WELCOME TO LW LASHES!
The lifespan of false eyelashes depends on multiple factors, such as their type, quality, usage frequency, and how well they're maintained. Here's a breakdown:
Strip Lashes
Low - Quality Strip Lashes: These are often made from inexpensive synthetic materials. They may only last for 2 - 5 uses. The hairs can easily fall out, and the band may lose its flexibility quickly, especially if not handled carefully. For example, lashes bought from a dollar store might start to shed after just a couple of applications.
Mid - Quality Strip Lashes: Usually made from better - quality synthetic fibers or a blend, mid - quality strip lashes can last for 5 - 10 uses. With proper care, like gentle removal and cleaning, they can maintain their shape and fullness for a reasonable number of wears.
High - Quality Strip Lashes: High - end strip lashes, often made from natural materials like mink or high - grade synthetic fibers, can last 10 - 20 times. They are more durable, with hairs that are securely attached, and the bands are more flexible and long - lasting.
Individual Lashes
Low - Quality Individual Lashes: These may last for 3 - 5 applications. They are more prone to breakage during removal and can be difficult to reuse due to their small size and the fragility of the adhesive bond.
High - Quality Individual Lashes: High - quality individual lashes can be reused 5 - 10 times. They are typically made from better materials and are more resistant to damage during application and removal.
Lash Extensions
Semi - Permanent Lash Extensions: These are applied one by one to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. They can last for 2 - 4 weeks. As your natural lashes go through their growth cycle and shed, the extensions will gradually fall out. Regular touch - ups every 2 - 3 weeks are usually needed to maintain a full look.
To maximize the lifespan of false eyelashes, always remove them gently, clean them after each use to remove glue and makeup residue, and store them in a clean, dry container.
