For some, eyelash extension is just a rational solution that allows you not to waste time on daily makeup. Someone through the extension solves the problem of small or very light, rare eyelashes. But there are those who want to create a completely new visual effect in the eye area, which is impossible to achieve in a natural way. And these girls should think about 5D eyelash extensions.
What is it like?
The story of the appearance of such voluminous eyelashes goes to Hollywood: there many celebrities used this procedure (and even today it cannot be said that this extension option remains unclaimed). The peculiarity of these eyelashes is their density.
If with classical extension one artificial eyelash falls on one of its own, then 5D technology fixes a whole bunch on its own eyelash. And it should be glued so that the shape of the corolla is preserved, which makes the image more natural.
Using this technique, you can get completely different effects of eye design. We list the most popular.
- "Fox". Lashmaster uses hairs of different lengths. Closer to the inner corner of the eye sticks short ones, the long ones are fixed at the outer corner. They imitate the arrow, which gives the eyes a fox squint.
- "Squirrel". In this case, thick artificial eyelashes with beams are glued only on the outer corner of the eye.
- "Doll". This technology involves the use of the longest possible hairs over the entire length of the eyelid. Eyes become puppet, and many clients just need such a result.
- Natural. The option is not the most common, since the specificity of 5D itself does not imply the creation of naturalness. But if you get a good master, he can find a balance.
- Sparse. In this case, the lashmaster alternates when gluing long and short hairs.
There are, of course, more creative options, with rhinestones, for example, but these types of building 5D should be described separately.
Advantages and disadvantages
Hollywood building has undeniable advantages and disadvantages discussed.
The advantages of technology include:
- creating an incredible volume of eyelashes;
- the formation of a special depth and expressiveness of gaze;
- the growth process itself is faster than the ciliary method;
- saving time on morning makeup.
That is why women decide on a 5D volume that can create an effect that cannot be overlooked.
The main minus of the method, judging by the reviews of clients, is heavy load on your eyelashes and eyelids. Due to the significant weight of the bundles, the eyelashes fall off faster. A those women who by nature have weak cilia, in principle, can not use this technique. Finally, this technique is also not suitable for permanent use: often this option is chosen for some significant event, for example, a wedding.
How eyelashes look after a Hollywood extension can be judged by photo examples.
Someone likes this option, someone considers it redundant, it is a matter of taste and relevance. This technique is not suitable for all face types, eye shapes, or for every age; an individual approach to the client is required.
Who is it for?
Such a method is suitable for those who are ready for serious transformations: facial features visually change a little, the look becomes wider. If you focus on the lips with such bright eyelashes in makeup, it is easy to miss and get the result from the series too much.
Therefore, there is a Hollywood build-up for girls who are initially ready for a very bright and expressive result.
5D extension is suitable for those who:
- own eyelashes are strong, quite long and not very rare (they will become a support for artificial beams);
- by nature, expressive facial features, if such an appearance cannot be called, hypervolume can lead to an undesirable effect, which will be expressed by disharmony of facial features;
- the task is to attract attention, to make the image especially vivid, it can be some kind of festive event, and sometimes ballroom dancers, figure skaters, gymnasts turn to such a build-up, since stage makeup may require some exaggeration;
- there is a desire to stand out from the crowd, to become very noticeable, to change your appearance, if not dramatically, then significantly.
To whom, on the contrary, the Hollywood buildup may not be suitable - this should still be considered individually, but there are general trends. It is worthwhile to understand that such large eyelashes, impressive in length and density, attract attention to the face in general and to the skin in particular. Wrinkles, pigmentation, ptosis become especially noticeable. therefore This type of eyelash extension is rarely suitable for older clients.
He will not look convincingly on girls with soft features, a calm color type. Too lush eyelashes will look inorganic with available external data. Lashmakers themselves emphasize that the concept of beauty does not have strict criteria. Only one of them is an axiom - appearance should be harmonious.
In principle, extended eyelashes cannot suit all women in a row, not every type of appearance needs such a bright accent on the eyes. And you should be aware of this. It’s worthwhile to understand that wearing a 5D volume for a long time is simply impossible - there is a risk of being left without your own eyelashes and acquiring vision problems.
You need to take long breaks so that your own eyelashes relax from such a load.
Dressing
In addition to the fact that eyelashes can be given an unrealistic volume, in parallel they can also be decorated. The decor on the cilia can look original, which allows the girl to add a twist to her image. Again, it’s not necessary to do this with a “long term” aim; it’s better to time the building with decoration for some event or event.
Here are some decor options:
- feathers - if the master knows a lot about relevance and measure, then he will make miniature blotches of feathers in the cilia and make it so that such a solution will only add harmony to the appearance of the client;
- rhinestones - The option loses its former popularity, but does not lose loyal fans, and if someone made it their highlight, you should not abandon it in order to change the fashions;
- colored cilia - they decorate the main color, although the extension of whole colored eyelashes is also possible.
If the client does not want to stand out with such decoration, you can just make very long eyelashes of 14 mm. The master will advise you whether it is worth focusing on the length, it depends on the initial data of the eyelashes, and on the width / depth of the eye, etc.
Very often, clients are asked to make 5D-extension, but so that the shape of the cilia is a la Kim Kardashian. The American star dictates fashion in this direction. This effect is expressed in the form of eyelashes with “rays”, which give special expressiveness to the look. Not every master takes up such an increase, although it goes to almost everyone.
How is it done?
Often, the master recommends a preliminary consultation: he must see the client with his own eyes, examine the initial data, the condition of the eyelashes. This is necessary, for example, so that a woman has time to prepare for the procedure, for example, to strengthen her cilia, to do oil therapy. Yet the load on the Hollywood extension is rather big and the improvement of your own eyelashes will definitely not be superfluous.
The algorithm of the extension procedure looks like this.
- It is necessary to remove makeup, it is better to do it at home. Skin and eyelashes should be clean.
- Lashmaster degreases cilia, this is necessary for better fixation of glue.
- The specialist cuddles the lower cilia with a special tape to the skin in order to protect them from contact with the adhesive.
- The master will glue the bundles with special tweezers, which immerses each bundle in glue. The entire procedure takes an average of 2-2.5 hours.
- Upon completion of gluing, the master combs new cilia, this is necessary to detect possible gaps. Adjustment may be required.
The ciliary row should be uniform in density, the bend of all cilia should be the same.
It is very important that the artificial fragment does not stick together its own hairs, otherwise an undesirable effect of tightened skin will occur. Wearing such eyelashes will be difficult, inconvenient.
Follow-up care
He is no less important than the search for a good master. Natural eyelashes are regularly updated, this process cannot be stopped. Old hairs fall out, new ones grow in their place, and a bundle glued to it will fall out along with the fallen cilia.
Some clients think that this is a master’s marriage, but do not blame an innocent specialist: nevertheless, the Hollywood bunch does not rest on the skin, but on the client’s own eyelash. And with a natural loss, he is also lost, this is normal and predictable. therefore 2-3 weeks after building a woman goes for correction.
In order for the extended cilia to last as long as possible, you must adhere to the following recommendations.
- In the first day after the procedure, try not to wash at allDo not use creams, gels, tonics, lotions - everything that can come into contact with the adhesive base. Naturally, the shower and bath, sauna and pool on this day are also excluded. If it is snowing or raining outside, you need to think about how to protect yourself from moisture.
- Oil-based cosmetics should be used as little as possible., especially in the first days after building. Oil components like no other destructive effect on the adhesive coupling.
- 5D decorative mascara is basically not neededbut if a decision is made to use it, it should be rare. It is forbidden to use waterproof mascara; it adversely affects the state of glue.
- Cilia curlers with well-made extensions they become a tool that is not necessary. But there are women who are not averse to making the effect of Hollywood eyelashes even more tangible. However, such a curl is fraught with breaking off eyelashes and even whole bundles. You should not do this even once.
- You should not sleep with your face in the pillow - Anyone who builds eyelashes should unlearn this habit. Yes, and for a person such a habit is harmful. The glued hairs are crushed, the aesthetics of the ciliary row is broken. It is possible that the hairs will even begin to break off one after the other.
- If a woman wears lenses, the master should warn her that eyelash extensions are unsafe. The risk of allergies rises, and this is fraught with a severe inflammatory process.
Do not build eyelashes for women with chronic conjunctivitis. Not all ladies pay attention to such a contraindication, hide a diagnosis unfavorable for escalation from the lashmaster. But the disease always affects the eyelids themselves, and building can provoke an exacerbation.
It is not entirely favorable and not completely safe to engage in eyelash extensions, and even in such a volume as 5D, during hormonal changes. Pregnancy, menopause, breastfeeding, adolescence, endocrinological diagnoses - all these are conditional prohibitions for the transformation of the ciliary zone. It is likely that even the cilia of the highest quality fixation will not withstand the increase in the natural loss of their own hairs.
Do not remove eyelash extensions yourself. Even if it seems that they are about to fall off, self-removal can seriously damage the structure of your own hair. The master removes the cilia with a special composition that softens the glue.
To make eyelashes with super volume or not is an individual decision. You need to remember about precautions, and about a possible allergic reaction to the adhesive, and about the potential deterioration of the condition of your own cilia, and even about some risk for vision. But if you really want to make a Hollywood look, you should choose a master and a salon with particular passion.
