All About 7D Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions have enjoyed increased popularity for several years in a row. They allow you to make the look more expressive, and the framing of the eyes themselves brighter and more beautiful. There are several types of this procedure. In this article, we will take a closer look at such extensions as 7D. We will learn not only all the subtleties of this method, but also study the correct follow-up care.
Peculiarities
Eyelash extension today is carried out using two technologies.
- Traditional European involves attaching several cilia to your own at once. At the same time, the eyelashes are made of artificial materials and are glued with synthetic glue.
- Japanese technology allows you to increase the volume of eyelashes by attaching one eyelash to a natural glue based on resin. In this case, eyelash extensions are made from natural materials.
The 7D build-up is categorized as the traditional European method. During its implementation, 7 artificial ones are attached to one natural eyelash at once.
A number of factors are considered the main features of such a build-up.
- Duration of the procedure. Although the extensible eyelashes are already assembled in mini-bundles, you can attach them smoothly and beautifully only after spending a lot of time.
- The artificial hairs themselves are soft and velvety to the touch. They practically do not differ visually from natural eyelashes.
- The use of such extensions allows you to create a very expressive and memorable look.
- During the procedure, it is not necessary to use dark-colored hairs - you can create colored eyelashes that will definitely not go unnoticed.
And still few people know, but initially such a build-up was called Hollywood - it was with his help that the stars of cinema were created their beautiful and expressive views.
Advantages and disadvantages
But like any other cosmetic beauty procedure, this one has its advantages and disadvantages. If we talk about its advantages, then in part they are also features.
- Getting a chic and expressive look.
- Preservation of a beautiful result obtained for a period of 3 months.
- Simple care for new eyelashes.
- Your eyes will always look perfect. There will be no smudged ink or smudged pencil effect.
- Saving time for morning makeup. All that is needed is to lightly touch up the eyelashes with a brush in the morning.
And also a good eyelash extension specialist will help slightly change the shape and shape of the eyes. it allows not only to improve the appearance of the cilia themselves, but also to correct the shape of the face in the eye area, in particular.
There are also some drawbacks here.
- Although the effect of the procedure remains for a long time, it is necessary to periodically correct it.
- Wearing glasses and contact lenses will shorten the duration of the procedure.
- The duration of the build-up itself. On average, the procedure takes more than 2 hours.
- High price. A high-quality implementation of such a build-up costs at least 3 thousand rubles.
- An allergic reaction may occur. Moreover, both the new hairs themselves and the glue on which they are attached can provoke it.
- 7D eyelash extension cannot be done permanently. Masters strongly recommend taking a break for 2-3 months after 3 procedures.
It is important to note that many do not take into account the fact that new cilia have their own weight, which is quite strongly felt on the eyelids. Not everyone can get used to it quickly.
And also during the first days, you can not wet the cilia. You cannot rub your eyes with your hands, and after any water procedures, they must be carefully, but carefully, combed with a special brush. And yet, if your cilia are naturally weak and thin, then such a procedure will only worsen their condition and increase the level of fragility.
However, supporters of extended eyelashes say that the effect of the procedure is worth the risk - the look becomes expressive and alluring, and the time for morning makeup is also reduced, while you always look great.
Extension technology
Before you go to an appointment with the master, you need to familiarize yourself with exactly how the procedure should be performed. This will make it possible not only to make sure in the course of the preparatory work in the professionalism of a specialist, but also will make it possible to correctly calculate the time for building up.
First of all, all the necessary materials and tools are prepared. The foreman must be wearing gloves, which he changes after each client.
Tools and accessories should be packed in individual packs and bags, which the master opens only in the presence of the client.
The procedure itself is performed in the following sequence:
- preparation of the necessary materials and tools;
- removing cosmetics from the client's face and degreasing the surface with a special tonic;
- then you should expand the bundles of hairs on the working surface;
- pour glue into a special container;
- patches are applied under the client's eyes and eyelash extensions are marked with a special pencil;
- each bundle of cilia is taken with tweezers and gently dipped into glue with the tips at the attachment points of the cilia;
- new hairs are attached according to the pattern on the patch to the client's eyelashes.
During the procedure, the master if necessary, can use both special brushes and brushes, in order to change the angle of inclination of the extension, and, if necessary, correct the direction of growth of the eyelashes and the incision of the eyes themselves.
Who is it suitable for?
This type of extension is intended for a long period. If the procedure is performed by a professional, then the minimum wearing time is 1 month, and the maximum is 3 months. Most of all, it is the 7D extension that is suitable for those girls and women who:
- love to be in the spotlight;
- have their own strong eyelashes by nature;
- have a bright and expressive appearance and a large eye shape.

Any special occasions are also grounds for such a build-up. - weddings, anniversaries, various performances and performances. And also the procedure is suitable for those girls who do not have vision problems and do not wear contact lenses or glasses.
How to care?
In order to preserve the result obtained after the procedure for a long time, it is necessary to observe a number of rules.
- As already mentioned, you cannot wet your eyelashes for the first time after the procedure. It is usually said that within the first 3 hours. However, experienced masters recommend refraining from water procedures for the first 12 hours.
- It is strictly forbidden not only to rub your eyes with your hands, but also to simply touch your eyelashes, checking them for strength. This can damage their delicate structure.
- You can't sleep on your stomach. It is also necessary to ensure that the eyelashes do not come into contact with the pillow or blanket. This can lead to a change in their appearance and premature fragility.
- The use of oily creams, lotions and tonics, especially in the eye area, should be abandoned immediately. They destroy the composition of the glue and lead to the loss of cilia.
- It is absolutely impossible to wash with hot water and use any detergents.
Also, experts recommend that you refuse to visit saunas, swimming pools and showers during the first 3 days.
It is also important to remember that afterwards, after any water procedure, the cilia must be combed. To do this, use a special brush, with which the hairs are separated from each other - this must be done slowly and carefully in the direction from the roots to the tips of the eyelashes.
Possible negative consequences
Before rushing to the procedure to the master, you must remember that the extension specialist must really be experienced. It is necessary to study his work and even require a certificate of obtaining the appropriate qualifications. Otherwise, some negative consequences are possible:
- extended cilia will have different lengths and shapes due to the fact that the hairs are glued to different heights, which immediately becomes visible, and the shape of the eyes is distorted;
- drops of glue will be clearly visible on the surface of the cilia and skin of the eyelids;
- a few hours after the procedure, the extended cilia will begin to spontaneously fall out.
Therefore, very it is important to choose an experienced and responsible master, and the first thing to pay attention to is the cost of the procedure and real reviews. Here is the very case when you cannot save.
