What are eyelashes made of?

Every woman strives to look perfect 24 hours a day. Modern women of fashion can no longer imagine their life without eyelash extension procedures. In this article, we will figure out what artificial hairs are made of.

In the modern beauty industry, there are artificial and natural eyelash extensions. Most often, it is the first ones that are used.

These include:

• polyester;
• acrylic polished fiber;
• PBT fibers.

Eyelashes made made of polyester, they are durable and do not cause allergic reactions... Synthetic hairs are resistant to moisture and practically do not absorb it. Thus, the condition of polyester eyelash extensions is unlikely to be affected by adverse weather conditions.

If it comes about polished acrylic, its use by modern craftsmen is minimized... The fact is that the first eyelashes for extension were made from this material. The hairs are quite dense and have a uniform color. However, their texture is overly harsh, so they look unnatural. Today, such hairs are practically not used.

Modern stylists prefer PBT fiber (polybutylene terephthalate)... It is a thermoplastic polymer. The hairs are durable and elastic, they look very natural and graceful.

Cilia made of plastic do not absorb odors and do not provoke allergic reactions. Also, dust does not accumulate on them, they are not affected by adverse weather conditions (rain, wind, snow).The texture of the thermoplastic polymer eyelashes can be matte, semi-matte and glossy, while having a rich dark color.

Let's consider these options in more detail.

These eyelashes are one of the most popular types for extensions. Thin and light hairs, the thickness of which does not exceed 0.05 mm, are ideal for owners of weak and short eyelashes... The texture of the "mink" is matte.

Another popular type of PBT fiber. Hairs made of "silk" have a matte or glossy texture (thickness - up to 0.25 mm)... Their color is not as saturated as that of the "mink", therefore it is relevant for white-skinned young ladies with blue eyes.

The disadvantages of this type include deformation of the tips, which occurs during the wear process.

The villi are made of durable plastic and have a glossy texture. Known for their elasticity and thickness. Used to add volume and length to natural lashes. but most cosmetologists note the stiffness of sable hairs.

The beauty industry did not disregard women who prefer eco-friendly materials. One of the materials for the manufacture of natural eyelashes for extension, Hevea juice (Brazil)... From rubber, thin threads are obtained, which are distinguished by their strength and elasticity. The price for such material is justifiably high.

Do not forget about the villi of fur of fur animals. They are subjected to special processing and sorting.

The cost of cilia made from fur of fur animals is high, moreover, the duration of wearing does not exceed 2 weeks. This material is quite rare.

All materials for eyelash extension must be purchased from a specialist store, where quality assurance will be provided to the buyer. Quality products are hypoallergenic, do not cause irritation and discomfort.

There are also certain requirements for already extended hairs.

So, experts advise:

• on the first day after the procedure exclude moisture ingress on artificial hairs;
• two days after building avoid visiting solariums, saunas and baths;
• if possible do not touch the "fresh" cilia throughout the day;
• if after building the woman is experiencing severe discomfort, pain, then the eyelashes must be "removed" and consult a doctor for qualified help.

Buying eyelash extensions should be taken seriously. The fact is that low-quality materials can cause irreparable harm to health.

When purchasing one or another type of eyelash extension, pay attention to the following recommendations.

• The density of the artificial villi should match the thickness of the "native" eyelashes. Weak hairs will not be able to withstand heavy loads.
• When choosing the length of the eyelashes, the oval of the face is taken into account. Thin, elongated villi are relevant to chubby young ladies. Short ones are more suitable for ladies with a thin elongated oval.
• Partial extensions can be used to create a particular image. Most often, artificial hairs of maximum length (20-25 mm) are used.
• The low price of artificial eyelashes should alert you. It is unlikely that cheap materials will differ in durability and quality.

If a woman decides to carry out the procedure at home, then it is best for her to start with the beam method. When choosing a glue, it is advisable to pay attention to the product of the same brand under which the eyelashes are produced..
