It's recommended that you get infills every three weeks if you have classic eyelash extensions – to keep them looking at their very best – although Russian styles tend to last a bit longer. It can also vary depending on the material used, which you can read about in detail in our guide to eyelash extensions.

Your beautician will be able to tell you more about the eyelashes they use specifically and how long they recommend waiting in between appointments.

When you first get eyelash extensions, you should avoid going to the gym or showering for the first 12 hours. This ensures the glue used is fully dried and not disturbed by water or sweat. Avoid getting shampoo, makeup, body wash, and oils into your lashes too, as this can cause the glue to break down quicker.

Many people believe that extensions cause your lashes to fall out quicker or become thinner, but this is actually a myth. Eyelash extensions are fairly lightweight and are applied on top of your own lashes – as you can read in our guide. As long as you do not tug or pull on the extensions, there is no reason why they would affect your eyelashes.
