This is a common challenge with clients who have heavy or resistant lashes. Here’s how to manage it:
- Use a thicker mix of viscosity controller in your Step 1. This helps the lotion grip the lashes and hold them in place. Keep in mind this may affect processing times.
- Cling film can be applied over the lashes to press them into the shield and add gentle warmth, which improves processing and helps lashes stay put.
- Lift lockers or compensators can also be placed over the lashes for added security.
- Be patient with placement—these lashes often need more passes (sometimes 30–40) to sweep them up and get them to stay flat against the shield.
- Check shield size—choosing a slightly larger flat shield can make the wrapping process easier for lashes that are very resistant.
- Apply thickened step 1 to the lashes in their natural direction and let them processing for 2-5 minutes before attempting to wrap them and lay them flat on the flat shields.
