Why are My Eyelash Extensions Falling Out?

Just like your natural lashes, eyelash extensions gets to a point where they fall off. However, there are instances where eyelash extensions fall off before the date set for getting a refill. Here are some of the reasons why your eyelash extensions are falling out:
When Your Natural Lashes are Shedding
There comes a time when the natural lashes fall off to give room for new lashes to grow. Since the eyelash extensions are glued to the natural lashes, they will fall off if the lash they are glued on falls off.
This is a normal occurrence and nothing can be done to prevent this loss.
If Your Skin is Too Oily
Having very oily skin can be a problem when it comes to eyelash extensions as it will loosen up the glue used in sticking the eyelash extensions. If you are too oily, the lash extensions may not even stick properly.
There are multiple ways you can take reduce the amount of oil on your skin so that the lash glue can stick properly. There are beauty products that will help to control the amount of oil on your skin that will really help in this case.
Use of Waterproof Mascara
Waterproof mascara is very hard to remove and you have to scrub it really hard to get rid of it. In the process, the glue used in sticking the eyelash extensions will loosen, leading to the falling off of the natural lashes.
If you must use mascara, use water-based mascara and apply it from the middle of the lashes towards the tips. In doing this, you’ll not interfere with the lash glue when removing the mascara.
Bad Sleeping Habit
After an eyelash extensions application, you need to readjust your sleeping patterns. For instance, if you are used to sleeping on your stomach, you need to change so that you do not interfere with the lash extensions. You need to adopt a sleeping pattern where the lash extensions will not come into contact with the pillow.
Rubbing and Picking the Eyelash Extensions
Excessive rubbing and picking of your eyelash extensions will interfere with the glue that is holding the eyelash extensions together, leading to premature fallout. If you are not careful, it could make your natural lashes fall out as well. Once you apply your lash extensions, keeping your hands off them most of the time will keep them looking good for longer.
Lack of Proper Care for your Eyelash Extensions
There are people who will fail to clean their eyelash extensions for fear that if they do, they will fall off. The truth is, if you allow dirt and oil to accumulate in your lash extensions, they will fall off prematurely. Dirt will form a good breeding ground for bacteria and inflammations that will lead to premature falling of your lash extensions.
You need to brush your lash extensions daily using the right brush to keep them in good shape. you also need to keep the lashes clean all the time and with this, the extensions will last longer without losing their appeal.
Getting Your Lash Extensions Wet as Soon as They Are Applied
Every professional lash artist will advise you to avoid swimming and any other activity that could get your lashes wet within 24 hours after application. If you go against this, the lash glue will loosen and as a result, your lash extensions will fall off.
You need to give your eyelash extensions enough time to dry and once this is done, you can then proceed to enjoy a good swim. Remember you paid a lot to have the lash extensions and you cannot afford to lose them as soon as you apply them.
Taking Some Medications or vitamins
There are some prescription medications that can interfere with the working of your body and this will affect your lash extensions. For instances, there are medications that will make your natural lashes dryer or oilier and since your lash extensions are glued to the natural lashes, they’ll get affected.
If you are taking vitamins to boost the growth of your hair, the natural lashes will shed faster and this will lead to premature falling of the lash extensions. Any medication that will change the normal functioning of your body will lead to premature shedding of your lash extensions.
Error in Eyelash Extensions Application
Your choice of a lash artist will determine how long your eyelash extensions will last. If you go for an inexperienced and untrained lash artist, the possibility of the application going wrong is very high.
There is a need to conduct a background check about the spa you intend to have your lashes applied. Check the online reviews from their past customers and if you’re able to reach some of them via phone, ask them about their experience.
You can also ask for photos of the previous applications to gauge the quality of the lash artist’s application. If you are not impressed, look for another spa where you’ll be sure of getting the best services. Remember you are paying a high price for the lash extensions and you need to look your best.
Poor Nutrition
Always remember that what you eat will determine the health of your body and this includes your natural lashes. If you are not taking foods that will supply the right nutrients to your natural lashes, they will fall off and this means your lash extensions will fall off too.
After the eyelash extensions application, you need to ensure that you avoid going to places where there is high humidity within 24 hours. If you do this, the high temperatures will lead to the falling off of the lash extensions as the glue is not dry enough.
Any places where you’ll sweat a lot should be a no-go-zone immediately after applying eyelash extensions. Allow the lashes to dry fast before you can expose the lashes to such humid conditions.
As seen above, it is what you do after an eyelash extensions application that will determine how long they will last. From your diet, to the sleeping habits and daily beauty habits, you can either make the lash extensions last longer or fall off as soon as they are applied. Take care of your eyelash extensions and you’ll get value for your money.
