ZOLA Protein Strong Lifting 01 for Eyebrows and Eyelashes 10 ml

Fast-acting protein first step for professional lamination

ZOLA Protein Strong Lifting 01 for Brows and Lashes 10 ml is the first formula in the professional Protein Reconstruction system, developed to make the hair flexible before giving it a new direction or curl.

Its formula combines cysteamine HCL, thioglycolic acid, and a micro-protein complex with hydrolyzed keratin, wheat proteins, and collagen. The processing time is adapted to the thickness, porosity, and resistance of the brows or lashes.

Benefits of ZOLA Protein Strong Lifting 01

• With cysteamine HCL: helps make the hair structure more flexible during the procedure.
• With thioglycolic acid: helps temporarily modify the bonds responsible for the hair’s shape.
• Micro-protein complex: contains hydrolyzed keratin, wheat proteins, and collagen.
• For different hair types: can be used on fine, medium, or coarse hair by adjusting the processing time.
• Professional format: 10 ml bottle for salon services.

How Protein Strong Lifting works

Protein Strong Lifting temporarily increases the flexibility of the brows or lashes so they can be set in a new direction or curl during the procedure.

Cysteamine HCL and thioglycolic acid act on the hair’s disulfide bonds. After the processing time, the formula must be removed completely and the protocol continued with Protein Fixer 02, which neutralizes the first step and sets the new shape.

The micro-protein complex includes hydrolyzed keratin, wheat proteins, and collagen to provide cosmetic conditioning during the chemical process.

Micro-protein complex

Hydrolyzed keratin: helps condition the hair surface and maintain a smoother, more manageable appearance.

Wheat proteins: provide amino acids and conditioning components that help maintain the hair’s flexibility.

Collagen: contributes to the cosmetic care of the hair’s elasticity, shine, and appearance.

These components support the action of the reducing agents but do not replace proper assessment of the thickness, porosity, and previous condition of the brows or lashes.

Recommended hair types

Protein Strong Lifting can be used on fine, medium, coarse, or resistant hair. The time should be selected after assessing both thickness and porosity.

• Fine hair: requires a short time and frequent checks.
• Medium hair: needs an intermediate time depending on its resistance.
• Coarse or resistant hair: may need the maximum recommended time.
• Porous or previously treated hair: may react more quickly and needs especially careful monitoring.

Directions for use

Important: this product corresponds only to Step 1. ZOLA Protein Fixer 02 is not included and must be purchased separately. Protein Strong Lifting must always be used together with Step 2.

ZOLA recommends protecting the skin around the brows with Save Skin. Save Skin is not included and must be purchased separately.

• Preparation: cleanse the brows or lashes to remove makeup, oil, creams, and other residues.
• Drying: make sure the hair is completely clean and dry before starting.
• Protection: for brow lamination, apply a thin layer of Save Skin to the skin around the area without covering the hairs.
• Application: distribute a small amount of Protein Strong Lifting evenly over the brows or lashes.
• Monitoring: regularly check the hair’s flexibility and condition during processing.
• Removal: remove the formula completely with a cotton pad moistened with water.
• Next step: apply ZOLA Protein Fixer 02 to neutralize the first product and set the new shape.

Guideline processing times

• Fine hair: 2 to 3 minutes.
• Medium hair: 3 to 4 minutes.
• Coarse or resistant hair: 5 to 6 minutes.

Times are guidelines. They must be adjusted according to thickness, porosity, resistance, and previous chemical treatments. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging of the batch used.

Use for brow lamination

For brow lamination, apply the product to clean, dry hairs, avoiding unnecessary coverage of the skin. Monitor the reaction throughout the processing time.

After completely removing Protein Strong Lifting, place the hairs in the desired direction and proceed immediately with Protein Fixer 02.

Use for lash lifting

For lash lifting, select the shield and accessories appropriate to the natural lashes’ length, thickness, and resistance in advance.

Apply the formula only to the indicated section of the hair, avoiding the tips, eyelid skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Remove the product completely before applying Protein Fixer 02.
