All lash lifts work by adhering the lashes onto a mold, breaking the disulphide bonds of the hairs/lashes and then reforming those bonds keeping them locked in the new shape. So what's the difference between a traditional lift (we use industry leader, Elleebana) and the Keratin Lash Infusion? We're breaking down the pros and cons in this blog.
Traditional Lift (Elleebana)
Pros:
Lower Cost
Quicker appointment
Cons:
Shape may not relax over time (creating an awkward phase as new lashes grow in)
Dehydrates the lash and creates a stiffer texture
Only the base of the lashes are reshaped (the solution is too harsh for the finer tips)
Cannot be repeated more often than 6 weeks to avoid over-processing
Repeat treatments can result in kinked tips of lashes that were short during prior treatment and have since grown out
Keratin Lash Infusion
Pros:
100% Damage free guarantee
Leaves lashes softer, stronger and up to 40% thicker.
The lashes can be reshaped from root to tip
The new shape starts to relax at 4-6 weeks so it will blend with new growth
Can be repeated as often as desired (but 6-8 weeks is typical)
Can be done on an over-processed traditional lift to help repair the damage.
Cons:
Slightly higher investment
Slightly longer appointment (almost a pro because 20 minutes are spent napping with a warm eye mask on).
So, the Keratin Lash Infusion is the clear winner here but for those looking for a quicker service with less investment a traditional lift is still a great option offering lasting results!
