BRIK & PEARL Bond Lock - Step 2 Setting
Step 2 of the BRIK & PEARL system — the set. Bond Flex breaks the bonds down, but nothing holds until they're reformed. Bond Lock uses a hydrogen peroxide-based neutralizing system to support controlled oxidation, reform the disulfide bonds, and stabilize the hair in its new shape.
This is the step that decides whether a beautiful lift is still a beautiful lift in four weeks. It's formulated to work in harmony with Bond Flex, giving consistent, reliable bond reformation across a wide range of lash and brow types — fine lashes that need a light hand, and strong ones that need real commitment.
10 ml airless pump bottle — up to 40 services.

The BRIK & PEARL 3 Step System
Every BRIK & PEARL service runs on the same three products. Step 1 breaks the bonds down and Step 2 reforms them — you need both. Step 3 finishes the service, and also goes in at Step 1.5 between the lift and the set.
| Step | Product | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | Bond Flex | Breaks down the disulfide bonds so the hair can be reshaped around the rod or shield |
| Step 2 | Bond Lock — you're here | Reforms the disulfide bonds and stabilizes the hair in its new shape |
| Step 3 | LASH LIFE Volume Filler | Used twice in one service — a one-minute application at Step 1.5 between the lift and the set, then left on at the end as the finishing filler. Also used within Monofusion |

Why Lash Artists Choose Bond Lock
- Controlled oxidation — a balanced peroxide system that reforms the bond structure rather than rushing it
- Built to match Bond Flex — the two steps are formulated as a pair, which is what gives you predictable results service after service
- Consistent across lash types — reliable bond reformation whether you're setting fine lashes or strong ones
- Holds the shape and keeps the flexibility — a set lash should still feel like a lash, not a wire
- Its own processing ranges — Step 2 has separate times from Step 1, listed below, for both lash and brow work
- Dispense exactly what you need — a pump instead of a sachet means the amount is yours to control
- Vegan friendly and made in Italy
BRIK & PEARL vs. Elleeplex Profusion vs. Elleebana One Shot — Which Is Right for You?
| BRIK & PEARL | Elleeplex Profusion | Elleebana One Shot | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Lash lift, Korean lash lift, lash lamination, brow lamination, Monofusion | Lash lift, Korean lash lift, brow lamination | Lash lift only |
| Formula | Hybrid — ammonium thioglycolate (ATG) + cysteamine HCl, with KeraVeg-18 | Cysteamine-based — gentle | Thioglycolic acid (TGA) based — stronger, fast processing |
| Format | 10 ml airless pump bottles — up to 40 services each | Single-use sachets | Single-use sachets |
| Reach for it when | You want one system across lifts, Korean lifts, lash lamination, brow lam and Monofusion — in a bottle you dispense from rather than a sachet per service | You do lifts, Korean lifts and brow lam, and you want a gentle system that covers all of it | You do lash lifts and you want a trusted system that gives consistent results, quickly |
All three are safe on every lash type. What actually separates them is which services they cover, bottles versus sachets, and how they process — which is why plenty of artists stock more than one.
Processing Times

| Lash Type |
Step 1 Bond Flex |
Step 1.5 LASH LIFE |
Step 2 Bond Lock |
Step 3 LASH LIFE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine | 6–8 min | 1 min, remove excess | 5–7 min | Leave on |
| Medium | 8–10 min | 1 min, remove excess | 7–9 min | Leave on |
| Strong | 10–15 min | 1 min, remove excess | 9–10 min | Leave on |
Brow Lamination
| Brow Type |
Step 1 Bond Flex |
Step 2 Bond Lock |
Step 3 LASH LIFE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fine | 5–6 min | 4–6 min | Leave on |
| Medium | 7–8 min | 6–8 min | Leave on |
| Strong | 9–10 min | 8–10 min | Leave on |
Step 1.5 isn't used on brow lamination — go straight from Step 1 to Step 2. LASH LIFE still finishes the service at Step 3.
These are ranges, not timers. Look at strong lashes — 10 to 15 minutes is a five minute spread, and that's deliberate. Room temperature, product viscosity, how much balm or adhesive you used, and whether you've mixed Elleemix into Step 1 all move where you land inside the range. Here's how to check whether the lash is ready.
How to Run a Flex Check and a Set Check
The processing times above will get you there for most clients. The checks are how you confirm the lash is ready before you remove the lotion — lash type, room temperature, how much balm or adhesive you used, and whether you've mixed Elleemix into Step 1 all shift where a particular client lands inside the range.
Why it's worth the ten seconds
- Remove Step 1 too early and the bonds haven't broken down enough to hold a new shape. The lift drops, or never really takes.
- Leave it on too long and you get frizz, tight uneven curl, and a lash pushed further than it needed to go.
- The check tells you which side of that you're on while you can still do something about it.
Flex check — during Step 1 (Bond Flex)
About 30 seconds to a minute before your estimated time is up, take clean tweezers, grip a single lash near the tip, and gently peel it away from the rod or shield, bending it back and down.
| What the lash does | What it means |
|---|---|
| Resists, or holds a C-shape | Not ready. Give it another minute and check again |
| Soft and pliable, folding onto itself into a V-shape or deep U with no spring-back | Ready. Remove Step 1 |
Be gentle. Too much tension during the check can weaken the lash, and you only need to test one.
Set check — during Step 2 (Bond Lock)
Peel a single lash all the way off the rod, then let go.
| What the lash does | What it means |
|---|---|
| Springs back into the curl | Ready. Remove Step 2 |
| Doesn't move | Give it more time |
Frequently Asked Questions
| Does this listing include Step 1? |
| No — this listing is Bond Lock (Step 2) only. Bond Flex breaks the bonds down and Bond Lock reforms them, so you need both to run a service. To get all three steps in one order, see the BRIK & PEARL 3 Step System. |
| Can I use Bond Lock to set a different system's Step 1? |
| No. Bond Lock is formulated to work with Bond Flex and should be used within the BRIK & PEARL protocol. Setting steps aren't interchangeable between systems — each one is balanced against the Step 1 it was designed for. If you're working with Elleeplex Profusion or Elleebana One Shot, use that system's own Step 2. |
| Can I buy just Bond Lock? |
| Yes — we sell all three steps separately, the same way we do with Elleebana and Elleeplex, and most people buying Bond Lock on its own are replacing a bottle that's run out. Just remember Step 1 and Step 2 work as a pair: Bond Flex breaks the bonds down, Bond Lock reforms them. If you don't have Step 1 on the shelf yet, the 3 Step System is the easier way to start. |
| How long do I leave Step 2 on? |
| It depends on the hair type, and the published times are ranges rather than fixed numbers — see the tables above. Room temperature, product viscosity, and how much balm or adhesive you used all move where you land inside the range. Run set checks throughout rather than relying on the clock. |
| What happens if I under-process Step 2? |
| The bonds don't fully reform, and the lift drops early — often within days rather than weeks. It's the most common reason a lift that looked perfect in the salon doesn't hold. Set checks are how you catch it before your client leaves. |
| Do I use Bond Lock for brow lamination too? |
| Yes — same product, different timing. Brow lamination runs on its own processing ranges, listed in the second table above, and they're shorter than the lash times at every hair type. |
| Why does Bond Lock run out before LASH LIFE? |
| From the first pump, Bond Flex and Bond Lock should be used within 3 months. LASH LIFE has a 6 month window. So if you're keeping up with your column, you'll reorder Steps 1 and 2 roughly twice for every one bottle of LASH LIFE. Order Bond Flex and Bond Lock together — they're on the same clock. |
| My new bottle isn't dispensing anything. Is it faulty? |
| Almost certainly not — it needs priming. Airless pump bottles have an internal mechanism that has to be activated before the first use. Press the pump firmly several times and it'll begin dispensing. Do this before your client is in the chair. Never open, puncture, or dismantle the bottle to check the contents. |
| How should I store it, and how long does it last? |
| Upright, always, between 39°F and 77°F. Around 71–75°F is ideal for both storage and working. Unopened it has a 3 year shelf life. Once you prime and first pump it, use it within 3 months. There's a marker on the bottle for that date and it's worth actually filling in — three months goes fast, and an airless bottle gives you no visual cue about how much is left. |
| Is this product for professional use only? |
| Yes. BRIK & PEARL is a professional-grade system intended for licensed lash artists trained in lash lift, Korean lash lift, and brow lamination services. |
