I'm toying with the idea of having mine done.

But I was wondering, how long does it last?

Is it painful?

And does is make much of a difference?

Thank you muchly

I had mine done for the first time last week and tbh I'm underwhelmed.

It isn't painful, and you can tell the difference, but I don't think I'll bother again.

Now having them tinted on the other hand I do like, and will have it done again next summer.

I've had mine done a few times, it's o.k but a lot of the result depends on how well the process is completed and what type of eye lashes you have.

You tend to get the best results of shorter lashes as the difference is most noticable.

It takes about an hour to do and doesn't hurt... unless they get the perming lotion in you eye!

My advise, if you are going to get it done, go to a beautician that you trust!

I have short stubby lashes, and I get in a pickle trying to get eyelash curlers to work (yes i am that incapable .

So thats why I wanted to give it a try

I might try it once and see how I get on, but am now not expecting to look like www.grow-eyelash.com/wp-content/uploads/superthicklashes.gif this]]

Maybe I was being a little unrealistic lol

I had mine done about ten tears ago. They fried and went frizzy It was particularly embarrassing explaining to my new boyfriend why my eyelashes had gone funny. I spent a fortune on some lash gel developed for burns victims.

I'm sure it hardly ever happens, though

Happened to me! Awful. Took a long time for them to look normal again. Basically until they had fallen out naturally and regrew normally. Never again.

I've changed my mind I don't want fried frizzy lashes.
