Eyelash extensions

Eyelash extension has long ceased to be a rarity and has expanded the number of standard cosmetic procedures. Many beauty salons, as well as private masters offer this service to their customers. To be sure that the build-up will give you additional attractiveness and charm, you should familiarize yourself with this procedure in more detail.

In building there is a sea of ​​advantages, because with it you can forget about such a problem as rare and short cilia. After contacting a beauty salon or a private master, many girls were able to gain a new look, which they could only dream of earlier.

It is also worth noting that you do not need to spend more time applying mascara, and also painfully wash it off every evening. The “panda effect” will no longer disturb you, you will always be attractive and desirable.

Despite the fact that many girls increase eyelashes, this procedure also has disadvantages. These include the fact that the effect of the build-up is temporary, and after a while you will need to come in for a correction. After the procedure, you will not be able to sleep on your stomach, so as not to break the new hairs.

The main disadvantage of this event is the fact that after it there is a deterioration in the condition of the native eyelashes, which acquire weakness, begin to fall out actively and are difficult to recover.

Eyelash extensions have contraindications that should be read in advance. Do not use this method for the following symptoms and diseases:

• if your eyes are prone to tearing;
• in the presence of allergic reactions;
• with bronchial asthma;
• with active hair loss;
• during viral diseases;
• with tuberculosis;
• syphilis;
• for skin diseases;
• with diabetes.

Also, do not recommend the master to apply for this procedure during pregnancy and the lactation period, with hormonal disorders. During this period, any events of a cosmetological nature are undesirable.

There are only two basic eyelash extension techniques. This piece and volume. The remaining technology names refer to marketing moves. However, they should also be considered to understand what they are:

• Japanese the buildup is based on the imposition of a single artificial cilium on a live one. This technique is called descend. It uses mink, sable and silk. This technology is also used to increase the lower lashes on the lower eyelid;
• the american the technique is practically no different from the previous one. The only difference is in the materials used. In this case, silicone and rubber are used;
• indonesian The technique is also based on a piece buildup with a special adhesive applied to each hair. Such an addition saturates eyelashes with nutrition and vitamins, helping to maintain their attractiveness for a long time;
• bulk equipment. In this case, on one natural eyelash, you need to glue a few pieces of artificial. The advantage of this method is the fact that the naturalness of the image can be preserved with the help of materials of small thickness;
• beam build-up will take a little time, but it doesn’t last as long as other equipment. In this method, beams are used, which consist of several hairs, soldered on one side. Bundles should be glued at a certain distance.

To get an excellent result, you need to decide on the effect you want to achieve. There are several types of them:

• natural. It is also called classic, because it allows you to get the most natural look. To achieve naturalness, cilia are used, the length of which is 8-10 mm;
• fox Here is used eyelash extensions with hairs of different lengths. Thanks to this technique, you can get an unusual image. Masters make the cilia on the outer side of the eye a little longer, which gives the view additional attractiveness and sensuality;
• puppet. This option will be optimal for the celebrations, because it helps to get an original and unusual image. In this effect, only the eyelash extensions are used with the use of long-length artificial hairs;
• squirrel. To get this result, you will need to pick up hairs of different lengths. Building is made in a certain sequence. Begin the procedure with the outer corners, which stick a longer cilia. Then fill with shorter hairs;
• rarefied. To obtain this effect, you will need hairs of different lengths. They must be glued in a certain sequence at an optimal distance from each other.

The choice of eyelashes should be approached responsibly in order to decide which option is best for you. Carefully choose the master, material, length and diameter of the hairs. Depending on your preferences, you can choose silk or sable extensions. There are also differences in volume and bends.

To determine this parameter, you can use a simple rule. To do this, you need to take one fallen eyelash and measure its length. Add 2 mm to the result. This value is the optimal length for building. For more expressiveness, add 4 mm.

Each length of eyelashes for extension has its own purpose:

• 4-6 mm suitable for working with the inner corners of the eyes;
• 8-12 mm refers to the most sought-after length, because it is used to create a classic look, as well as with an extended version;
• hairs whose length is more than 16 mm only suitable for hiking on various celebrations, photography and parties

This criterion is in the range of 0.1-0.25 mm. The selection of thickness is based on the purpose of building. You can select the desired thickness using the following recommendations:

• 0.1 mm should be chosen if your cilia are weak and constantly fall out;
• 0.15 mm similar to cilia, covered with mascara;
• 0.2 mm. Such a thickness would be ideal for girls who do not want to paint their eyes every morning, and they want their eyes to become expressive;
• 0.25 mm. Masters try to use this diameter only for special occasions, because such hairs are heavy and can cause loss of native cilia.

With the help of a properly selected bend, you can make an adjustment of the eye incision, as well as make the view more “wider”. Bends have several meanings:

• AT – these cilia are similar to natural hairs. They have a straight form that tends a little upwards;
• C - there is a bend here that makes the look more attractive.. Choosing a similar form, you do not need to resort to auxiliary curling or twisting;
• SS is a very strong bend, which is suitable for girls who have straight cilia;
• L - the cilium itself is straight, and the tip is curved. This option is suitable for clients with impending centuries;
• J - there is a slight bend, due to which the look becomes open and light.

The most popular flowers when building is considered black and brown. With the first option, you can emphasize the look, make it more noticeable. Brown cilia will be useful in achieving naturalness, as well as popular among blondes.

However, it does not end in two colors. If there is a desire, the master may suggest that you use yellow, green and even blue hairs. Such an option would be appropriate for those individuals who like to stand out from the crowd and impress the public.

You can choose a different volume depending on the materials used. Partial volume is among the most simple and common methods. Here the cilia are grown only on the outer part of the eyes, which gives the look maximum naturalness. Such a volume will be optimal for daily use.

If you want to get lush cilia, choose the full volume capacity. In this case, the master will use as many eyelashes as there are natural. When choosing this method, keep in mind that you can get a different effect when using hairs of different lengths.

A half volume implies a combination of classic and volumetric technology. The specialist will build up one cilium for half of his own hairs, and two hairs will stick for the second half. Experienced masters will be able to visually change the shape of the eye using this technique.

Do not forget to decide on the type of material to build. There are 4 types of eyelashes that are designed for eyelash extensions. Each species has its own advantages and disadvantages:

• The best choice are natural hairs. They have a small thickness, lightness and are not able to provoke an allergic reaction;
• Silk eyelashes have a slight glossy effect. Similar hairs are able to increase the length and volume. The option is best for a party, but not for everyday wear;
• Mink eyelashes are suitable for every day. They are light and thin, like natural hairs. You should not choose a similar option for girls suffering from allergies;
• sable will help to gain a natural look, but this material is not suitable for women who have weak and thin eyelashes. Sable hairs differ in weight, so not every girl will be comfortable to wear such cilia, despite its unsurpassed effect;
• for one evening you can use simple bundles. They are made of artificial materials. Such eyelashes can even stick a beginner.

In addition to eyelashes, you need to build equipment, without which the procedure would be impossible. You will need to get:

• high-quality hypoallergenic glue;
• toothpicks;
• cotton pads;
• small plastic container for glue;
• tweezers;
• degreaser for eyelashes.

When you prepare all the necessary tools, you can proceed to the process itself. For better learning it is recommended to consider building up in stages:

• place the hairs on a white surface and separate them by length. Do not forget to prepare the glue by pouring it into a plastic container. Before you begin the process of building, tweezers are recommended to handle a degreaser;
• Wash your hands with soap and wash all face makeup. If you treat the cilia and eyelids with a degreaser, you will get a better fixation of the hairs. Under the lower eyelids should be put moistened cotton pads.Cilia comb with a brush for good separation;
• Now you will need to use tweezers to lower the base of the cilia into the glue and stick them on the native hairs. Extension should be made closer to the base of the eyelids. Move other hairs away with a toothpick so that they do not get in the way and press down artificial cilia to fix;
• Artificial hairs should be glued from the outer edges of the eyes to the inner ones. You need to ensure that each eyelash lay in one direction. At the end of the procedure, you will need to lie down for a couple of minutes with your eyes closed to allow the glue to clutch with the hairs. The whole process takes about 90 minutes.

If you do everything correctly, the cilia hold out for about two weeks. Now you should gently wash and not touch the eyelashes with your fingers, so that the hairs do not peel off.

Some girls who decide to build eyelashes, face unqualified professionals who harm the mucous eyes and eyelashes themselves. After the session, the eye hurts and it remains only to re-apply to the specialist so that he removes the newly extended eyelashes. You should familiarize yourself with the most frequent errors of masters in order to be able to prevent the consequences:

• some masters do not know how to keep distance from the eyelids. In each technique of building it is assumed that this distance will be 0.5-1 mm. Often, beginners do not follow this rule, which leads to discomfort when building up. Quite often, inexperienced masters stick artificial hairs on the skin of the eyelid. This can lead to irritation and tightness;
• The next mistake is the wrong formulation of the artificial hairs. Cilia should be fixed from the base to the middle of the natural lashes. Unsuccessful bonding leads to the fact that the eyelashes quickly disappear;
• Regardless of the method of extension, you should remember about autonomy. This suggests that each hair must be located separately. It is not allowed to combine several artificial hairs with several natural ones;
• Aesthetic component plays a significant role. The master should decide in advance what effect he is going to use and position his eyelashes according to the appropriate scheme. Each stage of the extension must comply with a well-thought-out scheme. Neglecting this rule may result in the result being different from the specified one;
• Despite the fact that eyelash extensions are classified as harmless procedures, certain safety measures must be followed. Before the procedure, you should apply special pillows on the lower eyelid and fix the lower row of eyelashes. Neglect of the rules can lead to the fact that the glue falls on the mucous membrane, and the red eyes of the client will not lead to anything good;
• the master should learn to control the amount of glue. Extra portions can lead to natural hairs sticking together;
• it so happens that the master exceeds the allowable number of eyelashes. Extension of more than 110 eyelashes gives the use of artificial materials, which is also a mistake.

The longevity of eyelashes can have different results. It depends on the following nuances:

• master's experience;
• glue quality;
• way to build. Remember that the bundle buildup is not suitable for weak hairs;
• if you wear contact lenses, the period of eyelash wear is noticeably reduced;
• with allergies;
• lack of proper care.

No one can say for how long the extended eyelashes are enough, because this factor depends on the growth rate of your own hairs.The longest period during which eyelashes are worn is 3-4 months. However, in the third week you will need to make a correction to maintain the aesthetic appearance.

Eyelash extension is a rather complicated and painstaking process. In order not to waste your time and money in vain, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of cilia care after building up:

• On the day of the procedure, glue should be attached to the lashes. During the day you can not wet, touch and remove hairs;
• swim in the sauna, bath, and go to the solarium is not worth a couple of days. Contact with heat can damage the mount;
• masters do not advise sleeping face in the pillow. Such a pose will lead to the fact that the eyelashes will break and only a make-up artist will be able to restore them;
• Every morning you need to gently comb the hairs;
• eyes can not be rubbed, because such manipulations can lead to the fact that the hairs will be washed and fall out;
• You can only wash your eyes with a special lotion with a delicate texture. If you want to dye new eyelashes, remember that removing makeup will be difficult;
• It is not allowed to use fat creams and oils. These products adversely affect the glue, which will lead to early loss of eyelashes.

According to reviews, eyelash extension refers to a very common procedure. Girls who decide to make adjustments to their appearance, leave positive comments and actively share their stories. Most say that they decided to use the extension in order to change the shape of the eyes and get a more expressive look. Such a procedure really helps to resolve these issues if you choose a competent specialist.

The enthusiastic reviews of many girls say that they no longer spend precious minutes in the morning on makeup and do not frighten their spouse with the “panda effect” in the evenings. With the help of extensions, you can always look attractive without the use of cosmetics.

Dissatisfaction is manifested only in the restriction of the use of oils and creams, in the prohibition of sleeping face on the pillow, and some girls find it difficult to unlearn the habit of rubbing their eyes. However, these points can not be compared with the advantages of the procedure, due to which the mass of girls gained spectacular and attractive.
