Understanding Lash Shed Season: What You Need to Know

If you've noticed your lash extensions shedding more than usual, don’t panic—it’s likely due to lash shed season! Just like the hair on your head, your natural eyelashes go through growth cycles, and during certain times of the year, you may experience more shedding than usual. At Revelashons, we want to keep you informed so you know what to expect and how to maintain your beautiful lashes during these seasonal changes.

What Is Lash Shed Season?

Lash shed season typically happens in the fall and spring when the body adjusts to changing temperatures and daylight hours. These shifts can trigger hormonal responses that speed up the natural shedding cycle of your lashes. During these periods, you may lose more natural lashes than usual, which can make your lash extensions appear to fall out faster.

What to Expect During Lash Shed Season

Increased Shedding: You may notice more lash extensions falling out along with your natural lashes. This is normal and temporary.
Shorter Retention Period: Because your natural lashes are shedding more quickly, your extensions may not last as long as usual.
Thinner Appearance: With more lashes naturally shedding, your lash line may appear less full between fills.

How to Maintain Your Lash Extensions During Shed Season

Keep Up with Your Lash Fills: Since more lashes are shedding, you may need to book fills slightly more frequently to maintain fullness.
Use a Lash Serum: Strengthening your natural lashes with a high-quality, extension-safe lash serum can help promote healthier growth.
Be Gentle: Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling at loose extensions, as this can cause unnecessary lash loss.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutrient-Rich Foods: A balanced diet with biotin, omega-3s, and vitamins can help support strong, healthy lashes.
Follow Proper Aftercare: Cleansing your lashes with an oil-free, lash-safe cleanser ensures your extensions stay clean and last longer.

When Does Lash Shed Season End?

Lash shedding is a natural process that happens year-round, but the more noticeable seasonal shed typically lasts about 4-6 weeks. Once your body adjusts to the seasonal changes, your lash cycle will return to normal, and your retention should improve.

By taking extra care of your lashes and keeping up with your appointments, you can still enjoy beautiful, long-lasting extensions.
