Working with InLei® products delivers fantastic results when you use the correct techniques. However, many stylists make the same mistakes, which can result in a less attractive finish or even damage the lashes or brows. Below, we discuss the most common mistakes and how you can avoid them.

1. Using Foil Over the Lotions During Processing

A common misconception is that you should apply foil over the lotions while they process. However, this can affect the lotion's performance and lead to uneven results. InLei® lotions are specially developed to work directly on the hairs without additional covering. Covering can cause damage to the lashes and brows, and the processing times will no longer be accurate. Tip: Allow the lotion to process completely without foil for a natural and even result. This also ensures that the processing time is always accurate.

2. Using Silicone Shields That Are Too Small

Choosing the right size silicone shield is crucial. Shields that are too small can compress the lashes or brows, causing them to curl unnaturally or stick together. A shield that is too small therefore causes over-curling, which is not what we want. Tip: Always choose a shield that suits the natural length and curl of the hairs. Measure beforehand to select the perfect size.

3. Applying the Lotion Incorrectly

Applying the lotion may seem simple, but incorrect technique can lead to uneven curling or damage to the hairs. Often, too much lotion is used, or it is applied to the tips of the lashes, which is not intended and can cause over-curling or damage. Tip: Use a controlled amount of lotion and apply it carefully along the direction of the hairs. Avoid contact with the skin to prevent irritation.

4. Incorrect Processing Times

Every hair type reacts differently to the lotions, but ignoring the recommended processing times is one of the main causes of disappointing results. Processing for too short a time results in insufficient curl, while processing for too long can damage the hairs. Tip: Always follow InLei® guidelines for the specific hair type and adjust the time as necessary based on experience and hair thickness.

Conclusion

By avoiding these common mistakes, you can get the most out of your InLei® treatments and keep clients happy with a beautiful, natural result. Remember: precision, the right tools, and following the guidelines are the keys to success.
