Cysteamine Brow & Lash Lamination Kit - 1,2 & 3 Steps - 3 x 15ml Tubes

BROW LAMINATION GUIDED TIMINGS

FINE HAIR TYPES 7-9 minutes
If you feel/brush through your client’s brows, and they are easy to move and very light, soft and slim in nature, your client has a ‘fine’ type of brow hair. Therefore, when you carry out lamination, the product won't long to achieve the desired results and the product will easily and quickly be able to access the cortex in order to modify the hair’s structure.

NORMAL 8-9 minutes
If you brush through your client’s brows and they feel fairly strong and slightly rigid with their movement, and they are slightly thicker in texture, you are working with a normal hair type. These clients are the perfect candidates for lamination.

COARSE 9-11 minutes
If, when brushing through your client's brows, the hairs feel resistant to movement, lack flexibility, and appear thick or dense in texture, they are likely coarse. Coarse hairs have a more compact cuticle structure, making it more challenging for the product to penetrate the cortex and break down the bonds within the hair. As a result, they typically require longer processing times to achieve adequate softening and successful restructuring.

PLEASE NOTE
To make it very clear, Step 2 ALWAYS mirrors the exact timings of Step 1.

IMPORTANT

It is crucial to regularly assess your client’s hair’s movement during Step 1. If you are coming to the end of your prescribed timings, and there are several hairs that are not relaxed and flat to the skin, they need a longer processing time. If there are a small handful of hairs that lift back off of the skin after the removal of Step 1, they need a 'spot lami'. If this is the case, we would advise applying a small amount of product solely to the stubborn hairs and allow an additional minute of processing time. Assess the results every minute and remove the product once those hairs have relaxed. Gone are the days when we leave our clients to process; regular assessment is key. It may even be that you check the hair and they are ready prior to the end of the decided processing time and that it is time to remove the product before they become damaged.

PLEASE NOTE that thicker/coarser hair types absorb more product than finer hair types. During your check-ups, you might find that you need to apply more product to the hair.

EYELASH LIFTING GUIDED TIMINGS

FINE - 9-11 mins

NORMAL - 11-13 mins

COARSE - 13-15 mins

Timings vary from client to client.

TIMINGS WILL DIFFER IF A FILM/WRAP IS APPLIED.

The new Korean Lash Lifting system contains the same ingredients as the original Buff Browz Cysteamine System, but features a slightly higher concentration of Cysteamine, allowing for faster processing times and improved treatment efficiency. Its thicker, creamier consistency provides superior control and precision, making the application process smoother, easier, and more refined for the use of Korean/Glueless Lash Lifting.

Buff Browz Cysteamine

• Universal for both eyebrows and eyelashes
• Lower viscosity for both Step 1 and Step 2 for pliability of products (moves and spreads easily
• The use of increased amounts of Pink Powder to raise the viscosity of Steps 1 and 2 for Korean lash lifting can dilute the active formulation, which may reduce processing efficiency and lead to longer processing times.

Buff Lashes Korean Cysteamine

• Specifically designed for the use of Korean/Glueless Lash Lifting
• Increasing the viscosity of both Steps 1 and 2 creates a thicker formulation that provides a stronger, more controlled hold on the lashes, helping to weigh and set them more effectively. Because a thicker formula requires less Pink Powder, there is less dilution of the active ingredients, which helps maintain formulation strength and can contribute to faster, more efficient processing times.

If you have previously patch tested with the original Buff Browz Cysteamine system, you do not need to re-patch test your clients with the new Korean Lash Lifting system.

LIFT

The Buff Browz LIFT solution is Cysteamine-based, not TGA-based. Cysteamine Hydrochloride is a much less invasive ingredient. It is a decarboxylated derivative of cysteine, which is the amino acid that makes up 18% of the keratin protein structure. Therefore, it has a strong ability to increase the strength of the hair structure whilst in use. The Buff Browz LIFT is also a nutrient powerhouse and is composed of essential ingredients for optimum hair health. Ultimately, LIFT will not only restructure the shape and direction of the hair, but it will also help to nourish and improve the strength and condition of the hair. This acts almost as a treatment, but also almost obliterates the risk of over-processing the hair. The solution is completely fragrance-free and allows for a slightly longer processing time in comparison to TGA brands which allows for better control.

The additional nutrients included in LIFT are as follows:

- Aloe Barbadensis

- Hydrolyzed Collagen

- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

- Glycerin

- Panthenol

- PLUS the famous Procapil (Biotynoil Tripeptide-1) for ultimate strength

SET

The Buff Browz SET solution is Hydrogen Peroxide based and is also a nutrient powerhouse which ensures that the hair remains as healthy and as nourished as possible, whilst also neutralising LIFT.

The additional nutrients included in SET are as follows:

- Aloe Barbadensis

- Hydrolyzed Collagen

- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

- Panthenol

- PLUS the famous Procapil ( Biotynoil Tripeptide-1) for ultimate strength

- SET also contains Citric Acid which is perfect for ensuring that the hair stays within the acidic region for optimum health whilst also keeping the cuticle sealed.

NOURISH

The Buff Browz NOURISH solution has been methodically designed and composed by our director, who insisted on having key ingredients within the composition to optimise results for both the artist and the client:

- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: A key ingredient to aid regeneration and the reconstruction of the keratin structure.

- Cetrimonium Chloride: Aids moisture and keeps the cuticles sealed and flat.

- Vitamin E: A top-rated antioxidant to aid protection.

- Argon Oil: Aids moisture and Hydration and also contains Vitamin E, which is a great antioxidant.

- Panthenol/Vitamin B5: A great amino acid which aids hair regeneration and hydration.

- Glycerine: Aids moisture and hydration and flattens and seals the hair cuticles.

- Sodium Hyaluronate: Promotes growth and aids moisture as it is a derivative of Hyaluronic Acid.

- Jojoba Oil: A brilliant antioxidant to aid protection.

- Hydrogenated Castor Oil: Encourages growth.

- Algae Extract: A protein powerhouse that encourages growth.

- Glutamic Acid: An amino acid which has a cashmere effect on the hair and maintains good hair structure.

- Citric Acid: Has an acidic pH balance which keeps the hair within the acidic region and keeps the cuticles sealed and flat to lock in moisture and hydration.

The two ingredients serve the same purpose but have completely different structures and affect the hair's anatomy in opposite ways. But overall, they both increase the pH of the hair to an alkaline region, open the cuticle and break the disulphide bonds.

TGA

Stronger and faster-acting, a TGA formula s an excellent choice for coarse, stubborn hair types.

It is great for confident, experienced artists who understand how the product and hair behave and work together in unison for optimal results.

Ideal for downward-growing or coarse lashes; TGA effectively restructures hair to hold a completely opposing shape and structure for extended periods of time.

TGA has a minimal reaction rate.

CYSTEAMINE

Cysteamine is a less invasive ingredient.

It is a derivative of cysteine, which is the amino acid that makes up 18% of the keratin protein structure. Therefore, it has a strong ability to increase the strength of the hair structure whilst in use.

It is generally a slower processing ingredient.

Cysteamine does have a higher reaction rate and can irritate sensitive skin types. Client’s can develop an allergy to cysteamine over time.

The two active ingredients behave differently and each has its own pros and cons. It’s important to note that neither provides nourishing or infusing benefits on a solo basis; these come from the additional ingredients in the formula. All Buff Browz and Buff Lashes systems are enriched with nutrients and botanical extracts to help maintain the integrity and health of eyebrow hairs and eyelashes.

When choosing a system, focus not only on the active ingredient (TGA or Cysteamine) but also on the additional nourishing components for optimal results. Selecting between TGA and Cysteamine ultimately comes down to the artist’s preference and experience.
