How does a lash lift work?

Unlike eyelash perming, a beauty treatment that gives lashes that curly, ‘dolly-look’, lash lifting aims at enhancing one’s own lashes by lifting them from the root and giving them more length, which really helps to open up the eyes and always makes you look bright-eyed and alert.

The process aims to put a kink in the base of the lashes to make them more upturned, and, instead of using a traditional perming rod, makes use of silicone pads placed under the lashes.

So how will a lash lift make my lashes look longer?

The perming solution essentially helps in creating an optical illusion- lashes that are curled upward look longer than those that are pointing straight forward or down.

What’s great about lash lifting is that it provides an alternative to eyelash extensions for those with straight lashes as well as those with lashes that appear very short due to their curl pattern.

The perming solution works to do the opposite on these short and curly lash types as it does on straight lashes. Instead of setting them in a curl pattern, it lengthens them out, making this a must try-treatment for all!

How long does a lash lift take?

Lash lifting sessions usually take between 45 and 60 mins to complete and the best part is that you can continue to use your favourite mascara 24 hours after the treatment, just make sure it’s not waterproof!
