What is the difference bewteen Korean and traditional lash lift?
Korean eyelash lift (also commonly known as Korea inspired or Asian lash lift or Glueless eyelash lifts) technique uses Cysteamine hydrochloride as main ingredient instead of thioglycolic acid (TGA) or its derivatives in case of traditional lash lifting technique.
Cysteamine hydrochloride due to its low pH value are much gentler on the eyelashes compared to traditional TGA based techniques.
Korean Lash Lift Features:
Cysteamine-based solution is perfect for clients with sensitive eyes or those wanting a gentler and safer lash treatment.

Traditional Lash Lift Features:
Traditional lash lift methods are suitable for clients who do not have any sensitivity issues with the contents of the lash lift solution which contains thioglycolic acid (TGA).
