Does an eyelash lift damage the eyelashes?

Yes, an eyelash lift can damage the eyelashes if not done correctly. This process involves breaking the disulfide bonds of the eyelashes . Leaving the perming lotion in for too long can cause more bonds to break than necessary. This causes the loss of eyelash mass and can cause the eyelashes to lose quality and become weaker.

Risks of eyelash lifting:

  • Overtreatment: Leaving the lotion on for too long or using it incorrectly can cause damage.
  • Applying the lifting lotion to the tips of your eyelashes: Using the wrong technique can cause unnecessary stress and damage to the tips.

Gentle eyelash lifting with the EasyLift Lotion:
A gentle and high-quality lifting lotion like our EasyLift Lotion protects the eyelash structure and reduces the risk of damage. Our lotion allows the eyelashes to be gently reshaped while the disulfide bonds are dissolved so that the eyelash mass is optimally preserved.

When is the best time for another eyelash lift?

With our gentle EasyLift lotions, your customer can repeat her eyelash lift as soon as she wants. If she always wants perfectly curled eyelashes, you can repeat the treatment every four weeks. If your customer doesn't mind the natural renewal phase, an interval of 6-8 weeks is a good guideline.

How long the new curl is visible depends on their growth cycle. If you notice a client growing a lot of new baby lashes, you should point this out and recommend scheduling their next appointment sooner. Other clients, however, have a very slow lash growth process and only need a new appointment every 8 to 10 weeks.

What can I do if my client's new eyelash curl is too weak?

If your client's eyelashes are not having the lifting effect they want, there are a few things you can check:

  1. Product quality and storage: Check the expiration date of your lifting products and the storage location . Products that have expired or are stored improperly can lose their effectiveness and thus affect the lifting result. Our eyelash lifting lotions have a very stable formulation and have a shelf life of at least 4 weeks if kept well sealed.
  2. Ethnic background of the customer: Hair structure varies depending on genetic and ethnic background, which affects the strength of the eyelashes . Some customers need a longer exposure time to achieve optimal curl. It is essential to always check the exposure time of the perming lotion. To do this, use the Lash Control Check. It shows you exactly when your customer's eyelashes are ready for the fixing lotion.
  3. Apply lifting lotion evenly: An even distribution of the lifting lotion is crucial. The lotion must be applied evenly and uniformly . Patchy layers and unevenness lead to an uneven eyelash lift .

With these tips and the right application technique, you can ensure an even and long-lasting eyelash lifting result for your customers.

What to do if the eyelash lift on one eye is weaker or asymmetrical?

It happens that the eyelashes on one eye have a stronger, natural curve than on the other. If you do not adapt your treatment to this particularity, one eye will have a weaker curve. Here are tips on how to avoid such cases:

  1. Consider individual differences: Make a note on the customer file card if a customer has a naturally stronger curvature in one eye. This way, you can take a more targeted approach during the next treatment and extend the exposure time a little for the eye with the lesser curvature.
  2. Pay attention to the exact exposure time: If you are not working with our EasyLift lotions but with stronger lotions, a difference of just 30 seconds can affect the result. Therefore, be particularly precise with the exposure time of the perming lotion so that both eyes are lifted symmetrically. If, on the other hand, you use our EasyLift lotions, you have much more flexibility. These lotions reshape the eyelashes more gently, which means that the ideal exposure time offers a range of 2-3 minutes and greatly reduces the risk of over-treatment.
  3. Symmetrical fixation of the eyelashes on the silicone pad: Make sure to fix the eyelashes of both eyes evenly on the silicone pad.
  4. Use balm or glue correctly: Be careful when using balm or glue, as it can act as a barrier between the eyelashes and the perming or fixing lotion. The balm or glue should hold the eyelashes in place on the silicone pad, but should not cement them. Always use only a small amount of product and reapply as needed.

With these tips, your eyelash lift will be more precise and symmetrical, so that both of your client's eyes get the perfect curve!

My client is allergic to eyelash extension glue. Can I treat her with an eyelash lift?

Yes, many clients who are allergic to eyelash extension glue can still enjoy a lash lift! Most allergic reactions to eyelash extensions are caused by skin contact and repeated exposure to cyanoacrylate - an ingredient found in all eyelash extension glues.

However, our EasyLift eyelash lifting products do not contain cyanoacrylate, so the risk of an allergic reaction during eyelash lifting is significantly lower. However, to be on the safe side, we recommend carrying out a patch test to determine whether the customer is sensitive to the products. A patch test is the best method to rule out potential intolerances and ensure a safe lifting experience.

My client has eyelash extensions but wants an eyelash lift. Can I remove the extensions and lift the eyelashes straight after?

Yes, it is possible to remove the eyelash extensions and perform an eyelash lift immediately afterwards, but under certain conditions:

  1. Gently remove eyelash extensions: Eyelash extensions may only be removed with a special remover. Avoid the so-called "banana technique", in which the eyelashes are pulled off the natural eyelashes with tweezers, as this can severely damage the cuticle of the natural eyelashes.
  2. Use our gentle lifting lotions: It is important to work with gentle lifting lotions, such as our EasyLift lotions . These lotions are specially formulated to gently lift the lashes without putting too much strain on them.

With these requirements, you can ensure that the eyelash quality is well maintained.

What can I do if my eyelashes have changed direction after 24 hours?

If your client notices that the curvature has changed after about 24 hours, there are two points you need to consider:

  1. Inadequate cleaning: It is important that you remove all products thoroughly. If product residue remains, it can initially create the illusion of a curl that is not there. It wraps around the eyelash like cement or mascara and holds it in this position. As soon as your customer cleans her eyes and eyelashes thoroughly, the true curl becomes apparent. In other words, the eyelashes already had a different curl at the beginning. To avoid this, you must always clean the eyelashes very thoroughly and meticulously with an eyelash shampoo at the end of the treatment. You remove the shampoo thoroughly with distilled water.
  2. Inadequate drying: After removing all the product residue as described above, you may not have dried the lashes enough to see the true curl. If the lashes are wet after the treatment, the weight of the water will weigh them down. Once they start to dry, the true curl will be visible. Only now do we see signs of over-treatment or incorrect placement of the lashes on the silicone pad.

Make sure your client's lashes are clean and dry before they leave your salon! Only by recognizing your own mistakes can you improve your craft.

What should I do if my client's eyelashes have been over-treated?

If your client's eyelashes have been over-treated and are curling towards the eyelid, you have one option:

The aim is to gain distance from the eyelid. Take a large pad with no turning point or a very small turning point, such as our Next Gen Pad in size XL and lift the eyelashes again with our gentle EasyLift lotions. Make sure to adapt the exposure time to the already damaged eyelashes, or reduce it.

Can my client wear mascara after her eyelash lift?

Sure! Your client should leave her lashes alone for the first 3-4 hours after her lash lift treatment so that the finishing treatment can take effect. Afterwards, she can use any mascara and should remove it in the evening with a makeup remover. Remember that mascara should be replaced every 3 months to prevent the growth of bacteria and possible infections in the lashes and eyes.
