Lash lifts have become an increasingly popular treatment, as they offer a semi-permanent alternative to eyelash extensions. However, not all lash lifts are performed equally, and sometimes they don't work as intended. Let’s explore some of the reasons why your lash lift might not have worked.
Poor Quality Products
One reason why your lash lift might have failed is due to poor quality products. If the products used during the lash lift process are not of high quality, they may not be effective enough to hold the lashes in the lifted position. This is why at Van Isle Beauty Bar we use only the best, InLei® Lash Filler. This one of the most gentle yet effective lash lift systems and when used correctly, it works 100% of the time.
Inexperienced Technician
Another reason why your lash lift may not have worked is due to an inexperienced or untrained technician. Lash lifts require a high level of skill and precision to ensure they are done correctly. If your technician is not experienced or properly trained, they may not be able to apply the products in a way that will successfully lift your lashes without damage. It's important to do your research when selecting a lash technician and choose someone who has a proven track record of successful lash lifts! We train all of our technicians in house and ensure that they know how to properly execute the perfect lash lift - including processing times and placement of product!
Natural Lash Condition
It is also possible that the condition of your natural lashes is the reason why your lash lift didn't work. If your lashes are naturally dry, kinked, or damaged, they may become over-processed and not take to the lift as well as healthy lashes. It's important to discuss your natural lash condition with your technician before the lash lift process to ensure they can make the necessary adjustments to achieve the best results.
Lack of Aftercare
Given that a lash lift is a chemical process, it is important to take care of your lashes afterward, making sure they are hydrated and nourished. If the lashes are left un-conditioned post treatment, they may become dry, kinky, and unruly. InLei® has formulated an incredible product called Fashion Lash and Brow Fixing which can be applied to the lashes daily. This product will ensure the best, and longest lasting results.
Although there are several reasons why your lash lift may not have worked, there are also ways to prevent this from happening again. Make sure you are choosing a well-trained technician that uses high quality products, your natural lashes are in good condition prior to the treatment, and use the proper aftercare!
