Eyelash extension correction
Beautiful eyes, as well as long and thick eyelashes, attract the eye. A young lady with lush eyelashes is able to bewitch an interlocutor. Therefore, many girls whom mother nature did not reward with such beauty turn to a beauty salon in order to build up artificial hairs. This procedure is gaining popularity every year and is in great demand not only among representatives of show business, but also among ordinary girls.
Unfortunately, such beauty is not eternal, and therefore, over time, you need to visit the master again in order to correct the extended eyelashes. Such manipulation allows the fair sex to enjoy luxurious eyelashes longer, and it costs much less than a complete renewal of the eyelash line.
Let's take a closer look at such a procedure and figure out what its features are and after what period of time it needs to be carried out.
What is it and when is it needed?
Correction is the process of restoring the original appearance of eyelash extensions, during which new hairs are glued to the place of fallen or damaged elements.
This procedure allows you to wear artificial eyelashes for a long time without replacing them completely.
Key benefits of eyelash extensions include:
- time saving - on average, the process takes about 40 minutes;
- saving money - such a procedure costs almost two times cheaper than a new extension.
By the time of the first correction, the girls have approximately half or a little more of the extended eyelashes. Artificial elements by this time either had already fallen out, or had lost their original appearance. Therefore, girls turn to a beauty salon approximately 2-3 weeks after extension, it all depends on the growth rate of hairs and respect for them.
Factors affecting the frequency of the procedure
Eyelash extensions are very fragile, so they require careful handling. There are many different factors that reduce the life of an artificial appearance attribute and lead to frequent correction.
Among the main reasons are the following:
- While sleeping, bury your face in the pillow. After the extension procedure, you need to monitor your position in a dream, try to sleep on your side or on your back, but in no case on your stomach. Wrong posture can cause all eyelash extensions to fall off in the morning.
- Use of oil-based make-up, the use of makeup removers, which include alcohol, the application of a cream that has a greasy texture - all these procedures negatively affect artificial hairs. Cosmetic preparations containing alcohol or oils corrode the adhesive, causing artificial eyelashes to fall off.
- Visits to the sauna or bath. High temperature conditions and the presence of steam also make the adhesive plastic. Therefore, when visiting such an institution, there is a risk that artificial elements can “float” or “slide”.In addition to everything, the hair extensions can straighten out, violating the aesthetic appearance.
- Careless attitude with the eyelash line. Elements do not like any mechanical action, for example, you do not need to rub your eyes. If you have an itchy eye, you need to scratch it very carefully, without touching the artificial hairs.
- Trips to the pool. Chlorinated water has a negative effect on the state of the glue, splitting it. Therefore, going to the pool, get special goggles for swimming.
- Water and hygiene procedures - A strong jet of water in the face can break the eyelash extensions. You need to wash your face and wash your hair carefully, without directing the shower into your face.
- Carrying out extensions with gross errors and the incompetence of the master. The process of lengthening eyelashes is a painstaking and time-consuming task that requires experience and skill from a specialist. If the procedure was done by a beginner, then there is a high probability that the eyelashes will fall out very quickly and will soon have to be corrected.
Varieties
When you see that almost half of the eyelashes have fallen out or have acquired a not quite aesthetic appearance, you need to contact a beauty salon for correction.
Before contacting the master, consider what effect you are trying to achieve. The length, density and bending of artificial elements will depend on your desires.
Depending on different preferences, there are several types of correction of extended eyelashes:
- American - the size of natural and artificial hairs is the same, they differ only in length.
- Japanese - in the process of building, mink hairs are used, which are glued very densely.
- Hollywood - eyelashes are attached not individually, but in small bunches. They can be placed either along the entire length of the eyelid, or only in the outer corners of the eyes.
Regardless of which type of correction you choose, after this procedure, you should not experience discomfort or discomfort.
How is it done?
It is better to carry out the correction of eyelash extensions with a professional lashmaker (eyelash extension specialist). Turning to an incompetent specialist in an attempt to save money can lead to the fact that your own eyelashes will be damaged and they will have to be restored for a long time.
The correction process is quite complicated, it will require the master to have skills, skills and experience, as well as certain knowledge on how to properly perform an operation to replace artificial hairs.
The step-by-step procedure for adjusting hair extensions is as follows:
- Using a special brush, the lashmaker combs the eyelashes. He will determine which hairs are still strong and which will soon fall off. Hairs that have lost their original appearance and are out of order are also subject to removal.
- Eyelashes that will be subject to the correction procedure will be treated by a specialist with a special tool - a remover, which is designed to dissolve the glue and allow you to remove the artificial element without harming natural eyelashes.
- Next, the unsuitable hairs are removed, for these purposes the master will use tweezers.
- After that, natural eyelashes, on which artificial components will be glued, are degreased and new eyelashes are attached.
The lashmaker must do his work carefully and slowly, adhering to certain rules:
- In no case should artificial hairs be glued to the eyelid, you need to step back 1 millimeter from the edge.
- It is not allowed to glue artificial elements to fluffy hairs, as they are small and weak and will not be able to withstand the weight of eyelash extensions. It is better to build on already grown cilia.
- You can not attach one element to several live eyelashes, since in the process of falling out several eyelashes will immediately fall out at the same time. In addition, you will feel discomfort from such a correction.
Pay attention to the sterility of the instruments and the conditions in which the correction takes place. This is a very important requirement that will protect you from infection and bacteria.

Recurrence frequency
Many girls, going to a beauty salon for the correction of eyelash extensions, wonder how often this procedure should be carried out and how long the effect of its implementation will last.
After the first correction, the hairs have a different regrowth period. With an interval of 3-4 weeks, you will again have to turn to a lashmaker for another correction.
You should not start the state of your hairs, and as soon as they have lost their aesthetic appearance, you need to repeat the process. This way you won't harm your own lashes.
