How do you determine the right size silicone pads?

With Inlei®, you have different sizes of silicone pads so that you can give every length of lashes the perfect curl. The pads have a curved section and a flat section. We only work with the curved section. Using the following steps, you can determine which size you need:

• The lashes must cover more than half of the curved section
• The lashes must not cover the entire curved section onto the flat part 
• If XXL is too small, we recommend the Universal Forma pads

The lashes must therefore cover the second half of the curved section. There is no line on the curved section indicating the halfway point, so you have to determine this yourself. Do you find that difficult? Then draw a line with a marker on the pads. This is very important because you place the lotion up to the midline for the correct curl. 

InLei® has two lines of pads

InLei® has two lines of pads: a natural curl line and noticeable curl line silicone pads. The natural curl has a 1 after the sizes. And it is comparable to a C curl in eyelash extension terms. The curl falls slightly differently, which makes it look beautiful on certain eye shapes. The same guidelines apply to both pads for choosing the right size.

Choose the natural curl for:

• Deep-set eyes
• Hooded eyelids
• Men

In addition to the pads, the placement of the lotion is also important

In addition to the silicone pads, the placement of the lotion also determines how the curl will look. This is often forgotten, but the placement of the lotion is just as important as the size of the silicone pads. You place the lotion in a consistent line up to the halfway point of the curved section and 2 mm away from the lash line. So never right up against the lash line. This way you get a nice, neat line of lotion on your pads. If you place the lotion too high, the curl will turn inwards. If you place the lotion too low, the curl will be less pronounced and you will get a more natural effect.

 Handy tips for the perfect lash curl

• If the inner and outer corners taper slightly, let the line taper slightly as well so that the tips of the lashes do not get into the lotion. This is important because you do not want curled tips.
• Do you have short new "baby" hairs that spring back from the pad? Then leave them. These hairs get their tips in the lotion, which causes them to grow with curled tips. They will fall out after the treatment and disappear from the result.
• Do you want to make the curl even more natural with the natural curl line pads? Then place the lotion slightly below the midline. So a slightly thinner line of lotion. This will create an even more natural effect.

The lotion determines the curl with Forma pads

If you understand how to determine the curl with the lotion, you can also master the Inlei® Forma pads. With these pads, you really determine the curl with the lotion alone. If you apply a slightly thicker line of lotion, your curl will be slightly more noticeable, and if you apply a slightly thinner line of lotion, the curl will be slightly more natural.

Myths that do not help you achieve the perfect curl

• The smaller the pad, the better the curl: this is obviously complete nonsense. You can seriously cause a severe overcurl with this, and the curl will certainly not look good.
• You can apply the lotions over the entire lashes: no, no, and no again. If you know how the lotions work, you also know that you should only apply the lotion where you determine the curl. If you apply it everywhere, you will curl all the way to the tips and your customers will go home crying.
• The more lotion, the better: the lotion must be visible and applied consistently, but you do not need to apply more than that. Lashes cannot absorb more than they need.
