Lash Lifts in Baltimore – Is it Worth the Investment?

BALTIMORE - March 5, 2023 - PRLog -- BACKROUND

A lash lift is a semi-permanent procedure that helps to curl and volumize your lashes. The procedure involves gently perming the lashes into a more tightly curled + defined appearance. The results only last for around 6-8 weeks. It's important to note that lash lifts DON'T extend the length of your lashes.

As of now, there are only a few salons that provide lash lifts within the Baltimore and Towson areas - likely due to the multitude of complications associated with lash lifting. Within this article, we'll explore the process of lash lifting and who in Baltimore may benefit from the service (spoiler alert: most clients will be better candidates for eyelash extensions applied by a reputable salon like Lash Lab of Baltimore (https://www.lashlab.io/services)).

THE SCIENCE

Recall that the active ingredient in lash lifts is Ammonium Thioglycolate, a highly caustic chemical also used in hair perms.

This chemical works by breaking disulfide bonds (keratin bonds) within your hair in a process that is irreversible. However, if a solution containing Ammonium Thioglycolate is allowed to process for an extended period of time you will experience damage to the keratin bonds - leading all the way to the complete destruction of each individual hair strand. This destroys the integrity of your hair and leads to a frazzled appearance.

Many unsuspecting clients have been lured into trying lash lifts due to the dazzling before & pictures, but ultimately it is too difficult to accurately control the processing of Ammonium Thioglycolate on eyelashes. Results will vary significantly based on the acumen of your esthetician and your natural hair patterns.

CONCLUSION

All in all, lash lifts may help you in a pinch but are not a true substitute for lash extensions (https://www.lashlab.io/services). It's important to understand that lash lifts are a great option for those who already have long + full lashes. A lash lift won't add length and will only add a minimal boost to your volume - while bearing a host of potential side effects leading up to blindness!

We strongly recommend that you consider a set of professionally applied lash extensions for a semi-permanent lash look that's suitable for all lash lengths. With all the benefits lash extensions have to offer, who wouldn't want to try getting them?
