Before your lash appointment
Please come without make up to speed up the process. Overbuild-up mascara is hard to thoroughly cleaned, hence may cause poor retentions.
Something to keep in mind that hair appointment straight after your fresh lash extensions may cause some problem on the retentions. This is due to the high humidity and heat from the hair dryer and hair wash.

Shedding seasons (Telogen cycle)
The lifespan of our eyelashes is between 60 to 90 days. We normally lose about 1 to 5 eyelashes daily over a 2-week period. In spring and autumn, we shed more eyelashes than in summer or winter as our bodies prepare for temperature change. During this time, we also produce more oil to replenish our skin.
If you are experiencing this don’t panic. This is great news as it is the natural process of rejuvenating your hair growth.They continually grow, fall out, and regrow over the course of a lifetime.
Understanding this process and learning to adjust your lash extension routine can give you peace of mind, knowing that your eyelash loss isn’t anything to be worried about.
