Eyebrow extension: features and technique of the procedure

Eyebrows play an important role in a woman's appearance. According to fashion trends, they vary in thickness, bend and color saturation. In order to help the fair sex in this matter, in modern cosmetology there is a special technology that allows you to build eyebrows.

It is no secret that eyebrows, as well as eyelashes or hair, can fall out, be damaged, and lose their beauty. Similar situations arise against the background of general malaise of the body, due to serious diseases or under the influence of external factors. As a result, the hairs become brittle, in the course of damage to the hair follicles, the eyebrows become thinner, and bald spots form on them. Of course, you can try to solve this issue with the help of decorative cosmetics, for example, tint them with a pencil or eyeliner, but such activities will need to be performed regularly and constantly to ensure that cosmetics are not smeared from careless movement, rainfall or activities in the pool, swimming in a pond.

Modern cosmetology proposes to solve this problem with the help of such a procedure as eyebrow extension., which, unlike the above methods, will make it possible to preserve the natural appearance of this area on the face as much as possible for a long time. Hair and eyelash extensions have been actively used in beauty salons for a long time, so this technology is not innovative, however, according to reviews, it has a lot of positive characteristics.

Eyebrow extension is a process that allows you to give them the necessary density and shape by increasing the number of hairs, that is, in fact, it acts as the complete opposite of the method of eyebrow correction using plucking.

Extension is performed without any unpleasant painful sensations, the main thing is to accurately determine the color of the hairs and the bend of the eyebrows. The material for the procedure is sold in a set with an adhesive for fixing, in addition, manufacturers have presented catalogs of these products, allowing you to choose the color of hairs that are as close as possible to those already available for women. In addition, you can not only build up your eyebrows in the salon, but also, with a certain skill, do the procedure at home with your own hands.

Correction technology involves gluing individual hairs, a bundle or a whole strip to the skin on a special compound. Depending on each specific case, the amount and type of material used is selected. In addition, there are several ways to perform building up. Sometimes you can find erroneous information that tattooing or microblading is also a type of eyebrow extension, but this is a misconception, since such cosmetic procedures only color the skin, and do not add new hairs to this area.

The procedure for hair extension of eyebrows is very popular today. The essence of the method is to add artificial hairs to the existing ones. This is done in two different ways.

It is worth noting several types of building.

• You can choose one-by-one gluing, which creates the most natural effect. This procedure is quite painstaking, but in the end it will be almost impossible to distinguish your own and glued hairs from each other. In addition, you do not need to remove your hairs at all.
• The second technique is building with special strips. To perform this work, the master uses silicone or latex pads, on which there are already glued hair. The material is completely invisible on the skin, the chosen technique takes much less time to complete, in addition, this particular type is more in demand for eyebrow correction at home. However, a significant disadvantage of using overlays for modeling is the need to shave off the native eyebrows in order to eliminate problems during fixing the material to the glue. In addition, as the hairs grow back, the reliability of the strip attachment will decrease, which negatively affects the durability of the procedure.

Eyebrow modeling using extensions is recommended in the following cases:

• with uneven hair growth;
• with flaws in the appearance of the eyebrows, which have arisen as a result of cosmetic procedures;
• in case of violation of the symmetry of the arcs;
• with hair loss;
• in the presence of scars, as a result of which the hairs in this part do not grow.

Despite the fact that during the extension, no injections of substances under the skin are performed and there is no damage to the hair follicles, a number of contraindications to the correction of eyebrows by this method should be noted. Most of them are associated with an adhesive composition, which is a chemical substance, or with the reaction of the epidermis to the synthetic material of the linings, since the hairs themselves are of natural origin. By the way, the latter are most often made of fur, although there are products made of silk or nylon.

Contraindications to eyebrow extension are the following situations:

• if the client is undergoing antibiotic treatment or chemotherapy;
• the presence of skin diseases in the eyebrow area - eczema, abscesses, and so on;
• predisposition to allergic reactions;
• unhealed skin lesions;
• individual intolerance to any used composition or material.

The salon specialist must discuss such nuances with the client even before the procedure begins, as well as perform an initial examination of the epidermis in this area of ​​the face in order to eliminate the risk of adverse reactions. In general, all the work is done in 1.5-2 hours.

Most women who think about such a procedure have many questions and concerns, therefore, for an objective assessment of the effectiveness of augmentation, it is worth highlighting the positive and negative aspects of the issue.

To the benefits of building the following nuances can be attributed:

• safety of the procedure;
• painlessness;
• the most natural end result;
• masking existing bald spots or scars;
• with proper care, the built-up material stays on the skin for about a month;
• no need for daily eyebrow correction.

As with any other procedure, eyebrow extensions have some disadvantages:

• high cost of the service;
• the need for special care for the eyebrow area and a number of restrictions;
• in some cases, the skin may become irritated;
• the build-up needs periodic correction.

The procedure itself is quite simple; to complete it, you will need a minimum of tools and materials.

The work is carried out according to the scheme described below.

• The removal of cosmetics from eyebrows and eyes is carried out.
• A specialist should test for an allergic reaction.
• The material is selected taking into account the color of the hairs. It is recommended to opt for a shade that will be a couple of tones darker than the hair. Such a nuance will add laconicism to the image.

• After choosing a shade, the master, together with the client, determines the shape of the eyebrows. For this, special stencils and rulers are used. With the help of a marker, the bend of the arcs is outlined, and marks are made at the places of fixation of artificial hairs.
• After that, preparatory procedures are carried out with the skin and natural eyebrows - the hairs protruding beyond the contour are plucked out, and too long are cut. The skin is degreased.
• Eyebrows are extended by treating the hair with an adhesive and gluing it to the skin. The material must be pressed and waited for a few seconds. The work is carried out in the direction from the bridge of the nose to the edges. For maximum similarity with natural material, hairs of different lengths are used. If the extension is carried out by the overlay method, the strips are fixed on the skin one by one.
• In conclusion, the specialist performs additional processing of the material with an adhesive.

To save on paying for the services of an eyebrow extension specialist in the salon, you can perform a similar procedure yourself at home. In this case, you will have to spend only on consumables for work.

Hair extension of eyebrows at home is done using the following tools:

• special stencils and rulers;
• tweezers of different shapes;
• hairs, glue;
• degreaser.

Eyebrow manipulations are performed according to the following scheme:

• using a stencil of the shape of the arcs, the boundaries of the work are determined, if necessary, excess hairs are removed;
• an alcoholic lotion or micellar water can act as a degreaser, the eyebrow area is treated with a selected agent using a cotton pad;
• in the set of material for building, a hair of the required length is selected, it is moistened in glue and applied to the skin, and if the length is longer than necessary, then at the end of gluing the hair can be cut;
• in this way, you need to increase the selected number of hairs until the desired result is achieved with respect to the shape and density of the eyebrows.

If you plan to use records, then the instructions for independent work are presented below:

• their eyebrows are shaved;
• the skin is defatted;
• the line of the eyebrows is marked with a pencil of a light shade;
• an adhesive is applied to the strips;
• after 20-30 seconds from the moment of processing the material with glue, it is fixed on the skin in the direction from the bridge of the nose;
• leftover glue residues must be removed with a napkin;
• at the end of the procedure, the masters are advised to powder the face. As practice shows, the powder has fixing properties, so it will help to keep the strip on the skin for as long as possible.

Typically, the pads last about 2 weeks on the skin, and individual eyebrow hairs can stay on the skin for twice as long with proper care.

Experts do not recommend touching them during the first two weeks after extending eyebrows. This need is due to the fact that the composition takes some time to fix the material on the epidermis as reliably as possible. In addition, you should refrain for some time from visiting the pools and other contacts of this area of ​​the face with water, you should not use scrubs and soap. Make-up for eyebrows is best used to a minimum. When you work out too hard in the gym, hairs can fall off.

As for clothing, during this period, you should avoid wearing turtlenecks or sweaters with a narrow neck.

In addition, it will be useful to have an idea of ​​how to remove material from the eyebrows.

To do this, you can choose one of the methods described below.

• In the first case, it is necessary to purchase a special composition "Remuver". It contains gentle solvents that remove the glue. Experts advise to opt for the gel composition, since it is designed to work with natural and synthetic materials.
• The second option involves the use of water. The removal technology is quite simple - you need to moisten a piece of fabric with warm water, squeeze it out and apply it to your eyebrows. On contact with water, the adhesive will soak, and the hairs can be gently removed with tweezers.

The expressiveness of the look largely depends not only on the shape and color of the eyes, but also on the shape, color and density of the eyebrows. For the harmony of this zone on the face of brown-eyed women, you can focus on this zone by using eyebrow extensions in a color similar to the color of the eyes. This will allow you to give your face the most natural look, because naturalness is always in fashion.

Light eyes will maximally emphasize dark thick eyebrows, which will add brightness to the look without being too artificial. You can achieve a similar effect by resorting to the eyebrow extension procedure, and the result after it will exceed all expectations.
