The Role of pH in Elleebana Lash Lift and Brow Products

Elleeplex Profusion, Elleebana's dual-acting lamination system, is unique from other lamination products on the market because you can use it on both the lashes and the brows. Most lamination products are only suitable for use on the lashes. But Elleebana's pH-balanced formula is gentle enough to use on both the delicate hairs of the lashes and brows.

Most people remember the concept of pH, or potential of hydrogen, from chemistry class. But how does it play into the effectiveness and versatility of Elleebana's lash lift and brow products? Well, let's check out the science behind it!

A Refresher on pH

In case your memory from chemistry class is a bit fuzzy, pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. The scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Solutions with a pH below 7 are acidic, while those with a pH above 7 are basic.

The term "pH" stands for "power of hydrogen." It measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. The more hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH and the more acidic the solution is.

pH Balancing: Why Does it Matter?

Now, you may be wondering why pH is so important when it comes to lash lift and brow products like Elleebana’s. Well, the answer lies in the delicate balance of our hair and skin's natural pH levels. The hair has a slightly acidic pH of around 3.5-5.5, while the skin's natural pH is typically between 4 and 6.5.

Using products with a high or low pH can disrupt this balance and cause negative effects on the lashes and brows. This is why lash and brow techs need to be mindful of the pH levels in the products they use.

How Elleeplex Profusion Uses pH

Most lamination products have a pH between 8.1 – 9.5, which means they're a bit more alkaline. This high pH level helps break down the disulphide bonds in the hair so techs can reshape it and set it in place during the lamination process.

These products can damage hair, but they’re particularly harmful to the skin due to its lower pH compared to hair. This is why most lamination products are typically recommended only for use on lashes.

The pH level of Elleeplex Profusion is around the same pH as that of the skin. This makes it safe to use on both the lashes and brows without causing any damage or irritation.

Other Benefits of a Balanced pH

Apart from being gentle on skin, a balanced pH also helps to maintain moisture balance in the hair follicles. Hair needs hydration just like our skin does, and an imbalanced pH can strip away natural oils and lead to dryness. With Elleeplex Profusion, you can keep your client's lashes and brows healthy, moisturized, and nourished while achieving beautiful lift and definition.
