Eyelash extension procedure is now very popular among girls around the world. And this is absolutely not surprising, because due to the additional hairs, the gaze becomes wider and the eyes brighter. There are many extension technologies, one of which is 10D. In the article, we will consider the features of this method, tell who these eyelashes are suitable for, and give tips on eye care after the procedure.
Advantages and disadvantages
There are various techniques for bonding extra artificial eyelashes to the upper eyelid. This procedure is called buildup. 10D technology is one of several methods that not only gives the effect of wide eyes, but also provides an increase in the volume and density of hairs on the upper mobile eyelid. This procedure involves gluing 10 additional hairs on each eyelash available to the client.
Eyelashes extended in this way look bright, impressive and make a visible emphasis on the eyes, a multiple increase in the previous number of hairs will not go unnoticed. 10D eyelashes are the most voluminous extension, this is a rather non-standard method, therefore, before visiting the master, it is recommended to carefully read the characteristics of the technique so that the eyes look natural and aesthetically pleasing.
For the 10D extension procedure, special lightweight synthetic filaments are used, sparing fibers.
They do not weigh down the eyelids as much as they would if standard threads were used. Thanks to this material, a large amount of additional hair does not affect the stability of eyelashes.
This technique is used exclusively on the upper movable eyelid, since for the lower 10D there is too much not only in weight, but also in result. At the bottom of the eyelashes should look neat. As a rule, building down is performed according to standard techniques.
Unfortunately, procedure 10D has some conswhich must be taken into account. Technology gives the most multiple increase in the volume of eyelashes, so it is not suitable for every representative of the fair sex. Take care of studying the photo of the final result just before the session to decide if this effect is right for you.
Another minus is heavy weighteven though using lightweight threads. This has an increased load on the moving eyelid, as a result of which it will be more difficult to open the eyes.
It is recommended immediately before the procedure to get advice from a specialist who will give the right advice whether you should use this type of building or not. In some cases, the result is too ridiculous, and the girl’s appearance becomes comical.
Who is it for?
Such voluminous eyelashes are not suitable for every representative of the fair sex. The 10D extension can be done in the following cases.
- If you are a dancer or actress, then you need to emphasize facial features so that you can be seen from the stage.
- For special occasions, when you need to make your look more attractive and wide. Remember that the 10D effect will last a few weeks after an important evening. If there is no desire to wear voluminous eyelashes for so long, you will have to go to the master again to remove the threads.
- If you are the owner of rare and dull cilia and want to give your eyes brightness. But if the hairs are too weak, this amount of additional fibers will not last long. Also, such an extension will not look natural.
- If, after a chemical-cosmetic procedure, eyelashes have lost their density and shine.
- If you want to focus on the eyes.
To prevent an unsuccessful result, it is better to consult a specialist who will evaluate the appearance before the procedure and give advice on whether such voluminous eyelashes are suitable for you.
Extension 10D is suitable for girls with large facial features and a bright appearance. So it will look more harmonious.
Girls with a sophisticated face, small nose and puffy lips should use the classic technique, since in their case 10D will look just ridiculous.
Extension technology
10D eyelash extension technology is divided into 3 stages: skin preparation, the procedure itself and care after visiting the beautician. All recommendations must be strictly observed in order to obtain maximum results and long-term fiber stability. First of all, the cosmetologist writes out prescriptions for skin care of the eyelids, which will be the preparatory stage for the procedure.
Treat all recommendations with responsibility, as it depends on the basis of how accurately artificial eyelashes will lie on natural ones. It is much easier and more convenient for the master to work on prepared skin, respectively, and the result will be better.
First of all, it is necessary to take into account that one week before the build-up procedure, stop using antibiotics. If for health reasons you have to drink medicine, you have to postpone the visit to the beautician. The fact is that antibiotics sometimes lead to loss or weakening of natural eyelashes, therefore such a large volume of 10 additional fibers will be difficult to sustain.
Native cilia must be treated with special care. It is not recommended to paint with mascara for a week before the procedure. It is better to lubricate the hairs with oil for strengthening.
So, the preparatory phase is completed, then everything depends on the experience and talent of the master to whom you have come.
Extension cilia 10D is as follows.
- First, the upper eyelid is treated with a cotton pad, which is pre-wetted with micellar water. This stage removes the remains of mascara, eye shadow and other decorative cosmetics from hairs.
- Next, the cilia growth line is treated with a special antiseptic oil, which removes excess fat secretions from the hair follicles and prepares the skin for the procedure.
- Then, under the lower eyelid, disposable tissue patches are placed, which will absorb the released liquid and prevent the hairs from sticking together.
- A silicone base is mounted on the upper movable eyelidwhich the master will remove later. Eyelashes are attached to it with special cosmetic glue. In the case of volume 10D-extension, the master lubricates the eyelashes with another layer of the composition to stick an additional amount of artificial threads.
- When the fibers finally stick the master removes fabric patches from the client’s face, detaches the base and prescribes the care necessary after the cosmetic procedure.
The first few minutes can be difficult to open and close your eyes, as a load of 10 artificial hairs on each eyelash was added to the eyelids. After some time after a long blink, your eyes will get used to and you can safely go home.
Since the 10D extension is very voluminous and requires a large number of additional eyelashes, a visit to the cosmetologist can take much longer than with standard technology.
Do not get mad at the master and suspect him of unprofessionalism: attaching so many fibers may require a couple of hours.
How to care?
There are not so many rules for caring for 10D extensions after the procedure, however, they should be followed so that the eyelashes last longer:
- it is not recommended to use oily creams and oils to care for the area around the eyes, as they dissolve the glue;
- Do not try to remove artificial threads yourself;
- do not rub your eyes with a towel;
- do not wet your eyes the first 24 hours after visiting the salon;
- It is forbidden to swim and sunbathe for two days after the procedure;
