Are you thinking of getting your lashes fixed? Today, there are a variety of different treatments for those of you who are looking for an awake look with dense and full lashes. Two of the most popular treatments are Lash lift and lash extension. Here we go through the difference between these two treatments to make it clearer which of them might suit you best!
Eyelash extensions
When you extend your lashes, the lash stylist uses small individual lashes which are applied directly to your own lashes. The lashes are attached using glue. The glue used for this process is a long-lasting glue and each fringe is carefully applied one at a time. The treatment often takes a few hours and you have the opportunity to tailor the treatment to your own wishes.
Maybe you just want longer lashes and a tighter look? Or do you want to bet more on a dramatic look with thick and heavy lashes? It is entirely up to you. Between your treatments, you don't need to worry about maintaining your extensions too much, however, you need at least one visit a month to keep your lash extensions looking good and fresh. Also, be very careful to go to an experienced and trained lash stylist, as a good lash extension requires someone who is both knowledgeable and extremely thorough. If you like extra-everything lashes and don't mind maintaining them, lash extensions are for you!
Lash lift
Booking in on a Lash lift is a different type of treatment to boost your own lashes. During a lash lift, your lashes are permed and the stylist creates a fine bend based on your wishes with the help of a permanent liquid and a coil brush. Lash Lift gives an L-bend that lifts the eyes and gives a awake impression. The purpose of the treatment is to make your lashes look both longer and fuller, but does not create quite as dramatic a look as a lash extension does. A lash lift tends to last longer than a normal extension, since the effect gradually diminishes as new lashes grow out. If you like more natural lashes with a wow effect, Lash Lift is for you!
Which one should you choose?
If, of all things, you just want a little boost for your normal lashes in terms of color and volume, but still want to maintain a natural look, then Lash lift is definitely the treatment for you. The treatment does not require much maintenance from your side and you retain your fine result for a longer period. However, if you wish to add proper length to your lashes and create a more dramatic look, then a lash extension will fit you like a glove, even though it may require a return visit within a shorter period of time.
