What is lash-lift?
A lash lift and tint is a popular beauty treatment that enhances the appearance of your natural eyelashes. Here’s a breakdown:
What it is:
Lash Lift: This part of the treatment involves lifting your natural lashes at the root, creating a curled, upward effect. It’s similar to perming your hair, but for your eyelashes.
Lash Tint: This involves applying a semi-permanent dye to your eyelashes, darkening their color and making them appear fuller and more defined.
How it works:
Lash Lift:
Your lashes are carefully placed on small silicone rods.
A lifting solution is applied, which breaks down the natural bonds in your lashes, allowing them to be reshaped.
A setting solution is then applied to set the new shape of your lashes.
Lash Tint:
A semi-permanent dye is applied to your lashes, similar to how you would dye your hair.
The dye is left on for a specific amount of time, then carefully removed.
Benefits:
Longer-looking lashes: Creates the appearance of longer, fuller lashes.
Curved lashes: Lifts and curls your lashes for a more open and awake appearance.
Darker lashes: Makes your lashes appear more defined and dramatic.
Low-maintenance: Reduces the need for daily mascara application.
Natural-looking results: Enhances your natural lashes without the use of extensions.
Important Considerations:
Professional Administration: Lash lifts and tints should always be performed by a qualified and experienced lash technician.
Patch Test: A patch test is typically required 24-48 hours before the treatment to check for any allergies to the dyes or solutions used.
Aftercare: It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your lash technician, which may include avoiding getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours.
Results: Results typically last for 4-6 weeks, depending on individual lash growth cycles.
