What is the Lash Lift?
Many people may have short, thin, or missing eyelashes for various reasons. Sometimes an eye injury can stop eyelash growth, while others may have medical conditions that can cause eyelash loss.
These people are often looking for long-term solutions for their lashes. Beyond temporary solutions such as makeup, clients can use the following lash enhancement methods.
Lash lift
Like curly perms, which add a curlier pattern for people who want their hair to be curled semi-permanently, eyelash lifts involve lifting and securing natural lashes against a silicone pad with a suitable fixing solution.” Before the eyelash lift, the upper eyelids and surrounding area are cleaned. Before applying the eyelash glue to the eyelids, the lower lashes are protected by a patch placed under, the lower waterline. The silicone pad is attached to the eyelid, and then the glue is applied to this pad. The technician gently slides the lashes upwards to attach them to them. Silicone pads come in various diameters to accommodate different lash lengths, producing a range of desired curvature patterns. Before the service, the client can choose the curvature model she wants. Once the lashes are appropriately curled, the cream formula is removed, activating the curl pattern. Before the lashes are removed from the rollers, a solution that neutralizes the curling agent is applied to the lashes, followed by a serum that will stop the effects of the previous products.
Benefits
- Nothing has been glued or connected to her lashes; they are your natural lashes. This is the best choice if you are careful about what you put near your eyes.
- The service is faster than extensions; your appointment takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Eyelash enhancement is low maintenance. There is very little care after this service which lasts about 8 weeks (except for keeping the lashes dry for 24 hours after your appointment).
- Eyelash lift is one of the most affordable eyelash enhancement techniques. The price of a session is between 70 and 150 euros.
- Because maintenance appointments are few and far between, eyelash lifts are relatively safe for your natural lashes. They remain healthy since there are no false lashes to weaken them.
Cons
- This method of lash enhancement is the one that causes the least visible change in appearance. You may not see them from a distance, but they look fantastic up close. You won't believe these are your natural lashes!
Eyelash extensions
Eyelash extensions lengthen and thicken natural eyelashes by attaching hairs to them. These hairs are often made from synthetic materials or silk and animal hairs such as mink, sable, and horse. To help the eyelash extensions adhere to your lashes and prevent infection, the technician must first wipe your eyes off all cosmetics, oil, and debris during your session. When applying eyelash extensions, your lower lashes are often pulled down to avoid any interference when applying for the eyelash extensions on the upper lashes. Individual eyelash extensions are often applied one at a time, using glue or adhesive to bind them close to the root of the native lash. All healthy people with enough natural lashes to attach extensions, including those who do not suffer from severe alopecia and are not sensitive to eyelash glue, can be good candidates for eyelash extensions. Other suitable candidates are those who do not frequently wipe their eyes or pull on their extensions or lashes.
Benefits
- Eyelash extensions give a striking appearance. Most celebrities wear eyelash extensions in photos, and you can see them from a distance and in person.
- Eyelash extensions come in different lengths and thicknesses. A talented professional will expertly apply them to give your eyes the best possible look.
- Your lash extensions are waterproof after the first 24 hours. They hold their shape when you bathe and shower with them – perfect for beach trips! An expert can easily remove them in about 30 minutes if you don't like them.
- Most of the time, eyelash extensions are safe for your eyes and do not damage your natural lashes. Your lash specialist carefully selects the right size and thickness for your lashes, determines their health, and positions them so that the weight is not too much for your lashes to bear. He may advise you to take a break from time to time, and using a growth serum to maintain the health of your lashes is always a good idea.
Cons
- Depending on the type and quantity of extensions you choose, your first eyelash extension visit will cost between 95 and 250 euros. Depending on the frequency of your visits, renewals will cost between 45 and 100 euros. If you wait longer between treatments, you may need more extensions, which could increase expenses. Voluminous lashes are the most expensive because their application requires more time and work.
- Optimal maintenance requires an appointment every 2 to 4 weeks, and lash extension appointments can last between 1 and 2 hours.
- Lash extensions may not be for you if you constantly rub your eyes or have allergies that make them watery. For people who sleep on their stomachs, the friction of the pillow causes the eyelashes to fall out more quickly.
