Lashes

Lash refill

A top-up appointment replacing lashes that have shed.

Natural lashes follow their own growth cycle and shed individually all the time – roughly two to five a day. At a refill, grown-out extensions are removed and new ones applied to freshly grown natural lashes.

The right rhythm:

Two to three weeks is standard. Waiting too long effectively means a new full set – which takes longer and costs more. As a rule of thumb: if fewer than 40 to 50 percent of extensions remain, it is no longer a refill.

What affects retention:

Oil-free cleansing, no picking or rubbing, no sleeping face-down and no water or steam in the first hours. Skin type and hormones also play a part – some people simply shed faster.
