What is an eyelash extension?
Eyelash extensions are applied by a technician who specializes in false eyelashes: they are glued one by one along existing lashes. Made of silk or synthetic material, they can be of different lengths and colors, depending on your natural skin tone. Eyelash extensions are one of the most popular beauty treatments, because they make your face look bigger and more beautiful, even without make-up!
What to do when eyelash extensions fall out?
First of all, it's normal for eyelash extensions to fall out, since natural eyelashes continue to grow back. Eyelash extensions can also fall out with inappropriate beauty care. However, there are a number of tricks you can use to delay the loss of extensions and prolong their life.
If you notice that your extensions are falling out prematurely, don't hesitate to ask your technician for advice about a touch-up.
Avoid wearing mascara
When you have eyelash extensions, there's no point wearing mascara, which tends to overload the lashes and damage them. It's also difficult to remove them without breaking them.
Avoid contact with water and humidity for 48 hours.
After installation, it's important to keep your extensions dry to prevent them from falling out too quickly.
Use the right care products
Taking care of your extensions is important! We recommend using an eyelash brush to gently brush them. You'll also need to clean them with a mild, oil-free natural soap (the latter can tend to loosen the extensions).
What to do about brittle eyelashes after an extension?
Eyelash extensions tend to weaken natural lashes. Once removed, the lashes are dry, brittle and very thin. The lash growth cycle lasts 30 to 45 days. Then, growth stops and the lashes fall off for 2 to 3 weeks. This is followed by a resting phase, during which the lashes fall out, before starting a new growth phase.
If your eyelashes fall out after an extension, or if they're brittle and fragile, it's important to find the right beauty care products to repair them in depth. Here's our advice and our reviews for optimal lash health.
