When we perform lash lifts and brow laminations, we’re not just styling hair, we’re chemically restructuring it. While these services deliver beautiful results, they also place stress on the hair’s internal structure. That’s why what we put on the hair after and during these services is just as important as the result itself.
One ingredient every lash and brow artist should understand is KeraVeg 18.
What Is KeraVeg 18?
KeraVeg 18 is a plant-based keratin alternative designed to mimic the role of natural keratin within the hair fibre. Clinical and scientific trials have demonstrated up to a 21% increase in hair strength following chemical treatments, proving that this powerhouse ingredient can meet the performance standards of traditional animal-derived keratin—while offering a fully vegan-friendly alternative. A true breakthrough in science for lashes and brows.
Keratin is the protein that gives hair its strength, elasticity, and structure. During chemical services like lash lifting and brow lamination, some of this natural keratin structure is disrupted in order to reshape the hair. KeraVeg 18 works by delivering plant-derived amino acids that help support, reinforce, and condition the hair fibre.
In simple terms:
👉 It helps put back what chemical services take out.
Why KeraVeg 18 Is So Important After Chemical Treatments
Lash lifts and brow laminations open the hair structure to allow reshaping. This makes hair more vulnerable to:
- Dryness
- Weakness and breakage
- Loss of elasticity
- Dull, rough texture
KeraVeg 18 plays an integral role in post-chemical hair care by:
- Supporting hair strength after processing
- Improving elasticity and flexibility
- Helping reduce brittleness and dryness
- Leaving lashes and brows feeling softer, healthier, and more resilient
This is exactly what modern clients are looking for, results that don’t compromise hair health.
Elleebana ReGen Step 3: Where Repair Meets Performance
Elleebana’s ReGen Step 3 is specifically designed to be used after lash lift and brow lamination services, when the hair needs nourishment the most.
With KeraVeg 18 at its core, ReGen Step 3 focuses on:
- Reconditioning chemically treated hair
- Supporting the internal structure of lashes and brows
- Enhancing softness, shine, and manageability
- Helping maintain long-term hair health between services
This makes it a critical step, not an optional one. It’s where the service shifts from simply reshaping hair to actively restoring and protecting it.
Elleeplex ReGen takes lash and brow care a step further as the world’s most advanced bond builder, supporting biometric remodelling of both lashes and brows. Formulated with Granrepair Powerbond, it represents the future of hair care treatments by helping to restore crosslinks and disulphide bridges that may not have been fully reformed during the neutralisation process. This is crucial for optimising the strength, integrity, and resilience of lashes and brows following chemical services such as colouring, lifting, or bleaching.
KeraVeg 18 in Helyx Hybrid Dye
KeraVeg 18 is also a key ingredient in Elleebana’s Helyx Hybrid Dye, reinforcing the brand’s approach to colour with care.
Hybrid dye services are often paired with lamination treatments, which means the hair has already been chemically processed. Including a plant-based keratin alternative within the dye helps to:
- Support hair integrity during colouring
- Maintain softness and flexibility
- Reduce the harsh feel that can follow chemical services
- Create healthier-looking results, not just darker ones
This allows artists to confidently layer services while still prioritising hair condition.
Why This Matters for Lash & Brow Artists
Understanding ingredients like KeraVeg 18 helps you:
- Deliver health-focused services, not just cosmetic results
- Educate clients on why your work supports long-term lash and brow health
- Build trust and position your treatments as premium, professional, and responsible
- Reduce the risk of over-processed, brittle, or compromised hair
In an industry that’s moving rapidly toward results + repair, KeraVeg 18 represents exactly what modern lash and brow treatments should stand for.
The Takeaway
KeraVeg 18 isn’t just a marketing term. It’s a plant-based keratin alternative that plays a vital role in caring for lashes and brows that have undergone chemical change.
With its inclusion in both Elleebana ReGen Bond Builder and Helyx Hybrid Dye, it reinforces a clear message:
✨ Beautiful results should never come at the expense of hair health.
Choose ingredients and technology that protect the integrity of the hair — because when lashes and brows thrive, your results, reputation, and clients do too.
