Eyelash Perming: The history, safety, dos and don'ts

Eyelash perming has been around at least since then 1990s. The procedure is not approved by the FDA and is not authorized in some states in the US. In looking for information, it's hard to find consistent data. Below is some of what info is available.

How long should a treatment last? An eyelash perm should last for approximately six to eight weeks.The perm should last the life of your eyelashes, which translates to approximately 5 months. Lash perming is best suited for those special occasions, like vacations, etc., and not for long-term use.The perm lasts around 4 to 8 weeks, which is the time it takes for your eyelashes to grow.

How are they done and what's the cost? A 2001 Time magazine article discusses of eyelash extensions. "Demand for the treatment has jumped from a handful of extensions a week in 1999 to 30 a day. Eyelash perms have been around longer, but they too are growing in popularity at places like the Ella Bache Spa in New York City.

"There, $65 will get you tinting and a perm that involves gluing lashes to a cotton roll and exposing them to curling chemicals for 20 minutes. But be careful; safety questions remain about some of these procedures. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved any permanent dyes for the eye area, and some states outlaw them."

Evolution of Lash Enhancers

+-4000 BC, Kohl
+-1916, False Eyelashes Invented
D.W. Griffith's landmark film Intolerance featured the first on-screen use of false eyelashes, which were created out of human hair and gauze.

The first eyelash curler showed up around the 1920s through 1930s; it was invented by the Kurlash company and was apparently more complicated to operate than the modern-day variety

Eyelash extensions have been around since the late 1990s, used mostly by fashion models and Hollywood. Eyelash extensions are worn by celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Star Jones, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Lucy Liu, Naomi Campbell and Liz Hurley. However, since the early 2000s, many suburban salons have offered this service. Eyebrow extensions are available as well, however are not as popular as eyelash extensions. False eyelash strips, or small groups of false eyelashes, are not considered to be "Eyelash Extensions." -- Wikipedia

"Your eyes water, you're blinking a lot, but .... "

Chicago Tribune

Chicago Tribune

Violet Leonard, 35, a freelance writer who lives in Oakland, Calif., has had an eyelash perm three times. She says the perm makes her eyes look flirty, and she doesn't feel the need to wear mascara.

She acknowledges that the perm does sting around the eyes, but she says it's worth not having to wrestle with an eyelash curler every morning.

"Your eyes water, you're blinking a lot, but because it doesn't take a lot of time, it's easy to get over," Leonard said.

Her last experience, however, wasn't very successful, she said. Because smaller rods were used, her eyelashes were wound so tight that they turned out too curly--she could feel her eyelashes touching her eyelid each time she blinked. The perm relaxed a little after about two weeks. But the experience won't keep Leonard from getting another perm before her wedding next year, she said.
