What is American eyelash extension and how to do it?

An effective and expressive look is the dream of every woman, regardless of her age and social status. Given the increased demand for eyelash extensions, beauty industry experts have developed a large number of methods for this procedure. Despite the wide assortment of technologies, masters of beauty salons recommend paying attention to the American method, which involves piecewise mounting of artificial material.

American eyelash extensions - an offshoot of Japanese technology, which is based on fixing artificial hair to a natural eyelash. Thanks to this technique, specialists achieve natural effect, and the look becomes deep and captivating. As a fixing agent, special glue is used, which reliably combines artificial and natural material. A distinctive feature of this technology is the use of not polymer fibers, but a material made of silicone and rubber, which are highly resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations.

Thanks to the material used and the technique of fixation, eyelashes that are built up using the American method have several advantages:

• high level of reliability;
• the possibility of forming any bend;
• long period of operation;
• spectacular appearance;
• lack of discomfort and sensation of a foreign object on the eyelids;
• increased resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations;
• resistance to mechanical damage;
• environmental Safety;
• lack of restrictions on the use of cosmetics;
• the ability to wash off decorative products with any composition;
• quick recovery after sleep and rest;
• lack of allergic rashes.

Like any method, this technology has several disadvantages:

• the possibility of holding only in specialized salons;
• duration of the procedure;
• high cost of consumables.

Thanks to the painstaking work of stylists and cosmetologists, the type of eyelash extensions can be selected individually depending on the chosen image, external textured data and the wishes of the client.

Beginning fashionistas need to consider that the volume of eyelash extensions depends on the following factors:

• type of building;
• fiber length and thickness.

Depending on the technique, the building is of the following types:

• building corners;
• partial;
• full;
• building in 2 rows.

For the most high-quality and effective creation of an expressive look, manufacturers produce eyelashes of different lengths and thicknesses.. The length of the consumable is in the range from 0.5 mm to 18 mm, and the thickness is from 0.05 mm to 0.25 mm.

For the most accurate creation of the selected image it is necessary to take into account the level of bending, which happens in the following types:

• imperceptible - twisting only in the root zone;
• minor - Mild bending for the amygdala;
• middle - deep bend to create an open look;
• double middle - increased bending, which is suitable for deep-set eyes and correction of imperfections in appearance;
• significant - a bend that allows you to visually increase the volume and length of the eyelashes;
• strong - twisting to create a puppet effect;
• very strong - the bend used for the eastern section of the eyes;
• maximum - twisting, which corrects the shortcomings of the overhanging century.

Almost all methods of eyelash extension have a similar technique and general principles of work, so the American method of eyelash extensions was no exception. In order to get a beautiful and expressive look, the following sequence of actions must be observed:

• cleaning the working area of ​​cosmetics, dust, dirt and sweat residues;
• degreasing of the skin with special cosmetic compounds;
• applying a primer to reveal the keratin layer of the hair, which will provide the maximum level of adhesion;
• protection of the lower eyelid from contact with adhesive using silicone pads or hydrogel;
• combing natural eyelashes with the simultaneous creation of the necessary volume and shape;
• the choice of the style of building, the creation of a technological scheme and the selection of the necessary consumables;
• fixation of artificial fibers on natural eyelashes with pre-smearing them with glue;
• maintaining the necessary amount of time for the polymerization of the adhesive composition.

In order for extended eyelashes to retain their shape and attractive appearance for as long as possible, Experts recommend immediately after the procedure to exclude all contact with water. It is strictly forbidden to sleep face-down on a pillow and use force when applying or removing makeup.

Despite the huge number of positive reviews about the American method of extension, eyelashes after this manipulation also need proper and timely care.

Experts recommend that the first correction be carried out already 3 weeks after the build-up, due to the fact that part of the hairs may fall off during operation.

You can remove decorative material only in specialized salons, and when the first signs of discomfort and pain appear, you should immediately contact the master.
