- Less durability of the result. Due to the requirements for the adhesive composition (it must be hypoallergenic), you have to sacrifice the duration of wearing your eyelashes.
- More frequent need for correction. Bald spots are especially noticeable with beam build-up.
- Difficulty wearing. It is more difficult to get used to the lower fake eyelashes, if they are not curved enough, they can cling to the upper row.
The peculiarities of the procedure include the need for constant access to the work area. The client has to keep his eyes open, and an inexperienced craftsman can accidentally get glue on the mucous membrane.
Execution technique
Lower eyelash extensions using eyelash or beam technology. The choice depends on the density of your own eyelid framing and other individual characteristics. The master has to act with pinpoint precision. Any mistakes will lead to complications: swelling of the eyelid area, poor fixation of the adhesive layer. For the client herself, the task is also not easy: she needs to spend several hours with her eyes open.
The basic procedure will be as follows.
- Patch overlay. The silicone pad is placed under the fold of the eyelid so as to isolate its surface as much as possible.
- The eyelashes are degreased. With the help of special formulations, the natural protective lubricant is removed from the surface of the hairs. This is necessary for the adhesive composition to set better during lashmaking.
- Straight tweezers separate the hair on the eyelid.
- A separate artificial eyelash or bunch is dipped into the glue with the base. No droplets should remain on the surface. If there are any, you can carefully leave the excess on the patch.
- Using curved tweezers, the prepared artificial material is fixed on the client's own eyelash.
- The study is carried out from the outer corner of the eye to the bridge of the nose until the desired result is obtained.
Lash extension of eyelashes on the lower eyelid is a laborious and complex process. This procedure is quite expensive, but all the costs are justified. The look after her changes dramatically.
It is only important for the master to avoid mistakes, for example, to select the correct size of artificial hairs (no more than 1.5-2 mm longer than natural ones), their bend (A or J).
In addition to the technique of execution, when carrying out work in the area of the lower eyelid, the master must be very careful about isolating the sensitive skin in this place. Careless preparation will lead to the formation of damage and even to the appearance of edema, inflammation. To avoid complications, it is imperative to pay attention to the correct isolation of the lower eyelid. The hydrogel patch or its silicone analog should be positioned as close to the lash line as possible. If necessary, it can be secured with secure adhesive tape.
If negative reactions appear after building-up (swelling, redness of the skin, individual intolerance to the components of the glue), it is imperative to take measures. The examination should be carried out by an ophthalmologist, who will prescribe adequate treatment. It can be anti-inflammatory drops and ointments, sometimes eyelash extensions have to be removed.
Who is it for?
Lower eyelash extension is a procedure that is not suitable for every girl or woman.... Contraindications include a certain shape of the eyes, increased sensitivity of the skin in the lower eyelid. It is not recommended to carry out extensions in cases where your own eyelashes are too thin and weak. On this basis, artificial hairs simply will not stick. Owners of thick and fluffy own eyelashes do not need this procedure either, the changes will be subtle.
Whoever will benefit from this type of lashmaking is fair-haired and fair-haired girls. Such changes will bring the necessary accents to their image. This is also true for girls who are already using 2D or 3D extensions on the upper eyelash row. This option looks interesting with a Hollywood lashmaking doll - the effect of wide eyes will be enhanced.
The extension of the lower eyelashes works well in the presence of features in the eye section or minimal cosmetic defects... It will divert attention from problem areas, help add attractiveness to the face.
With obvious age-related changes, the additional volume of the ciliary line on the lower eyelid is best avoided.
Eyelash care
After eyelash extension, regular care is required. Even when using a high-quality adhesive base artificial hairs need careful handling. You will have to forget about sleeping with your face in the pillow: mechanical contact will lead to the fact that the used materials will simply come loose. It is forbidden, after extending the lower eyelashes, to intensively rub the eyes with your hands and in general often touch this area of the face.
Facial care will also have to be looked at in a new way, since greasy creams and gels can affect the organic base of the glue. Changing cosmetics to a lighter one will help solve the problem, extend the life of artificial eyelashes. In addition, the following points can be noted among the recommendations for care.
- Observance of sterility when wearing contact lenses. It is imperative to use hand sanitizers. When wearing glasses, they also need to be regularly treated with special compounds, to keep the lenses clean. In this case, it is better to ask the master to focus on splendor: too long hairs will cling to the frame and glass, and the risk of their mechanical removal will increase.
- Fighting lacrimation. This liquid can significantly shorten the lifespan of your artificial eyelashes. If a girl is emotional, inclined to dramatize everything, you should pay attention to other ways to increase the expressiveness of the eyes.
- Correct drying. At first, it will be unusually long to feel the heaviness of the water on the eyelashes after they get wet. In no case should you remove excess moisture with a hair dryer or a towel. It is permissible to use a cotton pad with which you can blot excess water.
- Use of special protective compounds... They help to isolate the adhesive layer from the influence of the external environment. Toners for natural eyelashes will be useful both during the period of rest from the extension, and during its active use.
It is strongly discouraged to try to remove or stick artificial hairs on your own. In the area of the lower ciliary row, the skin is very sensitive and thin, easily damaged, inflamed.
In addition, with inept removal, you can easily lose your own eyelashes.
Washing
Immediately after the procedure, it is necessary to exclude contact of the face with water. A complete ban on washing is valid for 3 hours. This is necessary so that the adhesive is completely dry and set. In the future, when washing, you can use only cool water, hot water can harm or violate the integrity of the bonding layer.
When taking any water treatment, you need to be extremely careful. Contact of eyelash extensions with salt sea water is not recommendedas they may come off. In the period after lashmaking, you cannot attend procedures that involve a long stay of a person in a humid environment with hot steam. Bath, sauna can cause irreparable harm to artificial hairs, leading to the fact that the result of the build-up will be completely lost.
When washing your face daily, you should change your usual products to micellar water. It has a softer effect on the surface of the skin, allows you to delicately treat the face with a cotton swab without affecting the ciliary edge.Eye make-up removal is carried out using alcohol-free solutions. For cleansing, cotton swabs or discs are used, providing a point effect. When removing mascara from eyelashes, you must act very carefully and delicately, avoid sudden jerks.
The eyelashes themselves are washed with cool water daily. After the procedure, they need to be allowed to dry, and then proceed to combing. Tangled eyelashes fall out faster.
Combing
In order for the lower eyelashes to look beautiful and neat after extension, you need to take care of proper care of them in advance. Combing can be distinguished among the mandatory measures necessary to maintain the achieved results. A special silicone brush or its wooden counterpart with natural bristles is used for it. A regular mascara brush, although it looks similar, is not suitable for this purpose.
When combing eyelash extensions, certain guidelines must be followed.
- Carry out the procedure regularly. You need to comb the eyelashes once a day, in the morning, and additionally after each wash.
- The first time combing is performed not earlier than the second day from the moment of the lashmaking. This is necessary for the glue to set.
- When brushing, you need to move the brush from the base of the hairs to the tips. The eyelid itself must not be touched, otherwise the adhesive layer may be damaged.
- Brushing is recommended exclusively on dry eyelashes. It is better to pre-dry wet ones to avoid tangling.
- If the brush gets tangled, remove it as carefully as possible. You should not jerk or try with all your might to comb the problem area.
Observing all the recommendations for combing, you can save the result from the extension of the lower eyelashes for the longest possible time.
Correction
Experienced craftsmen know that with constant use of lashmaking, it is impossible to do without correction. This procedure allows you to restore the original result if some of the hairs have already come off and fell out. Only problem areas are affected, which significantly reduces the duration of the specialist's work - on average, a session lasts only 40 minutes. The cost of the procedure is also significantly reduced.
It is worth considering that correction is the gluing of new eyelashes while maintaining at least 50% of the previously used mass of hairs. If there are fewer of them left, a full-fledged overgrowth is performed. To avoid unnecessary expenses, you need to first appear at the master's salon 2 weeks after lashmaking. The specialist will assess the intensity of the growth of your own eyelashes during this time. Usually, the correction is prescribed for 3-4 weeks from the moment of building.
It is important to consider that it is recommended to take a break every 2 months. Artificial hairs are completely removed for 20-30 days. If your own eyelashes are strong enough, thick and elastic, you can pause once every 6 months. Such a break is necessary, otherwise, over time, the lashmaker will simply have nothing to attach artificial materials to.
Correction requires an individual approach. Its frequency is determined by the following points.
- The choice of the extension method... The tufts fall out earlier than the hairs fixed by the lashes.
- Eyelash growth rate. The higher it is, the more often you will have to visit the salon.
- Compliance with care recommendations. If you break them, the hairs will detach faster.
- Correctness of the procedure. It is worth paying attention to the experience of the master, reviews of his work, the conditions for performing the build-up.
- Associated factors. When taking hormonal drugs, antibiotics, and endocrine diseases, artificial hairs and glue will hold on worse and come off faster.
Taking into account all these points, it is possible to ensure a timely request for correction, to avoid the costs associated with a complete overcoverage.
