Do you feel like your eyelashes are missing something? On one hand, achieving a fuller look with mascara can be tedious and time-consuming, but getting extensions isn’t the best fit every time either. That’s why knowing when to schedule an eyelash lift and tint is crucial!

If you’re busy juggling work commitments, and family obligations, or just have limited free time in general, this blog post will give you helpful advice on how long to wait between appointments so that your lashes stay looking their best. 

Who has the time—let alone the energy—to keep up with all those beauty routines like eyebrow waxing, eyelash tinting, and lash lifting? We get it! And we’d love to help simplify things for you in this blog post. Because knowing when it is safe to have that next appointment at your favorite spa or salon is key for achieving an effortlessly put-together look without having to constantly be shuffling around different appointments. 

So if one of these treatments happens to be a part of your routine, let’s talk about how long you should wait between eyelash lifts and tints so that you can keep looking glamorous without overdoing any treatments.

First things first, let’s talk about what makes eyelash lifts and tints so great! An eyelash lift is a perm for your lashes that gives them a natural-looking curl lasting up to 8 weeks. Combined with an eyelash tint, you can expect fuller, darker lashes that will turn heads! You can choose from a variety of colors including blue-black, dark brown, or even rose gold for that extra pop.

How It Works

An eyelash lift and tint use gentle solutions to curl your lashes from the root and darken them so they appear longer and darker without mascara. The products used in the treatment are safe and generally non-irritating. The procedure only takes anywhere from 45 minutes- 60 minutes, but the results last up to 8 weeks depending on how quickly your natural lashes grow out.

How Often Should I Get an Eyelash Lift & Tint?

The frequency at which you should get an eyelash lift and tint depends on several factors, such as the type of product used for the treatment, your skin type, and the strength of the lifting serum. Generally speaking, most lash professionals recommend waiting 6-8 weeks between appointments. This will give time for your lashes to fully grow out before they are re-treated. 

This will ensure that your lashes remain curled and tinted throughout their growth cycle. Keep in mind that if your natural lashes start to look sparse or thin, it may be time for a break from these treatments as they can cause additional damage or stress on already weakened lashes.  

It’s also important to note that you should not get a lash lift or tint too soon after getting extensions as this could cause further damage or irritation. Always check with your lash artist before scheduling another appointment if you have had extensions in the past weeks.  

Finally, it’s important to remember that everyone’s lash cycle is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. Talk with your lash artist about what type of schedule would work best for you based on your own needs and preferences. Also, keep in mind that oil-based products will break down the curl more quickly than water-based products do.

Maintaining Your Lashes in Between Treatments

If you want to maintain your lashes in between treatments, there are a few things you can do:

•  First, be gentle when brushing or combing your lashes. Use a clean mascara wand or spoolie brush with soft bristles so that you don’t accidentally pull out any of your precious eyelashes! 
• Second, avoid rubbing your eyes or applying too much pressure when taking off eye makeup. Don’t aggressively cleanse around the eyes as these are delicate areas that need to be treated gently. For example, opt for a soft eyelid cleanser morning and night – this will help keep eyelids hydrated and free from bacteria. 
• Third, use a nourishing lash serum at night before bed to keep them looking their best.
• And fourth, try using oil-free makeup remover wipes rather than harsh makeup removers that could potentially damage your delicate eyelashes over time.

Things To Avoid

Make sure to avoid oil-based products around the eye area as this can weaken the eyelash lift and affect its longevity. Secondly, try not to use waterproof mascaras and be careful of particular eyelash serums as some of these are also known to break down the curl of the eyelash lift. 

Lastly, after showering, gently pat your eyelashes with a clean cloth so that they don’t become too wet or risk losing their curl. Resist the temptation to touch or pick at them. This could cause eyelashes to not only move but also cause stress on the eyelid skin. With these simple steps in place, you can maximize the lifespan of your lash lift and enjoy beautiful eyelashes all day long!

Are There Any Side Effects?

As long as your technician is experienced and uses quality products during your appointment, side effects are very minimal—if any at all! Just avoid getting any water directly on your lashes for 48 hours after the procedure—otherwise, this could cause premature breakdown of the curl. Additionally, be mindful not to rub or pull on your lashes excessively as this could lead to breakage or damage over time. 

 

Overall, make sure always to wait 6-8 weeks between appointments and follow up with some simple maintenance practices like gentle brushing and nourishing lash serums so that you can keep your lashes looking their best until it’s time for another treatment. 

Also scheduling regular appointments for an eyelash lift and tint is a great way to keep your eyes looking bright and vibrant all year round! If done correctly, these treatments can help boost confidence while making everyday makeup routines much simpler—but always remember that everyone’s lash cycle is different so be sure to talk with your professional about how often you should come back in for maintenance appointments! With the right care, you’ll always have perfect curls adorning those gorgeous eyes of yours!

So don’t wait any longer – go ahead and book that next appointment today! You won’t regret it!
