Shapefix - Shape It Lotion 5x1.5ml - Step 1
The main ingredient in the ShapeFix product line is thioglycolic acid, which plays a key role in eyelash lifting and eyebrow lamination. This strong reducing agent effectively breaks down the disulfide bonds in keratin, allowing the restructuring of the hair. As a result, eyelashes and eyebrows can be easily shaped, curled, and fixed into the desired position, providing long-lasting results.
Duo Product: The ShapeFix product line offers a duo product that can be used for both eyelash lifting and eyebrow lamination. This solution allows professionals to perform both treatments with a single product, providing a flexible and cost-effective solution.
Eyebrow lamination:
The ShapeFix product line is especially recommended for thick, wiry, and unruly hairs where a stronger product containing thioglycolic acid is needed. However, for those with sensitive skin, it is advisable to use the KindCare product line, which contains cysteamine, to avoid skin irritation during eyebrow lamination.
Eyelash lifting:
ShapeFix is especially recommended for lifting stubborn, thicker eyelashes, but it can also be used for normal and thin lashes. Since thioglycolic acid is a strong reducing agent, an intense chemical process occurs during the application of ShapeFix. This allows effective shaping of the eyelashes and achieving long-lasting results. However, it requires close attention to the processing time and continuous monitoring of the condition of the lashes during the treatment.
Enriched with Aloe Vera:
The ShapeFix product line's formula enriched with aloe vera helps maintain the health and strength of eyelashes and eyebrows. The moisturizing and soothing properties of aloe vera help reduce any irritation that may occur during the treatment and contribute to the regeneration and strengthening of the hair. Aloe vera is rich in nutrients, supporting healthy growth and flexibility of the hair.
Pioneering development: Products containing thioglycolic acid for eyelash lifting and eyebrow lamination were among the first of their kind, appearing on the market nearly 10-15 years ago. These products play a pioneering role in the world of eyelash lifting and lamination, enabling effective and long-lasting results.
Pro Tip for professionals:
Since the ShapeFix product line contains thioglycolic acid, it is crucial to adhere to the processing time. Pro tip: always check every 30-60 seconds during the processing time to ensure that the "Shape it" curling cream has sufficiently softened the hair. If the hair is adequately softened and has achieved the desired shape or curve, you can proceed to the next step, which is using "Fix it."
Although the manufacturer’s recommended processing time serves as a guideline, it is very important with ShapeFix products to frequently check the softening of the hair, as thioglycolic acid is a much stronger reducing agent than the cysteamine-containing products of the KindCare line. Therefore, special attention must be paid to avoid damaging the eyelashes or eyebrows. Different types of eyelashes and eyebrows can have varying processing times. Many factors can influence the processing time, such as the thickness, pigmentation, and porosity of the hair. Weather conditions can also affect the processing time; for example, extreme heat may extend the processing time by a few minutes. Eyelash setting balms or creams can also influence the processing time, with some types potentially extending it by two to three minutes.
Good News: The Boostific EasyFix eyelash setting balm is designed not to extend the processing time, so you can work with the standard processing time. Thorough analysis of the eyebrows and eyelashes before the treatment is essential. Therefore, it is always important to tailor the treatment to the given circumstances.
