Eyelash extension

Every girl dreams that after each wave of her eyelashes admiring male glances would fly. But if you are not the owner of black-burning fan-shaped eyelashes, do not worry! Today, all Hollywood red carpets and magazine covers are full of celebrities who have chic makeup and doll-like eyelashes. The secret of celebrity is quite simple. They resort to a procedure called eyelash extension.

A few decades ago, fashionistas did not know what eyelash extensions were. Then came the primitive extension method. Eyelashes for this were sold in bunches. They stood out noticeably before the eyes and were short-lived. Only professional craftsmen were able to properly build eyelashes. It was almost impossible for me to do this on my own.

In 2006, eyelash extensions replaced beam extensions. The extension technology was only slightly different from the beam, but the effect was more stunning.

Advantages of the technique:

• Saving time spent daily on eyelash care (in the morning for applying mascara, in the evening for rinsing) to get the desired effect;

• There is no need to buy mascara, so you can save a lot on cosmetics;

• There will be no unnecessary worries about the fact that mascara can leak or crumble at any time;

• It will help to get rid of the feeling of self-doubt, to avoid lack of demand among men;

• With the help of extensions, you can visually change the shape of the eyes;

• You can avoid manifestations of allergic reactions to cosmetics;

• Eyelash extensions do not need to be “twisted”, since it is possible to pre-select the desired bend.
• You will feel comfortable in any situation and environment: at work, at home and on vacation.

According to the Japanese technique, which is eyelash extension, one or more artificial ones are attached to each of its cilia. As a result of the natural process, there is a constant loss of native eyelashes and the growth of new ones in their place. The life span of each eyelash is about 90 days. During the day, only 1-3 eyelashes fall out. Since the extended eyelashes are attached to the native ones, they will fall off along with them when the life cycle of each of them ends. This is absolutely normal. Do not worry that natural eyelashes have deteriorated during the extension process or the procedure was carried out incorrectly.

If the wear period is 20 or more days, then it is better to make a new extension.

Non-allergenic products are used as materials for eyelash extensions. The naturalness and elasticity of eyelashes is provided by silicone, which is part of the fibers. Eyelash color is modified from traditional black to the most extraordinary and extravagant, for example, red, purple or even green. Only colorless glue is used. It hides the place of adhesion and is not visible on colored eyelashes. The technique of building with silk or mink is more complex.

Eyelash extensions are not allowed:

• Persons with allergic reactions or individual intolerance to the components involved in the process;
• Suffering from frequent conjunctivitis and other eye diseases.

Nuances:

• During the restructuring of the hormonal background (for example, during pregnancy, lactation, menstruation, with diseases of the thyroid gland), eyelashes can crumble after a few days. Although this happens infrequently;
• Too oily skin of the eyelids leads to a reduction in the period of wearing eyelashes;
• There are restrictions for girls with weak (thin or brittle) natural eyelashes that are unable to withstand additional weight. To begin with, experts advise to strengthen them with special means.

The extension does not cause any inconvenience and discomfort either during the process itself or after its completion. The materials used are not allergenic, therefore they do not cause side reactions, redness, irritation, swelling.

After the procedure, it is prohibited:

1. Wet eyelashes for 24 hours;
2. Expose the eyes to mechanical stress (for example, rub);
3. Twist the hairs with tongs;
4. Use creams, products with a greasy oily consistency, as they are able to dissolve the resin that is part of the adhesive. And you need to wash your face with water-based gel products and do not rub your eyelashes;
5. Paint with waterproof mascara.
6. Lie face down on a pillow, otherwise the eyelashes may peel off after extension.
7. Do facials with steam baths or go to the sauna for the first few days.This can significantly shorten the wearing time and straighten the curl of the eyelashes.
8. Contact with salt or chlorinated water.
9. Remove unnatural eyelashes on your own. Most often, these actions lead to damage to their own. If any one eyelash interferes, then it is better to trim it carefully.

Today, extended eyelashes are a salvation for lazy or too busy beauties. But few people know what dangers lie in wait for the girls after that.

Eyelash extensions are the gluing of special artificial eyelashes to the base of the eyelids. Such beauty sessions are best done by specialists and only in salons and offices equipped for this.
