Features and technology of eyelash extension

Eyelash extension allows you to achieve the most natural result. This technology has its own characteristics, having studied which the procedure can even be carried out at home.

The eyelash extension technology is a classic procedure that differs from the beam method. For its implementation, artificial hairs of different lengths and thicknesses are suitable, allowing you to increase the volume, add the necessary bend or hide the imperfections of your own cilia. It is customary to distinguish complete, incomplete and volumetric piece-by-piece build-up. Full implies gluing one artificial hair on each of the client's eyelashes. In case of incomplete extension, the material is fixed through 2 or 3 hairs. In a volumetric extension, several artificial ones are attached to each client's eyelash.

One of the main advantages of eyelash extensions is the safety of the method. It is unlikely that the glue gets on the mucous membrane of the eyes, which means that there will be no irritation. The result is quite persistent and natural looking. Artificial hairs do not weigh down their own, and also do not stick together. The eyes look beautiful and natural, and even the loss of 1-2 eyelashes will not spoil the appearance. Eyelashes extended in this way do not cause discomfort with everyday wear. In addition, they look very bright, therefore there is no need to use mascara.

However, the piece-by-piece build-up still has several drawbacks.The procedure is considered quite costly, and you will have to pay not only for the initial build-up, but also for numerous corrections. Since the hairs fall out over time, you still cannot do without visiting the master. For facial skin care, you will have to use only those products that do not contain components that dissolve the glue. While wearing the eyelashes, do not rub your eyes with your hands, and it is forbidden to treat the sensitive area with a moisturizer. The need to sleep in a certain position may also be inconvenient.

For eyelash extension, a set of certain materials is used. Of course, first of all, we are talking about artificial hairs, which are sold either in bulk or in special packages. The thickness of the artificial eyelash is from 0.07 to 0.25 millimeters, and the length does not go beyond 6-16 millimeters. The hair bend can be C-, D- or L-shaped. The most commonly chosen bristles are 7-12 millimeters in length with a C- or D-bend and a thickness of 0.15 or 0.2 millimeters. Piece by piece extension can be done with silk, mink or sable.

The kit must also include a degreaser. Its use allows you to remove grease from natural eyelashes, providing a more reliable fixation with glue and, accordingly, with an artificial bristle. The primer is applied before the extension procedure and allows you to cleanse the eyelashes from dust and oil, as well as sterilize and moisturize. Extension glue can be purchased in different colors and consistencies. In most cases, professionals choose a black sample, leaving a clear substance only to fix the colored cilia.

The straight tweezers help to separate your own hairs, while the curved tweezers handle gripping artificial bristles. Jade stone is used for the ease of use of the glue. The gel pads help fix the lower lashes. A pear makes it possible to dry the glue, and small brushes, called microbrushes, are suitable for treating eyelashes.

As already mentioned, there are 3 main types of eyelash extensions.

Classic, it is also full extension is the most popular technology that allows you to create the effect of your own long eyelashes. Since the bristles do not make the look heavy, they can be used even by owners of small eyes. Classic extension is recommended for your own rare and weak eyelashes. Its essence lies in the fact that one artificial hair is attached to each native hair.

In case of incomplete build-up, a certain interval is maintained between gluing the artificial material. As a result, the look becomes deeper, or an emphasis is created on the outer corners of the eyes.... Incomplete build-up is usually subdivided into rarefied and angular. In the first case, after one artificial villi, there are 1-2, 2-3, 3-5 or 4-6 natural fibers. In the second, an artificial bristle is attached from the center to the outer corner of the eye.

When performing volumetric extensions, 2-3 artificial ones are fixed on each native hair. Its main goal, as you might guess, is to create additional volume. The lashes are thick and effective. Another name for this variety is 2D, 3D or theatrical build-up.

Although eyelash extensions are suitable for almost every girl, in some cases it has a certain specificity. For owners of small eyes, it is better to choose a technology that implies a gradual lengthening of the eyelashes towards the outer corner of the eye. With standard eye size and lash length, either full or volume extensions should be considered. The thickness of the bristles is selected depending on the state of their own. The standard thickness is 0.1-0.15 millimeters, but girls with strong eyelashes can "try on" hairs 0.2 millimeters thick.

The length of the eyelashes is also selected depending on the length of your own. Eyelashes longer than 12 millimeters are more suitable for festive events or photo shoots. As for the color of the eyelashes, this choice depends on the preference of the client. Black eyelash extensions visually enlarge the eye and make it brighter.

Although you can lengthen your eyelashes on your own without involving staff, it is better for beginners to go to the salon or follow the simple instructions step by step... The whole procedure consists of three main stages, which generally take from the master from one and a half to 3 hours. With an independent build-up, it can last even longer. At the preparatory stage, makeup is removed, after which the eyelashes are combed and degreased. A gel pad or silicone patch is fixed over the lower eyelid. At this point, all tools should be prepared for work, and the bristles of the required size have already been selected.

Using tweezers, each hair is dipped into the glue half of the total length with the tip, and then fixed strictly on top of the required eyelash, maintaining an indent from the eyelid equal to 0.1 millimeter. Correctly extend eyelashes, moving from the outer corner of the eye to the inner one, but whether it is the left or right eye - it does not matter. The formation of a row of cilia in one direction can be controlled using the same tweezers. At the final stage, the silicone lining is removed, all cilia are combed and fixed with a special tool.

It is convenient to squeeze the required amount of glue onto a jade stone or any horizontal substrate. The substance must be periodically renewed, since it loses its fixing ability due to exposure to air. It is easiest to separate your own eyelash, on which the bristle will stick, from the total mass with straight tweezers. The curved tweezers will just allow you to glue the hair. By the way, after the cilia are defatted, you can treat them with a primer using microbrushes.

The first 2 hours or even the whole day after eyelash extension should not be exposed to moisture. Further, the list of prohibitions is limited to the inability to rub your eyes with your hands, a damp cloth or hard towel, and also to sleep on your stomach. Using cosmetics, you will have to give up fat-containing products that dissolve the glue. The same applies to the makeup remover milk.

Many experts do not recommend using mascara on extended eyelashes, since the teeth of the brush and the dye base will contribute to the loss of artificial hairs. You will definitely have to give up visiting saunas and baths. The piece-by-piece eyelash extension requires regular correction, as the hairs will fall out anyway.

Lash lash extensions are generally receiving positive reviews. Clients note that such a procedure models the look and eliminates the need to paint every day, which significantly saves time. The transformation takes place quickly, but the result is beyond praise. Nevertheless, this technology still has a number of disadvantages.Someone is scared off by the cost of the procedure, given the need for correction, and someone ruined their own eyelashes by running into a bad master.

With extended eyelashes you cannot calmly rub your eyes, and everyday care has to be adjusted. Surprisingly, there are often responses that the eyes begin to pinch, they get irritated from the glue and turn red. Finally, after just 3 weeks, the eyelashes begin to fall out significantly, which makes the look rather unkempt.
