Lash Control Check during eyelash lifting - Why is it essential?
Lorena KeilThe Lash Control Check (LCC) is an essential step in eyelash lifting that helps you adjust the optimal exposure time of Lotion1 to each customer's individual eyelashes. No matter which lotion you use - we do not work with rigid exposure times, but rather analyze our customer's eyelashes precisely. The aim is to ensure that Lotion1 has dissolved enough sulfur bonds to form new bonds in the desired shape with Lotion2.
Without this eyelash lifting control, you risk having too strong, too weak or uneven curls and dissatisfied customers. The so-called "flexibility check" of the eyelashes gives you control over the chemical transformation - so nothing is left to chance.
Why should you ALWAYS do the Lash Control Check?
Flexibility beyond manufacturer specifications
Many eyelash stylists blindly rely on the application times specified by the manufacturer. The problem? These times are only guidelines. Everyone has different eyelashes - in terms of strength, growth direction and condition.
💡 In general, thin eyelashes can often require shorter exposure times because they become flexible more quickly. Thick or robust eyelashes, on the other hand, usually need more time to become flexible.
So remember, the Lash Control Check during the lifting shows when the eyelashes are ready. Even if you exceed or fall short of the manufacturer's instructions, in the end all that counts is how soft and flexible the eyelashes are.
What happens if you ignore the flexibility check?
Without the Lash Control Check, you are blindly relying on exposure times that do not suit your customer's individual eyelash structure. This can lead to:
- The eyelashes are not treated sufficiently and the transformation remains incomplete.
- The exposure time is exceeded and the eyelashes are over-treated.
- Your customer is dissatisfied with inadequate results.

Avoid common mistakes when lifting eyelashes
❌ Blind trust in manufacturer's information : Every customer is unique. ALWAYS check the eyelash structure and perform the LCC.
❌ Underestimated eyelash structure : Particularly thick, strong eyelashes often require more time than the manufacturer recommends.
➡️ Tip : Never remove Lotion1 before you have done the flexibility check!

Lash Control Check: Additional factors you should consider
🌡 Room temperature : It affects the speed of the chemical reaction. Lotions work faster in warm rooms and slower in cool ones.
🍏 Hormone balance and health status of your customer : Factors such as medication intake, vitamin deficiency or stress can influence the exposure time of the eyelashes.
👁 Flexibility of eyelashes : Some customers have particularly strong eyelashes that need more time to become flexible.
Learn to read the eyelashes
Just as a hairdresser checks the condition of the hair during a chemical process, you have to learn to read your customer's eyelashes. Now, as a beginner in eyelash lifting, you may be wondering why all this is for? Only through individual analysis and adjustment of the exposure time can you achieve perfect results. Don't just rely on theory - practice and the Lash Control Check during the lifting will make you an expert.
