Description

The use of a perm does not interfere with water procedures, going to a bathhouse or using decorative cosmetics. The painless procedure goes without consequences.
However, some types of curling can negatively affect the condition of the eyelashes, as well as the sensitive skin of the eyelids. With improperly selected funds, burning sensation in the eyes, irritation of the mucous membranes and other allergic reactions occur. In the case when the cilia is wound by a non-professional, hair loss can be expected. Chemicals may lighten the bristles in some clients.
Overview of professional procedures
Correctly performed professional procedures allow you to permanently fix the beautiful curvature of the eyelashes.
Chemical
Perm has recently become more and more popular among the fair sex. The end result lasts for a whole month, or even more. Such twisting can be done every 2-3 months.
Perm is carried out as follows:
- the hairs are degreased using a special tool, after which they are wound on miniature silicone curlers;
- then the cilia are treated with a special chemical glue using an applicator, they are left to soak for about 25 minutes;
- after neutralizing the gel, the result must be “saved” with a special fixative.
The silicone roller itself is a device that can be made in different sizes and selected depending on the length of the cilia and the shape of the planned bend. In general, the procedure takes about 50 minutes. This type of perm is considered safe, and the gel does not irritate the mucous membrane, even if it accidentally gets into the eye. "Chemistry" can be root, curl or complex. Curling does not interfere with further wearing of lenses, going to the sauna and applying decorative cosmetics.
The only limitation is the 3-day tanning ban.
Under permanent curling often refers to the usual chemical, but with different contents of the kit required for the procedure. This implies other formulations of gel and fixative. Otherwise, the procedure is carried out in the same way - the eyelashes are laid out on rollers and covered with gel, and after another 20 minutes they are fixed with a fixative. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to use a special balm.
Biochemical
The biochemical perm differs from the chemical used for the treatment of eyelashes.
The preparations used in "biochemistry" do not contain aggressive components, and therefore can be used for clients with sensitive skin or allergies to the components of perm.
Technologically, everything happens the same, but after the procedure, the client is put forward several restrictions... For the first 3 days, the eyelashes cannot be wetted even when washing, and also cannot be covered with mascara. Moreover, the perm should be protected from high temperatures of both air and water and steam. The result from biowaving lasts about 2 months.
It should also be mentioned that keratin perm... The desired effect is achieved with the help of keratin - a protein that ensures hair growth. First, the bristles are cleaned and degreased with a special composition, after which the eyelids are smeared with a special creamy substance. Next, the cilia are laid out on a roller, covered with a special gel, and then treated with a preparation containing keratin. The result lasts for 3 months.

By using the iron, you can achieve a more noticeable and lasting effect. Another advantage of this method is the ability to twist the bristles already dyed with ink. It is quite simple to use the tool - after warming it up to the required temperature, it is enough to run it along the cilia, forming the desired bend.

You can curl with a spoon without additional use of mascara - just pressing the cutlery to the eyelashes and holding for 10-15 seconds. For a better curling, the pressed spoon should be gently moved over the entire surface of the hairs. If, after curling one eye, the spoon has already cooled down, then it will have to be reheated. To consolidate the effect, the eyelashes are curled with a brush.

A slight bend of the eyelashes can even be given with the help of hands... After warming up your fingers on a radiator or under a stream of hot water, you must bring your index fingers to the growth line of the upper eyelashes. Having placed them on the side of the inner corner of the eye, it is necessary to gently bend the bristles to the upper eyelid and stay in this position for 15-20 seconds. The result is fixed with ordinary ink.
You can carry out such a procedure several times a day, but with the obligatory observance of cleanliness of hands.
Instead of using fingers, it will turn out and cotton swab... Having painted the eyelashes with mascara and without waiting for them to dry, it is required to bend the bristles to the upper eyelid using the tool.
It is important that the stick is placed strictly horizontally and in the indicated position until the cilia are completely dry.
