How Long Do Lash Extensions Last?

The Natural Lash Cycle

Lash extensions are applied directly to your natural lashes, which means they shed along with your natural growth cycle. On average, a natural lash will last 6–8 weeks, but since each lash is at a different stage in its cycle, you’ll notice gradual shedding over time.

Fill Appointments

To maintain fullness, most clients schedule fills every 1, 2, or 3 weeks. Waiting longer than 4 weeks often means too many extensions have shed, and a new full set may be required instead of a fill. As a rule of thumb, you must have at least 40–50% of your extensions remaining for the service to be considered a fill.

•        Fill appointments can take 45–60 minutes to complete

•        A Full Set can be anywhere between 2–3 hours to complete.

        

Factors That Affect Retention

Several factors influence how long lash extensions last:

Lash Hygiene – Keeping lashes clean which helps them last longer. Products Used – Oil-based skincare and makeup can break down adhesive and shorten retention. Personal Preference – Some clients choose fills more frequently to maintain a consistently full look.

With proper aftercare and regular fills, lash extensions can look beautiful and full for weeks at a time. Whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a bold, dramatic look, scheduling your fills consistently will help keep your lashes looking their best.
