Poker Straight Lashes : Curl Away!

| July 13th, 2007 | Eye Love, Kikay Tools

As a followup to my previous entry about eyelash curlers, there is another scenario that can make both the two famed eyelash curlers, Shu Uemura and Shiseido, seem not working ( thus, to a girl’s disappointment, she may say that there is no hope for her! ) – that is, having poker-straight lashes. Do you feel that sometimes, your lashes just keep on “straightening themselves” even after endless attempts of using the eyelash curler, even violating rule # 1 to squeeze gently the curler so as not to damage the lashes?

The case of the poker-straight lashes is another problem that can be solved in three ways.

1. Have your lashes permed. – There are salons there that offer this service. This would set you back around 250 pesos and up. The advantage is that you don’t need to curl your lashes everyday, it’s like an “automatic curl” for you.

2. Use a heated eyelash curler – Battery operated heated eyelash curlers can be your substitute for normal eyelash curlers, as they provide heat, and temporarily “perm” the lashes. The best so far, that I have heard about, is the Blinc Heated Eyelash Curler(shown on the picture).

3. Since there are not much heated eyelash curlers sold here ( if anyone knows where, please kindly share! ), here’s a trick. Use your hair blower to heat your eyelash curler for about 5 seconds ,and use your eyelash curler like you normally do. Be careful, though , because like curling irons, metals, when heated, can burn the skin!

Well then, everything is solved in the eyelash department ( well , not quite, I’ve thought of one thing again, but let’s save it for another week! I don’t want to dwell on lashes for a whole week! Haha! ) ! If you have any questions you’d like me to answer or have any topic requests, please feel free to email me at kikaykits [@] gmail [.] com.

Happy Weekend!
