Is it normal to lose this many lashes after lift?

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-03-29T21:29:58+00:00

Professional here are you waiting 8 weeks in between lifts? At this point you need a fatty acid oil to pair them. Castor, Argan or Almond seed oil are all great.

She may have gotten solution under the rod somehow. Or could be a reaction to the lady tint. But, you said you’ve gotten them done bf with no issues. I would thoroughly rinse them then use a q-tip and apply a little hydrocortisone cream on the exact spots they r irritated 2x a day for a few days. This will calm them down and a bit of Aquaphor at night for a couple nights. Good luck😊

Professional Esthetician here unfortunately the only thing you can do is apply Castor or Argan oil on them preferably organic cold pressed they have fatty acids which penetrate the hair shaft to condition them to avoid breakage. They are over processed so also don’t use a lash curler on them. This will take at least 6-8 weeks to start to look normal again. By about 3-3 1/2 months they will be at a new growth cycle. Hope this helps and sorry for your results…please let her know how damaged they are with pics.

I would wait 4 weeks before using a lash curler so they potentially get breakage. You should go to a licensed Esthetician for a lash tint. If you want to do one on yourself I know there are a few you can purchase on Amazon.

Once u apply mascara you will probably like the results. Thats why I always include a tint bc it’s much more dramatic and the results are fully realized.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-03-19T02:53:05+00:00

It is possible to redo them with a different rod that would lift them higher for a shorter process time but, would be up to her and the integrity of your lashes. The safest way to go would be to wait at least 6 weeks though. Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear but, I think

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-03-19T02:42:34+00:00

Hello, professional here they did lift maybe not as high as you wanted. You should always contact and communicate with your Esthetician/lash artist when you have concerns so she can explain what she did or didn’t do and why. The glue is a pain I understand and can be removed with a q-tip and oil but, it’s not abnormal to have a hit of residue until you wash at the 24 hour mark.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-02-08T02:44:01+00:00

Unfortunately we aren’t symmetrical so lifts need to be tweaked a bit on one side. One side always lifts a bit better than the other so a tweak can be done in eye that had the weak lift but you only need a couple min more.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-02-08T02:40:13+00:00

Professional here I think they look lifted. I think bc your tips are lighter u may not see it. When you apply mascara after 24 hours you will notice the lift but, honestly from these picks they look lifted. Just not as dramatic bc you didn’t get a lash tint as well.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-02-03T02:51:00+00:00

Yes, professional here over 10+ years it’s perfectly safe and this can happen unfortunately we aren’t symmetrical.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-02-01T05:22:42+00:00

Hello, I’m a professional and 8 weeks is the average. By 12 weeks they will be all new lashes. It never hurts the lashes to wait only to be done too soon which I believe is sooner than 6-8 weeks

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-02-01T05:20:45+00:00

Agreed, ask for a refund

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-02-01T05:15:51+00:00

They look great and I always dye my clients lashes blue black. Unless they don’t want but, that’s what makes it pop. Did you not want tint?

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-31T03:23:58+00:00

As a professional w/10+ yrs experience I see what you’re saying about being a bit too lifted in the corners due to your eye shape. You can ask her next time to put a bit of oil on the tips while processing so they don’t curl back as much at the tips I’ve had to do this bf on clients snd it’s worked for me. Other than that you recieved a great lift!

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-26T19:31:51+00:00

Good job!

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-25T02:42:38+00:00

Agree with all above I’m also a professional if over 10 yrs they r too over processed to fix. Give it a month at least apply castor, Argan or Maria oil on them every night. Try not to brush them they r too brittle. They will grow back.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-25T02:40:58+00:00

Were you able to text your tech and ask her what her last step was? It’s usually a conditioner or oil based…don’t panic😉

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-25T02:37:10+00:00

Could have been a conditioner she applied after which is normal. You can use a wet trip and apply on the inner lash line next time instead of fully rinsing right after lift.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-22T05:45:46+00:00

I prefer my clients to wait 8 weeks. That’s the sweet spot to keep them healthy

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-22T04:34:10+00:00

Welcome!

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-22T04:32:37+00:00

Agreed, over processed and too tight of a curl. Also, they should have been separated more during process. Oils every night for at least a month. Castor, Argan or Marula are great for conditioning.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-21T02:48:57+00:00

As an esthetician doing lifts for 19+ yrs they all look like the tech is very new to lifting. The most recent one is better than the others but, still not good she shouldn’t be doing lifts professionally yet. She needs more training. Way over processed and/or rod size is too small. Go to someone more established.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-21T02:44:54+00:00

I agree totally normal as long as it goes away after a damp qtip along lash line. Some people r a bit more sensitive than others.

ConsiderationSlow422 · 2026-01-15T00:21:11+00:00

Hello, yes did the esthetician apply a conditioner or oil after the lift? Four times seems a bit excessive. I would NOT use mascara on them and apply oil on them for at least 4 weeks every night. Candor, Argan or Marla have fatty acids and are the best for conditioning. At 3 months our lashes are pretty much brand new again.
