Eyelash extensions have become a must-have in modern beauty routines, offering a striking yet low-maintenance look. But to keep those lashes looking flawless, eyelash services fills are essential. If you’ve ever wondered why fills are necessary or how often you need them, you’re in the right place. At Akandoc Lifestyle, we’re here to walk you through everything you need to know about eyelash fills and how they fit into your overall lash care.
What Are Eyelash Fills?
An eyelash fill is a routine maintenance appointment that helps restore your lash extensions to their original fullness. Over time, your natural lashes shed, and with them, the extensions attached to them. Fills involve applying new extensions to the areas where your natural lashes have grown in or where previous extensions have fallen out.
Rather than starting from scratch every few weeks, fills allow you to maintain your look consistently and cost-effectively. It’s an integral part of maintaining any lash extension style whether you prefer classic, volume, or hybrid.
Why Are Eyelash Fills Important?
1. Maintain Fullness and Style
As your lashes grow and shed naturally, gaps can appear, leaving your lash line looking uneven. Eyelash fills help keep your lashes looking as full and fabulous as they did right after your initial appointment. This consistent upkeep ensures your lash style stays intact, whether you want a soft natural flutter or a bold dramatic look.
2. Save Time and Money
Getting regular fills saves you from needing a complete new set of lashes, which takes more time and costs significantly more. Keeping up with your fills extends the life of your lash extensions and makes the most of your initial investment.
3. Promote Lash Health
At Akandoc Lifestyle, your lash health is first priority. During the fill, your technician will determine your natural lashes and existing extensions. If any extensions are grown out or improperly adhered, they’ll be safely removed. This helps prevent damage and ensures that your natural lashes remain healthy and strong.
When Do You Need an Eyelash Fill?
Typically, you’ll need an eyelash fill every 2 to 3 weeks. However, several factors influence this timing:
- Natural Lash Growth Cycle: Everyone’s lashes grow and shed at different rates, typically 1 to 5 lashes per day. This natural process affects how quickly your extensions thin out.
- Lifestyle: Exposure to steam, sweat, oil-based products, and how you sleep can all impact how long your extensions last.
- Aftercare: How you care for your lashes such as cleaning them regularly and avoiding rubbing your eyes makes a big difference in retention.
- Lash Style: The more dramatic your lash set (like mega volume), the more maintenance it may require to keep it looking full.
If you notice significant gaps, loss of curl, or miss the bold fullness of your lashes, it’s time to book a fill.
