Let’s talk about lash lifts!! What is a lash lift I hear you ask…. Think back to the 80s when we used to perm our hair! Well this is a perm for lashes, the difference is that these look GOOD!
The benefits of a lash lift are that the effects last up to 8 weeks! That is incredible! They enhance your natural lash rather than making them bulky and uncomfortable. A lift can help you! Scrubbing off mascara can be harmful to your natural lashes. It is a relatively short treatment time, in comparison with lash extensions.
A lash lift makes your natural lashes look fuller, longer and more defined. There is relatively no maintenance with a lash lift, just a few dos and don’ts in the first 24 hours or so. If you have opted for just a lash lift you can wear mascara, however if you go for a tint at the same time as your lash lift – you won’t need to keep applying mascara, in fact you won’t need it at all!
There are a few things that you really shouldn’t do before your lash lift treatment. #1 Don’t drink coffee! #2 Don’t put on eye makeup – especially mascara #3 Don’t apply any oily products to your face and eyes. #4 Absolutely DO NOT have contact lenses in!
And finally, don’t forget to book your patch test 24/48 hours prior to treatment.
There are 42 muscles in the human face, the act of talking moves those muscles. Your
treatment is a delicate procedure of fixing lashes to a shield (as above). . The slightest movement can pop these lashes off the shield giving less favourable results. Now, obviously more fixing agent can be applied to the shield, however please work with your therapist on this. Also it is vital that you get yourself comfortable first, before the treatment begins and you will be unable to adjust posture or move as this can essentially ruin the treatment.
Aftercare rules are essential after a treatment. If you want your lashes to last and not drop firstly don’t feed them after midnight…… oops sorry that’s a movie lol.
But seriously, please be gentle with your lashes post treatment so no rubbing your eyes! Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hours, the perm will drop. Do not use harsh or oil products on your lashes/eyes/ Avoid steam, saunas or anything hot, this will weaken the lift. Get your partner to do all chores in the first 24 hours post treatment. No make up for 24 hours.
So to achieve lashes as beautiful is this lovely lady's, basically lay back on the couch, get comfortable, keep things quiet and by all means pop your headphones in if you wish to. Choose an appointment time in which you will experience less stress and avoid caffeine before your appointment. Enjoy your treatment!
