Eyelash Extension Materials

Extended eyelashes are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from real ones due to the improvement of technology and materials. Experts advise to choose products from well-known manufacturers. Cheap materials cause irritation and allergic reactions.

To extend eyelashes at home, you will need a small sterile room. Regular disinfection and sterilization of the equipment is mandatory during this cosmetic procedure. The list of required tools is quite large. These are not only tweezers, but also primer, cotton pads, glue and much more.

Used tweezers must be processed each time the procedure is completed. You need to disinfect them with special means. No master can do without this simple tool. With tweezers, it is easy to grab the eyelash and stick it on.

In the course of work, the master uses two different tools. They differ from each other in form. Curved tweezers are used to grip the false eyelash. This is the only way to attach it at the required angle. This fiber has a diameter of 0.05-0.25 mm. Another device will not be able to grab the eyelash.

The second tweezers are straight-edged. It is used to separate and grip natural eyelashes.To make things easier, many manufacturers have released extension kits that already contain everything you need.

The cost of such tools will depend on the quality of the materials used. For beginners, inexpensive tweezers can be selected. If the master has moved to a new level and is engaged in volumetric build-up, he cannot do without professional equipment.

Work safety is the key to the popularity of any master. This is why it is so important to pay special attention to instrument disinfection. There are several types of sterilizers, which one to choose for yourself - each master decides individually. At the first stage, the instrument is disinfected with special solutions. On the packaging you can find data on the concentration, and inside - instructions for use. For each brand of the agent used, the soaking time is different and can range from a few minutes to half an hour.

After disinfection tweezers must be thoroughly rinsed and sent to the second stage of sterilization in the apparatus. The work surface is also subject to cleaning. Most often, the processing of instrumentation takes place under the influence of high temperatures. For this, dry heat is used - a special apparatus capable of destroying all types of microbes. The only drawback in this case is the time spent on quality processing.

You can only put in such a unit a tool that was made of high-quality Japanese steel or metal with an admixture of cobalt. Any other material may not be able to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The cost of such tweezers is not always available to novice craftsmen, respectively, and they rarely use a sterilizer of this level.

Ultrasonic equipment can be considered one of the alternatives to dry heat. These units have proven to be highly efficient helpers. The destruction of microbes occurs by means of ultrasonic waves. In a short time, harmful microflora is completely removed from the surface of the tweezers. At the same time, the instruments retain their shape and attractive appearance. When using a tendon, deformation often occurs, and there is a loss of gloss in the tweezers.

If we talk about the advantages of ultrasonic sterilizers, then the following should be noted:

• the surface of the device does not heat up so that you can burn yourself against it;
• equipment made of any alloy can be sterilized in them.

There is one more equipment that is used for sterilization in eyelash extension - glasperlen... This is a small container. Inside it are balls made of quartz glass.

Such a sterilizer works according to a simple principle: built-in heating elements heat up the balls. After that, tweezers are immersed inside the container. Processing time is 30 minutes. This is enough to kill viruses and germs.

Such a small-sized accessory allows the craftsman to save time and money. When using a palette, the consumption of glue is two times less than without it. Being inside a small recess, the substance dries more slowly, respectively, it retains its adhesive properties longer. The small size allows you to easily place the palette on the table next to other fixtures.

On sale you can find a round, oval, square accessory. There are also more rare forms, for example, in the form of a honeycomb or a flower. In general, they do not differ in their functionality, so the only difference is in the preferences of the master.

You can classify palettes by the number of holes placed in them. There are models for 15, 22, 28, 31 and 49 pieces. The volume of each is the same and is designed for one drop of glue. The cells can be made in the form of petals, a small oval or a circle.It is possible to purchase transparent and monochromatic models, there are also multi-colored options. For the convenience of the masters, pallets with a holder were invented.

The lining is thick, so it is difficult to damage it with tweezers. The material is soft and flexible. You can put the tray on your hand, which is very convenient during work. Don't worry about the accessory slipping off.

No matter how good the lighting is in the room, it is not enough for eyelash extensions. If there is no point equipment, then there is a possibility that the master will do his job poorly. Professionals advise choosing a magnifying lamp. It not only helps to improve visibility, but also visually increases the processing area. The cilia are clearly visible, so the artificial fiber fits perfectly on them.

The only thing to consider is such equipment is expensive. In addition, if you constantly use such a lamp, your eyes begin to get tired. The light is regulated only in some models, therefore, after several hours of work, concentration of attention decreases.
