Faster Shedding of Eyelash Extensions in Spring? Find Out How the Equinox Affects Retention

Have you noticed a shorter retention of eyelash extensions in your clients? Find out how the spring equinox affects the shedding of eyelash extensions.

Spring Equinox and Durability of Eyelash Extensions: Why is Your Glue Acting Up?

Every lash artist knows this moment: a previously reliable eyelash glue suddenly starts working differently, and clients return for refills with noticeably sparse applications. Before you blame the products or change your technique, take a deep breath. What you're observing is probably the effect of the spring equinox.

Nature Awakens – So Do Your Lashes

We are an integral part of nature, and our bodies respond to changes in the environment. Spring is a time of intense regeneration. As the world awakens, our body undergoes a process of "renewal" – this also applies to our hair and lashes.

During the equinox, the lash life cycle speeds up. Hair follicles are stimulated to produce new lashes, causing the "old" ones to fall out faster than in winter or summer.

Patience Instead of Revolution

If you've noticed that the durability of your eyelash extensions has recently been lacking, keep a few key facts in mind:

• Temporary Phenomenon: The equinox and the faster shedding of lashes usually last around 3 weeks.
• Body Adaptation: Instead of nervously changing your entire product range, give your lashes time to complete the intense shedding cycle. It's just one refill away – after about 21 days, you'll notice that the growth stabilizes, and your applications will regain the desired thickness.
• Retention Check: If you want to make sure it's only biology causing the issue, not technical factors, check out our guide: How to Increase Glue Retention – Secrets to Long-Lasting Eyelash Extensions.

Remember! In spring, we touch our eyes more often (allergies, pollen). Remind your clients to regularly wash their lashes using the Lash & Brow Pure Shampoo to maintain hygiene and remove allergens.

Allergy Season: A Challenge for Sensitive Eyes

Spring is not only the time for increased lash shedding, but also when the body becomes more reactive. The higher concentration of pollen in the air can cause cross-allergies.

This means that people allergic to pollen may suddenly start reacting to ingredients in the glue that they previously tolerated well. The body, "bombarded" with external allergens, is in a heightened state of readiness and can trigger an inflammatory reaction much faster.

During this challenging period, it's worth using the Sensitive Eyelash Glue. Its gentle formula was created with sensitive eyes in mind, minimizing the risk of irritation.
