Lash lifts have become a popular beauty treatment for enhancing natural lashes, but many estheticians find themselves grappling with inconsistent results. If you’ve ever wondered why your lash lifts aren’t always achieving the results you expect, you’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges in the lash lift process is determining the exact processing time for each client. The complexity of this procedure lies in the uniqueness of each client’s lashes and how they respond to the treatment. The Lash Lift Process: A Game of Guesswork? The lash lift process involves several steps, with precise timing being crucial for optimal results. However, estimating the perfect processing time can often feel like a guessing game. The duration for each step of the process can vary significantly depending on the client’s lash type, which includes factors such as thickness, density, and curl pattern. So, how can you be sure that the time you’ve estimated for each step is truly effective for that particular client? Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and the ideal processing time is rarely universal. Why Testing Individual Lashes is Essential The only surefire method to ensure that the lashes have processed long enough without over-processing is by checking an individual lash strand. This approach may seem meticulous, but it’s critical for achieving the best results. The manufacturer’s guidelines for processing times are helpful, but they often serve as general recommendations rather than precise instructions for every individual case. Testing a single lash allows you to tailor the processing time specifically to the client's lash characteristics, ensuring that you don’t end up with under-processed or over-processed results. How to Test an Individual Lash for Proper Processing Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively test a single lash strand during the lash lift process: Allow Initial Processing Time:  Start by applying the lift solution and let the lashes process for the estimated time, keeping in mind the manufacturer’s guidelines. It’s wise to lean conservatively with your timing to avoid over-processing. Prepare Your Tools:  Use a pointed pair of tweezers for this process. Make sure they are clean and precise to handle the delicate lash strands effectively. Select a Lash:  Carefully pick a single lash from the area you are testing. It’s important to choose a lash that represents the average of the client’s lash type to get a true indication of the overall processing. Bend the Lash:  Gently use the tweezers to grab the tip of the selected lash. Slowly bend the lash towards the lash line, folding it in half. Evaluate the Shape:  Observe how the lash bends: C Shape:  If the lash creates a C shape when bent, it indicates that the lift is not yet complete and additional processing time is needed. V Shape:  If the lash creates an almost V shape, it’s an indication that the processing is likely complete, and you can proceed to the next step of the treatment. Adjust Time as Needed:  Based on your findings, you may need to adjust the processing time for the remaining lashes. If the test lash indicates that more time is required, let the other lashes process for a bit longer and retest if necessary. Conclusion The lash lift process is an art as much as it is a science. While manufacturer guidelines provide a baseline, the unique characteristics of each client’s lashes necessitate a more personalized approach. By testing individual lashes, you can ensure that your lash lifts are neither under-processed nor over-processed, leading to better, more consistent results. This careful attention to detail not only enhances the effectiveness of your treatments but also improves client satisfaction and trust in your expertise. Next time you’re preparing for a lash lift, remember that a little extra diligence in testing can make all the difference in achieving those perfect, lifted lashes. Happy lifting, babes!

< Back Dermaplane Aftercare instructions for dermaplaning treatments Hey, gorgeous! Hope you’re loving the results of your Dermaplane. In order to maintain these glowing results at home with no issues, please follow proper aftercare. After a dermaplane, your skin is in a vulnerable state. It has been thoroughly exfoliated, and we have removed the fine vellus hairs, which typically block a very small amount of UV exposure. In order to mitigate sensitivity or irritation, utilize these tips: - Change or wash your pillowcases tonight. This will minimize the amount of potential bacteria the skin could be exposed to. - Although your skin is baby smooth and it might be tempting, avoid touching your face. Again, this will minimize the amount of bacteria and pathogens coming into contact with your skin. If you need to touch your face, wash your hands thoroughly beforehand. - If you wear makeup, try to hold off for the remainder of the day, especially if you are acne prone. When you do return to wearing makeup, make sure it is applied with either clean hands, clean makeup brushes, or clean makeup sponges. - Avoid chemical and physical exfoliants for a minimum of 48 hours unless otherwise specified by your provider. This includes lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, retinol or other RETinoids, scrubs, enzymes, anything labeled AHA or BHA, and really most ingredients that end with “acid” aside from hyaluronic. - For one week following the treatment, you should be diligent about wearing your SPF and avoiding direct sunlight, but if you are exposed to direct light, reapply every 1.5-2 hours. (We hope you are doing this anyways, but it is extra important post treatment. Previous Next
