Thus, it will be possible to significantly save money, but you need to take into account some of the disadvantages of self-"twisting" the hairs... For example, it will take more time, and without experience and dexterity, rarely anyone succeeds in achieving the desired result the first time. Most often, in such situations, the cilia, after the manipulations performed, look unnatural or look sloppy.

It is important that all hairs "lie" evenly and do not come into contact with each other.

Compliance with the prescribed requirements and rules will contribute to the long-term preservation of the bending of the hairs. There are some restrictions in the first 24 hours after curling. Eyelashes should not be rubbed, wetted, painted. It is recommended during this period, in general, not to touch the eyes. It is best to refuse to visit baths, saunas and other places with high temperatures and humidity for a few days.

After biowaving, proper care is very important. For active restoration of eyelashes, you need to treat them daily with vitamin nutrients. For these purposes, various natural oils are suitable - castor, peach seed, wheat germ extract and others. Such compositions intensively nourish the hairs, make them stronger and contribute to the creation of a protective shell in relation to various negative environmental factors.
For care, it is recommended to use specialized store products.

How long does the result last?
The effect of curled eyelashes after curling in different people lasts uneven time... Several factors affect how much the result will please. These include the structure and stiffness of the hairs, as well as their rate of renewal. Most often, the cilia remain curved for 4-6 weeks. In isolated cases, it lasts up to 3 months.
In any case, you need to take into account that eyelashes are constantly updated - the old ones fall out, and new ones appear in their place. This is a natural process that cannot be slowed down or accelerated. The rate of hair renewal is individual. When curled eyelashes fall out, they will be replaced by straight ones. Over time, some of the hairs will remain curled, and some will be straight. This will make your eyelashes look messy.
To rectify the situation, a correction will be required, in which the twisting is performed anew. As a rule, it is used 1-1.5 months after biowave.

Although biowaving eyelashes is considered a gentle procedure, it can subsequently negatively affect the appearance of the hairs. To prevent this from happening you should not resort to the procedure too often... Experienced cosmetologists advise to curl eyelashes no more than 3 times in a row, and then give them a "rest". During this period, it is important to apply fortified formulations to the hairs. After 2-3 months, you can curl your eyelashes again.
