The Truth About Lash Shedding: Why Infills Every 2–3 Weeks Matter

You’ve just given your client a flawless set of lashes—they’re obsessed. But fast forward two weeks, and the full, fluffy look starts to fade. Sound familiar? It’s not the retention—it’s the natural lash cycle doing its thing.

Let’s break it down:

👁 Lash Loss Happens Daily

Whether your client knows it or not, they’re losing 2–5 natural lashes every single day. And since extensions are bonded to those natural lashes, it means they’re falling out too.

✅ Week 1: ~20 lashes lost
✅ Week 2: ~40 lashes lost
✅ Week 3: ~60 lashes gone

That’s a lot of gaps—and a not-so-flawless finish.

💡 Regular Infills = Consistently Gorgeous Lashes

Infills every 2–3 weeks are essential to maintain the fullness, structure, and overall look of your lash sets. Skipping them doesn’t just affect the appearance—it can impact retention long-term.

📣 Salon Tip: Show, Don’t Just Tell

Using simple visuals (like this one!) during consults or in your aftercare cards helps clients understand why those “mini appointments” are actually major. Plus, it builds trust and positions you as the expert they rely on.
