Don’t Get Tricked by DIY Lash Kits: Why You Shouldn’t Try This at Home & How to Fix Over-Processed Lashes - 16 Nov 2024

Don’t let your lashes become a Halloween horror story! In this blog, we’ll explore three spine-chilling reasons to stay away from DIY lash lifting kits and explain how Elleebana’s industry leading products can help you fix these frightening lash mishaps.

🎃 3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID DIY LASH LIFTING KITS 👻

  1. Safety First 🧪

Lash lifting requires precision and the use of chemicals. Without professional guidance, you risk irritation, burns, and even the dreaded over-processing that can lead to lash damage. Don’t let your lashes become a safety nightmare!

  1. Unpredictable Results 🧟

DIY kits often promise beautiful results but can leave you looking like a fright. Professionals know the exact timing and technique required to avoid leaving you with lashes that are over-curled, uneven, or worse than before. Don’t let your lashes be haunted by poor results!

  1. Lack of Customisation 🎭

Every set of lashes is unique. A one-size-fits-all approach from a DIY kit doesn’t account for lash length, thickness, or texture, leaving you with unflattering results that can make your lashes look downright scary. Professionals tailor the lift to suit each client’s natural lash profile for a flawless finish every time.

🔮HOW TO RESCUE OVER-PROCESSED LASHES

If a client comes to you with a lash horror story from a DIY kit, don’t be spooked! Here’s a step-by-step guide to relaxing over-curled lashes and bringing them back from the brink of fright:

  • Prepare the lashes as you would before a lash lift to ensure they’re in suitable condition.
  • Apply Step 1 lotion using a micro brush, brushing downwards on the tips of the lashes only. Avoid skin contact.
  • Observe as the lashes begin to relax and straighten. Keep track of your processing time — for example, Educator Amie used 3 minutes on her client.
  • Remove Step 1 lotion carefully and repeat the process with Step 2 setting lotion. Amie’s client required only 2 minutes.
  • Cleanse thoroughly with a damp cotton pad and eye bath to ensure all lotions are removed.
  • Finish with nourishing aftercare! Apply ReGEN Next Gen, the world’s most innovative step 3 treatment to the lashes and let the lashes soak in all of those nourishing ingredients for 3-5 minutes. To go one step further, offer your clients the opportunity to purchase some aftercare to ensure the lashes remain in the best possible condition. To maintain stunning results and enhance cell generation and hydration, Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare is your go-to choice. And for our vegan beauty enthusiasts, the Hyaluronic Boost Serum is your hydration hero, promoting healthy hair growth, strength and volume. Encourage them to apply it morning and night to ensure their lashes bounce back from the damage from the DIY kit.

Don’t let a DIY kit turn your client’s lash dreams into a nightmare. With professional-grade products and expert care, you can rescue their lashes from any scare!
