The question "How to lift a lash lift?" is a bit unclear. A lash lift is a procedure meant to lift your eyelashes, so typically you wouldn't need to "lift" it further. It sounds like the questioner is either unhappy with the results of their lash lift or asking how to maintain the lifted appearance. Let's address both possibilities:
Scenario 1: You're Unhappy with the Initial Lash Lift Results
If your lashes aren't lifted enough after the initial procedure, unfortunately, you can't simply "re-lift" them yourself. You'll need to consult with a qualified lash technician.
Here's why:
- Lash lift solutions are chemical: These solutions reshape your lashes' bonds. Applying them yourself, or reapplying them without proper knowledge, can cause damage, breakage, or even loss of your lashes.
- Proper application is crucial: Lash technicians are trained to apply the solutions correctly and use the right size shield for your lashes to achieve the desired lift without over-processing.
What you can do:
- Contact your lash technician: Explain what you're unhappy with. A reputable technician will often offer a correction appointment within a specific timeframe (usually within a week or two) if the initial lift wasn't satisfactory.
- Wait: Sometimes, the lift will settle slightly over the first 24-48 hours. Give it some time before making a final judgment.
- Consider a re-lift (professionally): If the correction appointment isn't possible or doesn't achieve the desired result, a new lash lift may be required. Never attempt this yourself.
Scenario 2: Maintaining Your Lash Lift's Lifted Appearance
To keep your lash lift looking its best for as long as possible:
- Be gentle: Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously.
- Use oil-free products: Oil-based cleansers and makeup removers can break down the lash lift solution and cause the lift to drop faster.
- Avoid waterproof mascara: Waterproof mascara can be difficult to remove and requires harsh rubbing, which can damage your lashes and affect the lift.
- Brush your lashes daily: Use a clean mascara wand (spoolie) to gently brush your lashes upwards to maintain their shape.
- Consider a lash serum: Certain lash serums can help strengthen and condition your lashes, promoting healthy growth and potentially extending the life of your lash lift. Look for serums that are compatible with lash lifts (check the product description).
In summary, you can't "lift" a lash lift. If you're unhappy with the results, consult a professional. To maintain the results, follow proper aftercare practices.
