One of the newest and currently most popular beauty trends is eyelash lifting, also known as lash lift or lash lifting. Maybe you've heard of it before, but don't know what it is exactly? Basically, the idea is to get curled eyelashes to enhance natural beauty. The use of mascara is no longer absolutely necessary after this (but can still be used for reinforcement) and you can banish the eyelash curler into the closet entirely. On the one hand, you can have your eyelashes curled in a beauty salon, but this can be expensive in the long run. Another option would be to take matters into your own hands. We will explain to you exactly how professional eyelash lifting works and how you can do the eyelash lifting yourself using natural means.
Eyelash lifting – what is it?
We have already mentioned that the lash lifting of the eyelashes involves bending. But what is lifting, how does it work and what exactly is done in the beauty salon to “lift”, shape and bend the eyelashes? In principle, this is quickly explained: After thoroughly cleaning the eye area to remove any remaining make-up or grease, the lower eyelashes are first covered so that they do not accidentally stick to the upper lash line during the procedure.
A silicone pad is then fixed on the eyelid directly above the upper lash line. A special adhesive is then applied to this pad, which has the following function: The eyelashes are now combed smoothly upwards with a brush and should remain stuck to the pad in order to maintain this smooth shape. To ensure that the straightened eyelashes stay that way, the next step is to apply a serum to the tips to fix them. After 10 minutes, a second solution is added that has the same function, namely to fix the eyelashes.
If you want, you can now also have your eyelashes colored to emphasize them. Whether with or without dyeing, the solution has to take effect for a while and is then removed, whereupon the silicone pad is also removed with simple water. This entire procedure takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Prices may vary. Depending on the growth time, which is individual for each individual, the eyelash lift can last between 6 and 8 weeks. So it grows out like a perm.
Do your own eyelash lifting using natural means
We admit, the result probably won't be as impressive as after a visit to the beautician. But with a few natural remedies you cangrowth of eyelashesstimulate and notice a big difference after just a few weeks.

In this way, you can do an eyelash lift yourself without much effort and, above all, costs and in a gentle way.
Do your own lash lifting with castor oil
Castor oil, also known as castor oil, is particularly well known for its growth-promoting properties. You can use its nourishing properties to your advantage. You can easily purchase the oil at the pharmacy and is best used in the evening before going to bed. First this will beFace thoroughly cleaned as usual. Also wash your eyes to remove all make-up and dirt. Now apply the oil to the lashes. Leave it on overnight. This gives it enough time to develop its effect. In the morning you will probably notice that your eyelids are still a little oily. In this case, simply remove the oil with a cotton pad and warm water or with your usual facial cleanser that you use to wash your face in the morning. After just a few weeks, you can notice a difference in the fullness of your eyelashes, provided you use castor oil regularly.
You can also do the lifting yourself with grape seed oil or aloe vera. These two miracle cures are also available in the pharmacy and are used in the same way as castor oil.
Tipp: To apply any care oil for the lashes quickly, easily and, above all, specifically, you can also use an unused children's toothbrush or a washed mascara brush. Simply dip the brush into the oil and use it to “make up” your lashes, brushing through them as if you wereApply mascara.
The DIY lifting of the eyelashes
Use an eyelash curler at the base as usual and be amazed at the results! And if you want something particularly dramatic, you can also apply one or two coats of mascara afterwards.
Curl eyelashes without an eyelash curler
Alternatively, you can use a simple ear swab. Yes, you read that right. To do this, heat the stick a little with a lighter. Don't get too close to the stick so that the plastic doesn't melt. Then wait a moment and let the cotton swab cool down a little. Now stroke it over your eyelashes several times like you would with mascara until you are satisfied with the result. A hairdryer can also be used if you don't have a lighter on hand. You can use it to either heat the stick or blow-dry your eyelashes directly while curling them upwards.
Danger!If you would like to do the eyelash lift yourself, you should keep in mind that this heat treatment is not recommended for everyday use and should only be chosen in exceptional cases. Like the hair on the head, the eyelashes are sensitive to heat. Since these are very thin and fine hairs, they are even more sensitive. If treated too often, the eyelashes can break or even fall out.
