How long does the eyelash growth cycle take?

The duration of the eyelash growth cycle is typically around 30 to 60 days. This cycle can be divided into three main phases: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (transition) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. During the anagen phase, which is when the eyelashes are actively growing, the hairs can be retained for several weeks, which accounts for the 30 to 60-day timeline. Understanding this cycle is crucial for lash technicians because it affects how clients will maintain their extensions and the timing of touch-ups. Insight into the growth cycle helps in managing client expectations regarding the longevity and appearance of their eyelash extensions.
