How Often Should You Get a Lash Refill — And Why It Matters

Eyelash extensions aren’t just about beauty — they require care and maintenance. If you want to keep your lashes looking fresh and your gaze expressive, it's essential not only to follow proper aftercare but also to come in for regular fills.

What is a lash refill?

A refill is a procedure where your lash artist removes grown-out, twisted, or missing extensions and replaces them with new ones. This helps maintain the look of a full, fresh set without needing a complete redo.

How often should you get a refill?

On average — every 2 to 3 weeks. Why this interval? It’s simple: your natural lashes have a life cycle of 6 to 8 weeks, but they don’t all fall out at once. We naturally shed 2 to 5 lashes per eye each day — and when you're wearing extensions, each falling natural lash takes the attached extension with it.

After about 10–14 days, you'll start noticing gaps, unevenness, or your lashes “breaking apart.” That’s exactly when you need a refill. The longer you wait, the more lashes you lose — and the harder it is to restore the original look.

What happens if you skip timely refills?

• Your lashes may start to look messy and uneven
• You may need a full removal and a brand-new set
• Uneven weight distribution could damage your natural lashes
• The cost will be higher than a routine refill

Why are regular fills so important?

A refill isn’t just a “top-up” — it’s an essential part of maintaining both the look and the health of your eyelash extensions. It also allows your lash artist to monitor the condition of your natural lashes and adjust the length, curl, or volume based on changes in your preferences or lash growth.

If you start noticing your lashes thinning or looking uneven — don’t wait for them to completely fall out. Booking a refill in advance is the best way to keep your lashes looking flawless every day.

Consistency is the secret to stunning lashes — always!
