What's the secret to perfect lash lift results?

Ever noticed that lashes can look a little… underwhelming after a lash bath?
Don’t panic—it’s not because water ruins a lash lift (it doesn’t!). But there’s a key step many overlook: thoroughly drying the lashes.

The Truth About Wet Lashes After a Lash Bath

When lashes are wet, the extra weight from the water can pull them downward, making them appear less lifted than they actually are. This can leave both you and your client feeling like the results didn’t turn out as expected—when in reality, they just need to dry.

💦 Drying Tip: Use a tissue to gently pat lashes dry. If you have a lash fan, lightly brush through the lashes while applying airflow to speed up the process. This helps them spring back into their lifted shape.

Why Styling Matters

Once the lashes are fully dry, styling them into place is just as important as the lift itself. Using a spoolie to separate and guide the lashes into a neat, fanned-out shape instantly enhances their look—think polished, not just lifted.

The Power of Aftercare

Hydration is the unsung hero of lash lifts. Applying an aftercare serum once the lashes are dry helps:

• Lock in moisture for softness and shine

• Plump and smooth the lash cuticle

• Protect against daily wear and tear

• Boost volume and a glossy finish

💅🏽 Pro Tip: A well-formulated aftercare serum not only nourishes the hair but also makes styling easier—keeping that flawless, lifted look lasting longer.

A Crucial Step Before Tinting

If you’re tinting post-lift, always make sure the lashes are completely dry first. This allows you to check the lift and make any corrections—such as relaxing or relifting—before adding color. Skipping this step could mean tinting twice, since lotions can strip color during corrections.

The Takeaway

If you ever feel underwhelmed after finishing a lash lift, don’t rush to judgment. Spend those extra minutes drying, styling, and applying aftercare. You’ll not only reveal the true results of your lift but also give your client that perfect, picture-worthy finish they were hoping for.
