Let’s Talk Seasonal Lash Shedding🍂

Seasonal Lash Shedding Explained: Why Your Eyelash Extensions May Be Falling Out

If you’ve noticed your lash extensions falling out more quickly than usual, don’t panic, it could be due to seasonal lash shedding. This is a completely natural process that happens to everyone, and it doesn’t mean your lashes are unhealthy or that your extensions aren’t lasting.

In this post, we’ll explain why lash shedding happens, when you can expect it, and our best lash care tips to keep your extensions looking full and fluffy during this time.

What Is Seasonal Lash Shedding?🍂🌸

Our eyelashes follow a natural growth cycle with three main stages:

• Anagen (growth phase): when a new lash is actively growing.

• Catagen (transition phase): when the lash stops growing.

• Telogen (resting/shedding phase): when the lash naturally falls out.

On average, we naturally shed 2–5 eyelashes per day, but during autumn and spring, this number can increase. Just like animals shed fur seasonally, humans also experience changes in hair growth and shedding, including the lashes.

When Does Lash Shedding Happen?

Most people notice increased lash loss during:

🍂 Autumn – as our bodies adjust to cooler weather and less daylight.

🌸 Spring – as we transition from winter into longer, sunnier days.

These changes can cause more lashes to enter the telogen phase at the same time, leading to faster lash fallout. This shedding usually lasts a few weeks before your lash cycle returns to normal.

How Seasonal Lash Shedding Affects Lash Extensions

Because eyelash extensions are attached to your natural lashes, they will fall out when your natural lashes shed. This might make it feel like your extensions aren’t lasting as long, but it’s completely normal.

During shedding season, you may notice:

• Extensions looking less full sooner than usual.

• A need for infills every 2–3 weeks rather than 3–4.

• One eye shedding more than the other (often due to your sleeping side).

Lash Care Tips During Shedding Season

While you can’t stop seasonal shedding, you can keep your lashes healthy and your extensions looking great with these simple tips:

✨ Cleanse daily with a lash-safe cleanser to remove oils and debris.

✨ Avoid rubbing or pulling your lashes, as this can speed up shedding.

✨ Book regular infills to maintain fullness during higher-shed periods.

✨ Stick to your aftercare routine; clean lashes = longer-lasting extensions.

Final Thoughts

Seasonal lash shedding is a normal, temporary phase and it happens to everyone! With the right lash aftercare and regular infill appointments, you can keep your extensions looking their best even during shedding season.
