Eyelash extensions need also taking into account the duration of your pregnancy. Any woman knows that at each stage of bearing a baby there are peculiarities of the development of the fetus. With a change in the gestational age, the physical condition of the expectant mother changes.

Despite the fact that the components of the drugs used do not penetrate the mother’s blood, it is better to avoid contact with them. Basically, all doctors agree that it is harmful to do eyelash extensions during this period. At this important moment, both the internal organs and the entire nervous system are formed in the unborn child.

The hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is actively working in the body of a woman. This hormone is responsible for the preservation and development of pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. The future mother's sense of smell worsens, the body reacts more sharply to external influences. For example, those smells that a woman did not react to before can be annoying during this period.

In the second trimester, the body of a woman is more adapted to hormonal changes. The organs of the future baby have formed and begin to work. Some doctors believe that at this time a woman can afford some cosmetic procedures, including eyelash extensions. But we should not completely forget about the baby, you need to take into account his condition.

• Approximately from the 18th week, active movements of the baby begin to be felt. If a woman stays in one position for a long time, the child begins to push. He is not quite comfortable, and he is trying to change position.
• Starting from the fourth month, the child grows and gains weight.. This leads to the fact that the woman’s uterus grows and puts pressure on the spines and kidneys. It becomes difficult for a long time to lie on your back, frequent urge to the toilet may occur.
• During this period, some women may experience allergic reactions that were not there before pregnancy.. The sense of smell is still exacerbated, and odors can cause bouts of nausea.

During this period, the baby has completely formed all the organs, the central nervous system works, and the child begins to actively gain weight. On average, its mass reaches 3 kilograms, and together with amniotic fluid reaches up to 10 kg. A woman at this time increasingly feels physical fatigue. The load on her spine and organs increases, she can not lie in one position for a long time. Doctors do not recommend any lengthy procedures at this time, including eyelash extensions. If you still decide on a procedure during this period, then you need to remember some coins.

• First of all, this is the very period of pregnancy and a large belly. The specialist will need to do everything quickly and try not to touch the stomach. At the same time, the woman herself cannot lie still for a long time. There is a chance that the eyelashes will not turn out as you planned.
• Hormonal changes. In the last trimester, substances that stimulate labor (oxytocin and prolactin) are actively produced in the body of the expectant mother.

It is understandable that a woman wants to be beautiful, and even in late pregnancy. In addition, with the birth of a child, the first time will be difficult to devote time to yourself. However, doctors are in solidarity and highly recommend not doing this procedure for long periods.

Childbirth is a difficult process and can be long. No matter how accurately you plan and do not focus on the timing, at the 9th month of pregnancy, childbirth can begin at any time. In addition, there are times when the birth process itself is not going according to plan. So during this period it is better to relax as much as possible and follow the doctor's recommendations.

There are 2 main ways of eyelash extension, this is the extension of each cilium (ciliary) and the bundles. Below we will consider these methods in more detail. Before choosing one of them and proceeding with the procedure itself, a woman needs to keep in mind the following.

• As noted above, the session should Only qualified craftsmen and only in the salon. Tools must be sanitized after each client.
• The woman herself should not apply makeup on the day of the procedure. Even better if you check in advance for allergies to materials. In an extreme case, it is better to drink allergy medications, agreed with your doctor.
• Before the procedure, it is better to consult with the master about the shape of future eyelashes. Consider how they will look on the face, combined with the size and shape of the eyes.

As noted above, there are 2 ways to eyelash extensions.

Ciliary - is the extension of each eyelash. With this method, approximately 120 hairs are glued to each eye. The master squeezes the glue onto the transparent glass, then dips each eyelash with pre-processed tweezers into the glue. An artificial hair is glued on each eyelash at a distance of 1 mm from the edge of the eyelid. Short eyelashes are glued at the inner corner of the eye, long - at the outer. Then the master will check the result and, if an empty space has formed between the eyelashes, it is filled with artificial ones. For pregnant women, most cosmetologists recommend eyelash extensions using the ciliary method. This method allows you to maintain the effect for several months.

A bundle method of building is when 16-17 bundles are glued to one eye. The bundles are glued in the same way directly to the eyelid itself. Bunches can be different - dense and not very, long and short. With this method, the master works in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. To get a natural effect, the bundles must be evenly distributed throughout the eyelid. This method is suitable for those who are not ready to spend a long time in the office of a cosmetologist. The whole procedure takes no more than 40 minutes, however, such eyelashes need more thorough and gentle care.

Both building methods use innovative materials. Glue components allow eyelashes to remain elastic after the procedure.The glue dries quickly, and the cilia do not stick together between the glitches. There are 4 types of eyelashes. The easiest and easiest to use are artificial eyelashes. A session with their use lasts no more than 30 minutes, but they remain in their eyes for no more than a week.

Mink eyelashes are suitable for daily use. Pregnant women are not recommended to use them, because when using this type of eyelashes, allergic reactions often occur.

Sable eyelashes are the heaviest material. For pregnant women, such eyelashes are also not recommended for use, the eyes can quickly get tired and feel discomfort. Also, this type is not suitable for those women who have thin or weak eyelashes. Regardless of what material eyelashes are made of, there are several types of bending of artificial eyelashes. Bending options must be selected individually, depending on the shape of the face and the desired effect.

• Effect "Puppet eyes" achieved due to the strong bending of the eyelashes, option D bending.
• For an open expressive look use bending eyelashes C.
• Eyelashes have a more natural and light bend. option B, in which the view becomes open and natural.
• Almost straight eyelashes or with minimal bending are obtained with the option bending J.

It is advisable to discuss this issue with the master before the session, so that you do not regret your decision later. The classic (natural) effect is achieved by gluing eyelashes of the same length in the ciliary way. Eyelashes are glued in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. As a rule, the length of artificial eyelashes for this effect should be no more than 10 mm.

DFor the "fox effect" apply the ciliary method of extension using eyelashes of different lengths. The master works in the direction from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. Gradually increasing the length of the eyelashes, the longest eyelashes are applied to the outer corner of the eye. “Puppet glance” can be obtained by eyelash extensions of the same length in the ciliary way. To obtain this result, as a rule, very long eyelashes with the option of bending D are used.
