How long do lash extensions last?
In short: with proper care a set stays beautiful for up to 3–4 weeks, and refills are best planned every 2–4 weeks. How long they last for you depends on several things – here they are.
Why does the set thin out over time?
Each extension is attached to one of your natural lashes. Your natural lashes shed continuously, and when one falls out, its extension goes with it. So it is completely normal for a set to thin out gradually over a few weeks – it is not a bonding fault. During a refill I remove the grown-out extensions and fill the gaps.
What affects retention?
- Cleansing: the most important rule for long-lasting lashes is regular cleansing with lash shampoo twice a day.
- The first 48 hours: keep your lashes away from water, steam, humidity and sunbeds.
- Watery eyes: tears can break down the adhesive, so lashes last less if your eyes water a lot.
- Sport and sweat: salts in sweat can dissolve the adhesive.
- Health: hormonal changes, medication or hormone treatments, allergies or inflammatory conditions can change your skin’s pH and affect retention.
- Oily products: oily or greasy creams and waterproof make-up weaken the bond.
- Overly long lashes: length doesn’t make lashes last. An extension can be at most about 30% longer than your natural lash.
When do I need a refill?
You can choose from three refill intervals. The sooner you come, the less there is to fill and the lower the price:
| Interval | Period | 1-2D refill | 3D refill | 4D refill | 5-6D refill |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks | day 1–14 | 14,000 HUF | 15,000 HUF | 16,500 HUF | 18,500 HUF |
| 3 weeks | day 14–21 | 15,000 HUF | 16,000 HUF | 17,500 HUF | 19,000 HUF |
| 4 weeks | day 21–28 | 17,000 HUF | 18,000 HUF | 19,500 HUF | 21,000 HUF |
Refills are possible until day 28, and only if at least 30% of the extensions remain after preparation. Otherwise the price of a new set applies.
How to keep your lashes beautiful for longer
- Cleanse your lashes with lash shampoo morning and evening, and always remove make-up from your lower lashes too.
- Comb them daily, dry, with the brush I give you.
- Don’t rub, pick at or pull your lashes.
- Don’t use mascara, waterproof make-up or eyeliner.
- Apply anti-wrinkle cream only up to the mobile eyelid and blot off the excess.
