How to care for your laminated eyelashes at home?
Eyelash lamination is a very popular procedure among modern girls. It allows you to improve the volume, curl, color and shape of the hairs without additional build-up. The result of the procedure can last 2-3 months with proper home care.
Features of care immediately after the procedure
We can say that the final result of the procedure depends on the correct care on the first day. Subsequently, at home, you can not take care of the hairs so carefully.
The basic rule on the first day is that the eyelashes cannot be wetted after lamination. It means that you need to avoid contact not only with water, but also with any cosmetic products. It is worth considering in advance that you will have to do without makeup. Eyelashes may appear greasy or sticky, but they don't need to be parted, wiped, or curled.
Hair after the procedure is fragile, more susceptible to external influences. Therefore, they should be protected from mechanical damage.
In 24 hours, the lashes are completely fixed and take on a new curve. During this period, you need to handle them carefully, because they can be damaged, for example, from a pillow.
What to do next?
After proper care on the first day, eyelashes can be left without careful attention, since the solution has already been absorbed. To keep your eyelashes healthy and beautiful longer, you need to follow simple rules.
- Be sure to wash off your makeup before going to bed. Although you do not need to use mascara when lamination, all cosmetics must be carefully cleaned.
- Eye cosmetics should be of high quality. Watch the expiration date carefully.
- Protect your eyes from the sun in summer. Ultraviolet rays negatively affect the condition of the skin and hair, the latter become fragile and brittle.
- The lamination procedure itself is a care process, therefore, after its implementation, there is no need for additional funds.
- It is not recommended to use cotton pads when removing makeupor rather, do not put too much pressure on your eyes. It may not immediately worsen the result of the procedure, but it will contribute to the early wear of the hairs.
- Mascara can be used, but since the eyelashes after lamination are already more magnificent and have a greater curvature, it is advisable not to use it every day. It is recommended to choose mascara with a more gentle composition, for example, hypoallergenic or for sensitive eyes. You can also find nutrient products in cosmetic stores. You need to apply mascara in a thin layer, without lumps, without weighing down the eyelashes. The excess can be removed with a special eyelash comb.
- If you use facial scrubs or products containing alcohol, the area around the eyes should be avoided.
- Contraindications for visiting the sauna, bathhouse, pool and spa are valid only on the first day after the procedure. In the future, you do not need to worry, because the keratin on the hairs is fixed and will not be washed out.
- Every morning after sleep, it is recommended to comb your eyelashes with a special brush, which can be purchased at any cosmetics store. It is also advised to comb the hairs during the day to keep them curved. This should be done without strong pressure, because the material can be removed with a brush. And it is also worth once every 1-2 weeks to apply nutritious oil (castor, almond or burdock) to the hairs, carefully, without falling on the growth line, only from the middle to the ends. To improve the result, you can apply the oil overnight.
- When washing your face, the water should be at room temperature. Water that is too hot or too cold will negatively affect the condition of your laminated lashes. You should not strongly wipe your face with a towel - it will be enough just to get wet, the rest will air dry.
- If you wear contact lenses, when installing and removing them, you should carefully pull back the upper eyelid, without touching the eyelashes. There are no contraindications for using lenses after eyelash lamination.
- If on the first day after the procedure it was impossible to mechanically influence the hairs, including sleeping with your face in the pillow, then you can choose any sleeping position that is convenient for you.
At first glance, it may seem that the listed rules are too many, but this is not so. By following this simple guide, you will enjoy lamination on your lashes for longer.
How to recover from unsuccessful lamination?
The lamination procedure must be performed by a qualified technician with professional materials. It lies in the fact that a special composition of nutrients and minerals is applied to the eyelashes... If the technology was violated, then the client will have unpleasant sensations that need to be detected as soon as possible and the lamination removed.

- Loss of eyelashes. This problem may arise due to poor quality materials or individual intolerance to ingredients. Unfortunately, hairs cannot be quickly restored. First you need to remove the coating, and then, if necessary, build up the missing eyelashes.
- Swollen eyelids, itchy eyes. Any client may experience an allergy to drugs used in lamination. To prevent this, it is necessary to carry out a test in advance on a separate area of the skin. If redness, itching or swelling develops, you should immediately see your doctor so that he can prescribe the correct treatment.
- The hairs are not frizzy. The lack of a result of the procedure is possible for several reasons:
