During certain times of the year, your lashes might go through an increase in shedding, especially in the late fall months. This common phenomenon is known as seasonal shedding.

Why does this happen and why during this time of year?
The exact cause of seasonal shedding is unclear, but some studies confirm that seasonal lash shedding occurs most often during the fall months, such as September and October.
Why in the Fall?
Research shows that certain things that happen during the summer months likely play a role in why and how we shed more hair and lashes in the fall.
- During summer, intense heat may trigger more lash hairs to go into the resting phase, suppressing further growth and stopping the lifecycle. This means that all the “resting” lashes during summer are ready to fall out over the next month or two in autumn.
- In the summer months, when our follicle in the lash line collects more sweat, sebum, and makeup debris than other seasons, there is a higher chance that the dirt and sweat block the pores and suffocate the natural lashes. This blockage can suppress the growth of lashes in the growth phase, accelerating the lifecycle of the lash and resulting in severe lash fallout in autumn.
An influx of lash loss may mean that a regular lash refill may not replace all lost lashes, Adding a 10 or 20 extra lashes at your next refill might be needed to completely fill in your gaps. Ask your stylist if a sealer would help increase your retention in the fall/winter months.
