Most Common Mistakes in InLei® Lash and Brow Lifts
Working with InLei® products delivers fantastic results when the right techniques are used. However, many stylists make the same mistakes, which can result in less-than-perfect outcomes—or even damage to the lashes or brows. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Using Foil Over the Lotions During Processing
A common misconception is that foil should be placed over the lotions during processing. This can affect the lotion’s performance and create uneven results. InLei® lotions are specifically formulated to work directly on the hairs without any covering. Using foil can even damage the lashes and brows and alter the intended processing times.
Tip: Allow the lotion to fully process without foil for a natural, even result. This also ensures that the processing time is accurate.
2. Using Silicone Shields That Are Too Small
Choosing the correct silicone shield size is crucial. Shields that are too small can compress the lashes or brows, causing them to bend unnaturally or stick together. A shield that’s too small can result in over-curl, which we want to avoid.
Tip: Always select a shield that matches the natural length and curl of the hairs. Measure beforehand to choose the perfect size.
3. Applying Lotion Incorrectly
Applying the lotion might seem simple, but incorrect technique can lead to uneven curls or hair damage. Often too much lotion is used, or it’s applied to the tips of the lashes, which can cause over-curl or damage.
Tip: Use a controlled amount of lotion and apply it carefully along the hair direction. Avoid contact with the skin to prevent irritation.
4. Incorrect Processing Times
Each hair type reacts differently to the lotions, and ignoring the recommended processing times is one of the main reasons for disappointing results. Processing for too short a time leads to insufficient curl, while too long can damage the hair.
Tip: Always follow InLei® guidelines for the specific hair type and adjust the time if necessary, based on experience and hair thickness.
Conclusion
By avoiding these common mistakes, you can get the most out of your InLei® treatments and delight your clients with beautiful, natural results. Precision, the right tools, and following the guidelines are the keys to success.
