How to Grow Back Your Natural Lashes after Eyelash Extension | The Spa and Lash Studio Clearfield

​​​​When you had your first eyelash extensions application, you were excited. Your lash extensions were applied by the best lash artist and you fell in love with the new you. You were assured of a beautiful look even without makeup. 
After removing your first eyelash extensions, you had the lash artist apply other lash extensions. You were happy that you looked good with little effort. With time, you forgot how you looked in your natural lashes. You assumed that they were still intact, and you could transition to your natural lashes at will.
Now that you do not have the time to go back to go for your regular touchups, you feel it’s time to go back to your natural lashes. To your horrified surprise, your natural lashes are no more. You look worse than you were before you applied the eyelash extensions in Clearfield for the first time.
Instead of thinking of going for another eyelash extension application, you feel its time to grow back your natural lashes. This guide will help you to grow back your natural lashes fast.
Let’s start from the beginning; the lash growth cycle
Your natural lashes will fall off even without applying eyelash extensions. Some of the reasons that lead to the falling off are harsh rubbing to get rid of waterproof mascara, stress, or use of harsh products on the facial region.
When your natural lashes fall off as a result of the above reasons, they will still grow back. Here are the stages your natural lashes will go through at different times:
  • Anagen Phase: this hair phase lasts for two weeks and is the growth period of individual lashes.
  • Catagen phase: this is a transition stage where the lashes stop growing. In the event that your lashes fall off in this phase, they will take longer to grow back. The phase lasts for at most 3 weeks within which the hair follicles complete their cycle.
  • Telogen phase: this is the longest stage that lasts between 3 and 5 months. The lashes are fully keratinized and do not grow at all in this stage. Derma papilla is at rest and will not supply nutrients to the lashes.
Though you may not notice it, you keep losing eyelashes in all the 3 phases. The duration the lashes lost will take to grow back will be determined by the phase.
Here is how you will speed up the growth of your natural lashes after lash extensions
Increase your vitamins intake
Taking foods rich in vitamins will ensure that your lashes get the nutrients needed to boost their growth. In addition, you should also take foods rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc as these will also boost the growing back of your lost eyelashes.
Avoid using harsh makeup products on your eyes
Products such as oil-based mascara will be very difficult to remove and you will have to rub it off really had to get it off. You should avoid using such products as they will do more harm to your natural lashes. Instead, use gentle products and if possible, natural products that are full of vital nutrients.
Massage your natural lashes
When you massage your natural lashes, it will enhance the supply of oxygen and, in turn, the oxygen will boost the growth of your lashes. The oxygen supplied to the lashes will also be full of other vital nutrients that will boost the growth of your natural lashes.
Avoid stress
Stress is one of the major causes of hair loss, both the natural lashes and on the scalp as well. If you are able to reduce your stress levels and look for ways to make you feel better, it will make your natural lashes grow back faster.
Activities such as nature walks, meditation, yoga or even gardening will get you in a better mood and this will have a positive impact on your hair. If the stress persists, seeking professional help will be a good option as you will be able to address the problem from the roots.
Read product labels before using them
When buying makeup product, be careful with the ingredients used in making them. Some of the products sold will make your skin dry, itchy, and this will make your lashes dry. Continuous dryness of the lashes will lead to falling off to avert such situation; you should avoid using such products. Look for products that contain natural nourishing ingredients to use on your face.
Should you give your natural lashes a break between eyelash extensions?
After reading all the scary stories from the people who have had eyelash extensions applied, you are afraid. You wonder if it is right to give your natural lashes a break between lash extensions.
The truth is, you do not need a break between eyelash extension applications. What is important is getting the right lash artist for your eyelash extensions in Clearfield. A lash artist who will take care of your natural lashes and ensure that they are not breaking.
When you get a professional lash artist, he will observe your natural lashes every time you go for a refill. If he notices any thinning, he will make appropriate recommendations. For instance, if you had applied very bulk eyelash extensions, he will recommend changing these and getting lighter lash extensions.
Just like the hair on your scalp, your natural lashes follow a growth cycle. There is a time for growth, a time for falling off, and a time for stagnation. The duration within which the natural lashes falls off will determine how long it will take for them to grow back. If they fall off during the telogen phase, they may take up to 5 months to grow back which is scary. 
Getting the right eyelash extensions and looking for a professional lash artist to apply them is the only way to keep your natural lashes intact. A person who will be careful to check the condition of the lashes every time you go for a refill and also one that will use the right products when applying lash extension.
