Lash Anatomy

Why This Matters for Extensions: Understanding lash anatomy is crucial because extensions should only be applied to lashes in the anagen phase for best retention. The natural shedding cycle (losing 1-5 lashes per day) is why regular refills every 2-3 weeks are necessary. Proper weight distribution based on natural lash strength prevents damage to the follicle and ensures healthy lash growth continues.This anatomical knowledge helps explain why skilled technicians assess each individual lash before application and why aftercare is so important for maintaining both extension and natural lash health.
