What Is Lash Lift?

A lash lift works similarly to a perm for your hair. A technician applies your natural lashes onto a silicone shield, then uses a lifting solution to break and reform the bonds in the lash hairs, setting them in a curled position. The process takes about 45–60 minutes and the results last through your natural lash growth cycle (6–8 weeks). Unlike lash extensions, a lash lift doesn't add length or volume—it simply curls what you already have. It's popular for people who want a low-maintenance alternative to curling lashes daily or wearing extensions. A lash tint is often added to darken lashes, creating an even more dramatic no-mascara look.
