Why Lash Infills Every 2-3 Weeks Are the Secret to Flawless, Long-Lasting Lashes

Let's be honest: nothing promotes confidence quite like waking up with flawless lashes. No mascara, strip lashes, or fuss—just you, looking effortlessly amazing. That is the wonder of eyelash extensions. But to keep that fresh, full appearance continuing, lash infills every 2 to 3 weeks are required. Here's why they're so vital and how to maintain your lashes looking full and beautiful. 

The Lash Life Cycle: What’s Really Happening

Your natural eyelashes have their own life cycle. On average, we lose 2 to 5 natural lashes per day—yes, every day. And because each lash extension is connected to a single natural lash, when the normal lash comes out, the extension does as well. It's quite natural, but over time, the shedding leaves holes in your lash line.

This is where the infills come in. Infills work similarly to lash refreshers, filling in the gaps left by shed extensions to keep your lashes appearing full, balanced, and gorgeous. 

Timing Is Everything: Why 2-3 Weeks?

You may ask why the magic number is every two to three weeks. So, after around two weeks:

• Natural shedding becomes noticeable, and you'll notice sparse areas.
• Your lash extensions may twist or grow out with your natural lashes, affecting their appearance and texture.
• Depending on your natural growth cycle and aftercare procedure, more than half of your lash extensions might have come out. 

At 2-3 weeks, your lash artist still has plenty of your initial set to work with, making the infill procedure faster, less expensive, and healthier for the health of your natural lashes. 

The Perks of Regular Infills

Aside from keeping your lashes on point, frequent infills have other benefits:

• Saves money - It is less expensive than purchasing a new set each time.
• Protects your natural lashes - Too long extensions might cause stress on your natural lashes. Infills assist to adjust and eliminate them.
• Less time in the chair - Infills are faster than beginning anew with a new set.
• You seem fresh all the time - because, let's be honest, bare areas can really throw off your entire attitude.

Pro Tip: Maximize Your Lash Investment

To get the most out of your lash extensions (and extend the duration between infills), be sure to:

• Cleanse your lashes lightly and often.
• Avoid using oil-based items near the eyes.
• Do not massage, tug, or sleep facedown.
• Brush your lashes everyday to maintain them clean. 

Lash extensions are a game changer, but proper upkeep is essential. Think of infills as your lash "touch-up" appointment—they keep your appearance constant, guarantee lash health, and save you time and money in the long term. So, if you want to retain your lovely, thick lashes, don't miss your 2-3 week infill. Your future self (along with your selfies) will thank you.
