Many girls emphasize and make their eyes more expressive with this simple procedure. But is everything so simple and safe? If you have already decided on this, you need to familiarize yourself with all the related information, and preferably start with the length of the eyelashes, which is most suitable for you.
Why is it important?
The length of eyelash extensions is a very important factor, one of the main ones that you should pay attention to when passing this procedure. Everything is very simple:
- it depends on how naturally and naturally the hairs in the eyes will look;
- long hairs can cause discomfort and pain in the eyes.
And also the length of their wearing depends on the length of the extended hairs.
The longer they are, the faster they begin to fall out, which means that correction will be needed much more often.
Types of eyelashes in length
The use of hairs of one or another length helps to achieve a certain effect and volume.
The length of eyelash extensions can be very different - from 6 to 20 mm. Of course, there are options from 20 to 25 mm. But such hairs grow only for a short time, for example, for a photo shoot. They can be worn for a maximum of 2 days, after which it is better to take off so as not to harm the eyes and natural eyelashes.Let's take a detailed look at each of the existing groups of eyelash extensions that differ in their length.
Short
Short are considered to be hairs from 6 to 9 mm. The minimum length is 6 mm. Such small eyelashes are closest in length to natural ones. They are used in the procedure when filling the lower eyelid or simply if you need to make the upper row of eyelash extensions thicker.
Hair lengths of 8 and 9 mm are directly laid on the upper eyelid.
Medium
This group of eyelash extensions includes 10, 11, 12 and 13 mm hairs. This is the most popular and optimal length of material for building. Such eyelashes look very beautiful, naturally. Plus, they will not harm natural cilia in any way, nor cause discomfort. This option is ideal for those whose native hairs are strong and well-groomed, have a length of 5 to 7 mm.
Long
These are considered to be hair extensions of 14, 15 and 16 mm. They are not recommended by professional cosmetologists for everyday wear. The longest eyelashes, although they create incredible volume, length and make the look especially expressive, quite brittle.
And also their constant presence is bad for "native" hairs.
Extra Long
Yes, there are also such eyelash extensions - more than 17 mm. The maximum length of extra-long eyelashes today is 25 mm. Of course, no master will raise a hand to build such for everyday wear. The large and bulk mass of hairs grows exclusively for a couple of hours, after which they must be removed.
Before you go to the salon and eyelash extensions, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with information about them on the Internet or using any other source, see the table of eyelash sizes, their possible length, thickness and bending.
Combination with other parameters
In addition to the length of the eyelash extensions, you must also take into account their other parameters, such as thickness and bending.
Bend
This parameter of artificial hairs, as well as length, is responsible for how the eyes will look in the future. In modern cosmetology, 8 types of bends are used.
- J - choose very rarely. He is not very expressive, only slightly lifts natural hairs.
- B - looks as natural as possible, not very noticeable, only slightly lifts natural eyelashes.
- C is the most popular. If the building is performed by a professional, with the help of such a bend you can achieve an excellent result, correct absolutely any type of eye. It looks beautiful and natural.
- D - suitable for those who have their hairs sparse, straight, and the eyelids are overhanging.
- M - this can be preferred only if the "native" cilia are omitted.
- U - suitable for creating a very bright image. Such hairs are used to create the so-called “doll look”.
- L is ideal for those girls whose eyes are set deep or close to each other.
- L + - suitable for owners of the impending century.
- L ++ - will help visually adjust the shape of the eye and its incision.
Thickness
This option for eyelash extensions is different. The thickness of artificial hairs is from 0.03 to 0.25 mm. According to this parameter, eyelashes are divided into three groups:
- ultrathin - 0.03-0.07 mm;
- thin - 0.08-0.15 mm;
- thick - 0.16-0.25 mm.
When choosing the thickness of eyelash extensions, you also need to consider many factors, but first of all - the condition and length of natural hairs.
All of the above parameters, such as the length, thickness and curvature of artificial eyelashes, are important and related to each other. To achieve an excellent result, you need to take into account the opinion of the master who will conduct the procedure, and not just his own desires.
Selection tips
Earlier in the article, we determined that eyelash extensions must look as natural as possible. In order to achieve this effect, you need to choose the right length. So, When choosing the length of eyelash extensions you need to consider several important factors.
Face shape
The length of the hairs can emphasize the advantages and hide the imperfections of appearance. Each face is unique. Here are some tips from professional eyelash extension masters:
- oval face - you can use to build even the longest hairs, highlighting the outer corner of the eye;
- round face - medium-length artificial cilia, evenly distributed along the growth line of natural hair, are suitable;
- diamond-shaped face - extremely long cilia will look spectacular;
- a square face - for owners of such a face shape it is better to focus on the volume and density of the eyelashes, but in no case on the length - here long eyelashes will look ugly;
- triangular face - it is advisable to use not too long hairs.
Eye shape and depth
Eyelash extensions can both increase and decrease the section of the eyes. Here are some suggestions:
- for round-shaped and closely set eyes, average cilia along the length are suitable;
- deep-set eyes are best distinguished using long eyelashes;
- convex eyes will look beautiful and natural if when building apply material with a maximum length of 6 mm.
The condition of natural eyelashes
If your cilia are not very thick and short, then it is very risky to grow long and thick hairs on them. There is a chance that the look will not be expressive - artificiality will be visible, and your eyelashes will suffer.
The purpose and period of building
For what purpose, and for how long eyelashes are built up is a very important factor. If the building is short-term, for example, for some kind of celebration or photo shoot, you can choose the longest cilia or even multi-colored. But for every day it is advisable to use cilia of different lengths, to combine, but their length should not exceed 14 mm.
Certainly it is best to carry out the extension procedure in a professional salon. Here you will be advised, a wizard will help you choose the right material for the thickness.
The extension specialist can easily select the most suitable volume and length of artificial hairs for the client.
And also do not forget about the material. It must be of high quality, otherwise there is a likelihood of allergic reactions after passing the procedure. A professional leshmaker must have certificates confirming the origin of the material. The better artificial hairs, the more expensive the extension procedure will be.
Now this procedure offers a lot of salons, it has been worked out and has an excellent result. Of course, this can be achieved if the client and the master make the right choice of all the above parameters.
