Your natural eyelashes fall off every 60 – 120 days due to the natural growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a a new eyelash. Other factors such as exposure to steam or touching your eyes may cause the extensions to fall sooner.

A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that have fallen out and to fill in on the new growth. Touchups will vary from individual to individual and depend on your natural eyelash cycle as well as how you take care of your extended lashes.

Most touchups are between 2 -4 wells. When you come in for regular touchups, you should normally have at least 50% of your lash extensions still attached. If you wait too long many of your extensions may fall off and you will need to have the full set re-applied. Touchups usually last approximately 45 minutes.

The overall look of the lashes is very natural.
