Why Are My Lashes Falling Out? Causes & How to Repair Them

Seeing a lash on your cheek used to be a sign to make a wish. But when you start seeing three, four, or five lashes on your pillow every morning, that wish turns into panic. You find yourself asking: "Why are my lashes falling out?"

Take a deep breath. While excessive shedding is alarming, it is rarely permanent. In most cases, it is a signal that your lashes are stressed, damaged, or stuck in a resting phase. This guide is your official Lash Rehab roadmap to repair damage and stimulate regrowth using safe, peptide-based science.

Why Are My Lashes Falling Out? The 3 Main Causes

Before we can fix the problem, we must identify the culprit. Generally, the reason why your lashes are falling out stems from one of these three triggers:

1. Mechanical Damage (The most common) This includes aggressive makeup removal, rubbing your eyes, or the weight of heavy lash extensions pulling on the follicle (a condition known as Traction Alopecia).
2. Chemical Stress Waterproof mascaras containing drying alcohols, or lash lifts that were processed for too long, can make lashes brittle and prone to snapping.
3. Internal Factors Stress, diet, and hormonal changes play a huge role. According to the Mayo Clinic, significant stress can push hair follicles into a "resting" phase, causing them to fall out months later.

How to Stop Lashes Falling Out: A 3-Step Routine

If you are tired of wondering "why are my lashes falling out," you need a recovery plan. Follow this routine for 4-8 weeks to see a complete transformation.

Step 1: The "Breakup" (Stop the Damage)

You cannot heal while you are still hurting. We recommend taking a 4-week break from lash extensions, lash curlers, and waterproof mascara. Give your follicles a chance to breathe without heavy weights pulling them down.

Step 2: Hydrate & Strengthen

Just like your hair needs conditioner, your lashes need moisture. Brittle lashes snap easily. You need to reintroduce hydration directly to the root to prevent future breakage.

Step 3: Fortify with Peptides

This is the game-changer. Apply a peptide-rich lash serum daily. SugarBear LashCare™ is specifically formulated with premium peptides, vitamins, and amino acids to support natural repair. Unlike hormone-based serums that force growth (and can cause side effects), peptides nourish the lash to repair damage naturally.

Did You Know? Your lashes have a life cycle of about 3 months. If you start "Lash Rehab" today, you are protecting the new baby lashes that are just starting to grow in. Consistency is key!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my lashes grow back after falling out?

Yes! Unless there is severe scarring to the eyelid, lashes almost always grow back. However, using a serum can significantly speed up the appearance of density and length during the regrowth phase.

Can I use serum while I still have extensions?

Yes, but only if it is oil-free. SugarBear LashCare™ is completely oil-free and safe for extensions. Using it while you wear extensions can help keep your natural lash strong enough to hold the weight.

How long until I see results?

Because we are working with your natural growth cycle, most users see a noticeable difference in 4 weeks, with full "rehab" results visible after 12 weeks of daily use.

Ultimately, understanding why are my lashes falling out is the first step. The second step is treating them with care and peptides.

Don't wait for more lashes to fall out.
