Eyelash extension "squirrel effect"

The beauty industry offers several ways to create a dramatic, expressive look. The classic is mascara, daily makeup with eye cosmetics. An alternative to make-up is eyelash extension - a cosmetic procedure with many varieties. One of them is the "squirrel effect", a method of building up with a bright increase in the length of the ciliary row at the outer corner of the eye.

The "squirrel effect" is similar to the "fox" cilia, but there are still differences, and they are defining. The length of the eyelashes increases from the center of the eyelid to its outer corner. The edges of the eyes thus stand out with a spectacular bend, resembling cute tassels on the ears of the animal.

For such an extension, the master will take hairs of different sizes: for example, he will fix the longest ones 5 mm from the outer edge. The peculiarity of the technique is to create a gradual transition to shorter hairs at the inner corner. The choice of the extension method depends on what density the client prefers: eyelash or beam.

Eyelash extensions "squirrel effect" have some features:

• the look becomes more flirtatious and playful;
• daily make-up is no longer needed;
• there will be no need for eyelash curlers either;
• if the procedure is carried out by a competent master, he will select the form that best suits a particular person.

The rest of the build-up "squirrel effect" similar to other types of procedure: the same preparation, care, the need for correction.The difference lies only in the form, which may be invisible to the male gaze, but it is precisely such nuances that can emphasize individuality and create that very zest.

It is important to decide whether the "squirrel effect" is suitable for a particular client. If a woman has genetically long and thick eyelashes, but she wants to visually "lengthen and raise the eye", it makes sense to turn to this method. If the girl does not have such dignity, it is worth looking for a more successful method.

This build-up will suit clients:

• with a rounded or almond-shaped eye shape - a horizontal elongated line favorably softens the rounded shape;
• with visually noticeably bulging eyes;
• those who wish to highlight and visually raise the outer edge of the eye;
• those who want to add mystery, charm, flirtatiousness to the look.

If a woman has wide-set eyes, the squirrel effect is unlikely to be a good choice. Such an increase will make the natural feature more pronounced, noticeable, and such an emphasis is rarely necessary.

Usually eyelashes are extended for up to 3 weeks. It can be prolonged, but it depends on the characteristics of the client's eyelashes, on the condition of her own hairs... Of course, the work of the master also affects the "life" of the eyelashes. If you take proper care of your hairs, the effect will last up to one and a half months.

The following actions will help to maintain the longest effect:

• you can no longer sleep with your face in the pillow, such a dream is one of the main enemies of extended eyelashes;
• you cannot use oil-based cosmetics - it dissolves the glue that holds the artificial hairs;
• it is better to exclude a sauna and a bath from the plans, and if this is impossible, do not go there more often than once every 2-2.5 weeks;
• eyelashes need to be combed every day - a clean mascara brush is quite suitable for this ritual;
• you do not need to rub your eyes, even washing off the make-up;
• you will have to give up curling irons;
• if the girl wears glasses, the length of the eyelashes should be medium so that the touch of the hairs with the glass does not lead to their breakage.

The natural renewal of your eyelashes leads to the fact that along with your own hairs "fly out" and extended. Therefore, it is imperative to go to the correction, otherwise unattractive "bald spots" will be noticeable in the eyelash row... Correction does not take as long as the extension itself, but it happens at intervals of 2-3 weeks.

The main material in the extension is the hairs themselves. They can only be artificial. The names "mink" and "sable" do not indicate the origin of the material. Mink lashes are matte, soft, small in thickness. Sable ones are denser and harder, with their help you can create the effect of painted eyelashes. Silk ones are made of black polymer threads with a glossy texture.

Other materials are also used for building.

• Degreaser... Effectively removes the fat layer, removes the remains of cosmetics, dead epithelium and dust. If the degreaser is good, the glue will work well.
• Primer... This agent makes the effect of the glue more powerful and speeds up its drying.
• Glue. A special composition fixes artificial hairs on natural ones.
• Remover... With this liquid, sticky eyelashes can be removed.
• Tools - tweezers, silicone pads, eyelash brushes, disposable caps and disinfectants.

It is important what conditions the lashmaker creates for work: neat, clean, comfortable, beautiful. These are important criteria for the selection of a specialist.

Eyelashes can not only be given one shape or another, but a certain effect can be created - bending, the density of the hairs can also be controlled. What will be the volume, the type of extension decides.

The master attaches two artificial eyelashes to one of his own eyelashes with tweezers - this is the essence of 2D extension. Thus, a double volume is formed. The effect can last up to 4 weeks, it will take literally 1-2 days to get used to new eyelashes.

You can extend eyelashes with double volume using two technologies.

• Japanese technology assumes a higher quality product, lash gluing and a longer procedure.
• Beam technology - a cheaper option, when not 2 eyelashes are glued to each hair in turn, but a bunch of 2 eyelashes. This speeds up the process, but they will not last as long as hairs extended using Japanese technology.

The scheme is simple - there are 3 artificial hairs for one natural hair. The look becomes more expressive, and together with the "squirrel effect", it can change the visual features of the face. Ladies who want to have eyes like Audrey Hepburn often combine squirrel effect and 3D technologies.

It is also possible to build up 3 hairs by the eyelash method, and by the bundle. Not everyone faces such a super volume, preliminary consultation of the master is needed. If he sees that the effect of makeup, an exaggerated image is being formed, he will offer the client a more optimal option.

The classic way is the most natural. The procedure is performed according to the growth of your eyelashes while maintaining natural proportions. The eyelashes look longer and thicker, but the shape of the eyes does not change. But if you combine the classical method with the "squirrel effect", the eye obviously changes its shape. But the feeling of puppetry and artificiality is excluded.

There is one artificial hair for each hair - this is the golden form of classic hair extension. It is suitable for those whose eyelashes are not so bad, and just want to make them thicker, without "kinks". With the classical method, the "squirrel effect" looks the most natural.

To create the desired effect, the Lash-master takes 3-4 lengths of hair. The shortest ones are 4 mm long, the long ones can reach 22 mm. The thickness of the hairs is also discussed with the client before the procedure.

The procedure begins with the selection of the length of the fibers - they must correspond to the natural length of the hairs. The fit and shape of the client's eyes are taken into account. At this stage, the master consults the woman - it is not always possible to fulfill her request and, more importantly, it will not always be the right decision.

Let's consider the features of the session.

1. Makeup from a woman's face must be completely removed. If the client is wearing contact lenses, they will have to be removed. If your hairs are very light, the master may suggest dyeing them, taking into account further build-up.
2. You need to degrease your own hairs. Further, on the lower eyelid, the master places special strips that do not allow the lower eyelash row to stick to the upper one.
3. The lashmaker begins to fix artificial fibers from the corner of the eye to the middle... For this, a hypoallergenic adhesive composition is used. It is usually black in color, which creates an eyeliner effect.
4. On the upper eyelid, the master marks the point that corresponds to the center of the pupil... He schematically divides the outer half of the eyelid into 3 zones. The extreme segment of the site should be filled with hairs 7-10 mm long.
5. The two segments preceding the last one the master fills with fibers of maximum length (from 11 to 22 mm).
6. Half of the eyelid that goes from the inner corner of the eye is mentally divided into 4 equal segments... They are uniformly filled with artificial fibers from 6 to 10 mm.
7. The client must sit with her eyes closed throughout the procedure.... When the master completes the main part of the work, he will apply an additional glue-fixer, dry it with warm air, and remove the protective strips. The session will end with an examination of the result and, if necessary, correction. Further, the master will instruct the client on how to take care of new lashes, as well as when to come for a correction.

If the client chooses the "sharp squirrel" option, the longest hairs will occupy only 1/6 of the length of the entire row. This will make the eyelash brushes more pronounced.

We should also mention the build-up on the patch. Instead of narrow stripes to "neutralize" the lower lash line, the lashmaker can use hydrogel patches. Often these are not just products that help the extension procedure, but also nourishing masks for the skin under the eyes. So, in one beauty session, you can simultaneously perform two procedures at once. Hydrogel patches are most in demand among masters, but the choice is great: fabric, vinyl, silk, collagen, silicone products also help the procedure.

How the client looks after the new eyelashes determines their service life and the frequency of corrective procedures. Not all ladies who prefer this way of creating a beautiful look know that, for example, swimming in the sea will reduce the lifespan of eyelash extensions. And this is surprising, because often eyelashes are made so that on vacation you can easily do without make-up. Salt water shortens the wearing time of the eyelashes, so there is only one way out - to plunge into the water less.

Here are 7 basic tips for taking care of your squirrel-like lashes.

• If you have to wash off makeup from your eyes (not necessarily mascara, for example, eye shadow or colored eyeliner), you cannot rub your eyelids with cotton pads... This, by the way, should not be done even by those who have natural eyelashes. You just need to put a little micellar water on the skin of the eyes, let it soak for 1-2 minutes, and then gently remove the dissolved "decorative" with a cotton pad. If you just rub, the eyelashes will be injured very quickly.

• You need to comb the eyelashes, but from the middle to the tip, without affecting the roots... As noted above, a clean mascara brush is fine, but you can purchase a special silicone brush. It is needed for the daily styling of eyelashes. This will keep the hairs thick and lush for longer.

• Going to the pool, swimming and diving in chlorinated water means shortening the wearing period of your eyelash extensions. Here you have to give up something in any case.

• If you really want to apply mascara (although this is not recommended when building up), do not apply it straight from the roots... Only from the middle of the eyelash, and only in one layer - otherwise the load on the hairs will be excessive.

• Contact with fats must be completely eliminated.... Oils for eyelashes and eyebrows are extremely useful, but not for extensions. The glue with which the master fixes artificial fibers is very afraid of any oil structures. Therefore, for example, you cannot use a gel for washing. Water based products are the right choice.

• Self-decor of eyelashes can ruin everything that the master worked on for 2-3 hours.... If you want to glue rhinestones, then you need to go to a specialist. He will make eyelashes even with rhinestones, even with colored feathers - and it will be organically and technologically competent. Any amateur activity is fraught with injury to the ciliary row (and sometimes the skin).

• Sleep on your stomach will have to be abandoned. It often leads to the person becoming more comfortable with their face buried in the pillow. As a result, eyelashes may remain on the same pillow. Before time, their own begin to fall out, and with them the increased ones.Sleeping with your face in a pillow also leads to premature wrinkles.

Oil therapy is ideal for this. Two to three weeks of using special care cosmetics will strengthen natural hairs, and how long artificial eyelashes last for centuries depends on their strength.
