Lash lift and brow lamination treatments have become increasingly popular beauty services in recent years. These treatments are designed to enhance the natural appearance of lashes and brows by using a chemical solution to shape and set the hairs in place. However, it’s important to know that aftercare plays a crucial role in ensuring the best results. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what can happen if you get your lashes and brows wet after a lash lift and brow lamination treatment.
What is a Japanese Keratin Lash Lift and Brow Lamination treatment?
A Japanese Keratin Lash Lift is a cosmetic treatment that lifts and curls the lashes from the base, giving the appearance of longer and fuller lashes. A Japanese Keratin Lash Lift can last for up to 8 weeks, and it’s a great alternative to lash extensions.
Brow Lamination is a similar process that involves reshaping and setting brow hairs in place to create a fuller and more defined look.
At Lucia Lash/Brow Philly, New York, Park Slope, Stamford, and Honolulu, the process involves using a very gentle perming solution, a cysteamine-based, and thioglycolic-free, to straighten and smooth the brow hairs, resulting in a polished and well-groomed appearance without compromising its health. Less chemical and no damage.
What Happens If You Get Your Lashes and Brows Wet After a Lash Lift or Brow Lamination Treatment?
If you get your lashes and brows wet after a lash lift or brow lamination treatment, you can undo the effects of the chemical solution that was applied during the treatment. This can cause the lashes and brows to lose their lifted and defined appearance, and the effects of the treatment may not last as long.
When the chemical solution is applied to the lashes and brows during the treatment, it needs time to set and work its magic. If water or moisture comes into contact with the treated area too soon, it can disrupt this process and cause the hairs to fall back into their original position.
In addition to affecting the longevity of the treatment, getting your lashes and brows wet too soon after the treatment can also cause irritation and redness around the treated area. This is because the skin around the eyes and brows is sensitive and can be easily irritated by moisture or friction.
Tips for Proper Aftercare
To ensure the best results and the longest-lasting effects of a Japanese keratin lash lift or brow lamination treatment, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician. Some tips to keep in mind include:
- Avoid getting the treated area wet for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid rubbing or touching the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Use a lash and brow serum to keep the lashes and brows healthy and nourished between treatments.
- Schedule regular touch-up appointments to maintain the effects of the treatment.
In conclusion, getting your lashes and brows wet after a lash lift or brow lamination treatment can undo the effects of the treatment and might cause irritation around the treated area. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure the best results and the longest-lasting effects of the treatment.
