LASH LIFT
A lash lift is a cosmetic beauty treatment designed to enhance the natural lashes by giving them a lifted and curled appearance. It is a semi-permanent procedure that provides an alternative to eyelash extensions or the daily use of an eyelash curler. The lash lift treatment is often combined with a lash tint to add colour and definition to the lashes.
Lash lifts are a popular choice for individuals seeking a low-maintenance way to enhance the natural beauty of their lashes.
Here’s an overview of the lash lift process:
Procedure:
Consultation: The process typically begins with a consultation where the client discusses their desired lash lift outcome with the beauty professional. Factors such as the degree of lift and curl are determined during this stage.
Preparation: The eyes are cleansed, and protective pads or shields are applied to the under-eye area to shield the skin from the perming solution.
Lifting Solution: A lifting solution is applied to the lashes to soften the hair and make it more pliable for shaping.
Lash Placement: The lashes are carefully placed on a silicone or similar lifting tool, shaping them to the desired curl. The lifting solution is then left to set.
Neutralising Solution: After the desired lift is achieved, a neutralizing solution is applied to set the shape of the lashes and neutralize the perming solution.
Lash Tint (Optional): Some clients choose to have their lashes tinted during the lash lift treatment to add color and definition.
Removal of Products: The lifting and tinting products are carefully removed, and the eyes are cleansed.
Key Points:
Results: A lash lift provides a natural-looking curl and lift to the lashes, making them appear longer and more defined.
Duration: The results of a lash lift typically last about 6 to 8 weeks, which is roughly the natural growth cycle of eyelashes. As new lashes grow in, the lifted effect gradually fades.
Low Maintenance: One of the advantages of a lash lift is that it requires minimal maintenance. There’s no need for daily curling or removal of extensions.
Suitable for Most Lash Types: Lash lifts are generally suitable for individuals with various lash lengths and types. However, individuals with extremely short or sparse lashes may not achieve as dramatic a result.
Avoidance of Water and Heat: It’s recommended to avoid water and heat on the lashes for the first 24 to 48 hours after the treatment to allow the lift to set fully.
