"  I was really fascinated when one of our Good Housekeeping staffers mentioned to me that she occasionally gets her eyelashes permed! I had never heard of the procedure and could understand her motivation when I heard that eyelash perming makes your eyelashes longer and curlier for months without any makeup. But then I heard the risks and don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s worth the time saved. Here&amp;#039;s what it&amp;#039;s all about. During the procedure, you lie down and close your eyes while your lashes are wrapped around a thin roller. (Gauze is placed under your eye for protection.) Glue is used to keep the lashes stuck to the roller. Next, a perming solution is applied to your lashes on the rods. After 20 minutes, the solution is removed and your lashes receive a coating of collagen to give them shine. If just hearing how it works doesn&amp;#039;t scare you off, here are the risks. Chemicals and toxins, including alcohol, ammonia and sodium bromate, are applied that are not designed to be used near the eyes. During the procedure, your eyes may sting. Afterward, you may find your eyelashes are very weak and prone to falling out or breaking. Take note: This procedure is not approved by the FDA.  Our advice: Don&amp;#039;t do it! Check out our eyelash curler and mascara studies for safe ways to get longer, curlier lashes \u2014 even if it means you have to get up a little earlier! Need help getting out of bed?
