Some lashes—especially coarse or crisscrossed ones—are resistant to lying flat. In these cases:
- Check shield size—a larger flat shield or even switching to a traditionalshield may provide a better surface for the lash to grip that is less curvature.
- Reassess your product—make sure your Step 1 is thickened with a viscosity controller so it doesn’t slip.
- Work section by section, sweeping and pressing the lashes repeatedly with your tool until they begin to adhere.
- Cling film or can be applied to add gentle pressure and keep lashes in place during processing.
- Consider switching methods—if the lashes are highly resistant, you may achieve better results with the Freestyle technique, where the lashes are softened downward first before wrapping.
