What factors affect the lifespan of eyelash extensions?

The main factors influencing retention time are the individual's natural lash growth cycle, the use of oil-based products which break down the adhesive, exposure to excessive heat and humidity, and the adherence to professional aftercare instructions (such as avoiding rubbing and daily cleansing).

How often should I get a fill for my eyelash extensions?

To keep a consistently full look, it is highly recommended to get a fill every 2 to 3 weeks. Waiting longer than 3 weeks often results in needing a full new set rather than a quick fill.

Q: How long do eyelash extensions last on average?

Eyelash extensions last an average of 4 to 6 weeks. However, because your natural lashes go through a constant shedding cycle, clients typically need to schedule fills (touch-ups) every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain a full and consistent appearance.

🕒 Average Lifespan: 4–6 Weeks

According to lash experts, eyelash extensions typically last four to six weeks depending on:

Your natural lash growth cycle
Oil production and skin type
Aftercare habits (no rubbing, oil-free products)
Extension type (classic, hybrid, volume)

As your natural lashes shed, the extensions fall out with them. To maintain a full look, most clients schedule refills every 2–3 weeks.
