Salon Lash Lifts & Lash Health: What to Know
Salon lash lifts are known for dramatic results, but they can come at a cost. The solutions for setting and curling lashes are like those used in hair perms. They can be harsh on delicate lash hairs and the skin around the eyes.
Here’s what to be wary of:
- Dehydration: Lifting solutions can dry out lashes, making them more brittle and prone to breakage.
- Pulling/Tension: During treatment, the technician adheres lashes to silicone rods, which can increase the risk of fallout or damage to the lash.
- Possible Reactions: Most responsible lash techs will require a patch test before performing a first-time lash lift. This is because some people can have allergies or sensitivities to the lifting solution. Some people can develop sensitivities to the solutions over time.
If you do choose a professional lash lift, adding a lash serum to your routine can help keep your eyelashes healthy and conditioned.
The Best Lash Serum for Curl and Lift
The best lash serum for curl is one that strengthens your natural lashes from root to tip. When choosing the right one, consider:
- Science-backed ingredients: Look for peptides, biotin, and conditioning botanicals. Avoid ingredients like phthalates, parabens, and fragrance.
- Safety-tested formula: Any product used near your eyes should be third-party tested for safety and reviewed by an ophthalmologist.
- Ease of application: A serum with a fine-tip brush makes precise application simple.
- Cost per use: A tube of lash serum can last up to six months, making it far more affordable than repeat salon visits.
