Pretreatments

Lash degreasing is the process of removing sebum, oil deposits and cosmetic residue from the surface of the natural lash before bonding the extension. It's important to note that degreasing is not optional — it is a prerequisite for adhesion.

Lash Degreasers — One Product, Ten Scents, One Function

All degreasers in this category are functionally identical: they clean the lash of oils without alcohol, dry quickly and leave no residue. It's important to note that the difference between Strawberry Mist and Green Tea is entirely sensory — the fragrances are for client comfort during the procedure, not an indicator of any different cleaning effect.

Why Alcohol-Free

Alcohol-based cleansers dry out lash keratin with repeated use. It's important to note that for regular clients with monthly infills, the effect of alcohol-containing degreasers accumulates — the lash becomes brittle and more prone to breaking. The alcohol-free formulas in this category clean effectively without disrupting the hair fibre structure.

Correct Application Technique

Degreasing requires a careful technique. The correct approach: apply a small amount to a micro brush or lint-free swab, pass from base to tip without excessive friction, and wait until fully dry — visible as a matte finish on the lash surface. It's important to note that applying too much product is more damaging than too little — a wet lash bonds poorly.

The Most Common Error: Contact After Degreasing

Degreasing is undone the moment the lash comes into contact with undegreased skin on the eyelid or the lash artist's fingers. It's important to note that after degreasing, isolation must be performed with a tweezer only — no manual contact with the lash.

Shelf Life and Storage

24 months before opening, 4–5 months after. It's important to note that once a bottle is open, it should be checked periodically to ensure the product has not lost effectiveness — an old or contaminated degreaser fails to clean correctly and may introduce bacteria to the working area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is degreasing mandatory at every session, including infills?

Yes — even in an infill session where only new growth lashes are worked on, those new lashes have grown in a sebum environment and must be degreased. It's important to note that skipping degreasing during infills is a common error that leads to shorter retention.

Can lash degreaser be used for PMU pretreatment as well?

Not optimally — PMU pretreatment is specialised for scalp and facial skin and has different requirements from the lash surface.

Do the scented variants have any additional cosmetic effect?

No. It's important to note that the fragrance is purely a sensory addition — the cleaning action is identical across all variants.
