So it’s no surprise that just like thousands of other girls, I’ve always really wanted longer and thicker eyelashes. Mine were pretty good before, but I still wanted MORE (haha). So, I decided to get eyelash extensions. I did my research and found the best girl to do them for me. Show
Fast forward to three years later, and I still had them! (Insert screaming emoji here, haha). I was extremely happy with them, because even when I was not wearing makeup on my face, having the lashes still made me look presentable. So, I didn’t even question if my natural eyelashes were being damaged, I just thought that shedding was normal and that as soon as I wanted to take a break, my normal lashes would just be there waiting for me. Boy, was I was wrong! After having Diego and literally not even having time to brush my teeth, I let my eyelash extensions go. I simply didn’t have the time to be going every three weeks to get them done! And guess what? To my horrified surprise, the majority of my natural eyelashes were gone! Yes, gone! The ones that I did have left were super short–my eyelashes did not look at all like they used to before I added the extensions. HOW TO GROW BACK YOUR NATURAL EYELASHES AFTER EXTENSIONSAfter crying for like 10 minutes (I blame hormones), I made the decision to not go back for extensions and just try to focus on growing my natural eyelashes. I am not going to lie, I didn’t like what I saw on the mirror for some time. I wanted my Minnie Mouse eyes again, but with patience and the right products, my lashes came back! STAGES OF THE EYELASH GROWTH CYCLEBefore we jump in and talk about ways to grow your eyelashes back, it’s important to understand why they fall out in the first place and the stages of the eyelash growth cycle. Eyelashes can fall out for multiple reasons aside from extensions, such as harsh rubbing to remove waterproof mascara, using a product that irritates your eye area, or even stress. However, in most cases your eyelashes will grow back, and they go through several stages:
Your lashes are constantly going through these 3 phases, and it’s very normal to lose a few lashes day to day, even if you don’t notice! WHAT I DID TO SPEED UP LASH REGROWTH
IF YOU WANT TO BOOST YOUR LASH GROWTH EVEN MORE, HERE ARE A FEW ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU CAN DO:
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll see you in my next post! Will my eyelashes grow back normal after extensions?Lash extensions are fibers that are glued onto the natural eyelashes to create a thicker, longer eyelash. However, lash extensions can damage or rip the natural lashes. If natural eyelashes are lost due to lash extensions, they typically grow back in a few months.
How can I restore my eyelashes after extensions?“I recommend introducing a results-driven lash serum or a more affordable natural alternative such as castor oil. Rosemary oil is also a good option. Brush it onto lashes with a clean mascara wand (try these nifty spoolies ).
How long does it take to regrow eyelashes after extensions?However, if there's no permanent damage, any lashes that fall out when you remove the extensions should grow back eventually, perhaps around 6 weeks or so. A caveat: If you're a big fan of eyelash extensions, you may want to occasionally take a break to give your natural eyelashes a break.
Do eyelash extensions ruin real eyelashes?Lash extensions absolutely should not ruin your natural lashes. Actually, natural lashes only become damaged from extensions if they are applied incorrectly! There are also a couple of practices to keep in mind so that your natural lashes stay nice and healthy: Don't rub or tug at your lash extensions.
