Do easy fan volume lashes need to be replaced completely after a certain time? Well, as a supplier of easy fan volume lashes, I've been asked this question a ton. Let's dig into it and find out what's up.
First off, let's talk about what easy fan volume lashes are. These are lashes that are designed to be super easy to apply. They come in a pre - made fan shape, which saves a ton of time for lash artists compared to making the fans from scratch. They're a popular choice for both lash salons and individuals who want to do their own lashes at home. You can check out more about Volume Lash Extensions and Premade Eyelash Fans on our website.
Now, the lifespan of easy fan volume lashes depends on a few factors. One of the biggest factors is the natural lash growth cycle. Our natural lashes go through three phases: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (transition) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. On average, a natural lash has a growth cycle of about 30 to 60 days, but it can vary from person to person. When a natural lash falls out during the telogen phase, any lash extension attached to it will fall out too.
Another factor is how well the lashes are maintained. If a person takes good care of their lash extensions, they can last longer. This means avoiding oil - based products around the eyes because oil can break down the adhesive that holds the lash extensions in place. Also, being gentle when washing the face and not rubbing the eyes vigorously can help the lashes stay put.
So, do they need to be replaced completely after a certain time? The short answer is, it depends. In general, most lash artists recommend getting a fill every 2 to 3 weeks. A fill is when the lash artist replaces the lashes that have fallen out since the last appointment. But after about 6 to 8 weeks, it's often a good idea to get a full set replacement. By this time, a significant number of the original natural lashes have gone through their growth cycle and fallen out, taking the extensions with them. And the remaining extensions may start to look sparse and uneven.
Let's look at the pros and cons of full replacement versus fills. Getting a fill is less time - consuming and usually less expensive. It's a great option if only a few lashes have fallen out. It allows the lash artist to touch up the lashes and keep the overall look fresh. However, if a large number of lashes have fallen out, a fill may not be enough to achieve a full and even look.
On the other hand, a full replacement gives you a brand - new set of lashes. You'll get that fresh, just - done look again. It also gives the lash artist a chance to start with a clean slate and ensure that the lashes are applied correctly. But it takes more time and is usually more expensive than a fill.
For individuals who do their own lashes at home using Individual Eyelash Extensions, the same principles apply. They need to pay attention to how many lashes are falling out and how their lashes look overall. If they notice that their lashes are looking thin and patchy, it might be time for a new set.
As a supplier, I've seen that different customers have different preferences. Some people like to keep up with regular fills and only get a full set replacement every few months. Others prefer to get a new full set every time because they love that brand - new lash look.
