Eyelash regeneration after extensions: what you should know

 

Just as with any other physical procedure that women are doing, lash extensions present multiple advantages as well as disadvantages. One of the risks which you’re undergoing when choosing to apply hair by hair lashes is the damaging in time of the natural lashes. Find out more how it can come to this and what you can do to help them regenerate. 

 

What happens to the natural lashes when wearing extensions

 

When you decide to undergo hair by hair lash extensions, they will be manually glued on top of your natural lashes. The advantage for this process is the fact that extensions can be adjusted depending on the client’s preferences with regards to the type and size of lashes to be used. Together with the lash artist, you can choose from the start the most suitable type based on your face shape, because there is the possibility that some lashes will look more natural or more outlandish.

Even when you don’t do this procedure, your natural lashes are in a continual state of regeneration which means that some hairs fall off and new ones grow in their place. When you’re wearing extensions, the hairs attached by your lash artist will fall together with the natural hairs. As long as you follow the correct caring steps, the hair by hair extensions should be able to last for a month, after which you may need to do a touchup appointment/fills.

The risk that appears when you choose to have extensions constantly is the breaking and falling of the natural lashes due to the weight placed over them by the extensions. In time, their damage is imminent because the natural lashes are in a continual state of regeneration and the extensions will move further and further away from the hair’s root. 

How long does it take for the natural lashes to regenerate

 

There are multiple factors that can contribute to damage to the natural lashes after the process of applying hair by hair extensions. Most of the times, the inexperienced lash artists apply too much weight on the natural lashes, which leads to them tearing off quicker. Another factor is the so and so care, or rubbing along the eyes or exposure to water after too short a time after application.

Generally, even by taking these factors into consideration, the natural lashes regenerate in a timeframe between 1 and 3 months. It’s possible that some people have a much quicker lash regeneration process than others, which then leads to an earlier damaging. The good news is that, in a longer or shorter timeframe, your lashes will naturally regenerate as long as you give them the proper care.

What can you do for a quicker regeneration

 

There are still a couple lotions which you can use for a quicker regeneration of the natural lashes. Firstly, it’s important to take into account the care instructions given by the lash artist after application. Avoid water in the first 2 days after attaching the extensions, don’t use care products that contain oil around the eyes because it may lead to the glue dissolving or it can even cause rashes. Moreover, don’t use mascara and don’t use any tools to curve the lashes.

You can keep the health of your natural lashes by choosing different ways to protect them. On the market right now, there are certain products that can be used when wearing the hair by hair extensions.

You also have to take into account the fact that applying the lash extensions will not permanently affect the natural lashes regeneration cycle, it will only shorten it depending on the method that was used during application and the type of fake lashes that were used.
