✨ Why Your Lashes Are Falling Out (and It's Totally Normal!)

Let me guess—you’re lying in bed, scrolling your phone, and you spot a little lash on your pillow. Then another in the sink. You start to panic:

“Did my lash tech mess up?” “Am I losing them too fast?”

💗 Breathe, beautiful. It might just be lash shedding season—and it’s totally normal.

🍂 What Is Lash Shedding Season?

Twice a year, your body does a little seasonal “spring cleaning”. yep, even your lashes. As the weather shifts in autumn and spring, you may notice more lashes falling out. Why? Because your natural lash cycle speeds up!

🌬️ Cold winds, dry air, and even changes in sunlight affect your skin and hair follicles, including your lashes.

Important: It’s not a sign of bad lash application or poor care. It’s just nature doing its thing.

🔄 Lash Growth 101: Quick Breakdown

Your lashes follow a natural growth cycle with 3 stages:

1. Anagen – growing phase

2. Catagen – transition phase

3. Telogen – shedding phase

💥 During shedding season, more lashes enter the “telogen” phase at once. 

That’s why they fall out in groups, and yes, your extensions go with them.

💬 What I’m Seeing in the Salon Right Now

I’ve had so many clients come in this month saying:

“My lashes are falling out what’s happening?!”

And they’re not imagining it. With Melbourne’s weather getting colder, lash shedding is real right now. ❄️

But here’s the silver lining...✨ I’m also seeing lots of baby lashes growing through!

That’s actually a great sign that your lash cycle is healthy and active. During this time, I often recommend:

🔹 Shorter lengths🔹 Thinner lashes🔹 Less volume

💖 These lighter sets help protect your new growth and give baby lashes space to thrive!
