Many women opt for eyelash extensions as an alternative to fixing false lashes daily. It is quite convenient as well, but it is not cheap. If you are considering towing this path, you should know how long they last to determine their worth.
Maintenance
How long a lash extension lasts depends on its maintenance. If you want it to last, you should learn to care for it. Some simple care includes not using oil-based lotions and sunscreens around the eyes. This is because such products break down the adhesive on the extension. Mascara is also not necessary when you have eyelash extensions installed.
Along with following these steps, you should also avoid sweating too much, sleeping on your back or using hot water in the bathroom. The extensions should be kept clean as well. You can use a mascara wand and brush it often to keep it straight and firm.
This maintenance routine can guarantee up to six weeks before the lashes fall off.
Refill
Despite following the maintenance tips above, you’ll need to do more. The extensions must be refilled every three weeks at least. They may also require some touchups. Since natural lashes grow every month, older ones fall off naturally. This means that you will need to go for a refill if you want them to last for more than a month.
