Lash Refill 101 – What It Is, Why You Need It & When to Book It
Lash Refill 101 – What It Is, Why You Need It & When to Book It
You’ve just gotten your beautiful new lash extensions, and they’re making your eyes pop without any mascara or liner- effortless beauty at its best. But a couple of weeks pass, and suddenly… there are gaps, a few lashes twist, and that perfect fullness starts to fade.
This is totally normal- and exactly why lash refills exist.
At Lashcara Lash Clinic, many clients ask us:
“What exactly is a lash refill? Is it different from a fill? And how often should I get one?”
Let’s break it down clearly and simply.
💁♀️ What Is a Lash Refill?
A lash refill is a maintenance appointment for your lash extensions. It keeps them looking full, fresh, and even- just like your first day.
During a refill, we:
- Clean your lash line
- Remove grown-out or twisted lashes
- Replace extensions that fell out with your natural lash cycle
- Refill the gaps with new, customized lashes
This helps maintain your look without having to start all over with a full set.
🔁 Is a Lash Refill the Same as a Lash Fill?
Yes- they’re the same thing!
Some people call it a lash fill, others say refill — but both mean the same process: topping up your lash extensions after some have shed.
At Lashcara, we use both terms interchangeably — and we know exactly what you mean.
🧬 Why Do You Need Refills?
Because your natural lashes shed every day!
On average, you lose 2–5 natural lashes daily as part of your natural lash cycle. And since each extension is attached to a single natural lash, it will fall out with it. That’s normal.
After about 2–3 weeks, this natural shedding causes:
- Gaps in your lash line
- Uneven fullness
- Extensions to sit at odd angles
That’s when a refill brings your lashes back to their best.
⏰ What If You Miss the 3-Week Refill Window?
We totally understand- life gets busy! But here’s why it’s important not to wait too long:
❗ 1. More Gaps, Less Volume
The longer you wait, the more lashes you naturally lose- which creates visible gaps and patchiness. This affects the full, fluffy look you started with.
❗ 2. More Time & Work
With more grown-out lashes to remove and more new ones to apply, your refill will take longer than usual.
❗ 3. More Cost
If more than 50% of your lashes are gone, your appointment may no longer qualify as a “refill” and instead be considered a full set, since we have to rebuild the entire look.
🕒 When Should You Book a Refill?
To keep your lashes looking fresh, full, and fabulous, we recommend:
- Booking your refill every 2 to 3 weeks
- Pre-booking your next refill before you leave your current appointment
- Reaching out sooner if you’re seeing more than usual shedding
This timing helps protect your natural lashes, keeps your extensions long-lasting, and saves you money over time.

💡 A Note About Refills on Work Done Elsewhere
We understand that many clients come to Lashcara after having their lash extensions applied at another salon. While we always do our best to help, there are times when the existing lash work may not meet the safety or quality standards required for a proper refill.
In such cases, we may recommend starting fresh with a new set to ensure the best results and protect the health of your natural lashes.
