What Is A Lash Lift?
According to Richardson, a lash lift is basically a perm for your eyelashes.
Unlike extensions, the process semi-permanently curls your natural lashes upwards (without the addition of faux fibers).
Seferoviq adds that a lash lift is a three-step process that takes about an hour to complete.
First, a perming solution is applied to your eyelashes to curl them upwards.
After a couple minutes, a setting solution that helps keep your lashes in place is applied.
A couple of minutes later, the pro uses a tint to further darken and define your fringe.
What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Lash extensions, says Richardson, involve applying synthetic fibers onto your natural lashes to give them more volume.
Step one is a consultation, where you will choose a length and style.
The process is repeated until each lash is in place.
Richardson says that this process can take up to three hours to complete.
Extensions, on the other hand, involve adding synthetic fibers to give your lashes more volume.
The aftercare for both is also very different.
With eyelash extensions, theres a bit more post-treatment upkeep.
Richardson says you must avoid steam and getting them wet for the first 48 hours.
If theyre shorter, extensions are the best option.
Are There Side Effects?
Like a hair treatment, you’ve got the option to over-process your lashes, she explains.
