What is a Lash Lift or Lash Lamination?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances your natural lashes by lifting and curling them from the base to the tip, making them appear longer and fuller. Unlike eyelash extensions, which involve attaching synthetic lashes to your natural ones, a lash lift works with what you already have. It is a perm for your eyelashes.
The process involves a few simple steps:
- Consultation: We begin with a consultation to understand your desired look and assess your natural lashes.
- Preparation: Your lashes are carefully cleaned to remove any makeup, oil, or residue.
- Shield Selection: Based on the length and thickness of your lashes, a silicone shield is chosen and placed on your eyelids.
- Lifting: Your lashes are then gently lifted and secured onto the shield. A lifting solution is applied to break down the bonds of your lashes, allowing them to be reshaped.
- Setting: After the lifting solution has done its job, a setting solution is applied to rebuild the bonds and set the lashes in their new shape.
- Nourishing: Finally, a nourishing solution is used to condition and strengthen your lashes.
The whole process takes about 45 to 60 minutes, and the results are immediate. You walk out with beautifully lifted lashes that open up your eyes and give you a more awake, youthful appearance.
How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?
One of the great benefits of a lash lift is its longevity. Typically, the results of a lash lift last between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle and aftercare routine. Here are a few tips to help maximize the lifespan of your lash lift:
- Avoid Water and Makeup for 24 Hours: After your lash lift, avoid getting your lashes excessively wet or applying makeup for the first 24 hours. This helps the lifting solution fully set and ensures the best possible results.
- Set When Wet: If you do get your lashes wet in the first 24 hours then brush them up and back into place. After each shower 'set when wet' which means brush your lashes back up and into place to keep them looking their best for longer.
- Be Gentle: Try not to rub your eyes excessively or use harsh makeup removers. Being gentle with your lashes will help maintain their lifted look.
- Condition: Just like the hair on your head, your lashes benefit from conditioning. Use a lash serum or conditioner to keep them healthy and strong like our Keratin Boost Serum.
With proper care, you can enjoy your lash lift for the full 6 to 8 weeks, making it a fantastic option for those who want low-maintenance, high-impact lashes.
