Pros and Cons of Using Lash Growth Serum with a Lash Lift

Pros and Cons of Using Lash Growth Serum with a Lash Lift

Lash Lift essentially gives curl and lift to your natural lashes to create and fuller look. Some of our clients (which have short natural lashes) after getting a lash lift are like “wow … can I also lengthen my natural lashes?”

Lash growth serums promise to make lashes grow. So the next question comes to mind is: “Can I combine/apply lash serum on my lifted lashes for getting longer, curled natural lashes?”

The best answer to these questions is:

Yes, you can use a lash serum before and after having a lash lift. However, don’t apply the serum right before your procedure, and wait for atleast 24 hours after your lash lift treatment before applying it.

Lash serums complement lash lifts by making lashes stronger, healthier, and longer for better lash lift results. but the only thing that you should pay attention to is the timing of the application. It is highly recommended to wait for 24 hrs after your lash lift application. This waiting period allows the lash lifting solution to be completely set and will make sure that there is no damage to the natural lashes and the lash lift treatment.

Now, let’s explore the pros and cons of using lash growth serum with a lash lift so that you know what to do to acheive your lash lift goals.

Pros Of Using a Lash Serum With a Lash Lift

Here are 3 reasons to use a lash serum with a lash lift:

Pro #1: Lash serum boosts lash lift results

As the lash lifts works with natural lashes, the results will only be visibly best when the natural lashes are long and thick lashes than short and sparse ones. That’s where lash growth serum can help. Serum gets your lashes long , so there’s more to lift and there’s more to show off!

Pro #2: Lash serum gets lashes ready for a lash lift

Lash growth serums make it possible that even shortest lashes might be ready for a lash lift one day. The time it takes for lash serums to show real growth to the lash hair varies from person to person but normally it takes any where between 1 to 2 months to see a visible growth. This makes the clients with short natural lashes ready for relatively long and strong enough lash lift.

Pro #3: Lash serum keeps lashes healthy between lash lifts

Regular lash lift clients would want to keep their lashes in good condition between procedures. Hence, regular application of lash growth serum for regular lash lift clients not only keeps lashes longer but also strong enough for regular processing.

Cons Of Using a Lash Serum With a Lash Lift

These are 3 reasons to think twice about using a lash serum with a lash lift:

Con #1: Lash serums have risks

Be careful when choosing a lash serum for your lashes if you have allergies as some lash serums can cause reactions on sensitive skin or eyes.

To be on the safe side, always do a patch test by apply a little serum behind your ear or on your arm and keep it there for 24 to 48 hrs and watch how your body and skin responds to it before applying the serum on your lashes.

Con #2: Results don’t last forever

Unfortunately, lash growth serum results for longer and stronger lashes are not permanent. Our natural lashes constantly grow and shed, so after a few weeks, your serum-lengthened lashes will naturally fall out, and you’ll need to start the process all over again. You’ll only get lash serum benefits while you’re using it.

Con #3: Lash serum takes time to work

Eyelash serum results takes time to show visible effect. It normally takes about a month or two of daily application when you might see a little difference, but full results can take up to 3 months to make an appearance.

How to Apply a Lash Serum With a Lash Lift

Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying any product on your face, body or skin and follow the instructions exactly. Once you have read the instructions and you know how to use your specific serum, remember the following simple rules:

1. Always wait minimum 24hrs (or 48 hours to be on safe side) after your lash lift application before applying a lash growth serum.
2. Apply your serum consistently/regularly (without any break) during the initial period (usually 3 months).
3. Don’t apply the serum more frequently than recommended by the manufacturer’s.
4. Let the serum dry for about 5 minutes before you apply eye makeup (if needed).
