Classic eyelash extension

Modern technologies and materials make it possible to realize women's dreams of a beautiful appearance. The desire to have long and voluminous eyelashes has also become feasible in recent years. To make them look natural and at the same time spectacular, classic eyelash extensions are used.

Classic extension is the process of increasing the length and thickness of natural eyelashes with the help of artificial ones. The procedure involves sticking one artificial eyelash on one natural eyelash, which visually increases their volume. This method is also called eyelash extension or 1D. Only fluffy eyelashes (small) are not involved in the procedure.

Classic repeats the natural growth of eyelashes. The result is a natural effect, especially if you choose artificial eyelashes of small length. But despite their simplicity, they can look different.

The natural effect of the classic method still gives room for imagination. The main role in this will be played by the length, thickness and bend of artificial eyelashes.For example, using longer options on the outer corners of the eyes, you can add mystery and depth to the look. The thicker the hairs, the brighter the look.

A slight bend gives completeness, and a medium one - openness, expressiveness. A strong curve makes the look amazed. In addition, you can experiment with color. However, the classic build-up can not cope with all the tasks, giving way to the voluminous one.

If by nature the eyelashes have an average density and you want to make them more fluffy, then you should not resort to the classic method. It will not help fill the gaps between the eyelashes. Fluffy eyelashes are the prerogative of volume extension. It is thanks to him that you can create the most vivid images. The effect is formed by gluing two or more artificial eyelashes with one natural one.

One of the brightest examples of correction is close and far set eyes. In the first case, the eyes are set close. When building, cilia of different lengths are used. The length increases as you approach the outer corners of the eyes, visually increasing the distance between the eyes.

With wide-set eyes, the reverse procedure is performed. Eyelashes on the inner corners of the eyes should be bright and of noticeable length. Thus, the emphasis is placed on the bridge of the nose, which significantly reduces the distance between the eyes.

• Length. This is the distance from the base to the tip of the hair. It varies from 4 mm to 21 mm. Depending on the length, they can be: short - up to 8 mm, medium - 9-12 mm, long - 13-14 mm, very long - over 15 mm.

• Thickness. This characteristic is determined at the base of the hair and can vary from 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm. For classic extensions, thicker hairs are chosen - from 0.15 mm. But if natural eyelashes are thin and weakened, then you need to choose thin ones so as not to create an extra load on them.

• bend. This is the degree of eyelash curl obtained by thermal means. Each degree has a letter designation. J (A) is a slight bend, similar to the curve of natural eyelashes. The length with such a bend is short. B - slightly exceeds bend J, being also natural. C is the middle a more noticeable curve. It is most often used during the described procedure. D - strong bend. Allows you to visually enlarge the eyes. L - eyelashes with this designation have a bend at the end, at the base they are straight.

• Color. The main colors of eyelash extensions are black and dark brown. The rest of the colors are optional and can be anything. There are eyelashes that combine several colors at once. They are used to decorate or create bright images.

Not only the right form is decisive, but also the quality.The highest quality materials belong to the premium class. Such eyelashes are not deformed during wear, they are easy to work with. Among the luxury materials manufacturing firms are:

• Dolce vit. The products of this South Korean company are the best on the market. They produce eyelashes in various shapes and colors. They are easy to work with for both professionals and beginners. The range includes all the necessary materials to perform eyelash extensions.

• Iris Professional. Another popular brand whose products are of high quality and variety in the choice of materials. The eyelashes of this manufacturer are strong and weightless. The color palette allows you to experiment and achieve the most impressive results.

• Macy. A distinctive feature of this manufacturer is the release of products that do not cause allergic reactions. Customers for whom this problem is most relevant should pay attention to the products of this particular brand. In addition, in terms of quality, a number of products of this company significantly outperforms competitors.

In addition to general characteristics, eyelashes are usually distinguished by materials. All are made from monofilament. But for the convenience of work, lash makers divided all eyelashes into groups according to the totality of characteristics. Each group has the name of either an animal whose fur it resembles, or a similar material. As a result, the client is offered an option that is better to use.

There are four types of materials in total, each of which produces its own unique effects:

• Sable. This group includes the thickest hairs that are not intended for everyday wear.The purpose of building are solemn occasions when a more pronounced effect is needed. Sable eyelashes do not last long, they put a lot of stress on natural eyelashes. After 2-3 days, it is desirable to remove them with a special tool.
• Silk. Silk eyelashes are of medium thickness. They are universal because they are suitable for different types of natural eyelashes. Silk eyelashes are presented in various colors, so they can be used for everyday wear and special occasions.
• Mink. This group includes the thinnest and lightest eyelashes. This option is worth choosing if natural eyelashes are thin and weakened. They are the closest to natural, so they look natural.
• Silicone. These lashes are resilient. They are very comfortable to wear, because they keep their shape perfectly, without wrinkling or wrinkling. They are produced in various diameters and lengths. Another feature that they have is a beautiful shine.

The extension procedure with any of these materials is carried out identically. In order for the result to be kept for the entire promised period, each step must be taken responsibly.

The extension procedure consists of several stages:

• The choice of material. Lashmaker takes into account the features of the client's appearance, the thickness and length of natural eyelashes. All this affects the choice of material. For example, the length of extended eyelashes can exceed the length of natural ones by no more than 2 mm.
• Fixation of the lower eyelashes. In order to prevent the upper and lower cilia from sticking together upon contact, the bottom row is isolated. To do this, use a gel, silicone or callogen substrate. It is glued over the lower eyelashes from the inner to the outer corner of the eyes.
• Treatment of the upper row of eyelashes. This step is especially necessary if the client's skin is oily. Particles of fat will not allow extended eyelashes to stay for a long time. The upper cilia and the area around the eyes are wiped with a degreaser or micellar water.
• Preparation of materials for work. All the necessary materials should be conveniently located at the hand of the master. This greatly affects the quality and speed of work. Nearby should be a palette with eyelashes and a testicle with a drop of glue applied. Two tweezers are placed in the hands: straight and curved.
• Eyelash extension. With straight tweezers, the eyelash row is moved apart, and with curved tweezers, actions are performed with an artificial eyelash. It must be captured, dipped in glue, removed excess and brought to the natural, access to which provides direct tweezers. An artificial eyelash must be drawn along the natural one in order to be smeared with glue and attached to it. It is important to observe the indentation from the skin of the eyelid by no more than 1 mm. The minimum distance to the eyelid is 0.5 mm.

The bonding area should reach the middle of the natural eyelash. Further actions involve the use of various techniques. There are two extension techniques: “cascade” and “book”. In the first case, the extension takes place alternately on each subsequent eyelash, gradually moving along the row. The gluing scheme with the “book” technique involves working on the eyelash, first in one corner of the eye, then in the opposite, alternately.

Each master has his own most time-consuming area of ​​the eyelash line. It is more difficult for some to work in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe inner corner of the eyes, for others - the outer one. It takes more effort to work in this zone, so you can not leave it at the end of the procedure.At this time, fatigue increases, eyes get tired, work becomes more difficult.

On the other hand, with cascading extensions, there may be cases of gluing nearby eyelashes. The ideal option to avoid these troubles is the "book" technique. For eyelash extensions, it is especially convenient to use.

After completing work on all the eyelashes, you need to comb them with a special brush and remove the backing. The brush should be an individual accessory for each client, so it is better to give it as a gift for eyelash care in the future. After the procedure, you need to tell the client about the rules of care.

The duration of the procedure depends on the thickness of the eyelashes and the experience of the lash maker. On average, it takes 1.5-2.5 hours. Less time will indicate that the work will be done poorly.

The duration of wearing eyelashes for everyone is individual. On average, they last about a month. For some, the period is 1.5-2 months. It all depends on the frequency of changing your own eyelashes and the quality of the work.

The period of growth of a natural eyelash is several months, after which it falls out. It is replaced by a new one. This also affects the wear time. 3 weeks after the extension, a correction is made.

With a properly performed build-up by an experienced specialist, there should be no negative consequences of building-up. If the technology was violated, then the consequences may be the following:

• Allergic reaction. The extension procedure in the cabin always involves the use of special high quality glue.If it is applied in compliance with the necessary indentation, without contact with the skin of the eyelid, you should not be afraid of an allergic reaction. However, individual intolerance cannot be ruled out. The use of cheap analogs or glue that is not intended for this procedure can cause inflammation and swelling.

• Fracture of natural hairs. The reason for this is the unprofessionalism of the lashmaker. Among the mistakes may be gluing natural eyelashes together or incorrectly selected sizes. The client himself may be guilty of this if he decides to remove the eyelashes on his own. In addition, non-compliance with the rules for caring for them can lead to a break.

• Premature exfoliation. There can be several reasons for flaking. One of them is poor-quality eyelash processing or its absence before the extension procedure. The second reason may be improper bonding. The client's oily skin or the use of oil-containing facial products can prevent the long-term effect of building.

Despite the list of negative points, it is worth considering separately what opportunities a correctly performed procedure provides. These secrets are used by the lash maker so that the result for the client is as positive as possible.

Resorting to any procedure, a woman wants to look as beautiful as possible. Ideal appearance suggests a horizontal line of eye position. The shape of the eyes is almond-shaped.

The task of the lash maker is to bring the appearance closer to the ideal, without exacerbating the shortcomings. In addition to the above example of placing the eyes relative to the bridge of the nose, there is a large list of other tricks. Here are just a few of them:

1. You can visually correct the depth of planting of the eyes with the help of color. In this case, light and dark lashes alternate, and solid black should be avoided.
2. If the eyes are round the fox form of extension will help to stretch them, when the length of the eyelashes increases towards the outer corners of the eyes. And vice versa, if it is necessary to round the eyes, then the accent is set in the middle part of the eyelid.
3. If the outer corners of the eyes are lowered, you need to choose eyelashes with a strong bend. If raised - with a little.

But no matter what advantages the procedure gives, it is necessary to evaluate all the pros and cons.

Extension has both positive and negative sides. Some of the positives include:

• Attractive appearance. Beautiful eyelashes create a playful look, allow its owner to feel beautiful and self-confident. They attract the attention of others, not allowing a woman to remain invisible.
• Face correction. Sometimes correctly extended eyelashes will allow you to avoid even the help of a plastic surgeon. For example, in the case of hanging eyelids.
• No need for cosmetics. Eyelashes allow you to stay bright without the use of any cosmetics. This is especially true when there is a lack of time and when traveling.
• Water procedures without problems. You can safely swim in the sea, visit the sauna, swimming pool or water park. Excitement for makeup does not overshadow the rest. In such cases, you can not use cosmetics at all and remain beautiful.

But there are also negative points in building. Among them:

• The risk of getting to a bad master. This is the problem that will entail all subsequent ones. Therefore, it is very important to treat the search for an experienced specialist as responsibly as possible.
• The likelihood of an allergy. Even with a small probability, this point should be taken into account, since harm will be done to an important human organ.
• Constant control over your actions. This item is especially relevant for those who have done extensions for the first time. You must always remember that you can not rub your eyes and sleep with your face in the pillow.
• The need for correction. In order for eyelashes to always look aesthetically pleasing, you need to contact a specialist in a timely manner for their correction. This requires additional cash costs.

With all the nuances, it is not difficult to imagine that the procedure can cause completely different attitudes of clients towards themselves. Which is reflected in their feedback.

Negative reviews are mainly related to the consequences of violating the extension technology. At the same time, clients note the gluing of eyelashes, their ugly appearance and a short-term effect. There are cases of an allergic reaction, a feeling of tingling in the eyes. However, most of the reviews are positive. The main advantages for them were the transformed appearance and the ability not to use mascara.
