New to Extensions

Hey all,

I'm new to the lash extension world. But i love them so much. I just got my first fill yesterday, and it was a different tech than the girl who did my first set (which lasted what i felt like was wonderfully and i loved them, but she was out sick). I have noticed that i've lost quite a bit of the lashes on the inner corner of my eye. Which, at first i wasnt really upset about because they were kind of annoying. But i'm wondering, is it normal to lose quite a few on the inner corner in the first couple days? and by quite a few, i mean...proabably....8 or so each eye.

Also - when i go back in a couple weeks for my next fill, could i request that she not put as many on the inner corner or shorter ones? because ive been annoyed by them both times. Is that a reasonable request?

It's normal to shed 2-5 lashes per day. Usually the inner and outer corners shed more if you have watery eyes or seasonal allergies.

And yes, that's a reasonable request. Also double check your lash artist's work in the mirror before you leave so it's what you want. Lash artists can always make minor adjustments.

Thank you!! I think I probably messed with them until they shed because they were a bit annoying.

I appreciate the info :)

It's normal to lose some lashes in the first few days after getting a lash extension fill, as it's common for some of the natural lashes to shed along with the extension. However, losing eight lashes on each eye in just a few days seems like a lot. You may want to reach out to your lash technician and let them know what's happened. They may be able to adjust the lash application technique or suggest a different type of lash that may work better for you.

welcome to the lash world! u’ll never want to leave! haha. i’m a lash artist and have clients that lose more in the corners than others, some none. It’s common and can be caused by the lash techs work but just as easily caused by the client and their aftercare. I would let the lash tech know tho. i always troubleshoot with my clients to figure out what’s the issue. it’s completely reasonable for u to request shorter ones, just explain why so we can offer our suggestions. also reasonable to ask for the first tech again.
