Lash Lifting vs. Lash Extensions: Which Is Right for You?
When it comes to enhancing your lashes, there are two popular options: lash lifting and lash extensions. Both offer beautiful results, but how do you choose which one is right for you? Let’s break down the differences, benefits, and which option best suits your lifestyle.
What Is Lash Lifting?
Lash lifting is a semi-permanent treatment that lifts and curls your natural lashes from the root, creating the appearance of longer, fuller lashes. It’s a low-maintenance option for those who want a natural enhancement without the need for extensions or daily mascara.
Duration: The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Lasts: Results last 6-8 weeks.
Maintenance: Minimal. No touch-ups required between treatments.
Best for: Clients who prefer a natural look and already have relatively healthy lashes.
What Are Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions involve applying individual synthetic or silk fibers to your natural lashes to create length, volume, and curl. This treatment offers more dramatic results than lash lifting and is fully customisable to your preferences.
Duration: Application takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the style.
Lasts: Lash extensions last up to 6-8 weeks, with refills recommended every 2-3 weeks.
Maintenance: Requires regular refills to maintain fullness.
Best for: Clients looking for a bolder, more dramatic lash look without daily makeup application.
