What are the differences between a Korean lash lift and a classic lash lift?
Are you a beauty professional or simply passionate about the perfect look? Are you wondering which is the best lash lift method between a traditional lash lift and a glueless Korean lash lift?
In this article, we help you understand the real differences to make the right choice based on your clientele, products, or expected results.
Glueless Korean Lash Lift: A Gentle and Natural Revolution
The Korean lash lift, also called glueless lash lift, is a technique inspired by Asian beauty routines, using cysteamine as the main active ingredient. It allows you to lift the lashes without gluing them onto a shield with traditional glue. Result: a gentler, faster method that respects the lash fiber.

Step 2 — Glue-Free Application (Asian Method)
Apply the thickened solution along the entire length of the lashes, without attaching them to the shields immediately.
After the processing time, gently remove the product, then wrap the lashes around the chosen shield, without using glue! The lashes are already softened and hold on their own.
Pro Tip: Use plastic wrap to secure the curl well.
