Shedding Seasons: Is It Real? All About Spring & Autumn Lash Shedding

The Truth About Seasonal Lash Shedding

As a lash artist with almost a decade of experience, I can confidently say that spring and autumn lash shedding are real phenomena, not an excuse for poor lash retention. This natural process affects humans much like other animals, albeit to a lesser degree.

Understanding Seasonal Lash Shedding

Just as animals shed their coats to adapt to changing seasons, humans experience a similar process with their eyelashes. While it's less noticeable for those without lash extensions, clients with extensions may observe more frequent lash loss during these periods.

Educating Clients

It's crucial to inform clients about seasonal lash shedding to manage expectations. Consider sending newsletters, social media posts, and text messages explaining the process and reassuring them that it's temporary, typically lasting 3-4 weeks.

Managing Lash Shedding Season

Here are some tips to help your clients through the shedding season:

• Schedule more frequent refills/infills

• Use lighter extensions to accommodate weaker natural lashes

• Recommend lash serums to strengthen natural lashes and prevent too much shedding

• Keep detailed client notes to prepare for future shedding seasons

By understanding and properly managing seasonal lash shedding, both lash artists and clients can maintain beautiful lashes year-round!
