How to get the best retention using Elite Bond Adhesive?
We highly recommend washing the natural lashes first using Posh Deluxe Lash Shampoo to get rid of some oil, make-up debris and dirt around the eye area. Then prime the lashes using the Wrap Perfecto or Adhesive Booster, which prepares and moisturises natural lashes by striping the lash of natural oils and residue. This then creates the ideal PH for bonding the extension to the NL. After finishing your set, you can then apply the Superbonder to cure the adhesive right away. This product will also help prolong lash retention by 30% while reducing irritation, if there is any.
Lash Smarter, Not Harder. Use our amazing Posh Deluxe Liquid Mixer, built-in with high speed to perfect mixing ability!
Elite Bond is also compatible with the new game changer, Wrap Perfecto. You can use the easy wrap to prime the natural lashes and on the strip to magnetise the adhesive easily with the natural lash.
The ideal temperature for Elite Bond glue is 18-22°C with perfect humidity conditions being 40-60%. Please remember that if your:
- Temperature is lower than 18°C, Elite Bond may be drying slower
- Temperature is higher than 22°C, Elite Bond may be drying quicker
- Humidity is lower than 40%, Elite Bond may be drying slower
- Humidity is higher than 60%, Elite Bond may be drying quicker
The curing speed can also be adjusted by the amount of adhesive that you grab according to your speed:
- If you are a little bit slow, you can grab a little bit of a glue dot to slow the curing speed.
- If the adhesive is too slow for you, grab less adhesive. Otherwise, you can also use Adhesive Booster to speed up the curing time of the adhesive.
Working in the perfect glue conditions will ensure its drying time is on point, resulting in great retention. To monitor your room conditions, we recommend using a hygrometer. The easiest way to adjust the temperature in your lash room is to use an Air Conditioner, fan or heater/radiator, and to increase or decrease the humidity, use a humidifier or dehumidifier.
Your retention may also be affected if your adhesive is not fresh or you store or use your glue incorrectly.
The shelf life of Elite Bond Adhesive before opening is 6 months from the date of production. Please remember to store your glue in the upright position, in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in an airtight container.
To keep an eye on the freshness of your glue, simply stick a piece of tape with a written date of the glue opening onto your adhesive bottle. When shaking the glue, remove the lid and cover the nozzle with a folded in half glue nozzle wipe. Remember to wipe the nozzle after every use of the glue to prevent the nozzle from getting stuck into the cap.

Wrap Perfecto 15ml | New Innovation Lash Primer - pH Balancer
Since volume fans were invented, even the most experienced lash artists have strugled with the infuriatingly precise art of wrapping volume fans around the natural lash.
Wrap Perfecto does exactly what the name promises. Thanks to innovations in lash science, our proprietary formula acts as a magnet for the cyanoacrylate inside your lash adhesive. A kiss of Wrap Perfecto causes the natural lash to snugly hug the base of the volume fan, creating bulletproof retention!
And that's not all. Wrap Perfecto also does everything a regular primer does — removes sebum, opens cuticles and speeds up setting time — without dehydrating natural lashes.
- A next-generation innovation based on Adhesive Booster
- Makes the most notoriously difficult part of lashing ingeniously easy!
- Improves retention
- Removes sebum
- Opens cuticles
- Speeds up adhesive setting time
- A must-have for volume lashers everywhere!
Wrap Perfecto creates a magnetic effect between the cyanoacrylate in your lash adhesive and the client's natural lash. When applied to both the top and base of the natural lashes, Wrap Perfecto creates a "pull" effect at the base of the extensions so it fits snugly around the natural lash.
For the best magnetic effects, apply Wrap Perfecto to the top and base of the natural lashes to make the lash extensions fan wrap all around and on the base of the extensions while they're still on the glue strip.
Remember that there's a lot of power packed into this pretty little bottle. Be more conservative with the product application than you would be with regular primers. A little bit goes a long way!
Apply at the beginning of the treatment and top off only when needed.
Note: Do not overapply/soak the base of the extensions while on the strip with the product. Less is more.
Since this product is engineered to speed up adhesive curing time, it's important to use an adhesive that does not set quickly on its own to prevent shock curing. We highly recommend using Elite Bond Adhesive if you are still looking for an awesome adhesive.
You can also match our amazing Glue Control to stop your fans from closing! Save a loooot of time, and no more failing fans!

Lash Lift Kits in Australia: What a Professional Kit Needs and How to Build Your Own (2026)
A professional lash lift kit needs three things: a lifting system (Step 1 and Step 2), a way to hold the lashes on the shield, and the tools to shape them. Everything else, like tint, developer and aftercare cream, adds to the service and to its price. Many boxed kits sold online are made for beginners or home use. They often come with one shield size, a single-use glue, and solutions you can't buy separately when they run out. Building your own kit from professional products costs a little more at the start. You get to choose each part, and you can restock just what runs out. This guide explains what goes in a professional lash lift kit, how Korean and traditional formulas differ, and what a complete kit costs. New to lifting? Start with what is lash lifting. What Goes in a Professional Lash Lift Kit? A complete kit for a lash lift and tint has eight parts. The first five are essential for the lift itself. Kit item What it does Essential? Step 1 lifting solution Softens the lash so it can be reshaped around the shield Yes Step 2 fixing solution Sets the lashes in their new curled shape Yes Silicone shields Set the height of the curl. You need several sizes for different lash lengths Yes Lash adhesive or glue balm Holds the lashes on the shield while the solutions work Yes Lifting brush or tool Separates and places each lash on the shield Yes Tint and developer Darkens the lashes so the lift shows up more Recommended Conditioning cream (Step 3) Restores moisture after the chemical steps Recommended Dye remover and saline Cleans tint off the skin and the shields Nice to have You'll also need consumables you probably already have: under-eye pads, micro brushes, cotton pads and cling wrap. If you're unsure about the order of the steps, see our step-by-step lash lifting process. Korean vs Traditional Lash Lift Kits The biggest choice when building a kit is the Step 1 formula. Korean lash lift systems are usually cysteamine-based. Traditional systems usually use thioglycolate. Both work. The difference is how they treat the lash and how much control you get. Korean lash lift Traditional lash lift Typical Step 1 active Cysteamine Thioglycolate Feel on the lash Gentler, less odour Stronger and faster acting Hold method Glue balm or adhesive-free Usually a lash lift adhesive Best for Fine, fragile or previously lifted lashes, and natural-looking results Coarse, straight or resistant lashes Posh Deluxe options Noemi Innovate Step 1 and Step 2 Thuya Permanent Gel (Step 1) and Neutraliser Cream (Step 2) Many artists keep both and choose for each client. If you only buy one system, a Korean kit suits more lash types and is more forgiving while you build experience. Read more in what is Korean lash lift. Glue, glue balm or no glue? The way you hold the lashes affects both speed and clean-up. Traditional lash lift glue is strong but can leave residue (see how to remove lash lift glue). Glue balms like Noemi Glue Balm give you time to adjust the lashes and wash off easily. Noemi Gooey Lash Lift Powder works with Noemi's cysteamine Step 1 and removes the need for adhesive altogether. Our guide to glue balm vs traditional adhesive compares them in detail. Build Your Own: 3 Professional Lash Lift Kits A full professional lash lift and tint kit costs between about $290 and $350 at Posh Deluxe. Each product does many treatments, and you only need to restock what runs out. Prices were correct as of October 2026. Kit item Korean kit (Noemi Innovate) Noemi Free Lift kit Traditional kit (Thuya) Step 1 Innovate Step 1 Cysteamine $49.95 Free Lift Step 1 $59.95 Thuya Permanent Gel $76.95 Step 2 Innovate Step 2 Fix $49.95 Free Lift Step 2 $59.95 Thuya Neutraliser Cream $76.95 Conditioning Noemi Argan Crème $29.95 Noemi Argan Crème $29.95 Thuya Regenerating Cream $32.95 Hold Noemi Glue Balm 25g $44.95 Noemi LashBond $39.95 Noemi LashBond $39.95 Shields Noemi Hybrid Shields, 4 pairs $39.95 Noemi Hybrid Shields $39.95 Noemi Hybrid Shields $39.95 Lifting brush Noemi Lifting Brush #0 $39.95 Noemi Lifting Brush #0 $39.95 Noemi Lifting Brush #0 $39.95 Tint Noemi Hybrid Dye $19.95 Noemi Hybrid Dye $19.95 Bronsun Hybrid Dye $24.95 Developer Noemi Developer Cream 3% $14.95 Noemi Developer Cream 3% $14.95 Bronsun Cream Developer 1.8% $18.95 Total $289.60 $304.60 $350.60 Optional add-ons: Noemi Intense Step 1.5 ($59.95) supports thin or fragile lashes during the lift. Bronsun Dye Remover ($19.95) cleans tint off the skin. One kit, two services Most of these products, including the shields, solutions, glue balm and brush, are made for both lash lifting and brow lamination. Once you have a lash lift kit, adding brow lamination to your menu costs very little. Browse the full Lash Lift range. How to Choose a Lash Lift Kit: 6 Things to Check Professional use only. Salon formulas are stronger and more controllable than home kits. Buy from a supplier that sells to trained artists. Refills sold separately. Make sure you can buy each step on its own. Otherwise you'll throw away half a kit when one bottle runs out. A range of shield sizes. One size doesn't fit every client. A mixed box lets you match the curl to each client's lash length. The right formula for your clients. If many of your clients have fine or previously lifted lashes, choose a Korean cysteamine system and consider a Step 1.5 treatment. Shelf life after opening. Check the PAO (period after opening) symbol and date your bottles when you open them. Solutions that have lost strength give weak, uneven lifts. Matching tint and developer. Use the developer made for your dye brand, at the strength the dye maker recommends. Common lash lift kit mistakes Using one shield size for everyone. Too small gives an over-curled "crimped" lash. Too big gives a weak lift. Over-processing. Leaving Step 1 on too long is the main cause of frizzy, dry lashes. Time each step according to lash thickness. Skipping the conditioning step. Aftercare cream restores moisture and helps the lift look good for longer. Skipping patch tests. Patch test new clients 24–48 hours before their first tint or lift, and keep a record. Poor aftercare advice. Give every client written instructions. Our lash lift aftercare guide covers what to tell them. Frequently Asked Questions What do you need for a lash lift kit? You need a Step 1 lifting solution, a Step 2 fixing solution, silicone shields in several sizes, a lash lift adhesive or glue balm, and a lifting brush or tool. For a lift and tint, add a hybrid dye, a matching developer and a conditioning cream. What is a Korean lash lift kit? A Korean lash lift kit uses a gentler, usually cysteamine-based Step 1 solution. It's often paired with a glue balm or an adhesive-free hold. It suits fine or fragile lashes and gives a softer, more natural lift. How much does a professional lash lift kit cost in Australia? Built from professional products at Posh Deluxe, a complete lash lift and tint kit costs about $290–$350 (October 2026 prices). Each product covers many treatments. Can I use a lash lift kit for brow lamination? Many professional lifting systems, including the Noemi and Thuya products in this guide, are made for both lash lifts and brow lamination. Always follow the manufacturer's processing times for brows, which are different from lashes. Is it better to buy a boxed lash lift kit or build your own? For professional artists, building your own is usually better. You choose the formula and shield sizes that suit your clients, and you only restock what runs out. The Bottom Line The best lash lift kit is one you build around your clients. Start with a Step 1 and Step 2 system that suits the lash types you see most. Add a range of shield sizes, a hold you're comfortable with, and a good brush. Then finish with tint and conditioning to make it a premium lift-and-tint service. Ready to build your kit?

Is a Lash & Brow Business Profitable in Australia? The Honest 2026 Guide
Yes. A lash and brow business in Australia can be very profitable, but only if you get the numbers right. Great lashing alone won't do it. Many artists end up busy but broke: fully booked, working six days a week, with little left after rent, stock and tax. The difference comes down to four things: what you charge, how often clients come back, what each appointment costs you to deliver, and how you grow beyond your own two hands. This guide breaks down the real economics of lash and brow work in Australia. It covers what you can earn, where the money goes, which business model suits you, and how to scale without burning out. It's the next step after our guide on how to start a lash business in Australia. Quick answer: most solo lash artists become profitable once they have a steady base of rebooking infill clients. For most artists, adding brow services is the fastest way to lift income without adding more hours. How Much Can a Lash and Brow Business Make? Your income depends on your service mix and how many clients rebook. Here's an example week for a solo artist working four days, using typical mid-market Australian prices. Service Example price Per week Weekly revenue Classic or hybrid full set $180 3 $540 Infill (2–3 weeks) $75 18 $1,350 Lash lift and tint $95 4 $380 Brow lamination $85 5 $425 Total 30 clients $2,695 Over 48 working weeks, that's about $129,000 a year in revenue. That's not profit, but it shows how the model works. Infills are the engine of the business Full sets bring clients in. Infills keep the business alive. In the example above, infills make up half of all revenue. A client who rebooks every three weeks is worth about 17 infills a year, around $1,275, plus referrals. That's why retention matters so much commercially. If your sets don't last, clients leave or ask for a new full set, and your calendar never settles. See our guide to 15 common lash retention killers. Brows lift the value of every booking Brow lamination and lash lifts are quick and use little product. They're easy to add on to an existing lash appointment. A lash client who adds a brow service increases that visit's value by 50% or more without needing a new client. Our Brows and Lash Lift ranges cover everything you need to add them to your menu. What Does It Cost to Run a Lash and Brow Business? In our example, the artist keeps roughly $85,000 before income tax out of $129,000 in revenue, a margin of about 66%. That's strong for a service business. Here's where the rest goes. Cost (per year) Example amount Notes GST (1/11 of GST-inclusive prices) $11,760 Registration is compulsory once turnover reaches $75,000 Room rental $12,000 About $250 a week. $0 for a home studio, more for a shopfront Lashes, adhesive, lift and brow products $11,000 About 8–10% of revenue. Buying wholesale keeps this down Card and booking fees $2,300 About 1.5–2% of revenue Marketing $2,400 Instagram ads, Google Business Profile, referral rewards Accountant $1,500 Education and advanced training $1,500 Insurance $900 Public liability and professional indemnity Booking software $600 Total $43,960 Tax and registration basics ABN: you need one to trade as a sole trader or company. GST: once your annual turnover hits $75,000, you must register and charge GST. Many busy solo artists pass this point without realising it, so plan your prices for it. Income tax: set aside around 25–30% of profit for tax. Your accountant will give you the exact figure. Council rules: some councils require beauty businesses to register or be inspected, especially home studios. Check with your local council before you open. Product cost is small but it matters Product is only about 8–10% of revenue, but it's the cost you control the most. Cheap adhesive or lashes that don't retain cost far more in redos and lost clients than they save. Buying professional-grade supplies wholesale gives you both quality and margin. Our guide to wholesale lash supplies in Australia explains how. Which Business Model Is Most Profitable? A home studio usually gives the best margin. A salon with staff gives the highest income ceiling. Most artists move through these models in stages. Model Setup cost Ongoing overheads Profit margin Income ceiling Best for Home studio Low Lowest Highest Your own hours New artists building a client base Mobile Lowest Low, plus travel time Medium Limited by travel Bridal, events, regional areas Room or booth rental Low to medium Weekly rent Medium to high Your own hours Artists who want a professional space Salon with staff High Rent, wages, super Lower per client Highest Experienced artists ready to lead a team For a deeper comparison, read Lash Studio vs Mobile Lashing vs Booth Rental. Is Scaling a Lash and Brow Business Profitable? Scaling is profitable when you grow the value of each client before you grow your team. The order matters. Hiring before your systems and pricing are solid usually means working harder for less. Raise your prices to match demand. If you're booked out more than two weeks ahead, you're probably undercharging. Our guide on when to raise your lash prices shows how to do it without losing clients. Add brow and lift services. Brow lamination, lash lifts and tinting bring in more per hour and are easy to add to an existing booking. Lash faster without cutting corners. Pre-made fans save a lot of time on volume sets. Swapping some handmade fans for Promade Fans can free up an extra client slot each day. Protect your retention. Good retention means reliable infill bookings and a steadier calendar. Use a quality primer, adhesive suited to your room's humidity, and clear aftercare instructions. Build a rebooking habit. Book each client's next infill before they leave the chair. It's the single cheapest way to keep your calendar full. Hire or rent out chairs once you're turning clients away. With staff, you earn a margin on their appointments rather than your own. Budget for wages, training time and the Super Guarantee (12% of ordinary earnings). Renting a chair to another artist is a lower-risk first step. Buy supplies wholesale. As your volume grows, buying in bulk can lift your margin by several percentage points. Still building your client base? Start with how to get lash clients as a beginner. 6 Things That Quietly Kill Lash Business Profit Underpricing to compete. Being the cheapest option attracts price-shoppers who don't rebook. No-shows with no deposit. One empty two-hour slot a week adds up to thousands of dollars a year. Take deposits and enforce your cancellation policy. Free fixes for poor retention. If lashes don't last, you end up redoing work for free. Fix the cause: prep, isolation, adhesive and humidity. Forgetting GST. Passing $75,000 in turnover without planning for GST means about 9% of your revenue goes to the ATO. Slow appointments. A full set that takes three and a half hours earns much less per hour than one done in two and a half, at the same price. Buying cheap stock. Poor-quality lashes and adhesive cost you in retention, redos and your reputation. Frequently Asked Questions Is a lash business profitable in Australia? Yes. With a steady base of rebooking infill clients, a solo lash artist can keep well over half of their revenue as profit. The biggest factors are pricing, retention and keeping overheads low. How much does a lash tech earn in Australia? It varies widely with location, experience and hours. A busy solo artist working four days a week at mid-market prices can bring in more than $100,000 in revenue a year. Take-home pay after costs and tax will be lower. Is it worth adding brows to a lash business? For most artists, yes. Brow lamination and tinting are quick, use little product, and are easy to add to an existing lash appointment. That lifts the value of each visit without needing new clients. Do I need to register for GST as a lash artist? You must register for GST once your annual turnover reaches $75,000. Speak to your accountant about the right time to register. What is the most profitable lash business model? A home studio usually has the best profit margin because overheads are low. A salon with staff has the highest income ceiling, but it takes more capital and management. The Bottom Line A lash and brow business in Australia is profitable when it's built on rebooking clients, fair prices and efficient appointments. Get those right before you scale. Adding brow services, lashing faster with pre-made fans, and buying quality supplies wholesale will do more for your profit than simply taking on more hours.

Why Are My Lash Extensions Falling Out So Fast? 12 Causes and How to Fix Them (2026)
You walked out of the salon with a perfect set. A few days later, you find lashes on your pillow, in the sink, and on your cheek, and the set already looks patchy. It is one of the most common worries lash clients have, and one of the most common questions we get. The good news is that some shedding is completely normal, and when it is not normal, the cause is almost always something you or your artist can fix. This guide explains how much shedding to expect, the 12 most common reasons extensions fall out early, and what to do about each one. First: How Much Shedding Is Normal? Lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes. When a natural lash reaches the end of its growth cycle, it falls out, and the extension goes with it. That is not a retention problem. It is just your body doing what it always does. Most people naturally shed somewhere between 1 and 5 lashes per eye each day. You never noticed before because natural lashes are short and fine. With an extension attached, each one is longer and darker, so every shed lash is much easier to spot. What you notice Is it normal? What it usually means A few lashes a day, each with a natural lash (small dark bulb at the end) Yes Normal growth cycle shedding Set looks about 30–50% thinner at 2–3 weeks Yes Time for an infill Extensions falling out with NO natural lash attached No The bond failed (adhesive, prep or aftercare issue) Lots of lashes lost in the first 48 hours No Usually adhesive, humidity or first-day aftercare Natural lashes falling out in clumps or looking broken No Stop and see a qualified artist straight away Quick check you can do at home: Look at a lash that has fallen out. If there is a tiny dark bulb at the base, your natural lash shed with it, which is normal. If the extension has a little blob of dried glue but no natural lash, the bond failed, and that is what the causes below will help you fix. The 12 Most Common Reasons Lash Extensions Fall Out Early We have split these into things that happen at home and things that happen in the salon. In our experience, it is usually a mix of both. Causes at Home (Aftercare) 1. Getting them wet too soon Most lash adhesives take up to 24 hours to fully cure. Steam, sweat, swimming, a hot shower or a sauna in that first day can weaken the bond before it has set properly. Fix: keep lashes dry for the first 24 hours unless your artist tells you otherwise. After that, water is fine. 2. Oil-based skincare and makeup remover Oil breaks down lash adhesive. Cleansing oils, micellar waters with oil, eye creams, heavy moisturisers and even oily sunscreen near the eyes can loosen the bond over time. Fix: switch to oil-free products around the eyes and keep creams below the orbital bone. 3. Not washing your lashes It sounds backwards, but lashes that are never washed fall out faster. Oil, makeup and dead skin build up at the base and break down the adhesive. Fix: wash your lashes every day or two with a lash-safe foaming cleanser and a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry. 4. Rubbing, pulling and picking Rubbing your eyes, pulling at a lash that feels loose, or picking at clumps is the fastest way to lose extensions and damage your natural lashes at the same time. Fix: if something feels uncomfortable, brush it gently or book a quick check with your artist. Never pull. 5. Sleeping face-down Pressing your face into the pillow every night bends and twists the extensions, which loosens them and causes crossed or "wonky" lashes. Fix: try to sleep on your back or side. A silk pillowcase or a contoured sleep mask helps. 6. Mascara, lash curlers and waterproof makeup Regular mascara clumps extensions together and is hard to remove without rubbing. Mechanical lash curlers can snap the bond. Waterproof formulas usually need an oil-based remover. Fix: skip mascara and curlers. If you want eyeliner, use a water-based, extension-safe formula. Causes in the Salon (Application) 7. The adhesive did not suit the room humidity Lash glue cures using moisture in the air. If the room is too dry, the glue cures too slowly and the bond is weak. If it is too humid, it cures too fast before it fully grips. This is one of the biggest reasons for early fallout, especially in Australian summers and winters. What your artist should do: check the room with a hygrometer and choose an adhesive that matches the conditions. 8. Lashes were not cleaned and primed properly Natural lashes carry oil, makeup and skin residue. If they are not cleansed and primed before application, the adhesive sticks to that layer instead of the lash. 9. Extensions that are too long or too heavy An extension that is much longer or thicker than your natural lash acts like a lever. It twists the natural lash and pulls it out early, often before its natural shed date. 10. Poor isolation (stuck lashes) When two or more natural lashes are glued together, they cannot grow and shed on their own schedules. When one grows, it pulls on the other, which is uncomfortable and causes both to fall out early. 11. Too little bond area or old adhesive The extension needs to be attached along a few millimetres of the natural lash. A tiny tip-only bond, or adhesive that has been open too long and lost strength, will not hold for weeks. Lash artists: our 15 Common Lash Retention Killers guide goes into each of these in detail. Causes From Your Body 12. Your natural shedding cycle, hormones and health Some clients naturally shed more at certain times. Seasonal shedding, pregnancy and post-partum changes, some medications, thyroid issues, stress and illness can all affect how long natural lashes stay in. Oily skin can also shorten retention. Fix: let your artist know about any changes at your consultation so she can adjust adhesive, lash weight and your infill timing. How to Make Your Lash Extensions Last Longer: A Simple Checklist Keep them dry for the first 24 hours. Wash them every day or two with a lash-safe foaming cleanser. Brush them through gently each morning with a clean spoolie. Use oil-free makeup remover and skincare around the eyes. Skip mascara, lash curlers and waterproof eye makeup. Sleep on your back or side if you can. Do not rub, pull or pick. Book a quick fix instead. Book infills every 2–3 weeks so the set never gets too sparse. Tell your artist about new medications, pregnancy or skin changes. For the full routine, read our Eyelash Extension Aftercare: The Complete Australian Guide. When to Go Back to Your Artist Contact your lash artist if: You have lost a lot of extensions in the first 2–3 days without a natural lash attached. The set looks very patchy within the first week. Lashes feel stuck together, pull, or are uncomfortable. Your eyes are red, itchy, swollen or watery. This could be irritation or a reaction and should be checked straight away. Most good salons will check a set within the first few days and fix any early fallout. Letting your artist know also helps her work out whether the cause is the adhesive, the room conditions, the application or your aftercare, so your next set lasts longer. Frequently Asked Questions Is it normal for lash extensions to fall out after 1 week? Losing a few lashes a day from the first week is normal, because natural lashes shed all the time. Losing a large part of the set in the first week is not normal and is usually an adhesive, humidity or aftercare issue. When do lash extensions start falling out? Some natural shedding starts within the first few days. Most people notice the set thinning at around 2 weeks, and by 3 weeks it is usually time for an infill. How can I tell if it is my natural lash or the extension falling off? Look at the base. A tiny dark bulb means your natural lash shed with the extension, which is normal. A small blob of glue with no natural lash means the bond failed. Can I reuse or glue back extensions that fell out? No. Never try to glue lashes back on at home. Home lash glues are not made for extensions and can irritate the eye or damage your natural lashes. Book a short fix appointment instead. Do extensions fall out faster in summer or winter? Both can affect retention. Hot, humid weather means more sweat and oil, and the adhesive can cure too quickly. Dry winter air and heaters can slow curing and make the bond brittle. A good artist adjusts her adhesive for the season. Will my natural lashes fall out because of extensions? Not when they are applied correctly. Extensions fall out with your natural lashes on their normal cycle. Damage only happens with extensions that are too heavy, lashes glued together, or pulling and picking. The Bottom Line Some lash shedding is normal. Every natural lash has its own life cycle, and extensions go with them when they shed. But if your set is falling out in the first few days, or the fallen lashes have no natural lash attached, something is weakening the bond. Most of the time the fix is simple: better first-day care, oil-free products, regular cleansing, and an artist who matches her adhesive to the room and uses the right lash weight for you. Get those right and most clients easily get a full 2–3 weeks between infills.
