What should not be done with eyelash extensions?

Extension is a popular procedure to help lengthen and add volume to your lashes. In addition, the effect created after the salon procedure lasts for a long time. By resorting to such actions, you can get high-quality eye makeup and later save time on daily eyelash augmentation with mascara.

In order to preserve the original appearance of eyelash extensions during the entire period of their wearing, you need to properly care for them. AND if the eye makeup after eyelash extension is minimal, then the time spent caring for the artificial locks of hairs attached to the upper eyelid may increase.

With improper or rare care, artificial hairs can curl, intertwine with each other, come off, and have an untidy appearance.

The fundamental factor that allows you to keep fake eyelashes beautiful for a long time is following some rules on the first day after the extension procedure. During the first day, there are a number of prohibitions, the observance of which must be performed in order not to spoil the appearance of the cilia.

1. Keep eyes closed for 20 minutes after the end of the procedure. This time is necessary for the glue used to attach the strand to dry.
2. Avoid contact with water.You cannot wash, visit the pool, since the glue completely solidifies within 24 hours from the moment of application, and the ingress of water can lead to peeling off of part of the artificial strands.
3. Use decorative mascara. The use of cosmetics and its further removal can also lead to peeling of the cilia.
4. Avoid swimming in salt water, crying, as the saline solution can make the glue harder to harden.
5. Dive into the water. During a jump into the water, the pressure on the non-dried glue will be very strong - some of the attached strands may come off or deform.

Despite a number of restrictions, after returning home, eyelash extensions must be gently combed with a clean mascara brush or a special brush with natural bristles.

By combing the cilia in this way, you can identify possible shortcomings and mistakes made by the master, for example: an uneven indent from the edge of the eyelid, the presence of hairs glued together. If you find such shortcomings, you can immediately contact the salon and fix them on the same day.

Artificial eyelashes require careful attention not only on the day of extension, but also during the entire period of their wearing. For so that the eyelashes retain their original splendor, do not tangle or come off, several rules and recommendations are required to be followed.

1. Do not use cosmetics, face care products, or oil-based makeup remover lotions. The essential oils included in such products will have a negative effect on the adhesive ability of the applied composition used during the build-up, corrode it, thereby leading to the gradual peeling off of the strand of artificial hairs.
2. You should regularly brush your eyelashes with a special brush to prevent hairs from tangling. The manipulation should be carried out at least 2-3 times a week. And if the artificial hairs are very long and thick, then they must be combed daily.
3. Do not rub your eyes hard, and do not use sponges and cotton pads when washing your eyes. The procedure can only be carried out using a soft foam or gel without oil.
4. It is not recommended to use powder eyeshadows, as they can crumble on extended eyelashes during application or throughout the day. In this case, the artificial eyelashes will have an unkempt appearance.
5. You cannot use waterproof decorative mascara for make-up, since when washing it off, you cannot do without friction, which can spoil the appearance of the cilia.
6. You should monitor the position in which the body is during sleep. If during the night the eyelashes rub against the pillow, the appearance of the artificial strands will be ruined. Therefore, while wearing eyelash extensions, you should sleep on your back or side.
7. Refuse to visit baths and saunas, where high temperatures are maintained. Hot water vapor will break down the adhesive, causing the eyelashes to fall off.

Compliance with the listed requirements will help prolong the effect of building up for the maximum possible period. But even while treating such cilia very carefully, one must not forget about timely and regular correction.

The first correction procedure should be performed within 1.5–2 weeks after the extension. The further interval can be extended to 3 weeks. But the length of time after which one should resort to the correction procedure must be agreed with the beautician on an individual basis.

Thinking about giving long-term volume to eyelashes, as well as increasing their length, using a salon procedure, you need to carefully weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of such a manipulation. If the decision to build up has already been made, then before signing up for a specialist, you should learn about some of the intricacies of this procedure. There are several useful tips that should be taken into account in order for the extension done to exceed the expected result and bring only joyful emotions.

1. You should carefully approach the choice of a specialist. In this case, you can use the reviews or information on the website of the salon where the master works.
2. During the recording, you should inquire about the materials that will be used during the procedure, as well as the time that will be spent on it.
3. It is better to perform eyelash extension on a weekend, as well as a few days before the event, if you need to give expressiveness to your eyes for any significant event. Eyes need to get used to artificial eyelashes so as not to feel discomfort during work or celebrations. Usually it takes 1-2 days to get used to it.
4. Cosmetologists offer many extension techniques. Before the master starts gluing the hairs, it will be necessary to discuss the technique used with him. When choosing this or that method, you need to build on the case for which the build-up is carried out. And if for a celebration the eyelashes can be highlighted more brightly, then if the extended hairs are used in everyday makeup, it is worth giving preference to the technique where the effect will be close to natural eyelashes.
5. You cannot resort to building up in case of eye diseases, possible allergic reactions, as well as after surgery. All cosmetic manipulations in this case can be performed only by agreement with the attending physician.

Modern methods of eyelash extension will help you get an expressive look without risking the health and condition of your own eyelashes. An experienced master will carry out the manipulation painlessly, using only high-quality materials.
