Eyelash falling is not a reason for concern when they aren’t falling in excess. The lash natural regeneration process takes place even when you’re wearing extensions, which is why it’s required to you a touch up appointment. Still, there are other causes when it comes to this. In this article we will show you what answers and advice you can give your clients. 

 

Why do lashes fall?

 

Besides the aesthetic role that lashes have in our life, they are also important to protect the eyes from various impurities found in the atmosphere. Also, it’s important that we properly take care of them and we take measures when we notice some sudden deterioration. An important thing to keep in mind is the fact that applying lash extensions is not a damaging process, but the health of the natural hairs depend very much on the way in which the clients care for them.

 

Here are some of the most common reasons for lashes falling:

 

  1. 1.    Excessive makeup

 

Even if you like to wear makeup daily, the quality of the cosmetics that you use is essential in order to maintain the health of the natural lashes. Especially when talking about mascara, the waterproof models are generally damaging to the natural hairs. Another thing to keep in mind is the daily and thorough removal of makeup.

If you have lash extensions hair by hair, don’t ever use makeup removal products that contain oil. This ingredient will melt the lash glue and through rubbing, can lead to the damaging of the natural hairs. Also, avoid using curlers at any cost. They thin the natural hairs and your lashes will be damaged. 

 

  1. 2.    Allergies and rashes

 

Even if we’re talking about a makeup allergy, or to pollen or other elements from the environment, your eyes will most likely suffer. The mascara type which you’re using it’s important and in this case, so make sure that you don’t cause yourself unwanted reactions and stop using it if you start noticing these kinds of symptoms.

Moreover, if it’s happened that the makeup or any other impurity has entered your eye, don’t try to take it out with your dirty hands and don’t rub the eye under any circumstance. Your natural lashes need a good hygiene to be able to regenerate, so keep this area as clean as possible. 

 

  1. 3.    Stress

 

Certainly stress is an important factor when it comes to the excessive falling of the natural lashes. A busy lifestyle, with no breaks, will certainly affect the health of your hairs, even those on your face.

It’s not uncommon that the natural eyelashes feel the emotional and psychological weight that you carry with you every day, so the only remedy in this case is to make some time for relaxation.

 

  1. 4.    Unhealthy diet

 

When your body isn’t getting the nutrients that it needs, you will feel the effects in every aspect of your life. The hair’s natural growth is also inhibited and this can also lead to the lashes falling off. Make sure that your daily diet contains foods which are rich in Vitamin A, B and E, but also contain high quality proteins and minerals such as iron and magnesium.

Any nutritional deficiencies can affect way more than the health of your lashes, so treat this subject really seriously. 

 

  1. 5.    Hormonal changes

 

If you are wearing lash extension, the fact that your lash artist is using the best quality tools and that their technique is impeccable become irrelevant when there are hormonal changes within your body. When you’re in that time of your life, it’s recommended to first talk to a specialist, which will give you the necessary treatment that your body requires.

Thus, you risk losing your natural lashes without being able to identify the reason from the start. The teenage years and pregnancies can cause the largest hormonal unbalances in our body, so take care of your health first and foremost.  

 

  1. 6.    Certain illnesses in your body

 

Most common here are chronic blepharitis and conjunctivitis. If you are suffering from these ophthalmological conditions, treat them before scheduling an appointment for applying lash extensions. The two cause the repeated swelling of the eyelids and causes itching sensations around the eyes. Your lashes will suffer during the recovery process.

Also, certain dermatological diseases like psoriasis and rosacea can cause itching, which can lead to excessive eye scratching. Because of these constant interventions, the natural lashes can be fewer and fewer.

Lastly, the lash falling can be caused by using certain drugs like those for treating any cardiovascular illnesses or for acne.

 

Remedies for falling lashes

 

Among the most popular remedies that help regenerate the natural lashes are using ricin oil before bed, for at least 10 days. Use a special brush and apply the oil on the entire lash surface, after removing your makeup. You can also use olive oil in the same manner.

Still, the best remedy is identifying the exact causes for why your lashes tend to excessively fall and treating these symptoms. A healthy and active lifestyle and maintaining a balanced diet are the most useful things when it comes to the health of your lashes.
