How long does the eyelash growth cycle typically last?

The typical eyelash growth cycle lasts about 30 to 60 days. During this cycle, lashes transition through several phases: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (transitional) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. In the anagen phase, lashes actively grow for approximately 30 to 45 days, followed by a shorter catagen phase and then a telogen phase where the lashes shed.

This timeframe is crucial for understanding how long it takes for new lashes to grow in after extension application and can impact the timing of lash fill appointments. Knowing that the entire cycle occurs within this period helps lash technicians plan for maintenance and ensures clients are informed about the natural shedding process of their lashes.
