A keratin lash infusion is a new state-of-the-art technique that lifts and boosts natural eyelashes. It’s less damaging than extensions and doesn’t require touch-ups.
It’s also a great option for those who want to avoid the “mascara look.” Here are the facts about this popular beauty treatment.
What is Keratin?
Keratin is a protein that naturally makes up hair, nails and the outer layer of skin. It’s a tough, insoluble substance that forms helixes of polypeptide chains.
Keratin hair treatments (think Brazilian blowouts) are known for smoothing and straightening strands, but the ingredient is also available in more gentle at-home formulas.
For your eyelashes, a keratin treatment helps them look fuller and more dramatic. And it’s different from a regular lash perm, a service that curls your lashes rather than lifting them.
How Does It Work?
Keratin lash Infusion is a new way to boost your natural lashes. It lifts your lashes from the root up to increase their length, volume and height, leaving them looking fuller and more dramatic. It’s a great alternative to using falsies or manually curling your eyelashes daily.
Our patented lash treatment infuses real keratin into each lash hair, increasing its diameter by 40% and leaving them hydrated and strong instead of dry and frizzy like other lash lifts. It lasts six weeks (longer than lash extensions) and is safe for everyone.
It’s important to keep your lashes dry for the first 48 hours after your appointment; avoid water, steam, makeup, mascara and oil-based products.
What Are the Side Effects?
Wear protective pads along the eyelid during your lash lift service to prevent the keratin solution from touching your skin. You should avoid getting wet or steamy for 24 hours after treatment, such as swimming, hot showers, or saunas, to protect your eyes.
Unlike industry-standard lash perms that use chemicals that damage your natural lashes, leaving them kinked and frizzy weeks later, Yumi uses a patented keratin treatment that infuses your lashes with real keratin and charges peptides that leave them super hydrated and stronger. The results last up to six weeks! No more mascara or lash curlers are needed. This treatment is also a great alternative to eyelash extensions!
Is It Safe?
As a relatively new procedure, little is known about the potential side effects of lash lifts. However, Healthline reports that skin irritation may be a possibility. During the treatment, protective pads are placed along the eyeliner to prevent the keratin formula from contacting the eyes.
A keratin lash lift doesn’t use perm salts containing potentially harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. Instead, it uses low heat to gently reshape your lashes for an enhanced look that doesn’t require touch-ups.
The process is safe for all ages and skin types, but avoiding mascara and eyelash curlers a week before your appointment is important. In addition, you’ll need to stay away from steam, humid environments, showers, and heavy exercise for 24-48 hours.
How Long Will It Last?
Unlike traditional lash lifts that use perming solutions, keratin lash infusion uses real keratin and increases the size of your lashes by 40%. This allows your lashes to stay hydrated, strong, and healthy while looking natural.
It is recommended that you avoid using eyelash curlers and oil-based makeup products for at least two days before getting a lash lift. It would help if you also refrained from steam or hot showers, sleeping on your face, and any facial scrubs or harsh cleansers around your eyes.
If you are tired of manually curling your eyelashes or dealing with falsies, a lash lift may be right for you! A lash lift will last up to six weeks and is much more low-maintenance than eyelash extensions.
What Can I Expect?
Beautiful, full eyelashes are no longer just a “trend.” They’re a necessity for those who want to look their absolute best.
Our patented keratin lash infusion and conditioning treatment creates beautifully lifted, hydrated lashes that last up to 8 weeks! It is not a permit is the only lash lift that infuses real keratin into each lash.
This allows your lashes to grow thicker and stronger over time without damaging the delicate lashes like industry-standard perms do. It also helps heal the damage caused by lash curlers and mascara.
The keratin infusion closes and seals the entire lash, so you will never experience frizziness or odd-shaped lashes.
