When it comes to lash lifts and brow lamination, the choice of formulation plays a key role in the final results. Two of the most widely used options in the industry are TGA (Thioglycolic Acid) and Cysteamine-based formulas. Both work by breaking down the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing lashes and brows to be reshaped and set into a new position.
At Gollee, we provide a full range of solutions — including TGA, Cysteamine, and hybrid lash lift products — to meet the diverse needs of professionals worldwide. Whether your clients have coarse and resistant hair, or fine and sensitive hair, Gollee ensures there is always a tailored option available.
TGA (Thioglycolic Acid): Speed & Strong Effect
Thioglycolic Acid (TGA) is a reducing agent widely used in beauty treatments to break and reshape hair’s internal structure. It acts on the disulfide bonds in keratin, temporarily softening the hair to allow reshaping — for example, curling lashes in a lash lift or restructuring brows in lamination.
- Processing time: 6–8 minutes per step (quick and efficient)
- Strengths: Creates a pronounced curl and firm hold, especially effective on coarse or resistant lashes and brows.
- Best for: Professionals who need a faster service and strong, visible results — ideal for thicker hair types.
Cysteamine: The Gentle Alternative
Cysteamine, a small organic compound derived from cysteine (which makes up roughly 18% of hair keratin), closely resembles the proteins naturally found in hair. This makes it gentler than traditional reducing agents like TGA.
For this reason, cysteamine is commonly incorporated into lash lift and brow lamination formulations, where it helps safely reshape and lift lashes or brows while maintaining hair health, moisture, and elasticity.
- Processing time: 15–20 minutes per step (slower but soft and restorative)
- Strengths: Gentle on natural lashes and brows, helps maintain softness and shine, well-suited to sensitive or fine hair.
- Best for: Clients with delicate hair or sensitive skin, or for professionals who want to emphasize a more caring treatment.
Gollee’s Advantage: Complete Solutions for Every Professional
At Gollee, we understand that every client’s lashes and brows are different — and so are the needs of professionals. That’s why, instead of limiting our product line to a single formula, we provide a full range of lash lift and brow lamination: TGA-based, Cysteamine-based, and Hybrid formulations. This ensures you always have the right solution for every client and every service scenario.
- TGA Systems
Formulated for speed and strong lifting results, TGA-based systems quickly reshape hair by breaking disulfide bonds. They are particularly effective for coarse, resistant lashes and brows, delivering dramatic curls and long-lasting definition.
Gollee’s Z50 single-use sachet system takes this performance further — its hygienic packaging ensures maximum efficiency, prevents cross-contamination, and provides a safer experience for both professionals and clients.
- Hybrid Lash Lift
Our hybrid lash lift & brow lamination solutions are designed to balance performance and gentleness. By combining the lifting power of TGA with the care of cysteamine, these lash lift products provide versatile results suitable for all hair types, making them a go-to choice for professionals who work with diverse clients.
Gollee Z20 is a hybrid lash lift that balances lift and care, giving lashes and brows a healthy, nourished, and glossy finish in a comfortable 19–31 minute treatment.
- Cysteamine Systems
Derived from cysteine (an amino acid naturally present in keratin), cysteamine-based systems are gentle and restorative, ideal for fine, fragile, or sensitive hair. Gollee can also customize pure cysteamine formulations to meet your specific client needs, ensuring effective lift and lamination while respecting the hair’s natural protein structure.

Our TGA and hybrid lash lift and brow lamination systems are always available in stock, while Gollee also provides custom cysteamine-based formulations on request. With support from our experienced R&D team and skilled technicians, professionals can tailor treatments to each client’s needs.
