What is a lash refill?
A lash refill (manutenção) replaces the extensions that have shed along with your natural lashes. Every natural lash has its own cycle: it grows, falls out and is replaced. When a natural lash sheds, the extension attached to it goes too, and over the days small gaps and grown-out, misaligned lashes appear.
At a refill, your lash artist removes the extensions at the end of their cycle, fills the gaps and restores the design and fullness of your original set.
Who is it for?
Refills are for anyone who already wears eyelash extensions — Brazilian volume or Russian volume — and wants to keep them looking great without a full new set every month.
Thinking of taking a break? Removal should always be done by a professional — never pull lashes out or use oil at home. Our post on eyelash extension removal explains why. For a break from extensions, a lash lift enhances your natural lashes instead.
The result
After a refill your lashes look full, even and symmetrical again, in the same style you chose for your set — natural, doll eye, cat eye or fox eyes. Grown-out or twisted extensions are replaced and the gaps disappear.
How the appointment works
Appointments are private and scheduled, and you lie down with your eyes closed.
Assessment
Your lash artist checks how your lashes are doing: how many extensions are still secure, where the gaps are and how healthy your natural lashes look. It is also the time to mention anything that bothered you since your last visit.
Cleansing and removing grown-out extensions
Your lashes are cleansed, and extensions that have grown out or are about to fall are carefully removed, without forcing your natural lashes.
Filling with mapping and isolation
Following your original lash map, new extensions are placed where needed, matching the lengths and curls of the design. Each natural lash is isolated before it receives an extension, so none stick together.
Comfort
The room is calm and private, and you can ask for a pause at any time. If stinging, itching or redness persists afterwards, see an ophthalmologist.
Aftercare between refills
- For the first 24 hours, avoid water, steam, saunas and heavy sweating.
- Wash your lashes every day with lash foam and a soft brush.
- Use an oil-free remover; no waterproof mascara or lash curler.
- After the sea or the pool, rinse with fresh water and pat dry.
