Was your lash lift unsuccessful?
It is unlikely that inefficient solutions are solely responsible for an unsuccessful lift; technician error is likely a contributing factor. Please review the following recommendations. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you continue to experience difficulties after attempting all of the troubleshooting steps.
How did you prepare the lashes?
The preparation of lashes is important when preparing lashes for a chemical treatment. The correct pH level is required for the proper operation of solutions intended for use on lashes. Given its high pH level, an alcohol-based primer is not advised for lash preparation since it can dehydrate the lashes excessively prior to application. Please make sure you are not using a lash primer you would use for lash extensions.
Following that, the second process entails the use of distilled water to rinse off the foam wash, ensuring the full removal of all residue. You should fully dry your lashes with a fan before applying under-eye pads.
What did you use for glue?
The InLei® professional product line is meant to work together. This also applies to the adhesive. Both the Fixing Gel and the Lamica Gel are water-soluble and designed to aid in the penetration of Form 1 and Fix 2 into the natural lash, provided that excessive amounts are not utilized and that Form 1 is used within the time frames stated.
The problem may be a considerable issue for people who use an alternate type of glue. If substitute brands have a denser texture that prevents seepage through the adhesive, the InLei® products may not penetrate the lash within the specified time. Form 1 would be unable to break down the disulphide bonds. Therefore, no lifting would take place.
How much Glue | Gel did you use?
When sticking the lashes to the shield, using too much fixing or Lamica gel can result in a significant buildup of adhesive on top of the lashes. As a result, the solutions may have difficulty breaking through the adhesive and reaching the internal structure of the lashes. Depending on how much glue is on the lashes, you would need to increase your timing by 2 or 3 minutes.
When you removed all of the gel from the lashes, there would be nothing holding them in place, resulting in the lift 'dropping' or not working because the solution could not break down the hair's disulphide bonds.
To remove excess glue, simply wet the end of a cotton bud and rub it along the area that is affected. Always dry the same area with the dry side of the cotton bud so the hairs remain locked in the glue and do not loosen further.
What TYPE of shield did you use?
When deciding on a silicone shield size, take into account both the length of the client's natural lashes and their eye shape. Various ranges of silicone shields, such as InLei Only and Only 1, can be utilized to achieve the desired final effect.
What shield SIZE did you choose?
Back in the old-school days, we used to always go for the size small shield since we were informed that we would receive the maximum lift with this than any other size, even if their lashes were incredibly long. Toss that strategy out the window. Completely incorrect. You MUST choose the appropriate size for the client's natural lashes.
Did the Lift DROP or Not Lifted at all?
Where did you PLACE your solutions?
To achieve the best possible lash lift results, the product must be strategically placed. Inadequate or uneven application of the product may result in outcomes that are undesirable.
How were your lashes ALIGNED?
The positioning of the lashes on the silicone shields is a crucial step in the Lash Filler lash treatment. It is vital to remember that the way the lashes are lifted and glued to the shield during this step of the treatment will ultimately define how they look. It is best to take your time and carefully lift each lash at a 90-degree angle, avoiding any crisscrossed lashes. The use of both the Fillering Tool and a Helper Tool will assist in isolating and straightening each individual lash with greater precision.
If you are having trouble with alignment, it is best to start with a smaller section of lashes. This method gives you enough time to raise the lashes before the Fixing Gel or Lamica Gel dries. The drying power of both gels is the same; however, the Lamica gel dries a little bit slower than the Fixing gel. The type of gel you use will be determined by how quickly you work. If you prefer a little more time to correct each lash and the tips of the lashes, then use the Lamica Gel.
If you are unhappy with the results of your lash lift section or if you have crisscrossed lashes, you can fix it by using a microbrush or a cotton bud dipped in water to dissolve the Fixing or Lamica Gel from the problematic area. Gently comb the eyelashes to remove any excess adhesive, make sure they are DRY, then restart the process.
TIMING for Form 1 * CRITICAL
To perform an in-depth evaluation of a client's lashes, analyze the porosity and structure of the hair, as well as the thickness of the natural lashes. If the product is not left on for an extended period of time, the technique may be proven ineffective. It is essential that you read our additional blog post on Hair Structure and Porosity to fully comprehend the significance of this topic.
You will not receive a lift if you do not leave it on long enough. Because InLei® is a mild product that does not damage the natural lash, choose the higher setting if you are hesitant. For instance, if a client's lashes are medium-rigid to fairly thick and shiny, aim for the 13-minute point.
Applying Fix 2 times are always: Half the amount of Form 1 plus 1 minute. eg 10 minutes for form 1= 6 min for fix 2
Have they had an InLei® Lash Filler Treatment before?
It is vital to take into account the likelihood of clients returning for lash services. The InLei® Lash Filler Treatment has been proven to improve the strength and shine of lashes with each treatment by improving cuticle tightness. As a result, the time necessary for the perming solution to penetrate the cuticle has increased in comparison to its previous structure. Before giving any kind of treatment, it is highly recommended that each client's lashes be thoroughly examined. It is also a good idea to keep a detailed client card to record the specific times and shields used for past appointments. You will notice that clients' lashes are improving in growth and density and that the shield sizes will increase with treatments, and times will need to be increased.
What are they using for aftercare?
Always suggest the use of Fashion Lash as their take-home conditioning treatment. It is imperative to inform clients about the significance of aftercare for lash and brow treatments. Consistent nourishment and maintenance can yield numerous benefits for the longevity and overall health of the treated area.
