WELCOME TO LW LASHES!
There are several methods to permanently curl eyelashes, each with its own advantages and considerations. Here are the common ones:
Process: Eyelash perming is a professional treatment that involves applying a perming solution to the eyelashes. First, the lashes are carefully combed and placed on a perming rod or shield that determines the curl shape. The perming solution is then applied, which breaks down the disulfide bonds in the lash proteins, allowing the lashes to be reshaped. After a certain period, usually 8-15 minutes depending on the solution and lash type, a neutralizer is applied to reform the bonds and set the curl.
Duration: The curl from an eyelash perm typically lasts for about 2-3 months. However, this can vary depending on factors like the quality of the products used, the health of your lashes, and how well you care for them after the treatment.
Considerations: Eyelash perming should be done by a trained professional to avoid getting the solutions in your eyes, which can cause irritation or damage. People with sensitive eyes or certain eye conditions may not be suitable candidates.
Process: For this method, individual synthetic or natural lashes are attached to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. You can choose the degree of curl you want for the extensions, ranging from a natural-looking curl to a more dramatic, lifted curl. The extensions are applied one by one to each natural lash, following the natural growth direction.
Duration: Eyelash extensions can last for several weeks, usually around 4-6 weeks with proper maintenance. During this time, the curled effect is constantly present, giving the appearance of permanently curled lashes. As your natural lashes grow and shed, the extensions will need to be filled in or replaced.
Considerations: It's important to have extensions applied by a skilled technician to ensure they look natural and don't cause damage to your natural lashes. Some people may experience an allergic reaction to the adhesive, so a patch test is often recommended.
Process: Laser eyelash curling is a relatively new technique that uses low-level laser energy. The laser is directed at the base of the eyelashes, which heats up the lash follicles and causes the lashes to curl. The heat alters the protein structure of the lashes, creating a more permanent curl.
Duration: The results of laser eyelash curling can be long-lasting, often lasting 6 months or more. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as lash thickness and growth cycle.
Considerations: This method should only be performed by a qualified professional with the appropriate laser equipment. It may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired curl, and there is a small risk of side effects like temporary redness or irritation.
