Why Do Eyelashes Shed More in Autumn?

Early autumn is a challenging time for the body. Many people notice not only increased lash shedding but also weakened hair, duller skin or a general drop in energy. But what exactly causes these changes?

1. Hormonal fluctuations

When summer ends and the weather turns cold, gloomy and windy, the level of serotonin (the happiness hormone) decreases. At the same time, melatonin, which regulates sleep, increases.
As a result, we feel more tired, less motivated, and this impacts the condition of our hair, skin, nails… and eyelashes.

2. Fewer vitamins in the diet

In summer, our diet naturally includes more fresh, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables. Sunlight also provides us with valuable vitamin D.
In autumn, our diet tends to change, the days get shorter, and the body may become weakened.

Recommend to your clients:
✔ vitamin D supplementation
✔ biotin – a key support for strong hair, skin and nails

3. Changing weather conditions

Less sunlight, lower temperatures, stronger wind and dry air from indoor heating all make eyelashes more brittle and prone to breakage.

If your client notices increased shedding, explain why it happens and suggest ways to support their lashes during this time.

Lash Extensions in Autumn – What to Pay Attention To

Autumn doesn’t have to be a challenge for lash styling, as long as you adjust your work to the condition of the natural lashes.

1. Analyse the condition of the natural lashes

If you notice that the lashes are weakened, dry or brittle, avoid overloading them. Choose lighter sets and softer styling.

2. Offer shorter refill intervals

Recommend that your client comes for a refill every 2–3 weeks. This helps maintain a beautiful effect even during periods of increased shedding.

3. Prioritise lash aftercare

In autumn, remind clients how important proper cleansing is. Encourage daily care using gentle, lash-safe products.

Recommend:
✔ an oil-free makeup remover suitable for extensions
✔ a strengthening lash shampoo with natural ingredients

4. Monitor salon conditions

Autumn marks the start of the heating season, which means dry, warm air — something that significantly affects lash adhesive performance.
Use a hygrometer to regularly check humidity and temperature to choose an adhesive suitable for your salon conditions.
