As we transition into the vibrant season of spring, you might notice a subtle shift in your lashes. Just as nature undergoes renewal, so do our bodies, and this includes the natural cycle of lash shedding. While it might seem concerning to find a few extra lashes on your pillow or makeup remover, rest assured that this is a normal process.
Losing More Lashes? Spring Could Be the Reason
Why does this happen? As the weather warms up and the days get longer, our skin and hair naturally produce more oil to maintain hydration. Additionally, spring brings an increase in pollen and other allergens that can collect on our lashes. This combination of oil and allergens can sometimes weaken the bond between your lash extensions and natural lashes, leading to a bit more shedding than usual.
What’s Normal vs. Excessive Lash Shedding?
It’s important to remember that losing a few lashes every day is a completely normal part of their natural growth cycle. However, you might notice a slight increase in shedding during the spring and fall. If you’re concerned about excessive lash loss or notice any irritation, it’s always a good idea to consult with your lash artist. They can provide personalized guidance and address any concerns you may have.
Essential Facts About Spring Lash Shedding
Here are a few key things to keep in mind about seasonal shedding:
- It’s cyclical: Lash shedding tends to be more pronounced in the spring and fall, coinciding with changes in the environment.
- It’s temporary: This period of increased shedding typically lasts about 4-6 weeks.
- It varies from person to person: Some individuals may naturally shed more lashes than others.
Top Tips to Keep Your Lashes Full During Shedding Season
While shedding is a natural occurrence, there are steps you can take to maintain the fullness and health of your lashes:
- Prioritize lash hygiene: Keeping your lashes clean is essential. Use a dedicated lash cleanser, such as our Lash Cleanse, and a soft cleansing brush, like our Lash Cleansing Brush, to gently remove oil, makeup residue, and allergens.
- Incorporate daily brushing: Regularly brushing your lashes with a clean lash brush, like our Lash Brush, helps to distribute natural oils, prevent tangles, and keep your lashes looking their best.
- Maintain a consistent fill schedule: Sticking to your recommended fill schedule, every 2 weeks, ensures that any shed extensions are promptly replaced, maintaining a consistently full lash line.
- Explore volumizing lash styles: If you’re looking for a fuller appearance during shedding season, consider lash styles like MegaVolume or TrueVolume. These techniques utilize multi-lash fans to create a denser look that can help minimize the appearance of shedding.
- Enhance protection with a sealant: Adding a lash sealant, such as Deka Lash Finish, to your daily routine can provide an extra layer of protection against oil, moisture, and humidity. This helps prolong the life of your extensions.
