A lash lift is a semi-permanent process that curls and lifts natural lashes, making them appear longer and eyes more open
. The treatment involves several steps, including a consultation, cleansing the eye area, placing a silicone rod onto the eyelids, curling the lashes over the rod, and applying a lifting solution, neutralizing solution, and rinsing the eyes with a saline solution
. Lashes can be tinted optionally
. The process takes about an hour to complete
. Some key aspects of lash lifts include:
- Materials : Lash lifts use perming cream, neutralizing cream, eye gel pads, cleansing pads, a silicone pad, spoolie brushes, micro brushes, lash lift rods, rod glue, and mini sticks to press the eyelashes
- Ingredients : The ingredients in lash lift solutions can vary, but some common ingredients include ammonium thioglycolate, cysteamine, polyacrylamide, thioglycolic acid, monoethanolamine, methylparaben, sodium bromate, propylene glycol, and polysorbate
. Some lash lift products, like Keratin Lash Lift, use natural ingredients such as water, keratin, collagen extract, elastin, silk protein, amino acid, raw vitamin B, liquid biotin, and coconut oil
- Cost : The cost of a lash lift can vary depending on the location and the specific treatment. For example, a lash lift with tint costs $105, while a lash lift without tint costs $90 at Dreambeautylashbrowbillerica
- Duration : Lash lifts can last 6-8 weeks, but the results may vary from person to person
- Safety : When performed by trained and experienced lash technicians, lash lifts are considered safe
. However, some people may not be suitable for the treatment, such as those with very short lashes or no lashes at all, extremely sensitive skin, or skin allergies
- Aftercare : After the treatment, it is essential to maintain the results by using gentle eye makeup and avoiding touching or rubbing the eyes
. A lash re-perm may be needed after six weeks to maintain the results
