Eyelash lamination

Eyes are a reflection of the soul, and along with how we try to make our inner world beautiful, we pay the same attention to the attractive appearance of the eyes. In order to look 100% every day, women resort to cosmetics, use mascara and many other products. However, mascara does not always achieve the desired effect. Especially when natural eyelashes are thin or weak. In such a situation, only extension or lamination can help.

Previously, the lamination procedure was used exclusively for hair. This allowed them to be smooth, shiny and strong, creating an attractive appearance. Over time, it began to be used for eyelashes, upper and lower, as well as for eyebrows. After all, in fact it is the same hair, only having a smaller size. It is carried out using formulations containing keratin. This protein has high strength and is one of the components of our skin and hair. Of the means used, it is able to penetrate the hairs, making them more voluminous, long and strong.

Keratin proteins make eyelashes healthier and stronger, and have a positive effect on the skin of the eyelids. Problems such as brittle and falling hair are eliminated almost completely. In this case, immediately after the procedure, you can evaluate the increase in the volume and length of the eyelashes by more than 30%. They acquire an attractive curve, which is maintained without the use of a perm by a chemical method or tongs.

The beauty of lamination is that eyelashes acquire an expressive and attractive appearance without harm to their health. Compared to extensions, the result looks very natural. There is no need to resort to daily use of mascara. This is especially true for those who prefer naturalness or do not want to use a large amount of cosmetics in the hot summer period.

Eyelash lamination compares favorably with other methods of improving their appearance. Consider the main advantages of this cosmetic effect.

• Lamination gives volume and length to even thin and naturally invisible cilia. The effect is somewhat similar to extensions, but has a greater naturalness.
• After using keratin products, eyelashes become beautifully curved, even if they could not boast of it. At the same time, you can wash your face without fear and sleep in your favorite positions without fear that they will wrinkle or fall off.
• Hair acquires a healthy and natural shine.
• The composition during the application process enters both the hair and the skin. It has a positive effect on the epidermis, including the hair follicles, accelerating their growth.
• Eyelashes heal, their structure becomes stronger and more elastic.
• The look becomes expressive, as if using cosmetics.

Such a number of positive aspects, of course, attracts women to use this technique. However, like any cosmetic effect, lamination has certain disadvantages.

• If your eyelashes naturally have an attractive appearance, good length, density and expressive color, the result of the procedure will be practically invisible.
• Against the technique, many put forward the fact of a rather high cost of a session in the salon.
• If the procedure is carried out incorrectly or the composition is of poor quality, the hairs may be harmed, and natural data may be deteriorated. Unsuccessful lamination is usually the result of self-application of products or contacting an inexperienced master.

To minimize the chance of an unsuccessful result, you should be very careful when choosing a master. You should not trust the one who offers the lowest price, this can often raise doubts about qualifications. As for the price, many believe that it is not so high (compared to building). At the same time, after lamination, you can forget about mascara for up to two months, which saves both money and time.

When deciding whether or not to resort to eyelash lamination, some contraindications of doctors and specialists should be taken into account.

• The main contraindication is a recent surgical intervention, including correcting any function of the eye.
• Do not use the method at a time when there is any disease of the mucous membrane or shortly after inflammation or conjunctivitis.
• On short eyelashes, cosmetologists do not advise using the method, as it is possible to curl them too tightly and incorrectly.
• If you are prone to allergic reactions, you should definitely ask the master about the composition of the product used. In the presence of individual intolerance, you must either find another product or refuse to carry out the procedure.
• Pregnancy and lactation are often a contraindication to lamination. But it's not all that simple. The use of decorative cosmetics when carrying a child does not have a positive effect on his health. The advantage of lamination is that it will allow you to avoid the daily use of mascara. The composition of the products does not harm the health of the mother and fetus, as it contains keratin, vitamins, oil complexes and other useful components. Therefore, in the absence of allergies, useful components will not affect badly during pregnancy.

However, pregnant women should be wary of this procedure. Due to hormonal changes in the body, especially in the first trimester, the result from it can be unpredictable, for example, the composition may lie unevenly.

To make the look deep, and the eyelashes voluminous and elongated, you can resort to lamination or extension. To choose between these methods consciously, you need to understand their pros and cons.

Lamination looks more natural. When building, you can achieve a dizzying effect with the attachment of a different number of hairs.By correctly combining their color, bend and length, you can correct the shape of the eye, bringing it closer to the ideal. You can also build up villi of a special color or shape especially for a solemn event. Lamination does not provide such a choice of colors, sizes and shapes.

On the other hand, the use of keratin compounds provides an improvement in the structure of the hairs, heals and improves their growth. The extension is distinguished by the use of a not very favorable chemical composition of the glue and does not positively affect natural vegetation in any way.

Both effects can be harmful if the technology is not followed and low-quality products are used. Therefore, it is recommended to build up and laminate eyelashes only in proven salons with experienced qualified specialists.

The duration of the effect of the methods is approximately the same. But with eyelash extensions, you need to be very careful, do not touch them once again, you need to sleep in certain positions so that they do not wrinkle. Laminated ones do not require such careful care and caution.

At the same time, the lamination process is much simpler and faster than extensions. After all, the master does not need to pay attention to each hair, carefully gluing artificial hair to it.

The use of Botox for eyelashes allows you to restore their structure after aggressive exposure. He is able to cope with the negative consequences of the constant use of cosmetics, including professional, as well as perms. Botox heals the hairs, filling their structure, making them more voluminous, giving visual fluffiness.

During exposure to Botox, the hair is open, which allows the coloring pigments in the composition to penetrate deeply. After that, you can not be afraid of water, cleansers, milk and other cosmetics. When using keratin, staining occurs only at the level of scales. Therefore, the composition is washed out faster and has less caring effect.

Positive aspects of Botox procedure:

• saturates the hair with moisturizing hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids, while lamination creates a film on their surface;
• painlessly improves their structure;
• immediately after the session, you can notice an increase in the thickness of the hair, it becomes softer and more elastic, but at the same time keeps its shape.
• serum is introduced into the composition to stimulate growth, because of it, after a while, the eyelashes begin to grow much more actively, become noticeably thicker.

Girls who choose the lamination procedure are interested in how long the effect of it lasts and how often it needs to be repeated.

It all depends on the lifetime of the hair. Usually eyelashes grow and live for about two weeks. After that, they begin to fall out, and new ones take their place. Keratin during this time remains on the hairs, allowing them to look beautiful throughout their lives.

With the help of the use of a keratin composition, it allows you to extend the life of eyelashes by about three weeks. During this time, new hairs begin to grow from other follicles, significantly increasing the density.After some time, the elements that have undergone lamination still begin to fall out, being replaced by new ones, and it is then that a repetition of the session is required.

On average, you can enjoy beautiful and well-groomed eyelashes within one or one and a half months. After this period, it will be necessary to come to the master for correction.

Keratin is a durable protein present in the structure of our hair, nails, skin and teeth. In cosmetology, this substance is used very actively for healing and giving an attractive appearance to the hair and dermis. Keratin is the main component of eyelash lamination. Often, its ingredients include other useful substances: vegetable oils and extracts, wheat protein in dissolved form, vitamin complexes. All of them allow you to nourish and restore hairs, improving their growth.

In the conditions of the salon, the session is performed by a cosmetologist in five stages, at which time various compositions are applied to the hairs and kept for a certain time.

Usually the process is painless and does not cause discomfort. But many ladies who used it paid attention to burning and lacrimation during the application of drugs.

• At the beginning of the process, the master lays the eyelashes of the upper eyelid on a silicone roller, the configuration of which determines the final bending of the hairs. You can choose a larger or smaller perm. Thanks to this function, cosmetologists call lamination biolifting, because as a result, the hairs rise right at the base.
• Then the application of compositions containing keratin begins. This happens in five stages. Each of the drugs should be on the hairs for a certain time. The last product applied is an oil-based preparation that nourishes and envelops the hair shaft.

The process can take up to an hour or an hour and a half. It depends on the skill of the master. But in any case, it is much faster and easier than extensions or biowaves. A day after lamination, you need to refrain from contact of the eyelids with water, including during washing. Then you can wash your face and use cosmetics, only the use of a sponge is excluded. With proper care and correctly carried out lamination, the effect will last for a period of one to two months.

To get the best result, you need to take into account several important aspects.

• The choice of a master must be approached very seriously and carefully. Take an interest in the qualifications of a specialist, and if possible, look at reviews of his work.
• The procedure for applying keratin compositions, subject to technology and the use of high-quality preparations, does not harm the hairs. However, you should not treat her as a caregiver.Botox is more suitable for care, and lamination is more likely to make eyelashes more expressive and well-groomed.
• No need to choose the master or salon with the lowest price. High cost is also not always a guarantee of quality, but with unskilled work, eyelashes can be strongly bent, which will lead to problems with their growth.
• The composition of the preparations must be of high quality, not cause irritation or allergies.
• Do not plan to build up soon after lamination or vice versa, the effect can be unpredictable.
• The type of eyelashes after exposure to keratin depends on natural data. If they have never been particularly expressive and voluminous, you should not expect an incredible transformation. And on natural fluffy and dark hairs, the result can simply not be noticed.

Lamination of eyelashes is a procedure carried out in a salon. It requires skill and some training. Therefore, experts do not recommend doing it yourself. But if you first get trained by specialists, it is quite possible to do it at home.

To properly implement it, you need to follow these steps step by step. Stages cannot be swapped or skipped.

• From the face, you need to remove the remnants of cosmetics and products of the action of the skin glands. It is preferable to use a degreasing lotion to complete this step.
• On the skin of the eyelids, you need to apply a protective cream designed for this area.
• Use a roller to create the desired bend.If you don’t have a special silicone tool, you can use other improvised means that can fix the hairs.
• To begin with, a special strengthening preparation is applied to the eyelashes and kept for the time specified in the instructions.
• And then apply keratin-containing preparations also in accordance with the instructions. You need to process each hair to achieve the desired effect.

The whole process will take about an hour depending on experience and skills. Preparations can be purchased in specialized stores or on professional sites. Be sure to check the composition of the funds before use and carefully read the instructions.

And most importantly - keep in mind that in order to use keratin compounds at home, it is imperative to undergo training and consolidate the acquired skills. Otherwise, you can not improve, but worsen the appearance of your eyes and cause serious harm not only to the hairs, but also to your health.

During the first days after the lamination session, the eyelashes look like wet ones, because at the end they are lubricated with an oil composition that nourishes and fixes the result. On the first day, they need to be protected from water and any impact, you can’t rub your eyes, it’s better to sleep on your back or gently on your side so as not to touch the hairs. Then all these restrictions are removed, except that now you have to take care of your eyes without using a cosmetic sponge.

Lamination has many advantages, including convenience after the session:

• eyelashes can be covered with mascara;
• eye cream approved for use;
• there are no restrictions on the use of cosmetics for washing and care;
• lenses for vision correction are not contraindicated;
• you can go to the sauna, bath or pool;
• it is not forbidden to travel to hot countries and swim in salt water;
• You can sleep in a comfortable position, including on your stomach.

For lovers of a natural look and no make-up, a significant positive side is that for several months after the procedure it is not necessary to paint the eyes. But if necessary, you can fearlessly use mascara and other cosmetics.

It's also nice that after passing a session of using keratin, you do not need to resort to correction monthly. Moreover, experts do not recommend doing the procedure more than a couple of times a year.

Keratin applied to the hairs is an excellent protection against the harmful effects of sunlight, cold and wind, harmful substances contained in the air.

Special care for laminated hairs is not required. However, in order to maximize the life of the keratin coating, you should not use mascara, as well as greasy and alcohol-containing make-up remover products.

Eyelash lamination reviews can be divided into positive and negative. Most women who have resorted to the procedure see a pronounced effect and a striking difference in the form of eyelashes before and after the session. They become brighter, thicker and longer. The effect is similar to the use of mascara or natural extensions, the cilia are separated and emphasized. There is no need to use mascara every day, the look becomes expressive.

Compared to extensions, the hairs look much more natural. In addition, they do not require special care and restrictions. You can use any care products and even sleep on your stomach without fear of ruining the look of your eyes.There is no feeling of heaviness, which gives a lot of inconvenience to those who have resorted to artificial hair extensions.

Ladies agree that the procedure should be done only by experienced qualified craftsmen. The right master and the choice of preparations will give beauty to the look, and length and bend to the eyelashes. Improper procedure can adversely affect the appearance and health of the hairs. For example, the craftsman may hold the compositions for the wrong amount of time. Or bend the cilia too much at the base. Ladies note that after such work, quite unpleasant sensations last for a long time, because the eyelashes literally cut into the eyelid. Therefore, saving on the salon and the master is by no means worth it.

Despite the fact that the keratin technique is positioned as painless, many users experience burning and tearing during the process. And also note the unpleasant smell of drugs.

You need to understand that the result will directly depend on the natural data of the client. If your own eyelashes are short and sparse, no master can achieve a dizzying effect. On thick and naturally dark hairs, there will most likely not be any special changes either.

For brittle and thin eyelashes, users advise the procedure Protein Twist. And to improve natural data and obtain the effect of staining and bending, it is better suited sexy lumen.

Users did not agree on the number of procedures per year and correction. Some say that it is necessary to repeat it at least once a month to achieve a spectacular look, referring to the accumulation of positive substances in the process. However, experts recommend not going to sessions more than twice a year. This is confirmed by some reviews.Ladies received a wonderful effect from lamination, but after the cessation of constant use, they received exhaustion and brittle hairs. Even the effect of curling their tips and growth retardation was observed.

The reviews agree that when deciding to resort to lamination, you need to carefully choose the master and the salon in order to get the desired result. You should not treat the procedure as a wellness one. It is more of an appearance-oriented method, for example, you can apply it in the summer to avoid the constant use of mascara in hot weather. Keratin will additionally protect the hairs from the action of the sun. But he will not be able to especially nourish and improve them.
