Eyelash extensions are one of the most popular beauty treatments at MONLIS Studio in Munich. They instantly create an expressive look and save time in your daily makeup routine. But how long do the extensions really last? Why do they remain intact for four weeks for some clients and only two for others? In this article, we explain the key factors that influence the durability of eyelash extensions – and how to get the most out of your look.

1. Quality of Materials Used

At MONLIS Studio, we use only high-quality, allergy-tested adhesives and silk, mink, or synthetic lashes. The glue used is crucial – low-quality adhesives can crumble more quickly or cause allergic reactions that lead to premature lash loss.

2. Technique and Experience of the Lash Stylist

Application technique is another key factor. Our certified lash stylists at MONLIS Studio work with precision. Each extension is applied to a single natural lash – with no contact with the skin or clumping of adjacent lashes. Proper isolation ensures that your natural lashes stay healthy and don’t fall out prematurely.

3. Condition of the Natural Lashes

Not all natural lashes are equally strong. Thin, short, or damaged lashes can’t hold extensions as long as healthy, resilient ones. Before the treatment, we perform a detailed lash analysis at MONLIS Studio and tailor the extension length and thickness to each individual.

4. Aftercare

How you care for your lashes after the appointment significantly affects how long they last. Here are a few important tips:

• Avoid water and steam for at least 24 hours after application.

• Use oil-free products, especially makeup removers and creams.

• Do not rub or pull, even when removing makeup.

• Brush regularly with a clean lash brush to maintain shape.

Our stylists will provide detailed aftercare instructions after your appointment at MONLIS Studio – following them consistently is essential.

5. Hormonal Influences and Natural Lash Cycles

The natural lash growth cycle (anagen, catagen, and telogen phases) varies from person to person. During hormonally intense phases – such as pregnancy or menstruation – this cycle may speed up, leading to quicker shedding of the extensions.

6. Lifestyle and External Factors

External influences such as heat, humidity, tanning beds, swimming in chlorinated water, or frequent sauna visits can weaken the adhesive bond. Those who work out regularly and sweat a lot should take special care with lash maintenance.

7. Medications and Health Conditions

Certain medications (e.g., hormonal treatments, antibiotics) can affect oil production or lash growth. Stress and lack of sleep also impact the regeneration of hair follicles – and thus the durability of your lash extensions.

The longevity of eyelash extensions depends on many factors – some you can control, others you can’t. The key is trusting a professional studio with high standards and quality products. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we prioritize hygiene, precision, and personalized consultations so that your lashes are not only beautiful but also long-lasting.
