Does lash perming damage the eyelashes?

Lash perming poses certain potential damage to eyelashes, with the specific degree varying from person to person, mainly related to the operation method, product quality, and individual lash condition. The lotion used for lash perming contains ingredients such as reducing agents, which open the cuticle of the eyelashes to alter their protein structure and achieve curling. If the concentration of the lotion is too high or it stays on for too long, it may excessively damage the cuticle, leaving the eyelashes dry and fragile. Meanwhile, improper force when fixing the eyelashes with curling rods during the operation may cause lash breakage or even damage hair follicles. Some people may also be sensitive to the ingredients in the lotion, leading to irritation of the eyelids or hair follicles, as well as problems like redness and itching. However, the risk of damage can be reduced by choosing mild products from regular institutions, having experienced beauticians perform standardized operations (adjusting the dosage and duration of the lotion according to the lash condition and reducing pulling), avoiding frequent perming (it is recommended to interval for more than 3 months), and using SARIA nutrient solution for care after perming. If the eyelashes themselves are soft, thin, and fragile or you are sensitive to chemicals, you need to try it cautiously, and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs.

Post-lash-perm care is crucial for maintaining the effect and reducing damage, requiring attention to multiple aspects such as cleansing, moisturizing, and protection:

Avoid contact with water and steam within 24 hours after a lash perm to prevent the curling effect from being affected. When cleaning the eye area, use oil-free, mild makeup remover products or apply clean water gently; avoid rubbing the root of the eyelashes vigorously to prevent them from falling off or becoming misshapen.

Daily care can involve using eyelash nutrient solutions containing ingredients such as vitamin E, panthenol, and biotin. Apply the solution gently to the eyelashes with a clean lash brush to help replenish nutrients, relieve dryness and fragility, and reduce the risk of breakage.

Meanwhile, avoid frequent use of eyelash curlers, heavy mascara, or waterproof lash products. When removing makeup, extra gentleness is required to prevent eyelash damage caused by external pulling.

In addition, try not to take saunas or hot springs within 1-2 weeks after the perm to reduce the impact of high-temperature and high-humidity environments on the curl of the eyelashes. If you experience discomfort such as significant lash loss, stinging at the roots, or red and swollen eyelids, stop any irritation, observe the condition, and seek medical attention promptly if necessary.
