Lash Lifting

A lash lift is an all-natural, semi-permanent technique that gives you the illusion of larger, thicker eyelashes. The natural lashes are thickened at the base, making them appear lifted and lengthened. Based on the rate at which your eyelashes develop, no makeup or water should come in contact with your lashes for 24 hours to ensure the lash lifting is correctly set into shape. Go for extensions if you want a dramatic look but lash lifts are better for a more natural appearance.

How To Get A Lash Lift?

A lash lift is a temporary (semi-permanent) procedure. After a few weeks, the benefits of a lash lift can start to wear off, and you might find yourself reaching for the mascara once again. Below is the procedure to get lifted lashes. 

• Your lower lashes will be separated from your higher lashes by the aesthetician using a stick for approximately 10-15 minutes.
• To give the lashes a lifted, lengthened appearance, a serum or solution is applied. This is essentially painting them upward from the root onto a silicone rod. 
• The aesthetician might also use a tint and a volumizer.
• Your lashes will next be cleaned and brushed by the aesthetician.
• The entire process should last about 45 minutes. You only need to close your eyes.
•  To fully set your lashes and maintain their impeccable condition, using a setting solution and lash conditioner is important. Depending on the lash growth cycle, keratin solutions can last 6 to 8 weeks while adding the desired volume.

Important Note:  The perm solution applied to the lash makes them more flexible so that the technician can bend your lashes to achieve the style you wish. Following the shaping of your lashes, the setting solution (neutralizer) solidifies to cement the shape. If you discover that your lash lift doesn’t last as long as that of other people who received the same procedure, it might simply be a result of how quickly your eyelashes develop on their own.

Benefits Of Lash Lifting: How is it different from eyelash extensions

The overall impact and intensity of lash lifts and eyelash extensions are different. The list that follows will help you compare the various methods and determine which one is best for you.

1. A lash lift involves neither glue nor artificial lashes. While lash extensions only last 3 to 4 weeks, lash lifts frequently cost less and produce effects that last for 8 to 12 weeks.
2. No retouching is required
3. 48 hours following your treatment, you can wear mascara whenever you want.
4. Lash lifting gives an overall more natural outcome.
5. It is irritation-free compared to eyelash extensions.
6. Less upkeep is required for lash lifts.
7. If you want a more pronounced, dramatic impact, eyelash extensions can be a better option.
8. If not done by a professional, there is a chance of eyelash damage.

Risks: Do lash lift damage lashes? What are the disadvantages of lash lifts?

If not done by a professional, there is a chance of eyelash damage. Using the wrong rod and leaving the product on for too long are two frequent mistakes people make with lash lifts. When a stylist misjudges the texture of the natural lashes and leaves the product on for too long, there are possible side effects including skin rashes, allergic reactions to the chemicals or eye patches, and eyelash breakage and damage.

You could get a botched lash lift if the procedure is administered improperly or left on for an excessive amount of time. To put it another way, you can be stuck with curled, uneven lashes.
