Does Lash Lift and Tint Damage Lashes?

Lash Lifting, Tinting Services

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at April 8th, 2022

If you’ve been considering lash lift and lash tinting treatments, you may have heard conflicting information regarding the potential damage they can bring to your natural eyelashes. You may have heard about chemicals within the adhesives or live with an underlying health condition that contributes to sensitive skin. Well, Chic Lash to the rescue! We’re here to answer some of the most important questions about lash lifts and tints to ease your worries! Spoiler alert, the biggest takeaway: a lash lift or tint won’t damage your lashes when performed by a licensed professional.

Lash Lift vs. Lash Tint

Lash lifts act like a perm for your eyelashes to over-simplify the process. They can sometimes be mistaken for eyelash extensions, but the process is different. Lash lifts enhance your eyelashes more subtly, whereas extensions tend to be a more dramatic result. Lash lifts add more shape and volume to your natural eyelashes without adhering false lashes to your own. Conversely, lash tints temporarily dye your eyelashes to create a more striking color dynamic.

Before Your Lash Lift

The entire lash lift process takes about 45 minutes to complete. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before your lash lift and replace them with your glasses. Completely rid your eyelids of anything that could interfere with the lash lift, cleaning off any makeup, makeup remover oils, and mascara before the treatment. If you live with an underlying eye or skin condition, make sure you do some research to find out if there are increased risks associated with lash lifts. Your lash artist will ask you about potential allergens before any treatment begins.

Does Lash Lift and Tint Damage Lashes? Potential Risks

A lash lift is safe with proper research, consideration, and preparation. However, before scheduling an appointment, there are some potential risks to keep in mind. There are perming chemicals involved in the process, which come with potential risks for people with underlying eye or skin conditions. Symptoms of potential reactions include the following:

Eye infections
Allergic reactions
Styes
Chronic dry eye
Watery eyes

Experienced professionals can also determine the processing time based on your natural lashes. The biggest mistake that often happens at home or with inexperienced artists is overprocessing lashes.

Preventing Damage - See a Professional

Lash lifts are safe with the right professional performing the job. When looking for a lash lift and tint artist, source a licensed professional, and if you’re wary, ask to see their credentials. Certain states often require lash lift professionals to be licensed. Professionals working at a reputable lash lift salon will ask about underlying conditions ahead of time. They’ll be able to determine whether it’s safe to perform a lash lift based on your information. Always schedule an appointment with a licensed, well-experienced lash lift professional to prevent potential damage or negative reactions.
