Losing a few lashes is natural, but when extensions fall out unevenly – such as more on one eye or in specific areas – it can quickly become noticeable and unappealing. Many clients wonder: What causes this? Is the technique to blame? Or improper aftercare? At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we analyze the most common reasons for uneven lash loss after extensions and show how to avoid the issue.

Natural Lash Cycle: The Most Common Factor

Each natural lash goes through three growth phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Extensions are applied to lashes that are all in different phases. This means that some extensions will fall out sooner than others depending on where the lash is in its growth cycle. So, uneven shedding is often completely natural – not a technical fault.

Common Causes of Uneven Lash Loss

1. Inadequate Aftercare by the Client
Oily cleansers, rubbing the eyes, or sleeping face-down can compromise retention. Especially if you tend to sleep on one side, lash loss may be more noticeable on that side.

2. Improper Use of Cosmetic Products
Eye creams, lash serums, or makeup removers with oils and silicones can weaken the lash adhesive – often affecting only one eye due to uneven product application.

3. Allergies or Skin Irritations
Sensitive skin or allergic reactions to lash glue or other products can cause lashes to fall out more in certain areas. Seasonal allergies like hay fever may also lead to increased eye rubbing, resulting in uneven lash loss.

4. Incorrect Application Technique
In rare cases, uneven lash shedding is caused by poor application. For example, applying heavy volume fans to thin natural lashes can cause breakage. At MONLIS Studio, we ensure that every extension is tailored to the natural lash’s strength and length.

What to Do About Uneven Lash Loss?

Keep Regular Refill Appointments:
We recommend refills every 2–3 weeks at MONLIS Studio to maintain a balanced and full lash look, compensating for natural shedding.

Follow Aftercare Instructions Carefully:
Avoid oil-based products, don’t rub your eyes, and clean your lashes regularly with a lash-safe shampoo. Our lash technicians provide full aftercare guidance after every appointment.

Review Your Sleeping Position:
If you always lose more lashes on one side, try adjusting your sleep habits – sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
