Damaged Lashes: Lash Lift Damage, Repair and Recovery

A lash lift should leave your natural lashes lifted, soft and healthy. If yours feel dry, brittle or too tightly curled after a lift, something has gone wrong. The good news is that lashes recover, with the right care and a little time.

How Lash Lift Damage Happens

A lash lift reshapes your natural lashes with a setting solution. When that solution is left on too long, used too frequently, or applied to lashes that were already fragile, the lashes can become over-curled, dry or stressed. It can happen anywhere, and it is more common than you might think.

Lashes grow and renew on a natural cycle, so this kind of damage is rarely permanent. The aim is to support your lashes while they recover, not to cover the problem up.

Keratin Lash Lift vs Lash Repair

The keratin lash lift at En Beauty is designed for healthy natural lashes. It creates a soft, beautiful curl while conditioning the lashes with keratin.

Lash Repair with Keratin Treatment is different. It is designed for lashes that have been over-curled, dried out or stressed by a previous lift. Rather than adding more curl, it gently relaxes the existing curl and brings your lashes back towards their natural shape, conditioning them as it works. The treatment takes 20 minutes and costs $49.

Caring for Your Lashes While They Recover

To help your lashes return to their natural condition:

Avoid rubbing or pulling your lashes.Avoid waterproof mascara, which is harder to remove and adds unnecessary stress.Avoid excessive heat and steam for the first 24 hours after any treatment.Keep your lashes nourished with a suitable conditioner.
