Lash Lift & Brow Lamination Aftercare
- Avoid getting your lashes or brows wet for the first 24 - 48 hours. Water can interfere with the setting of the lifting solution, causing the hairs to lose their shape prematurely.
- Avoid heat or steam. Avoid exposure to saunas, hot showers, and direct sunlight for 24-48 hours. Heat weakens the hold before your lashes or brows have fully set.
- Avoid eye makeup. Avoid applying mascara, eyeliner or eyebrow product for the first 24-48 hours. These products weigh down the hair and disrupt the hold.
- Don’t sleep on your face. Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach if you don’t want to crush your lashes or mess up your brows. Consider sleeping on your back or use a silk / satin pillowcase to minimize friction and protect your lashes / brows while you sleep.
- Don’t use eyelash curlers. The lash lift is designed to enhance the natural curl of your lashes. so additional curling is unnecessary and could damage your lashes.
- Don’t use oil based skincare products. Don’t use oily products around the eye area as they break down the lamination and lifting solutions, opt for water based or oil free products instead.
- Don’t pick or pull at your hair. This can cause damage and breakage. If you notice any adhesive residue or clumping, gently comb through your lashes with a clean spoolie brush.
- Don’t expose your hair to harsh chemicals. Steer clear of chlorine from swimming pools or hair dye solutions which can weaken the hold and cause the lamination to degrade prematurely.
- Be Gentle. Be careful when touching or rubbing your eyes, excessive friction can weaken the lifted lashes or laminated brows.
- Brush your lashes or brows daily. Gently brush your lashes or brows daily with a clean spoolie brush to help maintain their shape and separation. This can also prevent the hair from becoming tangled.
- Attend touch up appointments. Depending on your lash or brow growth cycle, touch up appointments are recommended every 6-8 weeks to maintain the hold and keep your lashes or brows looking their best.
