Hi all,

This is my third lift and the worst one yet. I posted a picture of my right lashes (pretty good) and left lashes.

Lift 1 - lashes were pretty intense to the point that they were hitting my brow bone. Surprisingly, both lashes remained the same. They looked great up until week 5 which is (from what I understand) completely normal. I got my second lift at week 7.

Lift 2 - This lift was way less dramatic and was a bit more natural. After 24 hours, my left lashes decided to go off on their own and started either straightening or bending. I spoke to my lash tech and she suggested that we relax them. She performed the service on day 4. They looked pretty good for a couple of weeks until they started to twist again. I used castor oil nightly to try to relax them, and it helped a tad, but wasn’t entirely effective.

Lift 3 - After 6 weeks and regular castor oil nighttime application, I decided to try a new lash tech based on a referral. She performed a pretty natural lift. Honestly it was less than I was used to, but that’s OK. Same deal, after about a week the lashes went haywire. I went back to ask her for advice and she said it appeared that the reason this was happening b is because I have less lashes on my left side. I genuinely do not think that’s the case, it’s just hard to visualize all of them since they are not uniform.

Anyway, I’m pretty crushed. I have a lot of events and travel coming up and I really loved the confidence the first lash lift brought. This just makes me feel really hopeless and concerned they will always be this way.

Oh, worth noting I sleep on both sides, waited 48 hours after the lift before getting them wet, and brush them lightly twice a day. I also only use a gentle cleanser on my face.

If you have any advice I’d love to hear it! Thanks!
