Signs It’s Time for a Lash Infill

If you’re a regular lash extension wearer, you’ll know there’s nothing better than the feeling of fresh, full lashes. But as the weeks go by, you might start to notice your set looking a little less lush - and that’s completely normal!

Lash extensions naturally shed with your own lashes, and to keep them looking their best, regular infills are a must. Wondering when it’s time to book your next appointment? Here are the top signs you need a lash infill.

 

1. Your Lashes Are Starting to Look Sparse

One of the clearest signs you’re due for an infill is when your lashes start to look a bit patchy or uneven.
As your natural lashes fall out (taking extensions with them), gaps can appear, especially on the outer corners where lashes are often more delicate.

Tip:
Don’t wait until you're nearly bare - it’s much easier to maintain your lash line with regular infills rather than starting over.

 

2. It’s Been 2–3 Weeks Since Your Last Appointment

Most lash artists recommend infills every 2 to 3 weeks.
This timing keeps your lashes looking consistently full and fresh while also protecting the health of your natural lashes.

Why the time matters:

• Too early, and you may not have shed enough lashes to justify an infill.

• Too late, and you might need a full new set instead of a simple touch-up.

 

3. Your Lashes Are Growing Out

As your natural lashes grow, so do the extensions attached to them.
Over time, you might notice some lashes sitting lower or twisting in different directions. This can make your lash line look messy or even feel uncomfortable.

A professional infill will safely remove overgrown lashes and replace them, keeping everything neat and balanced.

 

4. You’ve Had Increased Lash Shedding

Lash shedding is a natural part of your lash cycle, but certain factors - like changes in season, stress, hormones, or even skincare products - can speed it up.
If you’ve recently noticed more lash loss than usual, it’s a good idea to book an infill a little earlier than usual.

 

5. Your Lash Set Has Lost Its Shape

Whether you’ve chosen a cat-eye, doll-eye, or wispy set, every lash style relies on structure and shape.
As your lashes shed unevenly, you might lose the definition of your original look.

Booking an infill helps restore the shape, making sure your lashes continue to flatter your eyes perfectly.

 

Why Regular Infills Matter

Infills aren't just about appearances - they’re also about maintaining the health of your natural lashes.
Letting too many extensions grow out can cause extra weight on your lashes, leading to premature shedding or damage.

Keeping up with your infills ensures:

• A full, even lash line

• Better retention

• Healthier natural lashes underneath

 

If you want to keep your lash extensions looking flawless and natural, regular infills are non-negotiable.
By watching for these signs and staying on top of your appointments, you’ll enjoy gorgeous, long-lasting lashes without the hassle.
