eyelash growth

It's supposed to keep your eyelashes curled for 3 months max. I just got mine done today & was wondering if anyone has done this before? I used to curl my eyelashes with an eyelash curler, but it damaged my eyelashes. It made them thinner, and pulled some out. They used to be longer and fuller before I curled them with an eyelash curler, so I decided perming my eyelashes would be less damaging and less time consuming on getting ready.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had long, full lashes and permed them? now that I've permed mine, they are super curly and they look natural, BUT they look shorter! when I curled them with an eyelash curler before the perming process, they'd look longer & whatnot. now that they're permed, they look shorter, but much more curled. Like, is it just me or should I be disappointed with the results? I thought they'd look super long, but curled. They almost look like they're going in a circle. It's hard to explain.

Anyways, what I want to know is if anyone else had that experience?

Has anyone permed their eyelashes, I have. Advice…?
