As with lash extensions, you need to see a professional with a lot of practice. Most states require a cosmetology license to perform the treatment. (Check your state board to learn what qualifications are needed from those administering lash lifts.)
“When the lash lift is overprocessed, it can damage the natural lashes, giving a frizzy look,” Christina Son, a lash lift specialist in Los Angeles, tells POPSUGAR. “It is important that your lash-lift artist assess the natural lashes first to give the proper lash lift.”
I get my lash lifts every three months or so — my lashes hold the curl well — but I’ve noticed that if I don’t wait long enough, the treatment can make the tips of my lashes brittle. It is a chemical service, after all. My technician is very careful, and once she noticed this, she advised me to wait and give my lashes a rest — because as you can probably guess, this treatment is addicting.
