How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Really Last? Your Ultimate Guide to Lash Longevity with Lashes On Point
How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Really Last?
If you’re googling “How long do eyelash extensions last?” — you’re not alone. This is one of the most asked questions by both first-timers and seasoned lash lovers alike.
Let’s break it down, lash by lash.
🕒 The Average Lifespan of Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions typically last 4 to 6 weeks — but there's a catch. They're attached to your natural lashes, which follow a growth cycle of about 6–8 weeks. As your natural lashes shed, your extensions go with them. That's completely normal.
But that doesn't mean your lashes need to look gappy after week 3. This is where refills come in.
🔁 So, When Should I Get Refills?
We recommend booking a refill every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain that full, flawless look. Any longer, and you may need a full set again — especially if more than 50% of your lashes have shed.
👉 Pro tip: Regular refills = better retention + healthier lashes.
🌟 Want Your Lashes to Last Longer?
Here’s what we tell our Mill Park clients to do (and avoid) for maximum lash life:
✅ DO:
-
Use an oil-free cleanser daily (we include lash shampoo & brush in our aftercare kit!)
-
Gently brush your lashes every morning with a spoolie
-
Sleep on your back if possible
-
Book your refills before they start looking sparse
❌ DON’T:
-
Rub or pull at your lashes
-
Use oil-based products near your eyes
-
Skip your lash cleanses — buildup causes poor retention
-
Use waterproof mascara (just don’t do it)
