LASH LIFT

LASH LIFT INTRODUCTION

Lash Lift is a treatment that adds curl and definition to your natural lashes. This process creates fuller and longer looking lashes making them more prominent. Lash Lift last approx. 4-6 weeks depending on how quickly your eyelashes grow.

LASH LIFT WHAT TO EXPECT

Hair is made of protein chains which are held together by physical and chemical bonds. Physical bonds are temporary and have no permanent effect on the hair at all. When lifting or perming eyelashes, we are changing the chemical bonds. As the hair cools or dries, these bonds are easily reformed.

  • Perming lotion’s lift the hair cuticles to enter the cortex and break the disulphide bonds.
  • Once disulphide bonds are broken the hair becomes weaker.
  • Perming lotions contain ammonium thioglycolate. This is a compound that can break disulphide bonds by adding hydrogen to each sulphur atom.
  • This will then allow the polypeptide chains to move and slip into their new shape (on your shield/rod).

LASH LIFT AFTERCARE

Day 1: Do not touch or rub your eyes or eyelashes immediately after the treatment. If redness or irritation occurs apply a cool damp cotton compress to the eye area. If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours seek medical advice. Do not sleep on your face.

Day 2: Avoid hot water or steam on the face or near the eyes.

Day 3 & continuously: Please refrain from all attempts to rub the eye or lashes. Do not use oil-based products or any conditioning treatments/serums on the lashes. This will cause the semi-permanent mascara to dissolve faster. Effects of the tint will start to diminish within 2-3 weeks as hair will grow out and the tint color fades. Strong sunlight/UV light can make the tint color fade faster – Use gentle facial cleanser or eye makeup remover and avoid exfoliating cleanser or those products containing AHA’s and oil. Do not attempt to pickoff the mascara, let your technician safely and gently remove the coating before your next application is applied.
