How long should you typically wait between lash extensions applications?

1 to 2 weeks
2 to 3 weeks
3 to 4 weeks
4 to 6 weeks

The correct answer is: 2 to 3 weeks

Waiting 2 to 3 weeks between lash extension applications is generally recommended for several reasons. First, this timeframe allows for the natural shedding cycle of the eyelashes, which typically occurs every 6 to 8 weeks. At 2 to 3 weeks, clients will usually have experienced some natural lash loss that creates space for a refill while still having enough of the extensions remaining to maintain a full appearance. Additionally, this interval helps ensure the health of both the natural lashes and the extensions. Frequent applications without breaks can lead to potential damage to the natural lashes, particularly if they are not given adequate time to recover and grow. Moreover, adhering to this schedule typically provides a good balance between maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the lashes and ensuring the health of the natural lashes, as well as allowing the technician the opportunity to safely assess the condition of the lashes before reapplication.
