Primer (lash degreaser)

Description

Using a lash degreaser is essential for preparing natural lashes before applying eyelash extensions. It removes oils, dirt, and residue, ensuring better adhesion of the extensions. Here’s how to use it:

What You’ll Need:
•    Lash degreaser
•    Microfiber brushes, lint-free applicators, or cotton swabs
•    A lash brush or spoolie
•    Clean, dry lashes

Steps to Use Lash Degreaser:
1.    Prepare the Area:
Ensure the client is comfortable and lying down. Use an under-eye gel pad or tape to secure and isolate the lower lashes.
2.    Dispense the Degreaser:
Apply a small amount of lash degreaser onto a microfiber brush or lint-free applicator. Avoid soaking the applicator, as too much product can drip into the eyes.
3.    Clean the Lashes:
•    Gently brush the degreaser onto the natural lashes, focusing on the lash line where oils tend to build up.
•    Use a second, dry applicator to remove excess product and ensure the lashes are not overly saturated.
4.    Brush Through the Lashes:
Use a clean lash spoolie to comb through the lashes and separate them while ensuring they are evenly coated with the degreaser.
5.    Allow to Dry:
Wait a few seconds for the lashes to air dry or use a fan to speed up the process. The lashes should feel clean and free of residue before proceeding.
6.    Proceed with Lash Application:
Once the lashes are clean, you can continue with priming (if needed) and applying eyelash extensions.

Tips:
•    Avoid getting the degreaser in the client’s eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with saline or water immediately.
•    Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific degreaser you’re using.
•    Use a minimal amount to prevent over-saturation, which could compromise adhesive effectiveness.

Properly cleaning and degreasing lashes is a crucial step for achieving long-lasting eyelash extensions.
