The durability of false eyelashes varies depending on the type of false eyelashes and how they are used and maintained. Here are the details:
- Single-use false eyelashes: These are designed to be used once. They are typically made of relatively inexpensive materials and are not intended to withstand multiple applications and removals. After one use, the adhesive loses its effectiveness, and the lashes may become deformed or damaged, so they are usually discarded.
- Reusable false eyelashes:
- Synthetic fiber reusable false eyelashes: With proper care, synthetic fiber false eyelashes can generally be used 8 to 15 times. Synthetic materials are relatively durable and can maintain their shape well if cleaned and stored properly after each use.
- Natural fiber reusable false eyelashes: False eyelashes made of natural fibers such as mink hair or silk are more delicate. If cared for carefully, they can be used 5 to 10 times. Natural fibers are more prone to damage from improper handling, so gentle cleaning and storage are required to prolong their lifespan.
- Semi-permanent false eyelashes:
- Well-maintained semi-permanent false eyelashes: Semi-permanent false eyelashes are usually attached to the natural eyelashes one by one using professional adhesive. Under normal circumstances, they can last 2 to 4 weeks. During this period, they will gradually fall off as the natural eyelashes grow and shed.
- Poorly maintained semi-permanent false eyelashes: If you don't take good care of them, for example, if you frequently rub your eyes, get them wet, or expose them to harsh chemicals, they may fall off earlier, perhaps within 1 to 2 weeks.
