Are you dreaming of longer, fuller lashes but not sure which treatment to choose? Let's dive into the world of lash enhancements and explore two popular options: lash lifts and lash extensions. By the end of this post, you'll have a better idea of which one might be perfect for your lash goals!
So what is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift is essentially a perm for your natural lashes. This treatment curls your lashes from base to tip, making them appear longer and more lifted. The process typically includes cleansing the lashes, applying a lifting solution, shaping the lashes on a silicone rod, setting the curl with a neutralizing solution, and optional tinting for added drama. Lash lifts last anywhere from 4-8 weeks and require minimal aftercare.
What are Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions involve applying synthetic lashes to your natural lashes, one by one. This process adds length and volume to your lashes and can be customized for different looks, from natural to dramatic. Extensions require a maintenance appointment every 2-4 weeks to keep them looking their best. Whist they require more upkeep they offer a more noticeable transformation and have many more options to create different looks.
Pros and Cons
Lash lifts enhance your natural lashes, are low maintenance, more affordable, and eliminate the need for daily mascara. However, the results are less dramatic than extensions and vary based on your natural lashes. If you have naturally short lashes you may be underwhelmed with the results.
Lash extensions offer more noticeable, customizable results that can be tailored to your face shape, and you wake up with perfect lashes every day. On the downside, they can cost a little more depending on the type of lash set and require regular maintenance which isn't always easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Which One Should You Choose?
Consider a lash lift if you want a low-maintenance option, you're happy with your natural lash length but want more curl, or you're new to lash treatments. Opt for lash extensions if you desire a more noticeable look, don't mind regular maintenance appointments, or want to customize the appearance.
Ultimately, the choice between a lash lift and lash extensions depends on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and desired outcome.
