Choosing the right lash lift and brow lamination system can sometimes be confusing, especially with terms like TGA and Cysteamine. Let’s simplify it so you can make the best choice for your needs.
Two Systems to Consider
1. Cysteamine System (Flutter and Frame Sensitive)
- Gentler Option: This system is designed to be softer on the skin, making it great for beginners and clients with sensitive skin.
- Slower Process: It takes a bit longer to work, but it’s ideal for lash and brow clients who want a gentler treatment.
- Greenhouse Effect: To enhance the results, you need to use cling film to create a warm environment, which helps speed up the chemical process.
- Packaging: This system comes in airless pumps and lasts for six months once opened.
- Limitations: It may not give the best results on very thick or coarse hair.
2. TGA (Flutter and Frame System)
- Quick and Efficient: This is the faster option, perfect for experienced lash artists who want quick results.
- No Cling Film Needed: It comes in sachets and pumps, and you don’t need to use cling film.
- Not for Sensitive Clients: This system is not recommended for clients who are sensitive to brow laminations.
Tips from the Pros
Some lash artists mix and match these systems. For example:
- They might use the TGA system for lash lifts and the Cysteamine system for brow laminations.
- Others may prefer the TGA system for both treatments, while some stick to the Cysteamine system for everything.
Ultimately, there’s no right or wrong choice. It all depends on what works best for you and your clients!
