Detailed Refill Process for Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions need refills because natural lashes grow and shed over time, and extensions are applied to the natural lashes. As your natural lashes go through their growth cycle, some of the extensions will fall off with them, creating gaps. Refills are needed to replace the lost extensions and maintain a full, uniform look. Typically, a refill is done every 2-3 weeks, depending on your lash growth and how well you take care of them.

 

Refilling eyelash extensions is essential to keep them looking their best. Without regular refills, your extensions can appear uneven and sparse. Additionally, keeping up with regular refills helps to maintain the health of your natural lashes. Neglecting refills can lead to overloading single lashes with multiple extensions, which can cause stress and damage to your natural lashes.

 

Detailed Refill Process for Eyelash Extensions

Assessment and Consultation:
The lash technician examines your current lashes to assess the condition and how many extensions need to be refilled.

You may discuss any concerns, desired look changes, or any issues you experienced since the last appointment.

Cleaning:
The technician cleans your lashes to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup residue. This step is crucial to ensure proper adhesion of the new extensions.

Removing Outgrown or Damaged Extensions:
Extensions that have grown out too far from the lash line or are twisted are carefully removed. This is usually done with a special remover or tweezers to ensure no damage to your natural lashes.

Isolation:
Each natural lash is isolated using tweezers to ensure that the new extensions are applied correctly and individually. Proper isolation prevents lashes from sticking together and ensures a natural look.

Applying New Extensions:
New extensions are selected to match the remaining ones in length, curl, and thickness.

The technician dips each extension in adhesive and applies it to your natural lash, one by one. They will fill in any gaps and ensure even coverage for a full, balanced look.

Drying and Setting:
After all the extensions are applied, the adhesive needs to dry. Some technicians use a small fan to speed up this process.

The technician may also use a nano-mister to cure the adhesive and reduce any potential irritation.

Final Check and Adjustments:
The technician performs a final check to ensure all lashes are properly bonded and that there are no clumps or lashes sticking together.

Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a symmetrical and natural appearance.

Aftercare Instructions:
You will be given aftercare instructions to help maintain your extensions. This often includes avoiding water and steam for the first 24-48 hours, using oil-free makeup remover, and gently brushing your lashes daily.

 

Tips for a Successful Refill
Before the Appointment:
Arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes.

Avoid using oil-based products around your eyes for at least 24 hours before the appointment.

Do not curl your lashes or use mascara on the day of your appointment.

After the Appointment:
Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours.

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers during this period.

Regular refills keep your lash extensions looking fresh and full, maintaining the desired look and ensuring the health of your natural lashes.
