Lash lifts aren’t for me…
Or for anyone with hyper sensitive eyes. I had a lash lift about a month ago, and while they were beautiful, my eyes had a delayed reaction to the perming agents. I really tried to love the lift, and I tried to maintain it for a couple days until my eyes started itching. I started getting this feeling of “there’s something in my eye” and I started getting these debris/crusts sitting on top of my lashes and it was what initially scared me because I thought they were lash mites. It started with severe itching, and my lashes feeling heavy when I would brush them up. I had an interview a couple weeks later, and I didn’t know that my eyes were already inflamed and it took the mascara to make it worse. I woke with a bump on the side of my right eye and it was there for weeks, only solution was warm compress. I tried everything, from diluted baby shampoo, to brushing them down, to even using an eyelid scrub just to keep them clean. I started washing them and scrubbing them gently, upwards and that’s what loosened the giant chunk of gunk in the middle of my upper lash line. My lashes are still curled from the perm but they’re finally sitting at their normal place. I’m still getting that foreign feeling and I’m still doing the warm compress and white, stringy gunk is still coming out of my right eye, but it made some progress. Lesson learned; I am never getting another lash lift ever.
