Why Your Lashes Shed (and What to Do About It)
Ever noticed a few lashes on your cheek or pillow and thought, “Oh no—am I losing them all?” The truth is, lash shedding is completely natural. Just like the hair on your head, your eyelashes follow a growth cycle—and shedding is simply part of the process.
The Lash Growth Cycle
Anagen (Growth Phase): Each lash grows for about 30–45 days.
Catagen (Transition Phase): Growth pauses and the follicle shrinks.
Telogen (Shedding Phase): The old lash falls out, making way for a fresh one.
Every lash is on its own schedule, which means losing 2–5 lashes a day is normal. With lash extensions, shedding can feel more dramatic because the extensions make each fallen lash more noticeable.
Why Shedding Happens
Your body is always renewing itself, and factors like seasons, hormones, stress, and even changes in humidity can influence how quickly your lashes move through their cycle.
What You Can Do About It
✨ Stay consistent with fills. Regular touch-ups keep your lash line looking full.
✨ Cleanse daily. A lash-safe cleanser helps prevent buildup that can weaken retention.
✨ Feed your lashes. Nutrients like biotin, omega-3s, and vitamin E support healthy growth.
✨ Be gentle. Avoid rubbing, tugging, or harsh makeup removers.
The Beauty of Renewal
Shedding isn’t loss—it’s growth in disguise. Every fallen lash is making space for a brand-new one. When you care for your lashes (and let your artist do the same), you’ll always cycle back to fullness and beauty.
