How to lift very stubborn straight lashes

9 replies

Has anyone got any tips to lift very straight stubborn lashes ? My lashes are so straight , and actually a small number of the lashes grow downwards. I’ve tried all types and prices of different lash curlers and the curl last ten minutes max before dropping back down

Will a professional lash lift work on such stubborn lashes ?

Try heating the curlers with a hairdryer before curling, and then use clear mascara.

try LVL ? (Lengthen Volume Lift)

Mine are like yours. I've never been able to get a really good curl with curlers that lasts, despite trying loads of mascaras. I have Shu Uemera curlers which are good.

However, best thing for me was LVL which is a perm and tint. Lasts 5-6 weeks. Ask for the smallest shields as these will give the most curl! It's fab for straight and short lashes and definitely works. I've not had mine done for about two years as was pregnant then BFing but I need to book in!

I have the same lashes. LVL is my desert island treatment now.

you need a lash perm. you need someone who knows what they are doing. i've had about 4 or so.. 2 different therapists both did an amazing job, 1 failed to get any lift at all. i now have the power to curl my own eyelashes at home (!) but i'm a mother and too harassed to spend that kind of time on myself. i don't recommend this unless you are very DIY like i am and have had it done professionally first to see the process through.

Try Rapidlash serum. It's intended to condition your lashes so they don't break and grow to their full potential rather than actually make them curl - but this really does make my lashes curl and I'm sure it's because they're conditioned and soft rather than brittle.

I ALWAYS get asked if I'm wearing falsies when I've been using this.

LVL is amazing. I have flat and fine (albeit long) lashes that do not curl & LVL makes them look so good I don’t need mascara.
