    Why is Elleebana faster, damage?

    I’ve been wondering this as I choose a lash lift brand. Why does it have a shorter processing time? Because surely perming is perming? Unless it’s stronger and can for that reason be faster but then is it therefore more damaging on lashes? Hoping there’s a different reason!

    Balayage not as expected

    I wondered if I could have some advice on what to ask for next time as this balayage was not as I thought it would be. I thought it would be more natural, streaky and graduated, not a block colour all the way up the high. And that the colour wouldn't be so warm. What's the best thing for me...
