QUESTIONS ABOUT LASH GLUE

HOW LONG CAN LASH GLUE BE USED?

If stored properly in the right conditions (temperature, humidity), our glues can be used for 2–3 months after being opened. We recommend that you always make a note of the date you have opened the glue on its packaging.

WHAT KIND OF LASH GLUE IS RECOMMENDED FOR SENSITIVE EYES?

Every false eyelash glue contains the same irritative substance, cyanoacrylate, so if the customer has an allergic reaction, it is probably caused by this component. For milder cases, when it is only a sensitivity, we recommend our newest glue, which has a low cyanoacrylate content.

HOW SHOULD THE LASH GLUE BE STORED?

The glue should always be kept in a dry place away from direct light and heat, for example in a cupboard or a glue container specifically designed for this purpose. Some stylists put a few grains of rice at the bottom of the container to further reduce humidity.

WHICH LASH GLUE IS THE FASTEST?

Our fastest acting glue is Premium Rush Pro, which cures in 0.5 second, with minimal fumes. Ideal humidity: 40–60%, ideal temperature: 18–22 °C.

WHICH LASH GLUE IS THE BEST FOR BEGINNERS?

Our basic kits contain our Premium My Icon glue, which cures in 1 second and works excellently even if you cannot always ensure a constant temperature and humidity. Ideal humidity: 38–70%, ideal temperature: 18–22 °C. With its wide range of applications, Premium My Icon is also recommended for advanced stylists of course.

WHICH LASH GLUE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

It mostly depends on how much experience you have as an eyelash stylist and on the conditions in your salon. We are happy to help if you are unsure about which glue to choose, just send us an email to info@bestlashespro.hu.

I WANT A LOW-FUME GLUE. WHICH ONE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Luckily, the ingredients of today’s quality glues are not as irritative as they used to be 8–10 years ago. There can be a slight difference in the amount of fumes between faster and slower glues, but that can only be noticed by customers with very sensitive eyes, and it is very rare.

ARE THERE ANY SENSITIVE/HYPOALLERGENIC GLUES AVAILABLE?

There are none, as the key component is cyanoacrylate, which is the adhesive substance itself, and so it is present in every lash glue. The only difference is in the amount of cyanoacrylate.

THE LASH FANS ARE CLOSING. IS MY GLUE TOO SLOW?

Check whether the conditions are ideal for your glue, or try a faster glue. Alternatively, you can try The Glue Lock, which can prevent the glue from running up the lashes and stop the lash fans from closing.

WHY DOES THE LASH GLUE NOT CURE?

It is probably the environmental conditions that have a negative effect on the polymerisation. To make the glue cure faster, try raising the humidity in the room. You can also try Speed Up, which can speed up the curing for your favourite glue if the humidity or the temperature made it slower.

MY LASH GLUE IS TRANSPARENT. IS THAT NORMAL?

Lash glue always has to be well shaken before use, because its components separate during storage. If you don’t shake the glue, it could happen that the lashes do not stick, or that the created set falls off ahead of time. Shake the glue for at least 1 minute before every drop, or to be on the safe side, use a glue shaker.

MY GLUE IS THICK AND GUMMY, WHY?

Check that your glue has not expired and that you stored it properly in a dark, dry place away from light and heat. Make sure that you do not contaminate the glue with the substance remaining on the glue nozzle, because it can spoil the glue. Always clean the glue nozzle dry with a lint-free wipe before closing it. Careless sealing can also make the glue thick and gummy, just as the wrong temperature and humidity do.

HOW CAN I KEEP MY LASH GLUE CLEAN?

After every use, tear off a piece of lint-free glue nozzle wipe, gently squeeze out the remaining glue from the nozzle, then clean it well with the wipe and carefully close the lid.

MY CUSTOMER HAS AN ALLERGIC REACTION. CAN I CREATE THEIR SET ANOTHER TIME?

Unfortunately, you cannot. If there is an allergic reaction, it means that it will happen in the future too.

QUESTIONS ABOUT FALSE LASHES

WHAT ARE FALSE LASHES MADE OF?

All of our false lashes are made of synthetic, skin-friendly materials, with strict quality assurance. All Best Lashes Pro lashes are cruelty-free, i.e. they are not tested on animals.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINK AND SILK LASHES?

All of our false lashes are made of synthetic materials and are cruelty-free. The biggest difference between mink and silk lashes is that silk lashes are glossier, while mink lashes have a more natural look. The glue strips of mink lashes are slightly less sticky, which is preferred by some people when creating volume fans depending on their chosen fanning technique. Mink and silk lashes are equally good for creating classic and volume sets. In our experience, mink lashes are more popular.

WHAT KIND OF FALSE LASHES SHOULD I BUY?

That primarily depends on the effect you wish to create and the technique you use, but the most sought-after thickness for classic sets is usually 0.10, 0.12 or 0.15, while lashes with a 0.10 and 0.085 diameter are mostly used for 2D sets.

For volume sets, our lashes with a 0.05, 0.06 and 0.07 thickness are the most popular choice, and we have 0.03 and 0.04 lashes for building mega volume sets.

Almost all of our lashes are available in mixed and single lengths, so you can try some of everything or you can buy bigger quantities of the sizes you use most frequently in your salon.

We have every curl available, with an almost endless combination of lengths and thicknesses, and our favourite curls are C, CC and D curls.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM LENGTH FOR CREATING FANS?

Lash fans created using false lashes that are too thick can damage the natural lashes of the customer, so you have to be careful when choosing the right ones. We advise not using lashes thicker than 0.07 diameter for volume sets, either for 3D or 4D. A 0.07 thickness can be ideal for 2D–3D sets, while you should use 0.05 for 5D–6D sets if possible.

WHAT ARE THE BEST LASHES AND TWEEZERS FOR VOLUME SETS?

For building volume sets, our customers are mostly using our Volume Premium Mink or Matte Glossy Edition lashes. Matte Glossy Edition is the perfect merging of mink and silk lashes, its special surface treatment creating a beautiful, natural, deep black set. Thanks to its midnight black colour, Volume Premium Mink can be used to create a fabulous and full strip of lashes.

We also have Easy Fan/Express Volume lashes in our range, which ensure very quick fanning, but make sure to check their description before buying to see if it is really the best choice for you.

Among the applicators available, we have our self-developed premium volume tweezers and Vetus tweezers too.

BEST LASHES PRO EYELASH LIFTING

WHAT IS EYELASH LIFTING?

One of the most popular ways to emphasise natural lashes is eyelash lifting. This method lifts the lashes from their roots and sets them in an upward curl, making them appear fuller and longer.

HOW LONG DO LASH LIFTS LAST?

Lash lifts make eyelashes look spectacular and healthy for 6–8 weeks, and they can be further emphasised with any mascara. Lifting effect is not affected by oily make-up removers or creams.

FOR WHOM IS LASH LIFTING RECOMMENDED?

Anyone can benefit from lash lifts, if they want to achieve better emphasised lashes without using false eyelashes. The effect can be especially impressive with straight lashes, which might appear almost non-existent in their natural state, but get nicely emphasised with the curl that lifting gives them. This treatment is also a perfect choice when the eyelashes are not apparent due to drooping eyelids.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DO EYELASH LIFTING?

The treatment takes about 30 minutes.

WHAT IS THERE TO LOOK OUT FOR AFTER LASH LIFTS?

A few basic rules have to be followed in the first 24 hours to make the treatment’s effect last longer: avoid water or steam around the lashes, so don’t go to the sauna, do not use mascara, and do not use any cream around the eyes.

For at-home care, we can recommend Best Lashes Pro Vitamin Shot to the customers, which constantly nourishes and makes the lashes shine.

DOES LASH LIFTING DAMAGE EYELASHES?

It does not damage eyelashes, if the treatment is done with quality materials, following the correct effect times exactly. However, just as with any substances that come into contact with the skin, it is possible to have an allergic reaction or irritation when doing lash lifts. If any irritation develops, use a cold compress on the area and contact the client’s physician.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE LASHES GET WET AFTER TREATMENT?

The freshly treated eyelashes should not come into contact with water for 24–48 hours after the treatment, because that can reduce the effectiveness of the materials used. But after that time has passed, we can safely go swimming or to the sauna, because the result will be water resistant.

WHERE CAN I LEARN EYELASH LIFTING?

Our instructors regularly hold trainings across the country, where you can learn this technique. If you cannot attend the training personally, we recommend our online trainings, which allow you to learn every step of the process comfortably, at your own pace.

HOW CAN I PREPARE THE HENNA BROW TINT PASTE?

Add the activator liquid to the right amount of henna powder, then stir it in a plastic bowl until you get a homogeneous consistency. The recommended amounts are listed in the instructions of the henna tints, but in our experience, 1 or 2 drops difference will not cause any problems, in case you want a slightly thinner or thicker consistency.

BEST BROWS PRO BROW LAMINATION

WHAT IS EYEBROW LAMINATION?

Eyebrow lamination is a similar process to eyelash lifting, which straightens unruly hairs and sets them in the desired direction with a fixing gel.

HOW LONG DOES EYEBROW LAMINATION LAST?

After the first 48 hours, it doesn’t require any special care, it is enough to brush through the hairs at the end of your morning and evening face cleaning routine. With the right treatment and after-care, the result will last 6–8 weeks.

FOR WHOM DO WE RECOMMEND EYEBROW LAMINATION?

Eyebrow lamination is an ideal way to solve a number of aesthetic problems. For scarce brows, we can carefully cover up the bald patches, we can straighten strong, curly hairs and we can set unruly hairs in the right direction. The result is a brow that looks tidy and sophisticated even without any make-up.

HOW LONG DOES EYEBROW LAMINATION TAKE?

Eyebrow lamination takes about 30 minutes.

WHAT IS THERE TO LOOK OUT FOR AFTER EYEBROW LAMINATION?

Do not use strong make-up removers, exfoliants and oil-based products in the area of or around the eyebrow in the first 48 hours. Do not rub or press the area concerned. In the first 24 hours, avoid shampoo or hair conditioner to come into contact with the brows, exposure to strong heat and steam, swimming and using a sauna.

WHAT HAPPENS IF LAMINATED BROWS GET WET?

The freshly laminated eyebrows should not come into contact with water for 24–48 hours after the treatment, because that can reduce the effectiveness of the materials used. But after that time has passed, we can safely go swimming or to the sauna, because the result will be water resistant.

DOES EYEBROW LAMINATION DAMAGE THE BROWS?

It does not damage the eyebrows, if the treatment is done with quality materials, following the correct effect times exactly. However, just as with any substances that come into contact with the skin, it is possible to have an allergic reaction or irritation when doing eyebrow lamination. If any irritation develops, use a cold compress on the area and contact the client’s physician.

HOW CAN I MAKE LAMINATED EYEBROWS EVEN MORE PERFECT?

The result of Best Brows Pro lamination can be complemented by Best Brows Pro henna bros tinting, making the brows of your customer look perfect for weeks.
