Now that you have your beautiful extensions, you will need to follow some simple aftercare rules to keep them looking their best.

 

Remember, just like nails, your natural lashes grow, and this means that your set will start to look less full over the weeks. After 2 – 3 weeks you will require a maintenance appointment, if you wish to keep them looking their best. You will see your eyelash extensions naturally shedding daily, so do not be alarmed as this is perfectly normal. Your natural eyelashes do this every day, but you just cannot see them.

 

Clients returning for infill’s must return with at least 50% of their set remaining, otherwise this will be classed as a full set and the full set fee will apply. Clients that attempt to return for an infill outside of the designated infill timeframe set by their therapist, may be charged for a full set of eyelash extensions due to the additional work now required to rectify the set.

 

At an infill we remove extensions that have grown out and twisted, and replace those extensions that have naturally shed with your natural lashes.

 

Humans shed approximately 2-5 natural eyelashes per upper lid, per eye, per day (lets average this at 3 per day), and your therapist will apply approximately 100 extensions to the suitable natural lashes of each eye, therefore you will see the following general loss patterns:

 

After 7 days you will lose 21 extensions

After 14 days you will lose 42 extensions

After 21 days you will lose 63 extensions

Therefore after 3 weeks you may have lost over half your set.

 

NB: It is normal to lose up to 5 extensions per eye within the first 24 hours, do not worry.

 

Now you can see why your lashes, just like your nails, have to be maintained to keep them looking their best; because eyelashes grow and shed daily!
