Long thick eyelashes make the look more expressive. Nature does not reward every woman with such wealth, but fortunately cosmetologists come to the rescue. A special procedure allows you to build eyelashes for a long time. They are given the desired length, density, bend. This saves the fair sex from daily makeup, allows you to look irresistible at any time of the day and under any conditions.
However, to keep the result of the procedure as long as possible, it is necessary to adhere to some rules. The most important conditions include eye protection from excessive exposure to moisture. Let us consider in more detail whether it is possible to moisturize eyelashes and why there are restrictions.
Features of the extension procedure
The procedure of building in the cabin today is very popular. The principle is simple. With the help of special glue, artificial eyelashes are attached to the real ones. Depending on the selected technology, this is done individually or in bunches. The process takes a lot of time (at least 2 hours).
Due to the complexity and price of consumables, such a procedure is not cheap. Therefore, every beauty wants the effect to last long. In addition, not every woman has time for frequent visits to the salon. Meanwhile, the loss of some artificial eyelashes noticeably spoils the impression of the image. Therefore, in case of peeling off the material, it will not work to postpone the trip to the master.
After the procedure Beautician necessarily instructs the client about the features of caring for the acquired beauty. It is not recommended to sleep with your face in the pillow. Do not rub your eyes with your hands or a towel.Any mechanical effect can adversely affect the material, cause deformation or even loss of artificial eyelashes. And also oily compounds should be excluded from use, use only special mascara.
Do not ignore the special brush comb. With its help, you need to comb the extended hairs to prevent their tangling.
One of the recommendations concerns the effects of water. As already mentioned, a special glue is used during the procedure. In order for the artificial hairs to be firmly fixed, it is necessary that the adhesive composition is completely dry and polymerized. therefore on the first day after the procedure, it is necessary to protect the eyes from moisture.
Ideally, a day should pass. But the first few hours are considered the most critical. During this period, you can not wash your face, be in places with high humidity. Not recommended and cry. Tears can dissolve the glue, and the result of the work of the master will be lost.
If, for reasons beyond your control, water gets into your eyes, immediately gently pat them dry with a clean paper handkerchief or napkin and allow to air dry completely. If your exposure to moisture was short-lived, you may be able to maintain your beauty. In no case can you rub your eyes, otherwise the hairs will peel off. If after visiting the master you feel discomfort on the mucous membranes and eyelids (dryness, burning, itching) or your eyes involuntarily watery, it is undesirable to try to rinse them with water or use some drops. It is better to consult a doctor immediately.
It is possible that the procedure was carried out poorly. In this case, the glue could get on the skin of the eyelids or in the eyes and cause irritation and an allergic reaction. Your doctor will give you recommendations for restoring your health. Eyelash extensions, however, may have to be removed for a while.
Of course, do not peel off artificial hairs on your own in order to avoid trauma to delicate tissues and your own eyelashes. The process of removing material also requires a professional approach and a special technique, so for this you need to contact the salon.
Basic rules and recommendations
First of all, it is worth noting caution in visiting a bath or sauna. If possible, it is better to exclude such a pastime from your leisure. If you cannot live without it, you need to wait at least 2-3 days after the procedure before visiting such a place. You should also adjust the temperature of the steam room.
It is important to understand that the increased air temperature in combination with an impressive level of humidity provokes chemical processes in the adhesive composition that holds the artificial hairs. Even if you don’t start losing eyelashes immediately after the first visit to the sauna, in general, their wearing time will be significantly reduced.
On the sea
Many women stick luxurious eyelashes before the holidays. This can be understood. In hot southern climates, daily makeup may be inconvenient. The building procedure allows you to have a stunning look on the beach, and by the pool, and at a party in a hotel or local restaurant.
At the same time, the question arises - how to limit the effect of moisture on the eyes, if relaxing by the sea involves swimming. First of all, you should think about precautions before the procedure. It is important to inform the master that you are planning a trip soon. In this case it is better to choose the method of ciliary growth. This technology guarantees more durable result.
In the case of peeling off the material, the hairs are lost individually, which is almost imperceptible. If you grow eyelashes in bunches, the loss of one of them will be striking. This should be remembered, because it is not always possible to make a quick correction on a sea vacation, and an imperfect appearance can ruin your mood for the rest of your vacation.The procedure is best done a few days before departure. The best option is 3 days before the vacation. This period is enough for the adhesive to dry completely, and you could immediately fully enjoy your rest upon arrival at the place.
However, masters do not advise diving into the sea with their heads. The fact is that sea salt water affects the glue even more negatively than ordinary pure liquid. Salt softens it, causing hair to peel off. To minimize the risk of rapid loss of artificial eyelashes, it is better to swim calmly, keeping your head above the water. And also it is worth avoiding stretches of the sea with noisy companies and children so that water splashes do not accidentally get on your face.
If you plan to dive, be sure to purchase special waterproof goggles for swimming. Ideally, they are best worn even just by going into the water, although it is unlikely that a woman will like this prospect. If you can’t avoid getting water on your face, gently pat it with a cotton towel.
If sea water fell on the eyelashes in large quantities, it is advisable to carefully rinse the eye area with plain water (preferably boiled).
In the pool
The pool is a good alternative. If there is a choice, it is better to swim not in the sea, but in a pristine artificial pond. There is no salt, although bleach may be present. Therefore, after bathing, it is advisable to gently wash with clean boiled water and pat your face with a napkin.
Of course, before the first visit to the pool should wait 2-3 days after building. And also do not spend more than an hour in water.
In the shower
Daily hygiene is a must. One day after the procedure, you can take a shower. The main thing is to be careful. Do not direct a stream of water in the face and do not stand under a shower head with a head. If possible, it is better to wash your hair under the tap, tilting it down and preventing moisture from entering your eyes. If this does not work, you need to wash your hair in the shower as quickly as possible, throwing your head back.
After a shower, your face is blotted with a soft towel or paper towel. The hair is immediately dried by a hairdryer so that wet locks do not fall on the face. After drying, the eyelashes are combed.
Cleansers
It is better to wash your face no more than 2 times a day. It is advisable to do this with cool boiled water. Hot liquid can adversely affect eyelash fixation. The same can be said about hard chlorinated water. Use soap is not worth it.
Give preference to light non-greasy foams and sulfate-free gels.
As already mentioned, You can not rub your face with a towel. Carefully soak it. Dry eyelashes are combed twice a day. In extreme cases, you can do this 1 time.
Do not use makeup remover oil. When making face masks, you need to exclude the area around the eyes. Remove formulations from the skin with a damp cloth. Wash off the mask with water, typing it in the palm of your hand and immersing the face in liquid, is also not recommended.
