Lash lamination is a popular semi-permanent treatment designed to curl and lift your natural lashes, creating the look of longer, fuller, and more defined eyelashes. By enhancing the natural curve of each lash, this treatment delivers a wide-eyed, mascara-like effect that can last up to two months without the need for curlers or daily makeup. Perfect for anyone seeking a low-maintenance beauty solution, lash lamination is gentle, safe, and leaves your lashes looking effortlessly polished every day.
Lash lamination is a semi-permanent lash improvement method. This chemical process lifts and curls the natural eyelashes, resulting in a more extended look and a pleasing shape that adds to the eye’s openness. Such a curl level is unattainable with a standard lash curler.
Often, lash lamination treatment is combined with a lash tint, which is particularly effective for lashes that are not entirely black. Darkening the lashes a few tones gives an impression of fuller lashes, potentially eliminating the need for mascara, although mascara can be applied if preferred.
The naturally enhanced appearance from a lash lift comes from its ability to work in harmony with your natural lashes without the need for additional fibres like those used in lash extensions, and it requires minimal upkeep.
Eyelash lamination, a widely practised beauty technique, improves eyelashes’ length, volume, and curvature. Below are several benefits of eyelash lifting.
In contrast to extensions or synthetic lashes, lash lamination employs the client’s natural lashes, resulting in a more understated and organic appearance.
Lash lamination outcomes can persist for numerous weeks, offering patrons the advantage of enduringly lengthier lashes without everyday upkeep.
An eyelash lamination is a straightforward process, accomplishable with a single visit to a spa or beauty parlour. It’s ideal for customers wishing for extended lashes minus the inconvenience of extensions or synthetic lashes.
Post-procedure eyelash lamination necessitates minimal maintenance. Patrons can maintain lash health with simple cleansing and conditioning routines. Additionally, mascara usage is feasible 48 hours following the procedure.
Customization in eyelash enhancement is feasible, allowing the achievement of the preferred visual outcome. The curl’s intensity from the lift is adjustable to align with each individual’s taste.
Consultation & Lash Assessment
Your appointment starts with a discussion of your lash goals and an assessment of your natural lash length, density, and health. This ensures the lash lamination treatment is tailored to you.
Cleansing & Preparation
The lashes are gently cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities, allowing the semi-permanent treatment solutions to adhere properly.
Shield Placement & Lash Lifting
A silicone shield is applied to the eyelids, and the natural lashes are carefully lifted and secured against it to create the desired curl and lift.
Application of Lifting Solution
A lifting lotion is applied to soften and reshape the lash bonds, setting them into their new, lifted position for a natural mascara-like effect.
Setting Solution
A fixing solution is then applied to lock the lashes into place, ensuring the lifted curve holds for weeks.
Nourishing Treatment
A conditioning serum is added to hydrate and strengthen the lashes, promoting healthy growth after the lash lamination process.
Final Review & Aftercare Guidance
Your technician checks the symmetry and lift of the lashes. You’ll receive aftercare advice to maintain your new low-maintenance beauty solution and extend the results.
The results typically last 6–8 weeks, but they may start to fade sooner than expected.
Your lashes will stay laminated until they naturally fall off. However, not all your lashes have the same growth stage during lamination. As a result, some lashes will fall out faster than others.
On average, 4–5 lashes are shed each day. After approximately three weeks, enough lashes will have fallen out to reduce the visibility of the curl. As the lashes continue to clear, the curl will gradually diminish until a new set of curled lashes grows, typically taking 6–8 weeks.
At that point, the lash lamination treatment can be repeated.
