What is American eyelash extension and how to do it?

An effective and expressive look is the dream of every woman, regardless of her age and social status. Taking into account the increased demand for the eyelash extension procedure, experts in the beauty industry have developed a large number of methods for this procedure. Despite the wide range of technologies, the masters of beauty salons recommend paying attention to the American method, which involves the piece-by-piece fastening of artificial material.

American eyelash extension - an offshoot of Japanese technology, which is based on fixing artificial hair to a natural eyelash. Thanks to this technique, specialists achieve natural effect, and the look becomes deep and captivating. As a fixing agent, a special glue is used, which reliably connects artificial and natural materials. A distinctive feature of this technology is the use of not polymer fibers, but materials made of silicone and rubber, which are highly resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations.

Thanks to the material used and the fixation technique, eyelashes extended using the American method have a number of advantages:

• high level of reliability;
• the ability to form any bend;
• long period of operation;
• spectacular appearance;
• lack of discomfort and sensation of a foreign object on the eyelids;
• increased resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations;
• resistance to mechanical damage;
• environmental Safety;
• no restrictions on the use of cosmetics;
• the ability to wash off decorative agents with any formulations;
• quick recovery after sleep and rest;
• no allergic rashes.

Like any method, this technology has several disadvantages:

• the possibility of holding only in specialized salons;
• duration of the procedure;
• high cost of consumables.

Thanks to the painstaking work of stylists and cosmetologists, the type of eyelash extension can be selected individually, depending on the chosen image, external texture data and the wishes of the client.

Novice fashionistas should take into account that the volume of eyelash extensions depends on the following factors:

• type of extension;
• length and thickness of fibers.

Depending on the technique, building-up is of the following types:

• building up corners;
• partial;
• complete;
• build-up in 2 rows.

For the highest quality and effective creation of an expressive look, manufacturers produce eyelashes of different lengths and thicknesses.... The consumable length ranges from 0.5 mm to 18 mm, and the thickness ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.25 mm.

For the most accurate creation of the selected image it is imperative to take into account the level of bending, which is of the following types:

• inconspicuous - twisting only in the root zone;
• minor - a mild bend for an almond-shaped face;
• average - deep bend to create an open look;
• double middle - increased bend, which is suitable for deep-set eyes and correcting imperfections in appearance;
• significant - bend, which allows you to visually increase the volume and length of eyelashes;
• strong - twisting to create a puppet effect;
• very strong - the bend used for the eastern eye section;
• maximum - twisting, which corrects the imperfections of the overhanging eyelid.

Almost all methods of eyelash extension have a similar technique and general principles of work, so the American method of eyelash extension is no exception. In order to get a beautiful and expressive look, the following sequence of actions must be observed:

• cleansing the working area from cosmetics, dust, dirt and sweat residues;
• degreasing the skin with special cosmetic compositions;
• the application of a primer to reveal the keratin layer of the hair, which will ensure the maximum level of adhesion;
• protection of the lower eyelid from the ingress of adhesive with silicone pads or a hydrogel;
• combing natural eyelashes while creating the required volume and shape;
• choice of extension style, creation of a technological scheme and selection of the necessary consumables;
• fixing artificial fibers on natural eyelashes with preliminary smearing with glue;
• maintaining the required amount of time for the polymerization of the adhesive.

In order for extended eyelashes to retain their shape and attractive appearance as long as possible, experts recommend eliminating all contact with water immediately after the procedure. It is strictly forbidden to sleep with your face in the pillow and to use force when applying or removing decorative cosmetics.

Despite the huge number of positive reviews about the American method of extension, eyelashes after this manipulation also need proper and timely care.

Experts recommend that the first correction be carried out within 3 weeks after the extension, due to the fact that some of the hairs may fall off during operation.

You can remove decorative material only in specialized salons, and when the first signs of discomfort and painful sensations appear, you should immediately contact the master.
