eyelash replenishment procedure takes an average of 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how many lashes need to be replenished. During the procedure, the stylist takes care of removing the roots, and replenishing the areas where she sees gaps, so that 100% of the natural lashes are extended. During the procedure, the specialist in this field should use disinfected tools, such as tweezers, and disposable items, such as for protecting the eyes and lower eyelid.

How much does an artificial eyelash restoration procedure cost at a stylist?

The price of eyelash replenishment is individual and varies in terms of the time elapsed since the new application as well as the city of the service. Usually the price of eyelash replenishment should be about 10-15% less than a new application.

In summary, it is very important to make an appointment with an eyelash stylist for a follow-up treatment. If you decide not to go ahead and get a touch-up, it's worth asking the professional to pull off the rest of the lashes. After four weeks, go to the stylist and ask for a photo. Of course, I recommend eyelash extensions for a non-fading flirtatious eye effect. With eyelash extensions, is it necessary to take breaks? Of course not, if the treatment is carried out by a professional who knows very well how to take care of the hygiene of the eye. You don't have to take off the eyelash extensions.
