As a general guide, we recommend allowing around 8 weeks between lash lift treatments. Your natural lash growth cycle and the condition of your lashes should always be considered before repeating a treatment, so a professional lash assessment is important.
How Often Can You Have a Lash Lift?
A lash lift typically remains visible for around 6 to 8 weeks as your natural lashes move through their growth cycle. At London Brow, our general recommendation is to allow around 8 weeks between lash lifts rather than automatically re-lifting lashes as soon as the effect begins to grow out.
Your lash technician should assess the condition and growth of your natural lashes before each treatment. Some clients may need to wait longer depending on their individual lash cycle and condition.
Why Is It Important to Leave Time Between Lash Lifts?
A lash lift changes the shape of the natural lash using a professional chemical process. Repeating the treatment before the lashes are ready can increase the risk of over-processing, so timing should be based on both the previous treatment and the condition of the lashes.
If the lashes appear dry, brittle, weakened or otherwise unsuitable for treatment, your technician may recommend delaying the next lash lift and focusing on conditioning instead.
Lash Lift Aftercare: The Dos
- Follow your technician's aftercare instructions: Different professional lash lift systems can have different aftercare requirements, so follow the guidance provided for the products used during your treatment.
- Be gentle: Avoid rubbing, pulling or repeatedly handling your lashes.
- Brush lashes into position: Gently brushing the lashes upwards can help keep them looking neat as they grow through their natural cycle.
- Condition your lashes: Use suitable lash-care products such as our Set & Go Setting Serum or Keratin Brow & Lash Boost Serum.
Lash Lift Aftercare: The Don'ts
- Don't automatically book another lift too soon: Allow around 8 weeks as a general guide and have your lashes assessed before repeating the treatment.
- Don't rub or pull at the lashes: Take particular care when cleansing the eye area and removing makeup.
- Don't ignore changes in lash condition: If your lashes appear unusually dry, brittle or weakened, speak to your lash technician before having another chemical treatment.
- Don't assume every lash lift system has identical aftercare: Always follow the instructions for the professional system used for your treatment.
What Happens If You Have a Lash Lift Too Soon?
Repeating a lash lift before the natural lashes are suitable for another treatment can contribute to over-processing. Signs that lashes may need more time can include dryness, brittleness or a change in their usual condition.
A trained lash technician should assess the lashes before treatment rather than relying only on the number of weeks since your previous appointment.
How Long Should You Wait Between Lash Lifts?
Around 8 weeks is a useful general guide between lash lifts, but there is no substitute for assessing the natural lashes. Your individual growth cycle, lash condition and previous treatment should all be considered before another lift is carried out.
