When can I wash my face after lash lamination?
Eyelash lamination is increasingly attracting the attention of the female half of the population. This procedure gives impressive results, but only if certain rules are followed. It is important not only to perform all the stages of lamination with high quality. Of great importance is the observance of the rules for caring for eyelashes after the procedure, for example, you should not allow contact with water for a certain time.
Features of the procedure
The essence of the lamination procedure is to apply a special nutritive agent based on keratin on the eyelashes. The formulations used differ from different manufacturers, but the principle of their use and the rules of care after the procedure are the same for all cases. The composition with which the eyelashes are processed is fixed throughout the day, and the hairs are restored.
The shape of the eyelashes during this period is unstable, therefore it can easily change from mechanical influence.
In the process of lamination, the applied composition reveals the scales of the hairs. Their complete closure lasts 24 hours... At the same time, each hair is saturated with useful components. When water gets in, they are easily washed off, so the cilia cannot receive the necessary portion of nutrients.
If during this time even a little moisture gets on the eyelashes, the effect of lamination will be reduced several times or reduced to zero. Moreover, the duration of the result will be significantly reduced.
Also, the hairs will lose the acquired shine, will keep their shape worse and will lose the beautiful bend that is attached to the eyelashes during the lamination process.
