How long will my lashes last?

¿Cuánto durarán mis pestañas?

Short Answer: Lash extensions last for the duration of your natural lash growth and shed cycle which is 2- 3 weeks ( like your nails )

Respuesta corta: las extensiones de pestañas duran la duración de su ciclo natural de crecimiento y desprendimiento de pestañas, que es de 2 a 3 semanas (como sus uñas)

Extended Answer : Each eye has 90-120 lashes that shed 2-3 lashes daily. ( This is normal without lash extensions on )

Respuesta extendida: cada ojo tiene 90-120 pestañas que arrojan 2-3 pestañas al día. (Esto es normal sin extensiones de pestañas activadas)

Natural lashes shed at a weekly rate on average:

  • Week 1 = 21 lashes ( Semana 1)

  • Week 2 = 42 lashes ( Semana 2)

  • Week 3 = 63 lashes ( Semana 3)

    This is why lash fill appointments are needed every 2-3 weeks.

    Es por eso que se necesitan citas para rellenar las pestañas cada 2-3 semanas

Do lash extensions harm my natural lashes?

¿Las extensiones de pestañas dañan mis pestañas naturales?

If applied correctly, the answer is NO. They simply shed off with your natural lash. Individual lash extensions are darker, longer, and thicker than a natural lash, thus creating the illusion that your actual lash appears this way. Your natural lash DOES NOT mirror the extension.

Si se aplica correctamente, la respuesta es NO. Simplemente se desprenden con tus pestañas naturales. Las extensiones de pestañas individuales son más oscuras, más largas y más gruesas que las pestañas naturales, creando así la ilusión de que su pestaña real aparece de esta manera. Su pestaña natural NO refleja la extensión.

As long as an artist applies extensions with skill, experience, and intentional care, natural lashes are not being harmed. Keep in mind that if your natural lashes are being harmed than you cannot come back and get extensions on, because the extensions have to sit on your natural lash.
