Generally, it is recommended to wait before getting lash extensions after a lash lift. The suggested waiting period is typically at least six to eight weeks.
Why Wait?
The waiting period after a lash lift is important for several reasons:
- Lash Health: Lash lifts involve chemicals that alter the structure of your lashes. Lashes need time to recover and regain their natural strength. Applying extensions too soon can cause damage and breakage.
- Extension Adhesion: The lifted shape of your lashes immediately after a lift can interfere with proper extension placement and adhesion. Extensions might not bond well, leading to premature shedding or an unnatural appearance.
- Optimal Results: Allowing your lashes to return to their natural state ensures the lash artist can apply extensions in a way that complements your eye shape and desired look, leading to better and longer-lasting results.
Considerations
While the 6-8 week timeframe is generally recommended, individual lash health and growth cycles can vary. Consult with a qualified lash technician or esthetician for personalized advice. They can assess the condition of your lashes and determine the most appropriate time to apply extensions after your lash lift. They can also advise on aftercare and products to help maintain healthy and strong lashes.
