If you’ve fallen in love with your lash extensions (and honestly, who wouldn’t?), you’ve probably noticed something — after a couple of weeks, they don’t look quite as full as the day you walked out of the salon. That’s totally normal!
Your natural lashes have their own growth cycle, and as they shed, your extensions shed with them. That’s why regular lash refills are the secret to keeping your set looking fresh, fluffy, and fabulous — without having to start from scratch.
Why Do You Refill Your Lashes?
Let’s say! Is a Big Deal!
Think of refills like a beauty insurance policy. You’re not just maintaining your look — you’re:
Saving money — refills cost less and take less time than a full set.
Protecting lash health — we remove grown-out extensions and replace them so your natural lashes aren’t under unnecessary stress.
Always looking photo-ready — no awkward “half-set” phase, just gorgeous lashes every single day.
Cutting down your morning routine — you’ll wake up ready to go, no mascara needed.
So, How Often Should You Refill Your Lashes?
Most of our clients come in every 2–3 weeks for a refill. That’s the sweet spot to keep them full and even, without gaps. But timing can vary depending on a few factors:
1. Your Natural Lash Growth Cycle
Your lashes naturally shed and regrow in a cycle that lasts about 6–8 weeks. Extensions are bonded to individual natural lashes, so when one sheds, its extension goes with it.
2. Your Aftercare Routine
A little TLC makes a huge difference:
Use our professional Lash Bubbles cleanser to keep lashes clean without breaking down the adhesive.
Avoid rubbing, pulling, or twisting your lashes.
Try to sleep on your back to minimize friction and tangling.
3. Your Lifestyle
Your daily habits can affect lash retention:
Frequent swimming or sweaty workouts? Water, chlorine, and salt can weaken the adhesive.
Using heavy or oily eye makeup? It can cause your extensions to slip off sooner.
What Happens If You Wait Too Long to Refill Your Lashes?
Skip too many weeks of Refill Your Lashes and you’ll lose the even, fluffy look you love — your lashes might start looking sparse or patchy. At that point, you may need a full set instead of a quick refill. That means more time, more money, and going without your lashes for a few days.
✨ Pro Tip: Book your next Refill Your Lashes appointment before you leave the salon. That way, your lashes will always be on point — no last-minute rush, no awkward gaps.
