How Long Do Lash Extensions Last? Tips to Maximize Retention

How Long Should Lash Extensions Last?
Lash extensions typically last 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the style, your natural lash cycle, and aftercare. Here’s the breakdown:- Classic Lashes: 2–3 weeks with fills.
- Hybrid Lashes: 3–4 weeks with proper care.
- Volume Lashes: 4–5 weeks with consistent fills.
- Mega Volume Lashes: 4–6 weeks with expert aftercare.
What Affects Retention?
Your lifestyle, skincare routine, and fill schedule play a big role. Let’s dive into why.Understanding Your Lash Growth Cycle
Your natural lashes shed every 4–8 weeks as part of their growth cycle. Since extensions are glued to these lashes, they fall out as your natural lashes do.How Does This Impact Extensions?
You’ll lose a few extensions daily, but regular fills (every 2–3 weeks) keep your set looking full. Skipping fills can lead to gaps.Pro Tip
