Castor Oil = Magic? Why Your Lashes & Brows Need It!
So, you just got a lash lift + tint or a brow lamination—and you’re obsessed,right?! Your lashes look perfectly curled and dark, and your brows are fluffy and full… but to keep them looking flawless for as long as possible, aftercare is everything.
If you want to protect your investment and keep your lashes and brows strong, hydrated, and long-lasting, here’s everything you need to know.
Why Aftercare Matters
Lash lifts, tints, and brow laminations involve chemical processing similar to a perm. While these treatments enhance your natural beauty, they can also leave your lashes and brows a little more fragile & dehydrated. That’s why proper care is key to keeping them healthy and ensuring your results last!
Castor Oil: The Hydration Hero
One of the best ways to keep your lashes and brows nourished after a treatment? Castor oil! This natural, vitamin-rich oil is a game-changer for hydration and strength.
✨ Moisturizes & Conditions – Keeps lashes and brows from feeling dry or brittle.
✨ Supports Growth – Packed with fatty acids and nutrients to keep hair strong.
✨ Extends Your Results – Hydrated lashes and brows hold their shape better over time.
💡 How to Use It: Apply a small amount of castor oil to your lashes and brows every night using a clean spoolie, a little goes a long way!
The 24 Hour Rule: What NOT to Do
The first 24 hours after your treatment are crucial. Here’s what you should avoid to prevent altering your results:
🚫 No water or steam – Keep lashes and brows completely dry to allow the lift or lamination to fully set.
🚫 No rubbing or touching – Let the hair stay in place to avoid disrupting the shape.
🚫 No oil-based products – Oils can weaken the chemical process if applied too soon.
Following these simple steps will ensure your lift and tint or lamination lasts as long as possible!
Timing Is Everything: When to Book Your Next Appointment
While it’s tempting to re-book your next lash or brow treatment ASAP, it’s essential to wait the proper time between appointments to avoid over-processing.
✔ Lash Lift + Tint: Every 6-8 weeks to allow lashes to naturally shed and grow.
✔ Brow Lamination: Every 6-8 weeks to maintain healthy, fluffy brows without damage.
Overdoing these treatments too soon can weaken your lashes and brows, so trust the process and give them time to recover!
PRO TIP: Come back 3-4 weeks after your lift and tint or brow lamination to get the tint touched up!
Final Thoughts
Taking care of your lashes and brows after a service is just as important as the treatment itself. By following these aftercare steps—hydrating with castor oil, avoiding moisture for 24-48 hours, and waiting the proper time between appointments—you’ll keep your results looking gorgeous while keeping your natural lashes and brows strong and healthy.
