Lash Extensions vs Lash Lift: Differences Durability and Maintenance
​

Depending on the growth, fall out, and shedding of your natural eyelashes, a lash lift may last between 4 and 6 weeks.
With proper maintenance, eyelash extensions may last up to 4 weeks. With the right maintenance, however, lash extensions will last longer.
Also, eyelash extensions are expensive to maintain considering the regular touch-up requirement. Lash lifts require little maintenance since you’ll not need to go for a touch-up after the treatment.

​

Lash Lift Only Works if You Have Enough Natural Lashes

Because lash lift only works with enough natural lashes, you may not get the results you want if:

• Your lashes are not full
• You have short lashes
• You don’t like your natural lashes

If the above is the case, the best option is to have eyelash extensions. Remember, getting a lash lift will not add the volume or length of your lashes.
With eyelash extensions, you can still have natural-looking lashes depending on your choice of lash extensions. They will boost your short or few natural lashes, giving you a more beautiful look.

Customization

With eyelash extensions, you can customize them to suit your look for the day. For instance, you can ask your lash artist to choose a different color, thickness, curl level, or length of your eyelash extensions for that perfect look.
For lash lift, customization is limited since you can only get lash tinting to add color to your natural lashes.

Schedule a Consultation

So, what's the verdict? If you're looking for a way to add some extra length and volume to your lashes that last for several weeks, then lash extensions are a great option.
However, if you're looking for something that is less expensive and doesn't require any added maintenance, then a lash lift may be the better choice for you. Ultimately, it's up to you what type of treatment you want to get – just make sure to do your research first!
