Lash Perming
Eyelash Perms: Bigger, Brighter Eyes — No Makeup Required
Why Would Anyone Get an Eyelash Perm?
Call it an optical illusion: Upturned eyelashes look longer than very straight ones. Putting a kink at the lashline of your fringe not only grants you fuller, longer-looking lashes; it helps you fake a wide-eyed doe look, too.
Whether you achieve the effect through the wave of your eyelash curling wand or an eyelash perm, however, comes down to your personal preference for convenience and safety.
How Do Eyelash Perms Work?
First, lashes are coated with a special adhesive and wrapped around mini foam rollers or equally diminutive heated clips. This holds them in the curled position that you’re hoping to achieve. As you squeeze your eyes tightly shut, a perming solution or cream is applied to your eyelashes with a tiny brush. The esthetician then covers your roller-wrapped fringe in plastic wrap and lets the chemical concoction cook for about five minutes. After the perming chemicals have taken full effect, on goes a neutralizing solution. More plastic wrap is applied. You sit for another few minutes. Voila: curled lashes in a visit that takes about 45 minutes.
What Are the Results of an Eyelash Perm?
The curl in your lashes will last anywhere from 1-2 days. As your lashes grow and fall out (the life cycle of lashes is about 60 to 120 days), the effects become less noticeable.
What Can I Use To Help Grow, Thicken and Darken My Lashes?
We recommend using Latisse. Latisse is the only FDA-approved prescription grade medication that will darken, thicken and lengthen your own lashes.
