The shedding process of your natural lashes:
The shedding process of your natural lashes is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. Each of your natural lashes has a growth phase, a resting phase, and a shedding phase. During the growth phase, your natural lashes will continue to grow in length and thickness until they reach their full potential.
Next, during the resting phase, the lashes will stop growing and remain at their full length and thickness for several weeks. After this, the shedding phase begins, and the lash will naturally fall out, making room for a new lash to grow in its place.
On average, each of your natural lashes has a lifecycle of approximately 60-90 days before it naturally sheds and is replaced by a new lash. This means that you can lose up to 20-30% of your natural lashes during this time.
The shedding process can be influenced by several factors, including genetics, age, hormones, and external factors such as stress and medical conditions. Additionally, rubbing or pulling on your lashes or using harsh products around your eyes can also speed up the shedding process.
It's important to note that when you have lash extensions, the extensions are attached to your natural lashes, and as a result, some of the extensions will fall out naturally along with your natural lashes during the shedding process. This is a normal and expected part of the lash extension process and is nothing to worry about.
To help minimize the impact of the shedding process on your natural lashes and lash extensions, it's important to take good care of them. This includes being gentle when cleaning them, avoiding rubbing or pulling on your lashes, and avoiding oily products around your eyes.
