FlashCare Shape It cream 5ml - Step 1
Professional, fast-acting cysteamine Step 1 for lash lifting and brow lamination
BOOSTIFIC FlashCare is a newly developed, fast-acting professional Step 1 based on Cysteamine HCl (Cysteamine Hydrochloride), specially formulated for lash lifting and eyebrow lamination.
One of the key features of FlashCare is its fast 6-8 minute processing time. It is designed for experienced lash and brow professionals who want to combine the benefits of a cysteamine-based system with a shorter treatment time.
The formula has a pH of 9.0-9.5 and uses Cysteamine HCl as its primary reducing agent, while Ethanolamine helps create the required alkaline environment. The carefully developed formula also contains conditioning, emollient and moisturizing ingredients, including Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Apigenin, Oleanolic Acid, Castor Oil and a Vitamin E derivative.
FlashCare is the faster alternative within the BOOSTIFIC cysteamine product range and can be used with KindCare Fix It - Step 2.
The primary reducing agent in FlashCare is Cysteamine HCl (Cysteamine Hydrochloride), which acts on the disulfide bonds that help stabilize the hair structure, allowing the lash or brow hairs to become workable and ready to be reshaped.
The formula also contains Ethanolamine, which helps create the alkaline environment in which cysteamine can work effectively. FlashCare has a pH of 9.0-9.5. However, the speed of the product is not determined by pH or Ethanolamine alone, but by the complete formula and the appropriate balance and interaction of its ingredients. This is also demonstrated by KindCare, which has a higher pH of 9.8 but works with a longer processing time.
The FlashCare formula has been specifically optimized for a fast treatment process, with a recommended processing time of 6-8 minutes. This is a guideline rather than a fixed processing time: hair thickness, porosity, condition and previous chemical treatments can all affect how quickly the hair processes.
Hair assessment is therefore an essential part of using FlashCare. It is not simply the elapsed time, but the appropriate level of processing of the hair that determines when to proceed to the next step.
For lash lifting: When you want to work with a fast-processing, professional lash lifting formula based on Cysteamine Hydrochloride.
For Korean lash lifting: Thanks to its cysteamine-based reducing system, FlashCare can also be used for Korean lash lifting techniques, following the appropriate professional protocol.
For brow lamination: Its fast processing time can be particularly beneficial for treatments where a faster workflow is desired, especially when working with normal to thicker brow hairs.
For experienced stylists: FlashCare works faster, which means there is less room for error. Its use requires proper hair analysis, precise timing and continuous monitoring of the hair's processing level.
6-8 minute fast processing time:
One of FlashCare's key advantages is its short processing time, helping to significantly speed up the Step 1 phase of lash lifting or brow lamination.
Cysteamine HCl based:
The primary reducing agent in FlashCare is Cysteamine Hydrochloride. It is not a thioglycolate-based system.
Suitable for Korean lash lifting:
The formula can also be incorporated into Korean lash lifting techniques when used according to the appropriate professional protocol.
pH 9.0-9.5:
The alkaline environment supports the reducing process and helps the hairs reach a workable, reshapeable state.
Conditioning complex:
The formula contains peptides, Castor Oil, a Vitamin E derivative, humectants, emollients and conditioning polymers to support the conditioning and manageability of the hairs.
KindCare Fix It compatibility:
After using FlashCare Shape It Step 1, KindCare Fix It Step 2 can be used, so there is no need for a separate FlashCare Step 2.
Cysteamine HCl
The primary reducing agent in the formula. By acting on the disulfide bonds in keratin, it helps the lash and brow hairs reach a workable state so they can be reshaped.
Ethanolamine
An alkalizing ingredient that contributes to creating the appropriate chemical environment for the formula to work effectively. The finished FlashCare formula has a pH of 9.0-9.5.
Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 + Apigenin + Oleanolic Acid
These ingredients are part of the formula's conditioning active complex and are also used in cosmetic hair and brow care formulations.
Castor Oil
Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is an emollient ingredient that contributes to conditioning the hairs and helps provide a softer feel.
Tocopheryl Acetate
A Vitamin E derivative used as an antioxidant and conditioning cosmetic ingredient.
Glycerin + Propylene Glycol + Butylene Glycol
Humectant ingredients that support the formula's moisturizing and conditioning properties.
Dimethicone
A conditioning ingredient that contributes to a smoother, more manageable feel of the hairs.
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride + Polyquaternium-6
Cationic conditioning polymers that support the surface conditioning and manageability of the hairs.
