If your lash extensions aren’t lasting as long as you’d hoped, you might be surprised by some of the reasons why. Here are a few strange but significant factors that can affect eyelash extension retention:
Sleeping Positions: If you sleep on your stomach or side, your lashes may be pressed against your pillow, causing them to fall out prematurely. Try sleeping on your back to avoid this.
Natural Lash Shedding: Your natural lashes go through a growth cycle, shedding and regenerating. Extensions attached to lashes nearing the end of their cycle will fall out sooner.
Oily Skin: Excess oil production can weaken the adhesive bond. Using oil-free skincare products around your eyes can help maintain the extensions.
Touching and Rubbing: Frequently touching, rubbing, or pulling at your lashes can cause them to come loose. Be gentle and avoid unnecessary contact.
Improper Aftercare: Not following proper aftercare instructions, such as avoiding water, steam, and oily products for the first 24-48 hours, can compromise the adhesive bond.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations due to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or medications can affect the health and strength of your natural lashes, impacting the retention of extensions.
