Lash lifts are the new buzzy beauty treatment: a cheaper, more natural-looking, low maintenance alternative to lash extensions. Essentially a modern version of the lash perm and tint, the treatment makes the most of your natural lashes. Once you've learned what the process of getting a lash lift is, and seen the incredible results, you'll probably want to give it a go yourself. But there are a few things you should know before going in for the treatment, in order to get the most out of your appointment. Read on for all the info.

The lash lift will not damage your lashes, provided you follow pre- and post-treatment care as instructed. The treatment is not painful, however it may feel strange, and you'll have to keep your eyes shut for the duration of the treatment (approximately 45 minutes). The Eyelash Emporium's lead technician, Joanne McGovern, suggests getting lashes retinted three weeks after the treatment to maintain that faux mascara look. Avoiding heat treatments or sunbathing for 24 hours will ensure the tint does not fade.

You can keep lashes fluffy and tangle-free by brushing through them with a spoolie daily. Using oil-based makeup removers may effect the longevity of the lift and disrupt the lifting solution. The treatment is not recommended if you suffer from chronic dry eyes, or have conjunctivitis or other eye infections.

To prolong your results, don't use waterproof mascara. Results differ on each person, as nothing is being added to your lashes like extensions, but rather your own lashes are being uplifted. You must arrive with no contact lenses in and no eye makeup on. Using a lash treatment between lash appointments will ensure your lashes stay in good condition.
