Quick answer
Always follow the instructions for the system used during the initial period after a Lash Lift. Afterwards, gentle cleansing, careful handling, and regular brushing are generally more important than avoiding all moisture. Do not rub your lashes and do not attempt to correct the curl at home.
A Lash Lift alters the shape of natural lashes for a limited period. Longevity is affected by the lash growth cycle, starting condition, treatment, and daily wear – aftercare should therefore preserve order and minimize unnecessary friction.

Aftercare over time
| Timing | Prioritize | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Immediately after treatment | Follow the technician's system-specific instructions | Mixing advice from different brands and treatments |
| Once the system's initial time limit has passed | Cleanse gently and brush dry lashes | Hard rubbing and pressing lashes out of shape |
| In daily life | Remove makeup gently and keep lashes clean | Sleeping with heavy eye makeup or pulling at crossed lashes |
| When new lashes grow in | Accept that the direction will gradually become more mixed | Attempting to perm or trim individual lashes at home |
Five habits that help the result
Cleanse without friction
Do not rub hard over the lashes. Dissolve makeup with a suitable product and rinse thoroughly.
Brush when lashes are dry
A clean lash brush helps the lashes lie in an orderly fashion. Do not press the lashes against the eyelid.
Be careful with mechanical pressure
Sleep, eye masks, and towels can affect the direction if they press hard against the lashes.
Use makeup that is easy to remove
The best choice is a product that provides the desired result without requiring harsh cleansing.
Plan the next treatment
Wait until the condition of the lashes and the system's recommended treatment interval allow for a new treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Lash Lift last?
The result remains on the treated lashes as the natural lashes grow and shed. Perceived longevity therefore varies between individuals and treatments.
When can you wash your lashes after a Lash Lift?
Follow the instructions for the specific system used by the technician. Different products may have different recommendations.
Can you use mascara after a Lash Lift?
Yes, once the system's initial aftercare period has passed and if the technician's instructions permit it. Preferably choose a mascara that can be removed gently.
Should you use oil or serum?
Use only products that are compatible with the treatment and the eye area. Follow the technician's and manufacturer's instructions.
Why are the lashes messy after a few weeks?
New, untreated lashes grow in while older treated lashes shed. This naturally leads to a more mixed direction.
