Do Lash Lifts work on Short Lashes?

How long do the eyelashes need to be for a Lash Lift?

Lash Lifts work on short lashes. However, the eyelashes should be a minimum of a half centimetre long in order to do the service safely. This is because on top of securing your eyelashes onto the silicone pad, the technician needs to apply the perming solution as close to the lash line without disturbing it. Short lashes leave little room for the technician to work with.

The lashes should be at minimum a half centimetre long for a Lash Lift.

If your eyelashes do not quite meet the required length, try using a lash enhancement serum. Previously, serums such as EyEnvy led the way in lash enhancement with no prescription necessary. This allowed millions of users to experience never-before-seen eyelash length.

Now, EyEnvy has been discontinued but you can find lash enhancement serums in most stores. We recommend Adoreyes. While sharing similarities with EyEnvy, it has some positive improvements. Examples include the timeframe in which the serum works. Unlike EyEnvy, Adoreyes works on all 3 stages of hair growth. Adoreyes may cost slightly more, but offers more serum in the bottle.

Are you ready for your Lash Lift?

Do lash lift work on very straight lashes?

Yes, however, given the fact that the hair follicle has been trained to grow in that position for so long, it may take a coupe of sessions to achieve the desired curl.

Will tinting after a lash lift damage the lashes further?

No, the level of peroxide contained in any facial dye is very low and is mainly for the purpose of depositing colour. In other words, it is not lifting. If anything, it can help to fill the opened hair cuticles.

Transitioning from Extensions to Lash Lifts

If you previously wore lash extensions, we recommend waiting 4-6 weeks before your lash lift. This will depend on how much damage has been caused by the eyelash extensions. Using a growth serum will help strengthen the lashes giving better results.

The First 48: Things to avoid after a Lash Lift

can i go swimming after lash lift

Can you go swimming after a lash lift?

Not right after but 48 hours after, yes. However, we recommend applying extra moisture to the lashes when swimming, due to the dehydrating effects of chlorine. That recommendation also applies to your hair and eyebrows. Lash serums or regular eye cream are great for added moisture around the eyes.

Chlorine

Chlorine can have a positive effect or negative effect. Trusted pools where chemical levels are balanced can have positive effects. For example, it can actually help with eczema as long as the person is properly treating their skin afterward.

Chlorine has a very drying effect on the skin and hair because of its pH level. Chlorine is very alkaline and our skin and hair are naturally acidic. As a result, chlorine throws off your pH balance. In order to recalibrate, use ph-balanced products (shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, cleanser, toners).

Can you wear mascara after your Lash Lift?

can i wear mascara after a lash lift

Yes, as long as you are following the 48-hour post care rule of no makeup and no soaking, you can apply mascara and are free to apply it as often as you’d like. Keep in mind that you don’t want to over-cleanse. When removing the mascara, avoid using alcohol and oil-based makeup removers.

How do you maintain a lash lift?

Maintain your lash lift by following the recommended aftercare. Avoid water, steam, makeup for the first 48 hours. After that, try to use mild cleansers around the eyes. Avoid strong astringents or alcohol-based and oil-based eye makeup removers.

What should I put on my lashes after a lash lift?

Proper Lash Lift aftercare will help maximize the longevity of your lift. You can carefully add a little moisturizer to the lashes using a spoolie brush. Lash serums work as well.

LashLIFT, your go-to lash service!

What is a LashLIFT?

LashLIFT is a gentle lash perming service that delivers a semi-permanent curl. The process begins with your lashes being strategically fanned and positioned on a fitted silicone pad prior to the 2-step treatment. Once your 45-60-minute service has wrapped up, your lashes are left with a smooth curl that can last up to 6-8 weeks!

Perfect pairings for your LASHLIFT!

If you’re looking for a defined lash-line pair your LashLIFT with a Lash Tint to really make those lashes stand out. The added color intensifies the lashes and brings out fine hairs that aren’t always able to support mascara. This is great combination for those days in the sun and water, no need for heavy waterproof mascara or bye-bye melted lash lines.

Although a LashLIFT can’t get you the length you want, pairing your service with the EyEnvy Lash and Brow Conditioner will! This super serum boosts your hair natural growth and gets your lashes to their max length by nourishing new growth with nutrients. Apply once a day and your lashes will look and stronger within minimum 6 weeks!

Throughout April 2019, get your LashLIFT & EyEnvy combo for $ 140.

This special is not valid with any other offer/promotion. No pre-purchasing; Ends April 30, 2019.

Lash Lift Care and other FAQs

This lash lift care information will help you take care of your lash lift. This articles reviews frequently asked questions.

Q: What is a LASH LIFT?

A: Lash lifts are a gentle form of lash perming that curls the natural lashes along the lash line. It gives the appearance of longer more feminine lashes.

Q: How does it work?

A: The first step is to open the bonds in the hair, giving flexibility within the mid shaft where the curl is found. The second step sets the lashes into position and seals the hair shaft. The third step reintroduces moisture back into the lashes.

Q: How long does it last?

A: Lash lifts can last up to 12 weeks depending on after-care products used and thickness of lashes. Minimize rubbing and use gentle products on eye area. Thick lashes are more resistant and will fall faster than thin lashes.

Q: How do I care for my lashes after the treatment?

A: Avoid water for 48hrs, therefore, coming to your appointment with freshly washed hair will be of benefit.

You must also avoid makeup, and pressure on the lashes for 48hrs. It is recommended to sleep on your back in order to avoid bending the lashes overnight. Using a lash comb to lift and operate the lashes will help set.

Afterwards you can return to your regular routine and products.

Q: Will the lash lift damage my lashes?

A: It is recommend that clients wait 12 weeks between lash lifts. This allows you hair to recover and regenerate new growth.

Q: Are there any allergies I must be aware of?

A: It is rare for reactions to occur as the products are kept strictly on the lashes. People who have sensitivity to latex are not recommended to have the service, as the adhesive used does contain latex.

If you have ever reacted to artificial lash glue used for strip lashes, you are at risk of having a reaction. Typical allergic reaction will cause the eyes to swell for up to 72 hours.

What did you notice first? The eyelashes or the eyebrows?
