All About Eyelash Collagen

The negative effects of various environmental factors and age-related changes lead to the leaching of an important compound - collagen from the body. As a result, eyelashes may suffer. In this case, they fade and become brittle. If timely measures are not taken to “rehabilitate” them, the hairs will begin to fall abundantly. To prevent such consequences, cosmetologists have developed collagen eyelashes. We will tell you what it is, what advantages and disadvantages this procedure has and how to perform it yourself at home.

The saturation of the color of the eyelashes, the speed of their renewal and fragility directly depend on the production of a building protein called collagen. It stimulates the function of cell repair, and also promotes the connection between the scales of hairs. If building protein is enough, an invisible shell forms on the surface of the cilia, protecting them from various contaminants, ultraviolet radiation, frost and other negative environmental influences. As a result, the hairs on the upper eyelids acquire shine, strength, elasticity. They look fluffy and shiny.

However, with age, the amount of collagen decreases significantly, due to which the hairs framing the eyes become dull and eventually lose their vitality. Do not despair and think that the health and beauty of eyelashes cannot be returned.

The procedure involves the use of drugs saturated with collagen and other nutrients. They contribute to the restoration of the structure of hairs, their strengthening and active growth. Due to the content of collagen in such products, a protective barrier is formed, which gives the hairs density, a natural healthy shine and smoothness.

Age is not the only reason that building protein is produced slowly or is rapidly washed out of the body. The reason for this is often stress, poor ecology, an unbalanced diet leading to a lack of important vitamins and minerals. In these cases, eyelashes also suffer - often they begin to fall abundantly, grow poorly and break. Collagenization is indicated in such situations.

And also it is recommended to resort to it:

• if necessary, restore eyelashes after their extension or modeling;
• with hypovitaminosis;
• with a lack of moisture;
• with the weakening and thinning of eyelashes in the case of perm (and other cosmetic procedures involving the use of harmful, aggressive compounds);
• to improve the condition and appearance of eyelashes (increase their length, volume and degree of bending).

Collagenization is considered safe procedurehowever, it is not suitable for everyone. The technique has its advantages and disadvantages, which should be familiarized in advance - before using it.

Collagenizing eyelashes is a safe procedure with many advantages:

• a noticeable effect, visible after the first procedure for using collagen-based preparations: eyelashes acquire shine, a graceful bend, their abundant loss stops;
• the hairs become thicker and denser, due to which the decorative mascara is applied more evenly, and the cilia do not stick together;
• after the procedure it is allowed to sleep in a comfortable position, even on the stomach, which, for example, cannot be done after lamination of eyelashes;
• a day after the manipulations you can use decorative cosmetics;

It is advisable to saturate with collagen only thinned and weakened hairs. It is better to abandon the procedure for people with healthy eyelashes. Otherwise, a supersaturation with building protein may occur, due to which the hairs can become excessively dry and brittle. In order not to harm, it is recommended to resort to the procedure only to those who really need it.

Velveteen and collagen eyelash - two innovative procedures, the action of which is aimed at healing hair for centuries. Both methods are painlesshave a minimum of contraindications. The result of these procedures is similar: eyelashes become moisturized, nourished with useful substances, as a result of which their structure is restored, growth is improved. There is some difference between these methods.

Primarily, these are the compositions. With velveteen, preparations based on keratin are used. They also contain various vitamins and collagen derived from seaweed. Collagen eyelashes do not on lower eyelids, unlike velveteen.For the rest, these are two actions that are similar in principle and in the technology of the procedure.

For collagen eyelashes they sell special sets in which the necessary funds are already selected. As a rule, these are the following types of drugs:

• Soften - an activator that stimulates the accelerated penetration of nutrients into the hairs;
• Fixer - a tool that helps to make the eyelashes thick (it also allows the building protein to penetrate deep into the cells);
• Conditioner - fixing base.

These preparations do not contain synthetic components and chemically aggressive substances.

You can perform collagen eyelashes both in the salon by a professional master, and at home. In the second case, it will be possible to save money, but will have to spend more time. The procedure performed by an experienced cosmetologist generally lasts about 1-1.5 hours. Next, we will tell you what is needed for self-saturation of hairs with collagen.

When performing collagenization, you can not do without special tools. At hand should be the following:

• silicone roller (can be of different sizes: for short or long hairs, as well as for medium length eyelashes);
• protective pads designed to prevent funds from reaching the area around the eyes;
• cotton buds to remove residual formulations;
• a brush for applying a coloring matter;
• tweezers for separating hairs.

In addition to the drugs included in the standard kits, you may need makeup remover.

Before you begin the procedure, you should carefully prepare. For this makeup and traces of natural impurities are removed from the face. After this, the eyelashes need to be given some time so that they are completely dry.

Next, a protective pad is applied to the skin near the eye area, and on the moving eyelid fixed silicone roller. It is necessary to gently glue eyelashes on it, using a safe adhesive composition. On this, the preparation is completed - you can proceed to the next stage.

On the eyelashes with a brush activator is applied. It is designed to open the flakes for better penetration of later applied substances. The product is aged on the hairs for no more than 5 minutes, after which its residues are removed using a cotton swab.

Further dye applied to eyelashes. For these purposes, only natural pigments are used. They will give the hair shine, visual density and splendor. After exposure for 10 minutes, collagen is applied, which is removed with a cotton swab (the duration of exposure is indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions for the tool).

The final stage is application of the finishing composition. It performs two important functions: it facilitates faster and easier detachment of eyelashes from the roller, and also “seals” building protein and keratin.

If the eyelashes were badly damaged, Nutrient Serum Recommended. It additionally moisturizes each hair and creates a shell on its surface, which is able to permanently retain nutritional components in the cells.

After collagenization some restrictions should be followed. For example, on the first day it is not recommended to wet your eyes, use decorative or caring cosmetics. For 48 hours, you should refuse to visit the pools, steam rooms. After a day, you can use mascara, apply various strengthening or nourishing compounds to the eyelashes.

The effect after collagenization lasts 2-3 months. The hairs growing back on the eyelids will vary slightly in color. In addition, there will be no bend on them.Due to the renewal, the eyelashes will look sloppy over time, because of which it will be necessary to again resort to collagenization. Due to the fact that the procedure is considered gentle, it can be done 1 time in 3 weeks.

The result of collagenization is impressive. Numerous photographs of women prove that the procedure is really effective. For 1 session, the eyelashes are saturated with healing substances, due to which their appearance and condition are visually improved. Due to the use of natural coloring pigments, the hairs become darker by several tones, due to which many, after collagenizing, refuse to use decorative mascara. Photos before and after the procedure provide an opportunity to visually see what changes occur with the hairs framing the eyes.
