The Hair Growth Cycle

All human eyelashes fall into one of three categories
During their growth cycle the same as the hairs on
the rest of our body.

is essential that you fully separate
any lashes that have got stuck
together.

Infills:
A full set of lashes can look great for a couple of weeks, but naturally lashes will start to shed.
Everyone’s eyelashes fall out at different intervals, but on average we lose around 42-70 lashes a fortnight. So,
when you start to see gaps in your lashes, what do you do? Well, you can either get a lash infill or you can get a
whole new set of lashes.
If you wish to maintain your lashes, usually between 2-4 weeks, you will require infills. Timing depends on
factors such as:
• Generally, the more lashes we apply, the longer they last (more to lose).
• How you treat them.
• Your lash cycle and how fast you are shedding/growing lashes.
• Your skin type (oilier complexions usually shed lashes faster).
We will infill up to around 3-4 weeks, as long as at least 1/3 of the lashes have been retained well.
