How to care for eyelash extensions so that they last longer?
Women consider eyelash extensions a common thing. However, the effect of the procedure does not always last long. From the material in this article, you can learn how to properly care for eyelash extensions so that they last as long as possible.
Why do eyelash extensions hold poorly?
If the extension procedure is performed by a professional master, eyelashes do not need correction for at least 1.5 months. If they do not hold up well, there may be several reasons. For example, this happens with the natural renewal of their cilia.
The growth and loss of eyelashes is a normal physiological process. Up to 5 hairs can fall out per day. At the same time, they pull the extended eyelashes with them. Over time, their hairs are restored.
However, there are other reasons why eyelash extensions do not last long. Moreover, they do not depend on the professionalism of the master.
For example, this is influenced by the individual characteristics of the client or the condition of the eyelashes themselves. With weakly opened scales, the glue cannot penetrate deeply into the structure of the hairs, so the material cannot adhere well to a natural eyelash.
Another reason may be the accelerated renewal of your eyelashes due to the intake of drugs that stimulate hair growth. If the client has severe hair loss, the artificial material will not be able to last long.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of stress or make up for the vitamin deficiency.
In addition, the reason may be non-observance of the rules of care in the process of wearing. As for the fault of the master, there may be several reasons:
- improper cleansing of natural eyelashes;
- ignoring the process of degreasing the hairs;
- the presence of remnants of a remover before building up;
- poor preparation of the base for working with glue;
- violation of technology when working with glue;
- incorrect setting of artificial hair;
- wrong choice of length or thickness;
- adhesion of cilia, violation of the autonomy of the hairs;
- ignoring the features of the structure of natural eyelashes.
The artificial material does not adhere to a thin and weakened base. At the same time, much depends on the effect. For example, Japanese eyelash extensions last longer than bundle extensions. If in the first case, the loss is not so noticeable, then in the second, during the fallout, pronounced bald spots are formed.
It is not recommended to resort to building up while taking antibiotics and hormone therapy. In addition, it is undesirable to do this in case of inflammatory processes in the body, during critical days and PMS, as well as in a state of alcoholic intoxication.
Do not build up during pregnancy and lactation.
How to take care of the first day?
After building up, it may be noted tearing... Its appearance is associated with the evaporation of the components of the used adhesive. Eye drops or a fan may be needed immediately after the procedure. The specialist who carried out the extension will help to make the choice.
However, drops should be used as a last resort, it is better to fan yourself (excessive eye hydration threatens to nullify the extension procedure).
Besides, the master must give the client several recommendations for initial and further care... If the recommendations are followed, the artificial material will stay on the hairs until the next correction without large losses. You cannot rub your eyes with extended eyelashes with force. At first, it is better not to touch the eyelids at all.
Even accidental mechanical stress at this time, they can provoke a break in the hairs. First evening wearing you can't wet your hairs with water, wash your face and even cry... The glue used for the extension is sensitive to salt. Tears can weaken your grip. In the first 2 days, do not dye your eyelashes with mascara.
To make extended eyelashes last longer, on the first day you will have to give up bath procedures and a trip to the sauna... During this time, the glue will set better. During this period, it is better not to paint or curl your hair. Such manipulations will lead to a sharp loss of not only the built-up material, but also natural eyelashes.
Daily care rules
It happens that within a few days after the extension, the cilia begin not only to fall off, but also stick out in different directions. Often this is not the result of poor work of the master, but a consequence of improper care. Often, ignoring the recommendations of a specialist, clients completely forget about the rules of care. This is partly due to a reluctance to change their habits.
In other cases, girls constantly touch the cilia, touch them by touch, stroke along the growth line, although physical impact even on the skin around the eyes is highly undesirable. There are a number of limitations that should not be overlooked. For example, you cannot:
- wash your eyes often, as water drops will fall on the adhesions;
- expose cilia to chlorinated water;
- try to remove the built-up material on your own;
- use a fat cream or cosmetic oil;
- wash your face with hot water and steam for a long time in the bathroom;
- wipe dry eyelashes with a towel;
- use curling tongs.
Choose the right cleanser without oil and alcohol... For example, you can buy mild soap, cleansing foam, or baby shampoo. In order to soften, the product must be diluted with water. If possible, it is better to purchase a special product for eyelash extensions.
Cleansing is carried out with water and an eyelash comb. Mascara should be taken on a water basis. When removing makeup, do not use cotton pads. The villi can catch on the hairs. If you want to make up your eyelashes, it is better to avoid getting mascara on the root zone.
Eyelashes make the look more expressive, therefore it makes sense to stop using eyeliner and shadows... You cannot glue rhinestones on extended eyelashes. Natural hairs can fall off under the weight of the additional material. However, they must be styled daily using a special comb.
If you need evening make-up for a special occasion, it is worth choosing cosmetics with a minimum level of fat content. It is better to remove makeup with cotton swabs, trying to act as carefully as possible.
If the client wears contact lenses, it is better to refuse them for the period of wearing eyelash extensions, replacing them with glasses.
How to sleep properly?
You don't need to sleep on your back or side. You cannot lie down with your face in the pillow: this can cause eyelashes to wrinkle and break. In addition, they can unwind, losing their presentable appearance.
Sleeping on your back is the prevention of early wrinkles. It is also good for the spine.
