If you’re a lash extension lover, you may have noticed that your lashes don’t always behave the same throughout the year. Just like your skin and hair can change with the seasons, your natural lashes go through cycles too. One of the biggest seasonal shifts happens during the spring and autumn lash shed—and it can have a noticeable effect on your lash extensions.

At Beyond Lashes in Chesterfield, we’re here to help you understand what’s going on with your lashes during these transitional times and how to maintain your stunning lash look all year long.

What Is the Lash Shed?
The lash growth cycle consists of three phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition phase), and telogen (resting/shedding phase). This cycle happens all year round, but during spring and autumn, many people experience a natural increase in lash shedding. This is similar to how animals shed fur with the changing weather.

So, what causes this seasonal shift? Factors like temperature, humidity, and daylight hours can all play a role in how your body regulates hair growth. In spring, your body is adjusting from the cold, dry winter into warmer months, and in autumn, it’s preparing for the colder season ahead. These shifts can trigger your body to shed more lashes than usual.

How Does This Affect Lash Extensions?
Since lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes, when those natural lashes shed, the extensions go with them. During the spring and autumn lash shed, you may notice that your extensions don’t seem to last as long or that you’re losing more lashes than normal between appointments.

This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your lashes or your lash artist—it’s simply your body doing what it naturally does. However, it does mean that your usual lash maintenance routine might need a little tweaking during these periods.

The Importance of Regular Infills During Lash Shed Seasons
To keep your lash extensions looking full and fabulous during spring and autumn, regular infills become more important than ever. At Beyond Lashes, we recommend booking infills every 2–3 weeks as a general rule, but during lash shed seasons, you may need to come in a little sooner or more frequently to maintain your desired look.

Infills help replace the extensions lost with your natural lash cycle, keeping your set looking even, lush, and fresh. Skipping infills during high-shed seasons can result in gaps or sparse areas, which can impact the overall effect of your lash extensions.

Your lash artist at Beyond Lashes in Chesterfield can also help adjust the style, length, or weight of your extensions to better suit your current lash condition, ensuring your lashes stay healthy and your look stays flawless.

Tips for Managing the Lash Shed
Here are a few simple ways to support your lashes during the spring and autumn seasons:

• Stick to a consistent infill schedule to prevent sparse spots.
• Avoid excessive rubbing or touching your eyes, which can increase shedding.
• Keep your lashes clean with a gentle, oil-free lash cleanser to promote a healthy lash line.
• Consider lash serums or nourishing treatments to support stronger natural lashes.
