Long eyelashes

Long eyelashes are the dream of many modern women. What the fair sex does not go to in order to make their eyes attractive.

The hairs located along the edge of the eyelids are called eyelashes. Their main function is protective. Long and rather stiff hairs protect the eyes from dust, dirt and other foreign bodies. On the upper eyelid of a person, there are usually from 150 to 250 hairs, on the lower - 50-100 less.

The structure of eyelashes (from nature) is inherited from parents, it is almost impossible to change their structure. Remember how long and curved eyelashes are in grown-up kids and teenage girls who have not yet had time to spoil the hairs with low-grade cosmetics. To make eyelashes thick and long, curved and dark, daily care and a few tricks will help.

Eyelashes have their own life cycle: one hair "lives" from 28 to 150 days. Usually people do not notice the renewal of the hairline, but sometimes they see a fallen hair and make a wish.

There are several reasons for hair loss, and they are in front of you:

1. An unbalanced, unhealthy diet affects the loss of eyelashes and the deterioration of their appearance.
2. Lack of vitamins and minerals (with a strict diet).
3. Bad habits.
4. Stress.
5. Hormonal disbalance.
6. Diseases (nervous system, digestive, excretory and almost any other serious failure).
7. Poor-quality cosmetics, including expired.
8. Misuse or abuse of curling irons.
9. Any other mechanical damage to the eye area.
10. Frequent build-up or biowave.
11. Getting on the hairs of household chemicals and aggressive compounds.

Mascara helps to make eyelashes more attractive visually - a dense coloring composition covers the hair with pigment, gives it additional length, volume, and also twists. Abuse of mascara leads to microdamages of hairs. To cure them or prevent the occurrence of problems, it is necessary to moisturize and nourish the hairs. Think about the hair on your head: almost every girl uses hair conditioner or uses a mask rich in nutrients, and eyelashes are often forgotten.

Homemade masks or store-bought products will help to increase the length of eyelashes at home, they also take excellent care of eyebrows at home.

• Castor oil - the most common home care product for eyelashes and eyebrows. Usually it is applied to the hairs before going to bed - for 30-60 minutes, so that the oil is well absorbed. Before falling asleep, the eyelashes can be blotted with a dry cotton pad and remove excess oil, which can cause a slight swelling of the mucosa. It strengthens the hairs well and gives them a rich dark color.
• Burdock is another great option. Choose oil without additives or with nettle, chamomile (in no case should you use red pepper). It strengthens eyelashes and stimulates their growth (due to the nutrition of the bulb).
• coconut - can be used alone or mixed with any base.
• Shea, shea - these oils have a rich texture and nourish the hairs well, restore damaged areas and strengthen.
• Sea buckthorn oil contains carotenoids, fatty acids and minerals - to restore and nourish hairs. It softens the hairs and makes them fluffy (in the positive sense of the word).
• pomace from grape seeds.
• Vitamins A and E in a liquid formula, they are used both independently and as part of a mask with base cosmetic oils, which provides comprehensive care.
• Usma leaf powder - strengthens hair follicles and prevents hair loss.

The following most famous options can be distinguished:

• Brew chamomile, black or green tea, cool it to a comfortable temperature and soak cotton pads in the solution. Apply them to your eyes and allow yourself to relax for 10-15 minutes.
• Can be taken any other medicinal herb or mixture: wild rose, sage, cornflower, birch or oak leaves.You need to brew it, let it brew and pour it into a separate container - a kind of eyelash tonic is ready.

Their use every day or every other day makes it possible to grow eyelashes literally from scratch (or restore the structure). Folk eyelash care recipes have long taken root in modern cities. This is the most affordable and effective way of home care. It is worth learning more about masks and considering a few recipes:

• Toning mask based on aloe vera juice restores hairs and stimulates their natural growth. Mix fresh aloe juice and any base oil (sunflower, olive, burdock, castor) in proportions of 1:2 or 1:1. Apply the composition to clean hairs and leave for 30-40 minutes, or overnight.

• Firming mask based on liquid vitamin A - mix a couple of drops of it with castor oil and aloe juice in proportions 1:3:2. You can take burdock or olive oil - these options are also suitable.
• To strengthen the hairs, brew rose hips, cool the liquid. For one tablespoon of decoction, add 1 teaspoon of sea buckthorn and castor oil, pour into a separate bottle and put in a closet for 7-10 days, so that the homemade "balm" is infused. Apply it every other day or daily in the evening - lubricate the hairs.

• Stimulates the growth of eyelashes decoction of chamomile and rose hips - brew dried or fresh herbs, let it brew for a day. Do a compress daily, in the evenings.
• Another way to make hair longer - use a mixture of oils: burdock, castor, jojoba, grape seed, olive, almond, linseed are suitable. Mix 2-3 types in equal proportions, pour a new liquid into the old mascara tube and apply it daily, every evening. Wash off the oils or not - decide for yourself.
• Vaseline perfectly copes with the problem of falling eyelashes - it's cheap, but what an effect you can get! Such a tool softens the hair cuticle well, penetrates into the bulb and nourishes it from the inside, which stimulates the strengthening and rapid growth of hairs.

Store-bought products will also help grow eyelashes: extension serums, gels, oil-based masks. What is their advantage - no need to cook, they are sealed in a tube (with a brush for applying to eyelashes). More expensive products have a really valuable composition with rare components (including UV filters, keratins). Ready-made serums can be based on hormonal agents, which will allow you to get the eyelashes of your dreams. The result will be very noticeable. However, hormonal preparations for eyelashes can cause their inharmonious, different growth. The hairs will begin to grow chaotically - somewhere longer, somewhere shorter. Irritation may occur.

See below for details.

There are the following effective ways:

Cosmetic mascara, enriched with a complex of keratins and oils, will not only visually lengthen the eyelashes, but also additionally strengthen the hairs, stimulate their growth and simply make up for the imbalance.Vitamin-based complexes can stimulate the natural production of protein (keratin), which makes eyelashes noticeably stronger, stronger, longer and fuller.

Transparent analogue is suitable for men and children. As a rule, transparent mascaras provide comprehensive care - they nourish, protect and visually lengthen the hair, while there is no effect of painted eyelashes.

This option is suitable for all women, but this effect cannot be called natural.

This is one of the ways to lengthen and strengthen eyelashes. Eat foods rich in healthy fats (chicken eggs, vegetable, olive oils, butter, avocados), protein (chicken meat, cottage cheese, cheese) and a complex of vitamins (vegetables, nuts, fruits).

This, for example, Botox for eyelashes, the essence of which is to cover the hairs with a special composition. It lays down on the eyelashes, gives them a noticeable length and volume. This option is safe and allows you to replace mascara. A similar option is keratin hair restoration.

There are a variety of tricks that masters use:

• For curling hair use tongs, do not abuse them every day - just use them for a special occasion. For each day, the index finger will do. Press the eyelashes upward at the base with it and fix for 5-10 seconds.
• After each coat of mascara hold for 10 seconds - this will allow the composition to dry a little, but not glue the eyelashes on the next application.
• Use false eyelashes, if you want to achieve both volume and lengthening.
• Before applying mascara lightly powder your eyelashes - the powder will create additional volume on the hairs and give lengthening.
• Real makeup artists use two mascaras at once: one for volume, the other for lengthening. This allows you to achieve a "doll" effect. They also use beams and stick them on the corners of the eyes.
• Don't throw away your old mascara - Rinse the tube well and place castor oil in it (any other will do, even a mixture).
• Use a special technique when applying mascara - do not move the brush straight, but from corner to corner. Start coloring the hairs from the very base, moving to the tips and creating black eyelashes.
• Look for special mascara formulations: for sensitive eyes, choose hypoallergenic cosmetics, for thin and brittle eyelashes - with a complex of keratins, vitamins or oils.

Girls on the Internet say that oils and special gels for hair growth help to grow long eyelashes - for example, Relouis. It does not make the eyelids heavy, it is easy to apply and distribute, there is no discomfort or irritation. The light gel texture covers the hairs as evenly as possible and allows you to “put on” yourself even during the day - both separately and as a base for cosmetic mascara.
