Elan FixPowder, 9 g, is a fixing powder for the second step of lash lamination: mixed with Step 2 in a 3-5:1 ratio, it gives a dense, sticky mix that holds hairs to the silicone rod for 8 minutes. The powder is built for precise placement without spreading.
Key point: the mix of powder and Step 2 is held on lashes for 8 minutes, a time documented by the manufacturer for the second lamination step, and it's exactly what tells you when to move on to the final aftercare.

How long it lasts
The powder is used in small portions: one procedure only needs the amount mixed at a 3-5 parts powder to 1 part Step 2 ratio. Usage depends on the client's lash density and how much mix the technician prepares as a reserve. Track your own usage over the first few procedures, it gives you a benchmark for how many clients a 9 g bottle covers.
Who it's for
The powder suits a technician who performs lash lamination and wants precise, controlled fixing of hairs at the second step without the mix spreading. It gives a dense texture, so the mix doesn't slide off the rod during layout, and minimal usage per procedure makes the bottle economical.
Short application guide
Lashes are cleansed with Detox-Mousse 2.0 and the foam rinsed off with water. Lower lashes are taped with patches, and the tips are protected with Skin Protector 2.0 against over-drying.
Step 1 is applied to dry, clean lashes, 1 mm away from the roots, and removed first with a dry, then a damp cotton swab. FixPowder is mixed with Step 2 in a 3-5:1 ratio to a uniform, sticky texture, applied to the silicone rod, lashes are laid out and left for 8 minutes.
Frequently asked questions

At the second step of lash lamination, once hairs have already been treated with Step 1 and need fixing to the silicone rod for the next action of Step 2.
What ratio do you mix FixPowder in?
3-5 parts FixPowder to 1 part Step 2, mixed until uniform and sticky with no lumps.
How long should the FixPowder mix stay on lashes?
8 minutes. This is the processing time documented by the manufacturer for the FixPowder and Step 2 mix at the second lamination step.
Does FixPowder replace glue completely?
