As talked with customers, I found that many Lashes Suppliers do not use primers at all, or use them in the wrong steps or sequence.
There have also been eyelash artists with me put forward this view: for customers who do not need to remove and directly grafted eyelashes, they do not use pretreatment solution, only use normal saline wipe, and it will not affect the firmness. Therefore, the customer does not need to use the pretreatment solution in the future operation. Of course, this view and practice is also wrong.
In the process of first removing and then grafting, eyelash artists encounter such a problem: after removing the customer’s eyelashes as a whole and grafting them again, they will find that the speed of glue curing will be slow.
What is the reason?
Because discharge cream will have residual moisture to go up in eyelash .However, this moisture is not that water, the water is covered by three kinds of esters: but lactone, propyl carbonate and ethanol, which will slow down the polymerization reaction of the glue, resulting in a slower curing speed.
So, how do you get rid of these residues thoroughly?
Yes it’s to use pretreatment solution. Pretreatment solution is chosen because of its ingredients containing water, alcohol, and some healing and soothing extracts. This relatively mild pretreatment solution has the function of denaturing the protein on the eyelashes, removing residual esters, and ensuring the same curing speed of the glue.
However, some pretreatment solution will add isopropyl alcohol, not safe, but there will also be lash artist think it’s okay as long as it shows well. But pretreatment solution containing isopropyl alcohol is not recommended, safety is always the most important. Our glue primer uses the best materials and always put safety in priority.
Also some lash artists don’t know the correct steps to clean eyelashes after the removal of previous lash extensions, so we list the procedures below:
Step 1: Dry rub with inclined cotton swab
Step 2: Wet rubbing with delicate water (sterilized saline) + inclined cotton swab
Step 3: Wipe 2 times with pre-treatment solution + inclined cotton swab
Step 4: Use 2 inclined cotton swabs to dry rub again
Step 5: Begin grafting
“With the pre-treatment solution, the purpose of the solution appears to be to clean the lashes, but in fact it is to completely remove the residue that has been removed as a whole, to ensure that the normal curing rate of the glue is maintained when the lashes are grafted behind.
