How Long Does a Lash Lift Last and How to Prolong Its Effects

In this article:

• Aftercare Routine: The first 24 to 48 hours are critical, as your lashes are setting into their new shape. Avoid water, steam, makeup and any oil-based products during this period. Instead try gentle cleansing, and regular brushing to maintain the lift.
• Lash Lift Type: A Keratin lash lift, for example, infuses the lash with proteins, potentially offering a more durable curl. Home kits might be less potent than professional treatments, potentially leading to a shorter lift lifespan.
• Technician Skill: Technicians that have years of experience will surely perform the lift professionally ensuring long lasting effects. On the other hand if you are using at-home kits you will notice how your lash lift results extend based on how skillfully you perform.
• Skin Type: Excess skin oil can weaken the lift's hold, causing lashes to straighten out faster. If your eyelids are oily, you may need more frequent touch-ups.
• Lash Health: If your eyelashes are healthy, they are more likely to maintain the lifted curl for an extended period.
• Lash Growth Cycle: Lashes typically go through a growth phase of about 6 to 8 weeks before they shed and renew. If your lashes grow quickly, the lift may not last as long.
  
  Pro tip: Using lash growth serums can accelerate this cycle, extending the duration of your lift.
• Product Quality: Make sure to book appointment at a reputable salon which are using professional ingredients to perform a lash lift or choose a high quality at-home kit like Luxe Lashlift kit.

• Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face and eye area with a gentle, oil-free remover. Oil can weaken the bonds formed by the lash lift.
• Avoid Mascara: Give your lashes a 48-hour rest period before applying mascara to allow the curl to set properly. When start using mascara again, use a water-based formula that’s easy to remove.
• Use Lash Serums: Apply lash growth serum sparingly and ensure it’s compatible with lash lifts. Some serums can change the structure of your lashes, ruining the lift.
• Use Lash Conditioners: Use a lash conditioner or a natural oil like castor oil (if your lift is fully set) to keep your lashes supple and healthy, which can help maintain the lift.
• Brushing Your Lashes Regularly: Gently brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie brush to maintain the structure of the lift.
•  Sleep on your Back: Pressing your face into a pillow can cause lashes to bend and lose their shape.
• Avoid Heat and Water: Keep your lashes away from heat sources like ovens or hairdryers, and minimize time in steamy and watery environments like saunas or pools.
