Extension is a popular procedure that helps to increase the length and give extra volume to the eyelashes. In addition, the effect created after the salon procedure lasts a long time. By resorting to such actions, you can get high-quality eye makeup and save time on daily eyelash enlargement using mascara.
What can not be done immediately after the procedure?
In order to maintain the original appearance of eyelash extensions throughout the entire period of their wearing, you need to properly care for them. AND if eye makeup after eyelash extensions is minimal, then the time spent on the care of artificial strands of hair attached to the upper eyelid may increase.
With improper or rare care, artificial hairs can curl, intertwine, come off, have an untidy appearance.
All these troubles can be avoided if necessary care is taken for glued locks.
A fundamental factor in keeping artificial eyelashes beautiful for a long time is following certain rules on the first day after the extension procedure. During the first day there are a number of prohibitions that must be observed in order not to spoil the appearance of the cilia.
- Keep your eyes closed for 20 minutes after the procedure. This time is necessary for the glue used to attach the locks to dry.
- Avoid contact with water.You can not wash your face, visit the pool, since the complete hardening of the glue takes place within 24 hours from the moment of application, and the water that has fallen can lead to peeling off part of the artificial locks.
- Use decorative mascara. The use of cosmetics and its further removal can also lead to peeling of cilia.
- Avoid bathing in salt water, cry, since saline can worsen the hardening of the glue.
- Dive into the water. During the jump into the water, the pressure on the dry adhesive will be very strong - part of the attached lock may peel off or become deformed.
Despite a number of restrictions, after returning home, extended eyelashes must be carefully combed using a clean mascara brush or a special brush with natural bristles.
This must be done so as not to exert strong pressure, trying to adhere to the direction in which the hairs on the upper eyelid grow.
By combing the cilia in this way, you can identify possible flaws and mistakes made by the master, for example: uneven indentation from the edge of the eyelid, the presence of hairs glued together. If such defects are identified, you can immediately contact the salon and correct them on the same day.
Features of further care after building
Artificial eyelashes require careful attention not only on the day of extension, but also throughout the entire period of their wearing. For so that the eyelashes retain their original splendor, do not tangles and come off, you need to follow several rules and recommendations.
- Do not use cosmetics, face care products, as well as make-up lotions based on oils. The essential oils included in the composition of such products will adversely affect the adhesive ability of the applied composition used during building up, to corrode it, thereby leading to the gradual unsticking of a strand of artificial hairs.
- You should regularly comb the eyelashes with a special brush to prevent tangles. Manipulation should be carried out at least 2-3 times a week. And if the artificial hairs are very long and dense, then you need to comb them daily.
- Do not rub your eyes much, as well as use sponges and cotton pads while washing your eyes. The procedure can only be done with a soft foam or gel without oil.
- It is not recommended to use powdery shadows, as they can crumble onto eyelash extensions during application or throughout the day. In this case, artificial eyelashes will have an untidy appearance.
- You can not use waterproof decorative mascara for makeup, since washing it off can not do without friction, which can ruin the appearance of cilia.
- You should monitor the position of the body during sleep. If during the night the eyelashes will experience friction against the pillow, then the appearance of the artificial strands will be spoiled. Therefore, while wearing eyelash extensions, you should sleep on your back or side.
- Refuse to visit baths and saunas, where the temperature is maintained. Hot water vapor will destroy the adhesive, causing the eyelashes to fall off.
Compliance with these requirements will help to extend the effect of the build-up for the maximum possible period. But even taking such cilia very carefully, one should not forget about timely and regular correction.
If the correction procedure is not completed in a timely manner, the eyelashes will lose their original appearance, will look untidy, some strands may peel off.
The first correction procedure should be performed within 1.5–2 weeks after building. A further interval can be increased up to 3 weeks. But the length of time through which you should resort to the correction procedure should be agreed with the cosmetologist individually.
