1.5D Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extension gives the look expressiveness without the use of decorative cosmetics. The 1.5D volume, or, as it is also called, a classic with thickening, is gaining more and more popularity. What are its features, who is suitable for such an extension, what do eyelashes look like before and after the procedure - read below.

The essence of one and a half volume - imitation of a 2D effect with a reduced load on natural cilia. When building 1.5D, the “classics” and “deuces” alternate (one artificial hair is glued on one hair, on the next two, and so on in turn throughout the eyelid) or from the inner corner of the eye to the middle a single volume is built up, and from the middle and to the outer corner - double. The second method is usually chosen by lovers of the "fox" effect.

1.5D Volume Features:

• the combination of classic and 2D looks very natural, but at the same time catchy;
• a lashmaker can choose one of a variety of extension technologies, since using the alternation of volumes, you can put the right accents in any area of ​​the upper eyelid and even adjust the shape of the eyes;
• the thickness of artificial hairs for a volume of 1.5D is 0.07-0.5 mm;
• with the help of one and a half building it will be possible to imitate the following effects: babydoll, foxes, squirrel;
• the master can "play" with the length and bend based on the wishes of the client, as well as starting from the specifics of the growth of natural cilia.

Consider the main pros and cons of building 1.5D.

Pros:

• allows you to create a volume thicker than the classical, but less than double, thereby satisfying the requirements of ladies who do not like excessive "artificiality", but consider the "unity" too "bald";
• suitable for thin and weakened eyelashes, as it does not overload them;
• you can wear a “one and a half” for quite a long time - 6 weeks, unless, of course, you follow all the recommendations for care.

Without excessive modesty, we can say that building 1.5D is suitable for 90% of girls. The thing is that with its help you can:

• “Raise” the overhanging eyelid;
• visually increase the size of the eye, "open" it;
• adjust the shape by making the eyes almond-shaped.

So, who can take one and a half volume into service:

• narrow-eyed girls;
• girls with wide-set eyes;
• ladies with eyelashes, magnificent by nature - a classic with a thickening will only supplement them, but will not overload them, like a “two” or “three”.

However, one and a half volume has one “contraindication”: it is not recommended for owners of small eyes. This is due to the fact that it will be difficult to choose the optimal length of artificial cilia: too long will stick out unnaturally, and short ones will be just as inconspicuous as natural ones. Masters, as a rule, recommend such girls to build up a “two” or “three” with a squirrel effect.

For eyelash extensions in the amount of 1.5D, the following materials are usually used.

• Silk. The artificial hair has a diameter of 0.05-0.1 mm. Shines glossy, looks natural. With the help of silk cilia, you can create any effect. However, since they are rather thin, they need a careful attitude: for example, sleep-lovers, having buried their faces in the pillow, very quickly say goodbye to them. In addition, silk eyelashes do not hold a “cool” curl, so the variety of their bends is limited.
• Speakers. The diameter of the hair is 0.1-0.15 mm. Due to the greater thickness compared to the previous ones, the cilia hold on better, are less prone to breaking, but look just as beautiful and natural.
• Mink. The diameter of the mink eyelash is 0.15-0.2 mm. The most commonly used material when building 1.5D. Any bend can be given to the eyelashes and they will keep it for the entire period of operation.
• Sable. The thickest hairs are 0.2-0.25 mm. Great for creating a "puppet" effect. However, their weight may be too large for thin and weakened eyelashes, so they should be used with caution.

In addition to artificial cilia, when building, special glue is used. It is characterized by:

• lack of extraneous smell;
• minimum drying time;
• hypoallergenic;
• eye safety with increased sensitivity.

There are two ways to grow eyelashes using the 1.5D technique. Let us consider each of them in more detail.

This is exactly the same. the alternation of "unity" and "deuce" throughout the upper eyelid. However, even here the master can be creative and select the necessary zones with the help of double volume. The choice of thickness and length is also variable and depends on the initial data: the shape of the eyes, their location on the face, etc.

The scheme for increasing the volume of 1.5D in this way:

• work begins from the inner corner of the eye and advances to the outer;
• first double cilia is glued, then a single cilia, then they alternate;
• if necessary, the master selects accent areas using 2D eyelashes.

A longer procedure than the previous one. However and The result is more effective.

Stages of complex one and a half building.

1. The zone of hair growth on the upper eyelid is conditionally divided into three parts: the outer edge, the central part, the inner edge.
2. Gluing of cilia begins from the inner corner of the eye - single hairs are glued there according to the classical pattern.
3. The middle zone of the eye is again divided into three parts: the one that is closer to the bridge of the nose is processed as follows - 1-1-2-1-1-1-2 (1 - single cilium, 2 - double). Elements are glued to the center of the middle zone according to the alternation scheme of “twos” and “ones” - eyelashes thicken, gradually creating the necessary volume. On the remaining part of the central zone, the material is applied according to the scheme 2-2-1-2-2-2-1 to achieve an effect of even greater density.
4. The last, outer side of the eyelid is pasted over only with double cilia.

If you constantly increase eyelashes, then you are already familiar with the rules for caring for them. However, it will be useful for beginners to learn more about them.

1. The first 24 hours is strictly forbidden to wet the cilia. It is during this period that the glue substance dries and its coupling with natural hairs. If moisture gets on it, it will simply be washed off, and the eyelashes will disappear, nullifying all the efforts of the master.
2. Refuse to visit the sauna, bathhouse, pool, solarium, beach in the first week after building.
3. Wash your face with warm, but not hot water. If you like to make steam baths for the face, reduce the time of their exposure.
4. Avoid mechanical impact on the eyelids and eyelashes: do not rub your eyes with your hands, a handkerchief or a napkin, and do not sleep with your face in the pillow. After washing, gently pat the cilia with a lint-free towel.
5. Avoid using makeup products that contain oils and fats.
6. The volume of 1.5D is large enough, it does not need additional mascara tinting. However, if you cannot refuse it, choose products that are easily washed off with water and micellar foam. Waterproof cosmetics - taboo.
7. Twice a day - morning and evening - comb your eyelashes with a special silicone brush. This must be done by moving along the bend, giving them their original position.
8. From time to time, make lotions for the eyes using decoctions of useful herbs: nettles, calendula, chamomile - this will strengthen the roots of natural eyelashes and extend the term of artificial socks.

Here are a few photos that clearly demonstrate what it is - 1.5D volume.

• Before and after the procedure. Look how the eye has transformed, what depth has appeared in the look.

• This photo demonstrates 1.5D extension in a complicated way, when thickening of eyelashes comes from the middle of the upper eyelid.

• Alternating classics and 2D. The choice of such an extension technology makes the cilia uniformly dense along the entire line of their growth.
