Before getting eyelash extensions, it is only natural to wonder: how long will they last before falling out? Here is a little practical tip. 

As a reminder, eyelash extensions are synthetic fibers glued to your natural lashes to make them look fuller, longer, and more intense. Performed in a salon, this treatment replaces traditional false lashes, which can sometimes be difficult to apply, and is more sophisticated than a lash lift.

Eyelash extensions are a more long-lasting solution, as they are designed to last much longer and save you a lot of time during your morning beauty routine. This is unlike glued, magnetic, or magnetic false lashes, which only last for one day. This beauty treatment is also a great way to enhance your eyes, whether with Russian volume eyelash extensions (long lashes and mega volume) or classic extensions (a natural effect)... 

How long do eyelash extensions last on average? 

Every set of eyelash extensions is different depending on the person wearing and maintaining them. But generally speaking, when you get eyelash extensions, you do so with the intention of keeping them for a while. Given the price and the time required for application, it is fortunate that they do not fall out after the first week. Overall, eyelash extensions can last up to 3 weeks before the first synthetic lashes begin to fall out. The technician who applies them will always recommend returning at that point for a touch-up. Keep in mind that a touch-up will replace the missing lashes at a lower cost. If you wait until all the extensions have fallen out, you will have to pay for a full application again. If you are looking for a 24/7 false lash effect, it is best to take advantage of touch-up offers! 

Does the longevity of extensions depend on the application?

The lifespan of extensions can also depend on the application. This is why it is always best to make sure you have your lashes applied in a beauty salon that is recognized and renowned for the quality of its services. Let's not forget that the eyes are the most delicate organ in the human body. Eyelash extensions require the use of approved eyelash glue; if it is not approved, damage can occur... It is best to avoid taking risks. You can easily get an idea of a salon by checking the reviews posted on Interne; otherwise, in the salon, the practitioner should have a training certification diploma visible and displayed. Another little tip for a long-lasting application: choose eyelash extensions that suit your eye shape. 

What techniques are there to make your eyelash extensions last? 

Although you cannot make extensions last indefinitely, there are a few tips and techniques that allow them to last a (very) little longer to maintain those perfect doe eyes. Keep in mind that eyelash extensions are glued to your natural lashes, which have a life cycle and a regrowth cycle of about three months. When the natural lash that the extension is glued to falls out, the extension will naturally fall out too. You will therefore never be able to keep your eyelash extensions for more than three months (which is already a very long time). 

Tips for keeping them for as long as possible: 

Avoid applying mascara, even though it is still possible, it is best to do so occasionally (see: can you put mascara on eyelash extensions?) 

Washing your eyelash extensions may seem surprising, but it is one of the most important steps to ensure their longevity. How do you do it? Use a small, clean, slightly damp spoolie and gently pass it over the extensions after removing all traces of makeup. 

How to take care of your extensions?

Obviously, when you want something to last, you take care of it. The same goes for eyelash extensions. You should not think that once they are applied, you can leave them to their own devices without paying them any more attention. To keep them for as long as possible, you must pamper them, or at least take care of them.

How to make your extensions last:

- Gently brush your extensions with a clean spoolie morning and evening. This helps remove dust and other impurities that may have attached to them, which could cause them to fall out. Brushing also helps your lashes maintain a beautiful shape. 

- Wash your extensions. When you remove your makeup or wash your face, pay special attention to your eyelash extensions by gently washing them with soap. Be careful: never use oil on extensions, as you may lose them. 

- Avoid rubbing your eyes. Easier said than done, but you must avoid rubbing your eyes at all costs if you want to keep your extensions for as long as possible. Regardless of the type of extensions, they are not foolproof and can be pulled out with the slightest rubbing. If your sensitive eyes itch frequently, tap the area instead. 

Keep in mind that it is good to take breaks between eyelash extension applications; avoid having more than three in a row. In the meantime, give your natural lashes a chance to rest and regenerate properly. For a little boost, you can always apply a eyelash growth serum !
