Lash Lift FAQs: Everything You Need to Know for Flawless, Long-Lasting Results

Are you curious about lash lifts and whether they’re right for you or your clients? You’re not alone! Lash lifts are one of the most popular beauty services today—but with popularity comes questions. From longevity to aftercare, we’ve rounded up the most frequently asked questions about lash lifts and answered them all right here.

At Elleebana, we’re proud to be global leaders in lash lift education and product innovation. Whether you’re new to lash lifts or a seasoned artist, this guide will give you the clarity and confidence to create stunning, safe, and long-lasting results — using the best in the business.

How long does a lash lift last?

A lash lift typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your client’s natural lash growth cycle and how well they follow aftercare instructions. Using a high-quality system like the Elleeplex Profusion Lash Lift System can help extend those results while nourishing the lashes during processing.

Will a lash lift damage my natural lashes?

When done correctly with professional products and training, a lash lift should not damage the lashes. In fact, our Elleeplex Profusion system and Elleebana One Shot System are formulated with lash health in mind, featuring nourishing ingredients. Plus, we offer advanced education that teaches proper timing, technique, and lash assessment — so you lift safely and confidently, every time.

Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?

Yes, you can wear mascara after a lash lift — but we recommend waiting 24–48 hours post-treatment to allow the lashes to fully set. For best results, avoid waterproof formulas and opt for nourishing mascaras, such as our Elleevate Lash Lift Mascara, specially designed to complement lifted lashes without breaking down the curl. Plus, this mascara CAN be worn directly after a lash lift without affecting the results!

How do I maintain my lash lift results?

Maintaining a lash lift is all about aftercare. Here are a few essential tips:

  • Avoid heat, steam, or heavy makeup for 24 hours.

  • Don’t rub your eyes or sleep face-down.

  • Use a nourishing aftercare product like Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare daily to keep lashes hydrated and healthy.

  • Encourage clients to brush their lashes gently with a clean spoolie.

 

What’s the difference between a lash lift and lash extensions?

A lash lift enhances the natural lashes by curling and lifting them from the root, giving a wide-eyed, defined look with zero maintenance. Lash extensions, on the other hand, involve applying synthetic lashes onto natural lashes to add length, volume, and drama. A lift is perfect for clients who want a low-maintenance enhancement, while extensions offer more customization and fullness.

How soon can I get a lash lift again?

We recommend waiting at least 6–8 weeks between lash lifts to ensure the natural lash cycle has reset. It’s important to assess the clients lashes before they get another lash lift to ensure their lashes are in a healthy condition. Over-processing can lead to dryness or breakage, which is why proper timing and technique — taught in all Elleebana training programs — is essential.

Why did my lash lift not last or drop quickly?

There are a few common reasons:

  • Incorrect processing times (too short or too long).

  • The lashes weren’t fully cleaned or prepped.

  • The client did not follow the aftercare instructions given to them.

  • There was too much adhesive left on the lashes.

The managing director of Elleebana – Otto Mitter, taught a live webinar on the phenomenon of “The False Lift Paradox”. Dive deeper into the topic of ‘why did my lash lift drop overnight’ here.

Don’t Get Tricked by DIY Lash Kits: Why You Shouldn’t Try This at Home & How to Fix Over-Processed Lashes

Don’t Get Tricked by DIY Lash Kits: Why You Shouldn’t Try This at Home & How to Fix Over-Processed Lashes

Don’t let your lashes become a Halloween horror story! In this blog, we’ll explore three spine-chilling reasons to stay away from DIY lash lifting kits and explain how Elleebana’s industry leading products can help you fix these frightening lash mishaps.

🎃 3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID DIY LASH LIFTING KITS 👻

  1. Safety First 🧪

Lash lifting requires precision and the use of chemicals. Without professional guidance, you risk irritation, burns, and even the dreaded over-processing that can lead to lash damage. Don’t let your lashes become a safety nightmare!

  1. Unpredictable Results 🧟

DIY kits often promise beautiful results but can leave you looking like a fright. Professionals know the exact timing and technique required to avoid leaving you with lashes that are over-curled, uneven, or worse than before. Don’t let your lashes be haunted by poor results!

  1. Lack of Customisation 🎭

Every set of lashes is unique. A one-size-fits-all approach from a DIY kit doesn’t account for lash length, thickness, or texture, leaving you with unflattering results that can make your lashes look downright scary. Professionals tailor the lift to suit each client’s natural lash profile for a flawless finish every time.

🔮HOW TO RESCUE OVER-PROCESSED LASHES

If a client comes to you with a lash horror story from a DIY kit, don’t be spooked! Here’s a step-by-step guide to relaxing over-curled lashes and bringing them back from the brink of fright:

  • Prepare the lashes as you would before a lash lift to ensure they’re in suitable condition.
  • Apply Step 1 lotion using a micro brush, brushing downwards on the tips of the lashes only. Avoid skin contact.
  • Observe as the lashes begin to relax and straighten. Keep track of your processing time — for example, Educator Amie used 3 minutes on her client.
  • Remove Step 1 lotion carefully and repeat the process with Step 2 setting lotion. Amie’s client required only 2 minutes.
  • Cleanse thoroughly with a damp cotton pad and eye bath to ensure all lotions are removed.
  • Finish with nourishing aftercare! Apply ReGEN Next Gen, the world’s most innovative step 3 treatment to the lashes and let the lashes soak in all of those nourishing ingredients for 3-5 minutes. To go one step further, offer your clients the opportunity to purchase some aftercare to ensure the lashes remain in the best possible condition. To maintain stunning results and enhance cell generation and hydration, Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare is your go-to choice. And for our vegan beauty enthusiasts, the Hyaluronic Boost Serum is your hydration hero, promoting healthy hair growth, strength and volume. Encourage them to apply it morning and night to ensure their lashes bounce back from the damage from the DIY kit.

Don’t let a DIY kit turn your client’s lash dreams into a nightmare. With professional-grade products and expert care, you can rescue their lashes from any scare!

Stay Safe and Lash On, Elleefam! 🎃👻
