A lash lift is a semi-permanent procedure that is designed to lift and curl your natural lashes giving the appearance of longer, curled, and darker eyelashes. Your natural lashes are boosted from root to tip using a tiny curling rod (like a mini roller for your lashes) and a lifting solution so that you can see their full length, giving them a lifted, lengthened and curled appearance. The different size curling rods allow you to customize how natural the curl appears, and the result is still 100 percent your natural lashes. Simultaneously a tinted color dye is added to lashes to darken, giving the appearance of mascara. Toss out that eyelash curler and mascara! The semi-permanent process takes about 45 minutes and lasts about 6 weeks. This is a great alternative to getting to eyelash extensions.
First 24 Hours of Lift and Tint Aftercare
During the first 24 hours of a lash lift and tint being applied, the curling lashes are processing and setting. It is important therefore to refrain from certain activities and exposing yourself to certain environments to ensure the lash lift sets completely.
Be as gentle as possible with your new eyelashes.
You do not want to get your lashes wet. Keep eyelashes after a lash lift as dry as possible for the first 24 hours. This includes being in hot and steamy environments (eg hot bath or sauna) as the moisture will impact the initial curing process.
Do not use any waterproof mascara or oil-based mascara or other makeup on the lashes.
Do not use any lash serum, creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, sunscreens or cleansers containing oils on or near eyelashes.
Avoid sports and recreation activities that cause you to sweat, and especially those taking place in humid conditions. Examples include but are not limited to swimming, showering, visits to spas and saunas and tanning.
Avoid rubbing your eyes or touching your lashes with your hands or fingers.
Whilst difficult, try to avoid crying during the first 24 hours.
It is advisable to sleep on your side or back versus on your front for the first 24 hours.
