The Importance of Lash and Brow Aftercare

So you've just had a fantastic lash lift or brow lamination treatment and are on top of your game. But how do you ensure your brows and lashes continue to look as fabulous as they do right now? 

Just as you would give your hair special care after a dye job or perm, keeping your lashes or brows healthy and hydrated post-treatment is essential. Read on for aftercare tips you can apply to get the most out of your recent makeover.

How to Care for Your Lashes After a Lash Lift Treatment

Your lashes are delicate immediately following a lash lift treatment, so you must be as careful as possible. For the first 24 hours, follow these tips to ensure your lift doesn't drop and to ensure the treatment's longevity:

• Do not get your lashes wet. This includes but is not limited to, coming into contact with excessive moisture and steam from saunas and baths.
• Do not apply eyelash makeup or receive any other eye treatment.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes.
• Use a lash conditioner.
• Avoid wearing contact lenses.
• Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 48 hours.

After the first 24 hours, you can resume your normal daily activities with your fabulous lashes. We recommend, however, that you continue to use a lash conditioner daily. This will help you brush your lashes into place and nourish, strengthen, and protect them. Look for a product with nourishing ingredients such as keratin, biotin, and panthenol.

How to Care For Your Brows After a Brow Lamination Treatment

A brow lamination follows the same aftercare rules as a lash lift, with the first 24 hours being the most critical to ensure the treatment's longevity. If you want to maintain healthy, hydrated brows and avoid brittle or damaged brow hairs, follow these tips in the first 24 hours:

• Do not get your brows wet. This includes but is not limited to, coming into contact with excessive moisture and steam from saunas and baths.
• Do not apply eyebrow makeup or receive any other treatments around the brow area.
• Use a brow conditioner.
• Avoid rubbing your brows or touching them repeatedly.
• Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 48 hours.

Once you've reached the 24-hour mark following your treatment, it's safe to resume your daily life. Use brow conditioner daily, preferably with nourishing and protective ingredients, to keep your eyebrows solid and healthy. Also, remember that brow lamination is a low-maintenance solution rather than a no-maintenance solution, so you'll still need to brush your brows into place each morning to keep a well-groomed appearance.

Top 5 Most Nourishing Ingredients for Lashes and Brows

Your eyelashes and eyebrows can benefit from these nourishing ingredients that will promote their growth, strength, and overall well-being:

• Biotin: This B vitamin promotes hair growth by strengthening the hair follicles. This prevents breakage and supports the overall health of eyelashes and eyebrows, and is highly present in our Brow and Lash Toxx Serum.
• Castor oil: Rich in fatty acids, castor oil is ultra-moisturizing, promoting thicker and longer lashes and brows. Use a product containing this ingredient to help rebuild your hair structure and make it softer and shinier.
• Panthenol: It is sometimes referred to as provitamin B5 in products. It is known for its moisturizing properties. It helps keep lashes and brows hydrated, preventing dryness and brittleness.
• Peptides: Amino acid compounds peptides may help enhance the thickness and length of your lashes and brows by promoting protein synthesis.
• Vitamin E: An antioxidant that can help protect hair follicles from damage, vitamin E also contributes to overall hair health by preventing oxidative stress and promoting a healthy scalp.

Combine high-quality care products with eating a balanced diet and maintaining proper hydration. You'll no doubt be fielding compliments right and left from people who admire your healthy-looking eyelashes and eyebrows.

How Long Will a Lash Lift Last?

On average, a lash lift lasts 6 to 8 weeks. However, the duration will vary based on several factors, including your hair growth, commitment to proper aftercare, and the specific lash lift supplies the technician used during the treatment. 

Lash lifts aren't permanent because eyelashes' natural growth cycle involves shedding and regrowth. As your natural lashes shed, new ones will replace them. If you love the lifted look, consider booking an appointment with your lash stylist every 6 to 8 weeks or as needed.

How Long Will a Brow Lamination Last?

Brow laminations last around 6 to 8 weeks. However, your specific results may vary depending on how fast your hair grows, your aftercare routine, and the products your aesthetician uses.

Similar to a lash lift, brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment. Over time, your natural brow hairs go through their growth cycle and shed, with new hairs replacing them. A touch-up or a new brow lamination can be done every 6 to 8 weeks to keep your brows looking their best.
