1. Complete Step 1 using CysteFlex Lifting Lotion and remove the product thoroughly according to the CysteFlex service instructions.
2. Confirm that the lashes remain correctly positioned on the shield or that brow hairs are arranged in the desired direction before applying Step 2.
3. Apply CysteFlex Fixing Lotion evenly over the treated lashes or brows, focusing on the areas that need to maintain their new direction.
4. Process according to the CysteFlex Step 2 timing recommendations and the client's natural hair characteristics.
5. Remove Step 2 thoroughly before proceeding to CysteFlex Step 3 Nourishing Lotion. Avoid disturbing the lash or brow direction while removing the product.

Applying Step 2 before checking lash placement → Once the fixing stage begins, the hair is being set into its current position. Recheck separation and direction before applying the lotion.

Uneven Step 2 coverage → Areas with insufficient product may not set uniformly. Apply controlled, even coverage across the treated hair.

Removing lashes from the shield too early → Premature movement can disturb the shape before it is fully stabilized. Keep the lashes securely positioned throughout the recommended Step 2 processing time.

Using the wrong timing → Under-processing may result in inconsistent setting, while unnecessary over-processing can compromise the hair. Follow the CysteFlex timing guide and assess the client's hair condition.

How does Step 2 affect the final retention of a lash lift?

Step 2 is responsible for stabilizing the newly reshaped lash and helping secure its direction. Inconsistent application, insufficient coverage, or incorrect processing can affect how evenly the new shape is maintained.

Can I use CysteFlex Fixing Lotion with another brand's Step 1?

CysteFlex Fixing Lotion is formulated as Step 2 within the CysteFlex system, so using it with another brand's lifting lotion is not recommended unless the manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility. Different systems can have different chemistry and processing requirements.

What happens if the lashes move while Step 2 is processing?

The fixing stage is intended to stabilize the hair in its new position, so movement during this stage can contribute to uneven direction or inconsistent results. Carefully check lash placement before applying Step 2 and minimize unnecessary movement during processing.

Why can lashes feel stiff after the fixing stage?

A stiff feel can be related to product buildup, uneven application, or the overall condition of the natural lashes after chemical processing. Use controlled product coverage and complete the CysteFlex three-step process, including Step 3 Nourishing Lotion, to support a softer, more flexible finish.

Why do my lashes sometimes look uneven even though Step 2 was processed correctly?

Uneven results can originate from lash placement during the lifting stage rather than the fixing lotion itself. If individual lashes were crossed, separated unevenly, or positioned at different angles before Step 2, the fixing stage can lock those inconsistencies into the final shape.
