Elleebana Hybrid Flex Shields - Combo Pack (3 Pairs)

What are Hybrid Flex Shields?
Crafted from ultra-soft silicone, these shields provide a comfortable, form-fitting experience for various eye shapes. No adhesive is needed on the back, making lash lifting more comfortable and efficient. The unique hybrid design, combining a round rod base with a straight upward lift, prevents over-curling and speeds up application, saving salons time and money.

Features to Adore:

• ULTRA-SECURE: Designed with state-of-the-art locking curvature, these shields mold perfectly to the eyelid, ensuring optimal flex for most eye shapes.
• TREE TAB GRIP EFFICIENCY: Our signature tree tab grip (featuring the iconic Elleebana tree logo) allows for easy placement, attachment, and removal, providing effortless control when working with gloved hands or tweezers.
• DURABLE & LONG-LASTING: Made with high-quality materials to ensure longevity, these shields perform best when cleaned and maintained according to recommended methods.

So when do I opt for a Flex Shield, Rod, Or Hybrid Shield?

When it comes to performing a lash lift — a procedure that reshapes and lifts a person’s natural lashes — choosing the right tool can make all the difference. Lash technicians often ask: which one is better, flex rods, flex shields, or flex hybrid shields?

While each has its unique advantages, knowing when to use each one will help you achieve the best results for your clients. Let’s break down the individual purposes and benefits of flex rods, shields, and hybrid shields.

When to Use Flex Rods:

• For a natural curl look: Lash rods are great for clients preferring a soft, natural-looking lift. They create a gentle C-curl that enhances without being too bold.
• For medium to long lashes: Dropping down in sizes of your rod is advised if your lash wrap isn’t extending enough past the apex. For really long lashes, this will ensure the tips of the lashes don’t touch the lid (annoying for clients, especially when wearing mascara.)
• For downward-facing lashes: Rods help achieve a better lift as they create a gentle C-curl rather than lifting the lashes straight up, aligning more with the natural growth direction of downward-facing lashes.
• For hooded eyes or tapered eyelids: Rods ensure lashes curve out and away from the lid without hitting the brow bone, perfect for hooded eyes.
• For multi-layered lash lines: Rods provide better separation and lift when dealing with multiple lash layers.

When to Use Flex Shields:

• For a dramatic look: Flex shields are perfect for clients seeking a bold, eye-catching lift that adds volume and impact to the eyes.
• For shorter lashes: Shorter lashes benefit greatly from a lift straight from the base, enhancing length.
• For naturally curly lashes: Flex shields work well with lashes that already have a natural curl, straightening them out and creating a neat, clean look.
• For protruding eyes or curly lashes: Shields help smooth and lift naturally curly lashes, making them ideal for unruly lash growth.

When to Use Flex Hybrid Shields:

• For the best of both worlds: Hybrid shields provide a combination of base curl and straight lift, creating an M/L curl effect.
• For medium to long lashes: These shields are great for varying lash lengths, however choice of size to suit the lashes is important.
• For all lash types: Whether the lashes are naturally curled, straight, or downward-growing, hybrid shields work well across different lash profiles.
• For multi-layered lashes or curly lashes: Hybrid shields smooth and lift unruly lash growth, ensuring a consistent, beautiful curl.
