Eyelash Extensions: how long do lash sets last?

The lightweight extensions applied by stylists at a Hani Lash location are designed with durability and staying power in mind. Using a specially formulated adhesive, our stylists follow a meticulous process to ensure maximum lash retention and health. They also provide essential aftercare tips to help maintain the longevity of your lash extensions.

Several factors can influence how long your lash set will last, but by following your stylist’s aftercare tips, you can enjoy long, full lashes for four to six weeks, ensuring plenty of head-turning moments.

Genetics and Lash Life: Your Physical Features Matter

The Hani Lash brand wishes lashes would never fall out, but it’s a fact of life. You have between 90 and 160 eyelashes on your top eyelid, and they fall out naturally, just like the hair on your head. But Mother Nature, in all her wisdom, grants you new lashes every 2-3 weeks, just like a Fairy Godmother. That’s why you always have lashes to protect your eyes.

Just as skin tone and eye shape vary from person to person, each individual’s eyelash growth cycle is unique. Your personal health and hair growth, influenced by your DNA, also affect how quickly your lashes replace themselves. The typical cycle is 6-10 weeks, and it’s normal to lose one to five lashes per day.

Supplements can impact this cycle, too. Those taking prenatal pills or vitamins for hair growth might notice fuller lashes but may need to book lash fills more regularly.

Since your Lash Stylist applies synthetic strands to your natural lashes, the rate at which your body sheds lashes directly affects the retention of your extensions and how long you maintain your beautiful new look.

The longevity of your extensions primarily depends on your lash growth cycle and how well you prioritize lash maintenance. It’s recommended to come in twice a month, aligning with the natural fallout timing of your lashes.

The Application Process at Hani Lash

What happens at Hani Lash locations is largely determined by the artistry of the Lash Stylist and the preferences of the guest! The type of lash adhesive (lash glue) used at Hani Lash locations makes a significant difference. Our adhesive is a safe, professional-grade product, and our stylists use the utmost care to give you the look you desire while you relax and enjoy the tranquility of your private lash suite.

Each strand is meticulously attached to individual lashes, either one-to-one or multiple synthetics to a single lash, depending on the type of lashes you’re getting.

Lash extensions last longer when applied to clean eyelids, which is why all guests are asked to arrive with no makeup and a fresh face. Review more pre-appointment instructions here! You can also book a Lash Bath before your scheduled appointment.

The size and style of your extensions also affect the endurance of your new lashes. The Hani Lash brand uses lightweight vegan extensions that last longer than fibers like mink. Choosing a lash style that’s less voluminous and has a similar curl to your natural lashes can also extend the life of your look.

Taking Care of Your Lash Extensions

Your stylist will provide you with step-by-step instructions for the first 24 hours following your appointment while the adhesive cures. Following these aftercare tips and tricks will extend the life of your lashes and ensure you get maximum value.

To maximize retention, keep your new extensions dry for 24-48 hours after your lash application. Avoid activities that produce sweat or tears, and be careful when washing your face, as moisture can prevent the glue from curing completely. Activities such as swimming within this period will undermine your lash life, and it’s best to postpone any visits to the steam room at the gym.

It’s also wise to avoid wearing oil-based eye makeup or products for a day or two. Planning ahead is key, so avoid scheduling your appointment on the same day as a big event; build in a safety day before any significant occasion.

Try not to touch or rub your new lashes. Brush your lashes regularly, just like you do your hair—twice a day is suggested. Use the Hani Lash Retractable Wand to prevent buildup and remove debris; it helps keep clumps from developing.

Lash Baths can also help with retention. This service ensures your natural lashes are free of any residue or oils that could impact the adhesion of the new lashes.

Tips from Hani Lash for Long-Lasting Eyelash Extensions

After following your aftercare instructions, you can adopt a routine that prolongs the life of your extensions and extends the time between appointments.

Keep your face clean, especially above your eyes, because sweat and oils that reach the eye area break down the adhesive. After the first 48 hours, use a specialized lash cleanser—like the Hani Lash Foam Cleanser—to wash daily. For added strength, shine, and gloss, use the Protective Lash Coating on your new lashes. This clear coating helps protect eyelash extensions and the adhesive bond.

For many, becoming a Lashionista means no longer needing eye makeup. However, if you want the added drama of mascara, avoid using oil-based products. The same goes for any cleansers, moisturizers, or makeup near your eyes—even your makeup remover!

Sleep on your back or your side rather than placing pressure on your lash zone; don’t bury your face in a pillow. Use the Hani Lash Contoured Eye Sleeping Mask or Satin Pillowcases to avoid snagging your lashes when you turn over in the middle of the night.
