How long do eyelash extensions last - a question that interests everyone

Most common reasons

There are several factors that cause eyelashes to fall out, which doctors most often encounter in practice:

• Lack of vitamins and beneficial microelements. In this case, intense hair loss is the only visual symptom. If you scratch your eye, there are seven to eight eyelashes left on your hand.
• Low quality cosmetics. The chemical elements included in the product have a negative effect on hair follicles. As a result, they are destroyed, which leads to eyelash loss. Additionally, there is redness of the eyelids and eyes, unbearable itching,
• Malfunction of the thyroid gland. This is a dangerous pathology that can lead to serious hair problems,

• Poor nutrition. Are you trying to achieve an ideal figure by limiting yourself to kefir? Then don’t be surprised that your eyelashes are falling out. They negatively accept regular fasting and strict diets,
• Blepharitis. The skin around the organ of vision swells and begins to itch severely. Hair falls out intensively, in some cases peeling of the epidermis is observed. As the disease progresses, pustules form, causing discomfort,
• Impact of medications. Most often, severe eyelash loss due to medication is observed in patients undergoing treatment for cancer.

In some situations, severe hair loss may signal the development of a severe abnormality. Therefore, if such symptoms appear, it is worth undergoing a comprehensive examination.

Individual characteristics of the client

• Eyelashes have their own growth cycle and losing 2-3 eyelashes per day is considered normal and does not depend on professionalism or materials. After 3-5 weeks, the difference between your own eyelashes and the eyelash extensions will be very noticeable, which in this case is also the norm. Therefore, lash makers recommend adjusting eyelashes after 21 days, not because of their whim and desire to make money, but for completely natural reasons.
• Oily skin negatively affects the durability of the glue, so eyelashes fall off more often and correction or extensions are indicated more often. Such skin and eyelashes need to be more intensively cared for and cleaned.
• Diseases , including viral, infectious or hormonal imbalances, can also cause a short period of wearing.

Associated symptoms with eyelash loss

The very first sign indicating the occurrence of health problems is significant thinning of the hairline. There are also several characteristic symptoms that make it possible to identify the true cause of eyelash loss. The main manifestations include:

• Swelling of the eyelid,
• Unbearable itching and burning of the organ of vision,
• Peeling of the skin in the eye area,
• Formation of pustules,
• Intense redness of the mucous membrane.

Depending on the clinical picture, you need to seek medical help from an ophthalmologist or dermatologist.

Why do my eyelash extensions fall out?

A cosmetic procedure designed to give young ladies fluffy and long eyelashes can provoke unpleasant consequences. During the extension process, a special adhesive is used. With its help, from one to three synthetic hairs are attached to natural hairs.

Eyelash loss after a cosmetic procedure occurs for the following reasons:

• Violation of extension technology. In this case, hair loss is observed almost immediately after the procedure or a few days later,
• Natural process of loss. Since synthetic eyelashes are attached to natural ones, they leave their “home” at the same time.

Material weight

Everyone is familiar with the situation when eyelashes are not recommended for long-term wear due to the type of extension. But with a new type of material developed by Bombini brand technologists, long-term wearing has become possible and with greater comfort. Bombini eyelashes are ultra-light and flexible. The brand is new to the lash industry, but has managed to confidently declare itself. Bombini strictly monitors quality and eyelashes undergo a three-stage quality check, which almost eliminates defects.

How long do eyelashes grow after they fall out?

Renewing the hairline on the eyelids is a rather lengthy process. Eyelash growth occurs extremely slowly. However, even after falling out, they continue to grow, and within several years there is a complete replacement of the row.

Let's take a closer look at the process of eyelash growth, which includes several stages:

• Follicle formation. A “new resident” gradually begins to form under the old onion. After the follicle has finally matured, the hair that has “fulfilled its duty” falls out,
• Active growth. Within a month or a month and a half, the eyelash grows rapidly, then the rate of “growing up” decreases,
• Life cycle. After the hair stops growing completely, it remains to exist for three to six months. Then the process goes in circles.

As a result, each eyelash lives a maximum of one hundred and fifty days. Then it is replaced by a new hair. In a healthy person, this process goes unnoticed. Return to contents

What to do if eyelashes fall out?

As soon as you notice that your hair is falling out more intensely than usual, immediately stop using decorative cosmetics. Perhaps you use expensive mascara or eye shadow from popular brands, but your eyes don’t like them. In some cases, eyelashes do not need to be decorated with layers of cosmetics, but treated. Sometimes pathology can be dealt with using improvised means.

Review your diet, exclude unhealthy foods (chips, carbonated drinks, chocolate, sausages). Add more fresh vegetables and fruits to your menu. Eat homemade products more often: sour cream, butter, eggs. Meat, fish and dairy products are good for the health of not only eyelashes, but also the whole body. Forget about processed foods and fast food!

If you urgently need to provide “support” to your hair, purchase a vitamin-mineral complex to strengthen eyelashes and nails. They contain vitamin A and B.

Before going to bed, take care of your eyelashes by lubricating them with linseed or castor oil. To apply the product, use a sterile clean brush. The procedure must be carried out daily for a month. If possible, treat hairs several times throughout the day. The main thing is to be careful and make sure that the product does not get into your eyes.

How to strengthen at home?

If you experience intense hair loss and you know for sure that this is not associated with a disease, you can try to cope with the problem using traditional medicine. The most effective are decoctions of medicinal herbs, on the basis of which lotions are made.

• For problematic eyelashes, an infusion of cornflower, eyebright, chamomile and green tea will come to the rescue. These components can be used both together and separately. Brew the infusion and leave for several hours to allow the composition to infuse. Then soak cotton pads in the liquid and apply to your eyes for fifteen minutes. The product not only stops eyelash loss, but also eliminates dark circles,
• Lotions made from peach or almond oil have a good effect. Warm it in a water bath to room temperature, then soak a cotton pad and apply to your eyes for fifteen minutes. After fourteen days, you will notice how thick, strong and long your eyelashes have become. With such beauty, no cosmetics are required,
• To stop hair loss, use lotions made from sea buckthorn oil and carrot juice.

If the cause of eyelash loss is due to infection, try a chamomile decoction compress. After each procedure you need to wash your face. Moreover, water quality plays a huge role. It is not recommended to use tap liquid, the quality of which leaves much to be desired.

Opt for filtered or boiled water. Pour it into a small bowl, lower your face completely and open your eyes for a few seconds. Just don't blink! Otherwise, you risk facing irritation.

Homemade balm strengthens eyelashes well. Mix equal amounts of castor and burdock oil, pharmaceutical solution of vitamin E, and fresh aloe juice. Every evening, apply the mixture along the hairline. To store the balm, use an empty mascara bottle. Don't forget to rinse and dry it thoroughly first. Carry out the same treatment for the brush. The composition is stored in the refrigerator.

A castor oil mask has beneficial properties. Heat it in a water bath and apply it to your eyelashes for twenty minutes. Before using the product, make sure there is no allergic reaction. Because increased sensitivity can only worsen the condition.

Another effective recipe consists of castor oil (five grams), petroleum jelly (eight grams) and Peruvian balsam (0.2 grams). Combine all ingredients, mix thoroughly and apply to eyelashes twice a day. The composition is not hazardous to the eyes, but it is better to avoid getting it on the mucous membranes. Because as a result, an oily film is formed, which will take a long time to wash off. Return to contents

Glue

Eyelash glue is the main character in eyelash extensions. It is he who is responsible for the duration of wear, and then the rest of the conditions follow. It requires careful selection and compliance with climatic operating conditions. Therefore, choose only high-quality, proven glue to be confident in the result of the work and not harm the client. Its choice is individual for the master, since it has different setting speeds: from instant to 3 seconds. The glue accelerates its hardening with increasing temperature and humidity.

Experienced craftsmen recommend having several types of glue in your arsenal: both fast and slow - for all cases.

Storing the glue is as important as using it. Because if it is stored incorrectly, it loses its properties. It is best to store it tightly closed in a dark, dry place at room temperature. Avoid exposure to sunlight and do not store in the refrigerator. A cooled tube, when exposed to heat, promotes the formation of condensation inside on the walls, which is unacceptable in the adhesive composition.

Elasticity is important in the glue, which does not allow the eyelashes to come off when deformed. Bombini eyelash glue is hypersensitive and highly elastic, has optimal density - it penetrates well into the fiber and provides reliable adhesion.

Causes and treatment of this phenomenon in a child

In children, a similar process may occur for the following reasons:

• Stressful situation. For example, moving to a new area and changing educational institutions. In this case, you urgently need to seek help from an experienced psychologist,
• The development of infectious pathologies, for example, conjunctivitis or barley. The course of therapy in such situations is selected by an ophthalmologist,
• Malfunction of the hormonal system. Most often, this problem occurs in adolescence. Treatment is selected individually for each patient after a visit to the endocrinologist,
• Genetic predisposition. Such an anomaly can be predicted in advance. If one of your close relatives suffered from severe eyelash loss, then there is a high risk that the pathology will also appear in the heirs,
• Mite infestation. Demodectic mange is one of the most common causes of intense hair loss. Infection occurs after contact with a sick person or when sharing personal hygiene products with him,
• Taking a certain group of medications. You can cope with the problem by replacing the medication or completely abandoning it.

Prevention

Like any pathology, eyelash loss is easier to prevent than to deal with the problem for a long time and painfully. Following basic rules will help minimize the risk of eyelid baldness:

• Use only high-quality cosmetic products from reputable manufacturers. It is better to opt for professional means,
• Carefully monitor the expiration date of products that come into contact with the eyelids and eyes.
• Buy cosmetics with natural and hypoallergenic ingredients,
• Take a vitamin and mineral course regularly,
• Do not use other people's personal hygiene products or towels to wipe your face,
• Before touching your eyes with your hands, wash them thoroughly.
• When swimming in the pool, wear safety glasses.

Parameters of artificial fiber

Let's consider all the parameters of artificial fiber . Namely its length, thickness and bend. Each of them affects the duration in its own way.

• The longer and thicker the eyelash, the greater its bend, the heavier the natural eyelashes will be.
• C and B curves with minimal curl, C and D curves can be called universal, but L and L+ curves with a large bend at the base, which, combined with long ones, load the eyelashes.
• The most popular lengths are 5 to 14 mm, thicknesses from 0.07 to 0.15 mm.
• Eyelashes with a thickness of 0.2 mm are physically very heavy on the eyes.
• Lengths from 12 mm - only for special events or looks.
• The optimal combination of all parameters is comfortably tolerated within the prescribed period.
