Eyelash Extension Products. Which are essential?

Eyelash extensions are becoming more and more popular! Lengthening is a professional treatment suitable for those with short and sparse eyelashes: it allows you to outline, enhance and highlight your gaze in an exceptional way.

A SMALL STEP BACK ⏪

This is a technique that was born many years ago in Japan, a country where most women have very small and barely visible natural eyelashes. The first extensions were packaged in containers with loose synthetic hairs. To extract them, you needed sticks or tweezers (and a lot of patience!).

With the development of new production and packaging technologies, synthetic fiber eyelashes began to be packaged in small boxes. Innovation has never stopped and the packaging, as well as the fiber itself, has improved year after year.

Nowadays you can find very elaborate little boxes with extra-full double-sided strips and “FOIL BACK” paper, which can be attached and detached without leaving residues on the lash-pad (the support used by professionals to work more comfortably, precisely and quickly).

Alongside the production of extensions , which is concentrated in Eastern countries, the industry of production of products for lashmakers has also developed. If you are fascinated by this world, we understand you, we are too!!

Let's see briefly what are the essential products for a lash stylist , those that are essential in the workstation. To carry out professional work, you must always aim for the quality and high performance of the products used. To help you in your choice, we will also give you some suggestions to identify the characteristics that make the difference.

WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS FOR APPLYING EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

1. EXTENSIONS! It may seem trivial, but even in the application done by a certified professional, the choice of extensions influences 80% of the success of the final work. Quality means lightness of the fiber, naturalness of the hair, flexibility, precision of length and curvature, simplicity in creating fans, full color and a wide choice of thickness and curvature.
   
   The Light Lashes Black Collection and the Color Explosion are two examples of lines studied in every detail, with unprecedented finishes! Those who try them never abandon them, they are so high-performance that even beginners can perform high-level applications.
   
   
2. A GOOD MAKE-UP REMOVER without oil inside. It is used to thoroughly cleanse before the treatment, but above all it is important to recommend it to your clients for the correct maintenance of eyelash extensions . Aggressive products and oil-based make-up removers have a profound effect on the hold of synthetic eyelashes. The oil molecules weigh down the hair and dissolve the glue , furthermore if the product is not delicate it risks compromising the entire result of the treatment.
   
   What do we recommend? The InLei® delicate cleansing and make-up removing mousse : a marvel all made in Italy that guarantees correct hydration and completely eliminates impurities. It is a very light but super effective foam, available in three different scents: Aloe , Avena and Rose .
   
   
3. PRIMER or a preparatory treatment for the eyelashes , which guarantees maximum adhesion between the natural and synthetic eyelashes. They are two completely different materials, so to create this cohesion a specific preparation is needed.
   
   Which products do we recommend? There are different types of products for this step: you can use an alcohol-based degreasing primer for eyelash extensions such as Light Lashes Fico Primer , Light Lashes Melograno Primer or Light Lashes Pesca Primer , or a more delicate saline-based primer such as Light Lashes Fantasy Primer or InLei® Saline Pretreatment . The choice should be based on the type of lashes you are working with.
   
   
4. GLUE FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS to be chosen carefully among the many available on the market. A good glue must last a long time, remain elastic, release little fumes, adhere well and dry quickly, leaving you a few seconds more or less depending on your experience. Relying on a brand that offers various glues with different levels of compactness and drying speed is the first step to finding the product that is best for you. If you are not comfortable with the glue, your work will suffer greatly.
   
   Visit our e-commerce www.lashinbrow.com in the section “ eyelash extension glue ”: you will find a wide range of products, each with a very detailed description of its properties. You will surely understand which one is right for you.
   
   
5. FIXING to be used immediately after application. It is a very important step to completely seal the glue and extend the hold of the eyelash extensions, in fact it protects from humidity thus ensuring a long-lasting treatment.
   
   If you are looking for a great helper, we recommend trying our transparent fixative Light Lashes Diamond Coating , which protects and adds shine to synthetic lashes.
   
   
6. REMOVER to remove extensions without difficulty. We recommend never underestimating the power of this product: those who choose poor quality risk having to pull the client's lashes excessively during removal , risking tearing them. A remover that works must be able to completely dissolve the glue, without requiring further mechanical movements to remove the extensions.
   
   Where can I find a good glue remover? On lashinbrow.com in the “eyelash extensions” section select “ Glue remover ”. You will find different options ranging from liquid remover, to cream to gel. You can choose the consistency you prefer, but one thing is for sure: they are all ultra effective and allow you to remove synthetic eyelashes without any effort.
   
   
7. DISINFECTANT AND SANITIZING because the customer's health comes first . Cleaning work surfaces and all tools used is absolutely essential to eliminate germs and bacteria. Even better if it is a product specifically designed to sanitize our lashmaker tools.
   
   
   Want some advice? The unbeatable F360 and FPLUS disinfectants from the InLei® brand , 100% Made in Italy. F360 is a disinfectant spray compatible with all surfaces, perfect for a quick but effective cleaning of your workstation between one client and the next. FPLUS is a cleaning and sanitizing solution for work tools, specifically created for the world of lash stylists.
   
   
8. PRODUCT FOR THE CARE AND PROTECTION OF EYELASHES , very difficult to find before the launch of InLei® Fashion Lash & Brow . This is a product that is literally going around the world! It deeply nourishes, allowing you to shape and fix the lashes (and eyebrows!) in the desired position. It creates a protective barrier against external factors and makes the natural lashes shiny, thanks to the ingredient LUMINESCINE (extracted from the flower of Mullein) which traps and reflects the sun's rays.
