The chemical process of breaking the disulfide bonds within the lash is damaging to the lash if not performed correctly. Over processing the time on the lashes means the bonds are either not able to be reformed well enough or they break so far that they over-process. Applying the lotion to the ends of the lashes (which is not the area we want the re-direction of the lash to occur) can also cause damage to the lashes. The inclusion of lanolin in the lifting lotion offers moisture and nourishment to the lash while the bonds are being broken in order to soften the hair and provide support.

Check product expiry date and location of where the product has been stored. It’s also important to check the ethnicity of your client’s background, perhaps the strength or generic structure of their hair means they require a longer processing time. Another point to consider is the consistent placement of the lotion. The coating should be a milky thick consistency that coats each and every lash evenly and up to 3/4 of the way up the lash, as patchy solution can result in an uneven lift.

Relax the lashes using the relaxation method to reduce the curl and encourage the lashes back into a less lifted/curled state.
Offer an in-salon lash hydration service of application of Elleeplex Re-GEN as a stand-alone service. The client’s lashes will be noticeably conditioned and nourished.
Offering Elleeplex aftercare as a conditioning and nourishing lotion for your client’s lashes that they can apply daily to help not only with nourishment but also with styling will help to support the lashes and offer much needed nourishment to repair and regrow into healthy lashes again.
A supplement could also be worth considering for internal consumption of a comprehensive formula that provides essential nutrients for strong hair/lashes. Choosing a supplement with Silica, Horsetail, Biotin and Ascorbic acid (to aid absorption) will strengthen any brittle lash damage and assist with the regeneration of the lashes in the lash cycle.

A client can have a lash lift as soon as she would like to, we generally say a lift should last up to 6 weeks or more on most clients – however, the lash growth cycle must be taken into account. If you notice your client has a lot of baby lash growth coming through you may wish to point this out to them and recommend that they re-book their next lift for sooner than 6 weeks – perhaps 4 weeks might suit. Other clients might experience an extremely slow lash regeneration process and only need a lift every 8 – 10 weeks, however, if you are performing a tint they will need to come back for a top up tint at 6 weeks.
