How long will my lash extensions last?

In general, clients lash sets typically last 3-4 weeks minimum without needing a touch up.

There really isn't a set answer to this question. Lots of factors can affect how long your lash extensions will last. Great lash retention is dependent on your natural lash growth pattern, your skin type, and the set you have (Natural Set, Volume Specialty Set).  I have some clients with lashes that grow very fast and they prefer touch ups more frequently. I also have clients who have slower growth and I see them once a month or longer.  

So unfortunately, there isn't a definite answer I can provide as it's on a case by case basis.

Will Lash Extensions Damage My Natural Lashes?

The idea that lash extensions damage your natural lashes or cause them to become thinner or shorter with continued wear is a common fear and a huge misconception. When lash extensions are applied properly, meaning the thickness of the extension isn’t too heavy for your natural lash to support, they are not much longer than and each extension is carefully applied to one lash at a time, you will not see a difference in the health of your natural lashes regardless of how long you wear lash extensions. To further validate my point, I keep a record of each clients natural lashes in their chart. Natural lash health is important. The healthier the natural lashes, the better the extension set.

Your natural eyelashes are in a constant cycle of growing and shedding which is less noticeable without lash extensions because your natural lashes tend to be shorter, lighter in color and fine in texture. However, when lash extensions are applied, your lashes appear darker, more curly and fuller which makes it more noticeable when they shed.

Also, you get used to seeing yourself with the lash extensions. So once they’re removed, it may seem like you have significantly less lashes but it’s only because you’ve grown used to seeing lash extensions.

How Often Do I Need A Full Set?

Due to Pulchra’s specialist-applied lash sets having amazing retention, several clients never have the need for a full set. The control of having a new full set or a touch-up is at your own discretion. Full sets are only required when you’ve lost 50% or more of your eyelash extensions. Below is a reference to use when in doubt.
