BUFF BROWZ Cysteamine Brow and Lash Lamination Step 1
STEP 1
The Buff Browz Step 1 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 Step 1 is also a nutrient powerhouse and is composed of essential ingredients for optimum hair health. Ultimately, Step 1 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 to allow for better control.
The additional nutrients included in Step 1 are as follows:
- Aloe Barbadensis
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Glycerin
- Panthenol
- PLUS the famous Procapil ( Biotynoil Tripeptide-1) for ultimate strength
TIMINGS
BROW LAMINATION
FINE HAIR TYPES 3-4 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 5-6 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 6-8 minutes
If you brush through your client’s brows and they feel very stubborn to move and
don't move freely, and look and feel very thick in texture, your client has coarse
hair. It will be harder and will take longer for the product to be able to access and
penetrate the cortex in order to be able to modify the structure of the hair.
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
Once satisfied with the eyelash placement on the shield, apply LIFT to the eyelashes whilst avoiding contact with the wet line. The height at which LIFT is applied will determine how dramatic the eyelash lift is.
PROCESSING TIMES (approx)
FINE - 7-9 mins
NORMAL - 9-11 mins
COARSE - 11-14 mins
Timings vary from client to client.
