Mink eyelash extensions

Thick long eyelashes give the eyes expressiveness, make the look languid, beautiful and mysterious. An uncomplicated eyelash extension procedure allows you to hide the lack of your own too small or sparse eyelashes, and if they are completely absent, it is a way out of an unpleasant situation. Mink eyelashes have a number of advantages due to which they are very popular.

The essence of the procedure is to supplement your own eyelashes with synthetic ones. In the work, artificial materials are often used, since hairs made from natural fibers easily crumble, cause discomfort when in contact with the mucous membrane of the eye.

There are few manufacturers of natural mink cilia, however, they are not very popular. The main disadvantages are the following points:

• natural hairs are more likely to cause allergic reactions;
• a high risk of the appearance of pathogenic microbes that can cause inflammation of the eyelids;
• high price;
• the aesthetics of appearance is quickly lost, since natural villi are less resistant to external factors;
• it is difficult to work with them.

The structure of artificial hairs is similar to that of mink, but they are made from monofilament. The presence of additional components provides color saturation, gloss. Hair thickness varies from 0.07 to 0.25 mm. The optimal length is 10 mm, but you can also choose the longest, the size of which is 14 mm.

• j - hairs are characterized by smooth lines, as close as possible to natural contours, are built up on a separate section of the cilia;
• b - is a natural bend of hairs;
• with - medium-sized curl, makes the look more open and expressive;
• d - large bend, looks impressive and is more suitable for festive events;
• l - strong curl, looks unnatural, resembles dolls' eyelashes.

To choose the right curl, it is better to consult a specialist. It will help you choose not only the desired bend, but also the appropriate volume and length.

Mink cilia are very popular because they are versatile. Any extension technique can be applied to them. A necessary condition is only good condition of your own hairs.
