- Antibacterial Properties: Helps protect against microbial contamination (e.g., bacitracin or panthenol).

What to Avoid

Expert Aftercare Tips

Does a lash lift damages your lashes?

Therefore, apart from the fact that you need a good lash lift product choosing a professional lash stylist and salon is also crucial.
Powder Pigment
What is the difference between hybrid tattoo powder pigment and liquid pigment?
Liquid pigment is a pigment based on water, with small molecules, strong fluidity and permeability. The ink can quickly penetrate into the deep layer of the skin, color quickly, and retain color for a long time. It is the best tattoo ink for permanent makeup professional artists to use with machines. hybrid powdered pigment is a pigment based on a combination of water and oil. The color is brighter, the molecules are relatively large, and the fluidity is moderate. It can be used with both machines and hand pens, and is a good choice of high quality permanent makeup pigment for novices and professional tattoo artists.
Lash Glue
With this very sticky glue, will the lashes fall off when I use the perm lotion?
Our glue is very sticky and after drying it holds the lashes very firmly to the lash silicone perm rod. Although our glue is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned with water, since there is not much water in the perm lotion, there is not enough water in it to dissolve the glue, so there is no chance that the lashes will not stick to the silicone perm rod and fall off after using the perm lotion. The same goes for Neutralizers too.
Lash lift kit
Does the perming lotion contain the ingredient “Cysteamine” ?
Yes, some formulas contain the ingredient “Cysteamine”, then some contain the ingredient “Thioglycolic acid”. The active ingredient of the perming lotion is a reducing agent, which acts to break the disulfide bonds in the eyelash. Commonly used reducing agents are Thioglycolic acid and Cysteamine. Compare to Cysteamine, Thioglycolic acid has a strong reducing power.
How long does the lifting effect last?
On average, the lash lifting effect lasts for 2-3 months, depending on the clients eyelashes individual differences and the time you takes for lash lift procedure of soften (perm lotion) and set (neutralizer).
