Speaking to Briefly News, Bongi Mabentsela, the CEO of @shugarlashpro, shared with the publication about her early days of being in the beauty industry.

"I have always been in the beauty industry, and I have been a lash artist. I got into a lash when I did my training in Russian volume. I did my Russian volume set, and I was obsessed. I knew that this was my calling," she said.

The beautician shared that she came across a woman in Dubia who taught her the technique, which gave her the "confidence" to introduce it to her clients in South Africa.

Bongi Mabentsela said that she uses human hair and glue when conducting eyebrow extensions. She also notes that the procedure is "safe," and they last for two weeks.

"They are very safe, and the only allergy issue would be the glue, which lasts two weeks. You come for a refill, but because it is new to the market, I am working on ways for it to last longer, and I am currently in the process of learning that technique," she adds.
