Thinking of getting your lashes done? Today, there are a variety of 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 eyelash extension. Here we go through the difference between these two treatments to make it clearer which of them might suit you best!
Eyelash extension
When you extend your lashes, the lash stylist uses small individual lashes that 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 lash 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 slightly longer lashes and a denser look? Or do you want to invest more in a dramatic look with thick and heavy lashes? It is entirely up to you. Between your treatments, you don't have to worry about maintaining your extensions too much, however, at least one visit a month is required to keep your eyelash extensions both neat 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 for a Lash lift is a different type of treatment to boost your own lashes. During a lash lift, your lashes are permanent and the stylist creates a nice 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 doesn't create quite the dramatic look that a lash extension does. A Lash lift tends to stay pretty longer than a regular extension as the effect gradually wears off as new lashes grow out. If you like slightly more natural lashes with a wow effect, Lash Lift is for you!
Which one should you choose?
If, above all, 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 clearly the treatment for you. The treatment does not require a lot of maintenance on your part and you keep your fine result for a longer period. If, on the other hand, you wish to add proper length to your lashes and create a more dramatic look, an eyelash extension will fit you like a glove, even though it may require a return visit within a shorter period of time.
