Why Outer Corner Lashes Shed Faster

Understanding Lash Extension Shedding

Have you ever wondered why your lash extensions tend to fall out faster at the outer corners of your eyes?

In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons behind this common occurrence and explore how you can prolong the life of your lash extensions.

Outer corner lashes are often shorter and thinner than those in other areas of the lash line. This inherent characteristic makes them more susceptible to shedding prematurely. Additionally, the downward slope of the eye at the outer corners exerts pressure on these lashes, further contributing to their insecurity.

Moreover, the number of neighboring lashes plays a crucial role in the longevity of lash extensions. Lashes protect each other, forming a protective "wall." The more lash neighbors a lash extension has, the better it tends to stay in place. However, when lashes start falling out, this protective barrier weakens, leading to instability and potential twitching of lash extensions.

Furthermore, longer lash extensions can exacerbate shedding as they are heavier for the natural lashes to support. This added weight puts additional strain on the lashes, hastening their shedding process.

To mitigate the shedding of outer corner lashes and prolong the life of your lash extensions, consider these tips:

1. Opt for shorter and lighter lash extensions at the outer corners to minimize strain on the natural lashes.
2. Practice gentle cleansing techniques to remove oil buildup and debris that can weaken lash extensions.
3. Avoid sleeping on your side or with your face pressed against the pillow to prevent unnecessary friction and pressure on the lashes.
4. Schedule regular touch-up appointments to maintain the integrity of your lash extensions and address any shedding issues promptly.

By understanding the factors contributing to outer corner lash shedding, you can take proactive steps to preserve the beauty and longevity of your lash extensions. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy fluttery lashes that enhance your natural beauty for weeks to come.
