Traditional vs. Keratin Infusing Lash Lifts

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 and Keratin Infusing Lift? We're breaking down the pros and cons in this blog.

Traditional Lift

Pros:

• Lower Cost

• Can get wet anytime after the service, though we strongly recommend waiting 4 hours so the leave in conditioners can provide maximum benefit

Cons:

• Uses ammonium thioglycolate which is harder on the lash and carries a risk of over processing (though minimal at The Sassy Lash Studio as we closely monitor the lash condition throughout the procedure)

• Dehydrates the lashes

• Cannot be repeated more often than 6 weeks to avoid over-processing

Keratin Infusing Lash Lift

Pros:

• Uses pure cysteamine instead of ammonium thioglycolate so there is no risk of over processing
  

• The lashes can be safely reshaped from root to tip
  

• Can be repeated as often as desired (but 8 weeks is typical)

• Can be used to correct an overprocessed, or awkwardly growing out traditional lift

• Damage Free

• Made from EWG green grade raw materials 

• Pure Cysteamine System
  

• Infusion step that rebuilds hairs from the inside out + increases follicle growth
  

• No synthetic fragrance or parabens

• No ethanolamine

• No ammonia

• No sodium bromate

• Vegan + Cruelty Free

Cons:

• Higher Price

• It is recommended to keep the lashes dry and away from steam for 24 hours.
  

Conclusion: Both are great services and can even be alternated to get the best of both worlds! To really protect and fortify the lashes, the Keratin Infusing Lift is the winner!
