An Overprocessed Lash Lift - What's It Mean?

Lash Lifting

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at January 1st, 2024

If you’re considering enhancing your natural lashes, maybe you've thought about a lash lift treatment for that extra fluttery look. While it can be tempting to try a DIY lash lift at home, there are some risks you should be aware of, particularly the possibility of over-processing your lashes.    Let's explore what happens when you accidentally overprocess your lashes and why it's crucial to work with professionals.

What Is an Overprocessed Lash Lift?

Over-processing occurs when the chemicals used in a lash lift treatment are too potent or left on for too long. This results in dry, brittle lashes prone to breakage. Moreover, your lashes might lose their natural curl or appear overly curled, giving them an unnatural look. Performing a lash lift at home can lead to over-processing if the products are not applied correctly or if the chemicals used are too strong. Without the expertise of a lash professional, you might inadvertently damage your lashes, causing them to become weak and brittle.

How to Address an Overprocessed Lash Lift

If you've experienced over-processing due to a DIY lash lift, there are a few remedies you can consider:  
  • Wait it Out: Over-processed lashes will eventually grow out and be replaced by new, healthier lashes. However, this process can take time, so it's not the quickest solution.
 
  • Apply a Lash Conditioner: Using a lash conditioner can help nourish and strengthen your lashes, reducing the risk of breakage. Look for products containing biotin, keratin, and vitamins to promote lash health.
 
  • Professional Correction: Opting for a professional lash lift correction can swiftly restore the appearance of your lashes without causing further damage. During the process, we can also add a keratin lash Botox to infuse lashes with keratin and healthy oils.

How to Not Overprocess Your Lashes

Choose an experienced technician! When opting for a lash lift treatment, only go to a salon or technician with the expertise and training to perform the procedure safely. Also, only use high-quality products/solutions. Inferior products can be harsh on your lashes, increasing the risk of damage. Follow aftercare instructions; this may involve avoiding water or steam for a specified period and refraining from rubbing or touching your eyes.

Don't Risk an Overprocessed Lash Lift

While DIY lash lifts might seem convenient, the risks of over-processing are substantial. To maintain the health and appearance of your lashes, it's best to entrust professionals who have the expertise and quality products necessary to perform the treatment safely. Following these guidelines, you can enjoy gorgeous lashes without compromising their health!
