A recent replacement for eyelash extensions recently is lamination. During the covering of the hairs with a keratin protective coating, an increase in the volume of the eyelashes occurs, which gives the eyes a brighter and more expressive look. At the same time, there is no need to visit a cosmetologist to stain cilia, since lamination creates the effect of painted eyelashes. This procedure can be performed both in the salon and at home, since it does not take too much time. In this article, we learn about the basic requirements for such an operation.
Duration of the procedure
To find out how long lamination of eyelashes takes place, you should understand what the procedure itself is.
Lamination is as follows. First, a special tool is applied to the hairs, which strengthens them, visually lengthens, makes it thicker and more voluminous. To give the desired shade, you can use colored pigment, suitable in type and color to the eyes. To fix and give shape, special forceps are often used.
In order to avoid contact of components with the skin, special pads or cotton pads are installed under the eyes (when performing the procedure at home).
The duration of the work depends on some nuances. In a salon, such an operation will last from 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the material chosen, the method of execution and the professionalism of the specialist.
At home, lamination of eyelashes over time lasts about 1.5 hours, and in some cases, the procedure can take 2-3 hours.
