What is the difference between lash lifting and eyelash lifting?
Lash lifting and eyelash lifting describe the same cosmetic procedure that aims to lift the natural eyelashes to create more curl and a more awake look. The only differences are in the use of the terms:
Conceptual differences:
- Lash lifting: This term comes from English and has become established internationally. It often appears more modern and is used primarily in trend-conscious cosmetic studios.
- Eyelash lifting: The German term describes the same procedure and is used especially in German-speaking countries and in traditional beauty salons.
The procedure:
In both cases, the same technique is used: the natural eyelashes are placed on a silicone mold and fixed with special lotions to achieve the desired curl. The result lasts about 6 to 8 weeks.
Misunderstandings:
- Some studios also offer eyelash tinting or special care treatments and market this as part of the lash lifting.
- The term “eyelash lift” may be perceived as less modern in some contexts, although there is no difference in the actual procedure.
Difference to other treatments:
- Eyelash extensions: This involves adding artificial eyelashes to increase length and volume.
- Eyelash perm: This method also curls the eyelashes, but the effect is less strong and does not last as long as with lash lifting.
Conclusion: Lash lifting and eyelash lifting are different terms for the same treatment. There is no significant difference, except for the linguistic usage.
