Lash Lifting 411

 

 

Arrive without ANY eye makeup on- think squeaky clean lashes

Have your contacts removed if applicable 

Be sure to discontinue the use of eyelash growth serum at least 2 days prior to your appt.

Discontinue the use of waterproof mascara WEEKS before- that stuff never comes off!

STOP buying waterproof mascara ;)

Be sure you’ve had your lash extensions removed at least a  month prior to getting a lash lift 

Look over and understand the contraindications prior to your appt. to be sure you are a good candidate for a lash lift

 

 

You lose 1-5 lashes a day- your lashes do NOT look the same for the entirety of the lift

Your lifted lashes will shed, and new, straight lashes will grow in, gradually changing the shape of your lift

Your lash lift may not last as long every time you get them done- depends on where you are in your lash growth cycle- generally anywhere between 6-8, up to 12 weeks

If you have a lot of new lashes growing in, your lift will grow out quickly

If you use a growth serum, do NOT use it everyday- 2-3 times weekly for maintenance ONLY 

If you use a lash growth serum, do NOT just stop cold turkey- you will shed A LOT.

If you use a lash growth serum, do NOT use it everyday- your lift will grow out quickly and MESSY

Understand that you will have a couple weeks of lifted and straight lashes mixed together

If you must use a lash curler to make applying mascara easier during this time, do it CAREFULLY

You cannot get your lashes lifted as soon as you notice they are not perfectly lifted anymore-

This is a chemical service and you need to preserve the integrity of your lashes.

Allow at least 6-8 weeks between appointments 

 

 

Within the first 24 hours- Do not get your lashes wet, avoiding heat and steam

Do not apply mascara 

Do not touch or rub them

Do not use lash growth serums, creams, or oils

Avoid sleeping on your face

Begin using your Elleeplex keratin lash gel (morning or night, or BOTH!)

You can also opt for the Elleevate keratin black mascara for daily wear

After 24 hours, you may resume normal skincare routine-

Do try to stay away from heavy oils as they may weigh your lashes down.
