Eyelash extensions with ray effect
Eyelashes "rays" look very natural, but at the same time they are able to visually "open up" the gaze and make the natural beauty of the eyes more noticeable. Since this type of extension has its own specifics, only an experienced specialist should be entrusted with its implementation.
Peculiarities
Extension of eyelashes-"rays" means that along the arch of the eyelid, long synthetic fiber hairs are glued after a certain amount of the same short ones. The master selects samples with different length and thickness, but looking harmoniously against the natural background. Usually, long fibers are glued after 5-7 short ones, but at the request of the client, this gap is reduced or increased. The direction of the glued bristles is determined in such a way that the effect of rays evenly diverging in different directions is created.
Unusual build-up should only be carried out by a qualified technician, since the whole process is laborious and requires a painstaking approach. Removal of old hairs and overgrowth can be carried out only after two months.
It needs to be made clear that often building up "rays" is confused with the creation of a sparse effect. However, the second type, which is also incomplete extension, means that false eyelashes are attached at a certain interval, without filling the entire eyelash row. This procedure is carried out much faster, and the result is not particularly noticeable to the eyes.
When creating "rays", the material is attached to each native cilium, but it is selected in different lengths and thicknesses.
The main advantage of this procedure is getting a natural looking result, especially if a brown material is used. The duration of the effect is more than two weeks, and all this time you do not need to think about using mascara. If you follow the recommendations of experts, then walking with artificial eyelashes will be possible for a whole month. With the help of extensions, you can slightly raise the overhanging eyelid, increase the volume of hairs, or slightly modify the shape of the eye. Waterproof glue is not afraid of rain and does not provoke allergic reactions.
When using a black adhesive base, there is an additional effect of using an eyeliner. Gluing artificial hairs in those places where their own is minimally presented, makes it possible to outline the contour of the eye and add volume to the eyelashes. The hypoallergenic glue used in the work allows the procedure to be carried out even if there is an allergy to the components present in other preparations.
It should also be added that light hairs are practically not felt on the eyelids.
As for the cons, then building "rays" on thin or weakened eyelashes is still too heavy and leads to serious damage to the hair shafts. Owners of dry skin often report tightness of the eyelids and other allergic manifestationsarising from the use of glue.
On the other hand, girls with oily skin report that excess sebum prevents artificial fibers from being properly fixed. The loss of even a couple of "rays" will lead to the disappearance of the effect of splendor, as a result of which the eyes begin to look less tidy. It must be admitted that there is still a high probability of injury to your own eyelashes.
In principle, the disadvantages include the fact that the extension procedure is quite lengthy and sometimes even goes beyond the promised 2 hours. However, this is not due to the fact that the villi stick or dry out for a long time, but due to the fact that the master first has to draw up an individual scheme and select the material. Thus, it is more convenient for both parties when the procedure is carried out in two stages. First, the lashmaker examines the client's natural hairs and listens to her wishes, after which he draws up a diagram. At the next meeting, direct extension takes place using hairs of the required length and thickness.
Who is it suitable for?
The use of extended "beams", in principle, is a classic build-up, therefore, suitable for everyone, without exception, regardless of the shape of the eyes and face. If a woman has her own thick and long eyelashes, then the use of hair extensions will create a "doll" effect. Short dense hairs with the help of "rays" become elongated and voluminous.
Long, but sparse eyelashes after the procedure will become thicker, and short straight eyelashes will acquire a beautiful curvature and greater length. To create the most natural look, the B-bend of the bristles will help, but to enlarge the eyes and lift the overhanging eyelid, it is better to turn your attention to the C- or D-bend. Type C also gives the impression of being dyed with mascara.
Eyelashes - "rays" are suitable for both blondes and brunettes, but in the first case it is better to choose brown hairs, and in the second - black.
However, in some situations it is undesirable to create the effect of "rays".
- If the client's own eyelashes grow too rarely, then the use of long synthetic fibers will only emphasize their imperfection.
- When wearing glasses, hairs constantly rub against the glass and are damaged as a result. Unpleasant sensations can occur in this case and during blinking. However, you can fix the problem by choosing the L-curl of false eyelashes.
- Thin and weak eyelashes simply cannot bear the weight of artificial material and, most likely, will begin to come off along with it.
Variants
As a rule, for building up "rays" either silk or mink is used. In the first case, a thicker material is used, which creates a natural volume, and in the second case, a natural shine appears, and the eyelashes look painted. It should be added that false mink hairs are also lighter.
The shape of the eyelashes, as well as the curvature, is selected individually. The same can be said about the length, but when determining it, it is necessary to take into account not only the individual characteristics and needs of the client, but also the state of his own hairs. The thickness of the fibers is from 0.07 to 0.10 millimeters, but usually a lashmaker combines several options. Thick fibers are used to add brightness to the lashes.
As for the color, it can be both classics (brown and black), and all kinds of color variations.
Execution technique
To make extensions with a "ray" effect, cosmetologists use synthetic fibers, the length of which ranges from 8 to 12 millimeters, depending on the elongation of your own eyelashes. Artificial elongated eyelashes are glued one piece at a time, observing the required interval, as a rule, it is from 2 to 5 pieces. The classic extension scheme implies that one large synthetic hair is glued at a specified interval. To achieve the 2D effect, again, 2 artificial bristles are fixed on each natural hair through a gap, and the 3D effect requires 3 synthetic fibers in the same case.
The radiation method of eyelash extension requires the use of sterile high quality materials. Since the procedure is carried out near the mucous membrane of the eye, the instruments used must be disinfected. In addition to the material itself, you will need to purchase hypoallergenic glue, cotton pads, tissue tape, toothpicks and a special degreaser. For the convenient use of the adhesive, it is also better to prepare a small plastic or glass container.
We must also not forget about the retainer necessary to complete the procedure - accelerating adhesive polymerization and protecting the substance from external influences, as well as about two types of tweezers.
The scheme of eyelash extension "rays" with a detailed description is drawn up individually for each client. Lashmaker takes into account that hairs can grow less often or more often and at different intervals, listens to requests and preferences, after which a scheme is formed that takes into account the gluing of false eyelashes at different intervals and with variations in length. Before starting the procedure, markings are applied directly to the client's eyelids when using a cosmetic marker. The specialist will glue the eyelashes in the direction of these traced "rays".
It all starts with being artificial eyelashes of the required length and bend are placed on white fabric or paper, and the glue is poured into a special container. Tweezers can be pre-treated with a degreaser. After spending make-up removal procedure, it is necessary to treat the eyelashes and eyelids with the same degreaser to ensure better fixation of the artificial fibers. You can also prime them.
The lower eyelids along with the eyelashes are closed with tape moistened cotton pads halves or long-term use silicone or gel patches to protect the sensitive area from adhesives.
Upper the cilia are combed with a special brush and separated with straight tweezers. The curved tweezers are then used to pick up the artificial hair. Synthetic threads are taken one at a time, then dipped into the glue with a blunt edge and attached to the client's own eyelash. It is important not to forget about the alternation of length. During the procedure, a toothpick is useful to press down on the eyelashes while the glue is still wet.
Eyelash extension goes from the outer corner of the eyes to the inner one. When gluing all new villi, you need to make sure that they "look" in one direction and look natural. When the procedure is completed, you should not immediately open your eyes - it is better to wait about 5-10 minutes until the glue dries. At the end of the procedure, the eyelashes are covered with a fixative. The resulting result will remain unchanged for at least 2 weeks, and then correction may be required.
The procedure itself takes from an hour to two, depending on the chosen type of extension and the qualifications of the master.
Despite the fact that separate cilia are used to build up the "rays", a couple of tufts can be placed in the outer corners of the eyes if your own hairs in this place are too sparse or short. During the correction, carried out 10-14 days after the procedure itself, the emerging bald spots are filled. The lower eyelashes must be fixed with special tape or patches, after which the upper bristles must be combed to identify problem areas. New hairs are glued into the voids, and after the glue dries, all the cilia are combed again. At the end of the procedure, patches and tape are removed from the eyelids.
Recommendations
In order for the extended eyelashes to please the client as long as possible, she will have to follow a few basic care guidelines.
- Recommended on the first day exclude any interaction with liquids and steam, including washing your face, washing your hair, going to the bathhouse and swimming pool.
- Next to remove makeup do not use any alcohol-containing products or preparations containing natural oils.
- Throughout the entire period of wearing eyelashes any exposure to the eyes should be avoided, especially rubbing and scratching.
- It is better to limit a visit to the pool or sea bathing., since the chlorine and salt contained in the water can lead to the destruction of the adhesive substance.
- Extended eyelashes do not need to be curled even with regular curling tongs, as this procedure can make the hairs brittle. But here's the daily combing of the cilia with a special brush will only be beneficial.
- If possible, at night, you need to monitor the position of the body, preventing sleep with your face in the pillow.
- If, after removing the artificial cilia, it is found that your own ones are very weakened, it is necessary to take a break from any type of exposure to them and nourish the hairs with complexes with vitamins A and E, as well as castor, peach and burdock oils. Growth enhancing serums are also used as needed.
- Carrying out makeup remover, the soaked cotton pad must be applied to the eyelid, and then wait for the cosmetics to dissolve. It is better to restrict sliding movements, but you can add light vibrating ones. Then you need to wash yourself very quickly so that the water does not have time to dissolve the glue. By the way, oil-containing mascara should also be discarded, although some experts believe that any other one should also be discarded.
- If there is an unpainted effect on the eyes, then it is all the fault of the wrong work of the master, who made a mistake in the selection of the shade and bend. It is better to do eyelash correction with the same master who carried out the initial extension.
- Wet eyelashes should never be wiped off with a towel, especially tough. It would be much more correct to get your eyelids wet with a soft dry cloth.
- Do not apply oily cream on the eyelids.capable of dissolving the adhesive substance.
- If the client needs to remove hair extensions on his own, then it would be wrong to simply pull them out - this is how your own eyelashes will suffer. You can try to simply wet them for a long time, or buy a special remover in the store and follow the instructions.
