The natural effect of eyelash extensions

Luxurious long and thick eyelashes have always been the subject of female pride, adoration and envy. And today, modern cosmetology with the help of the extension procedure is able to help girls make their dreams of magnificent framing of eyes a reality. Many different performance techniques have appeared, but the most sought after service is the natural effect of eyelash extensions.

The essence of the procedure is to attach artificial hairs of the desired characteristics (curvature, thickness, length) to the real eyelashes of the client. Joining in using a special adhesive composition.

The procedure is carried out by lashmakers, cosmetologists, makeup artists. A good specialist will choose the right method of building and create the desired image, taking into account the wishes of the client and the features of the face structure. A high level of skill allows you to grow eyelashes so high quality that they look not only beautiful, but also absolutely natural for others.

There are different performance techniques, but the most popular and classic way is eyelash extensions with a natural effect. Its essence is the selection of hairs that do not differ much from natural ones.

Such an extension is also called classic in another way. The secret is that human natural eyelashes differ in their length, as they grow unevenly. For this reason, different hairs are used here for greater naturalness.

Shortened bristles are glued to areas at the inner corner of the eye and at the outer edge, and longer material is attached closer to the middle. The result is as natural as possible. It looks beautiful at any age, especially on girls of a light color type.

True, there are some contraindications to this cosmetic procedure. It:

• colds and inflammatory processes;
• tendency to conjunctivitis;
• allergic to the material used, primer or glue;
• oily skin.

The desired result depends on many factors, but the most important thing is what materials are used in the work.

• Silk. These are the thinnest and softest eyelashes, as similar to natural ones as possible. Do not burden the eyelids. They have a thickness of 0.07 to 0.14 mm. Ideal for creating a natural effect.
• Synthetics. Shiny hairs made of polymer hypoallergenic fiber with a choice of colors.
• Sable. Elastic and harsh bristles with shine. They have a thickness of 0.21 to 0.3 mm. They look pretty pretty, but hold on for centuries weaker than others. Do not break and do not bend.
• Mink. These are quite thick and dense hairs of deep black color, have a thickness of 0.15-0.2 mm. They are used to create the effect of painted eyes. An ideal find for an evening look.
• Speakers. Bristles with average characteristics, but are not in great demand among women.

In the classic building apply fibers up to 10-12 mm in length for the outer edge and 5-6 mm for the inner corner of the eye. Sometimes, to give the eyelashes brightness and volume, even short bristles are allowed along the eyelid line. And the thickness of the villi in this method is preferred from 0.07 to 0.15 mm.

Eyelashes are glued with hypoallergenic glue. The most popular options are black and colorless. Dark glue is used for the eyeliner effect, and light glue is used to give greater naturalness. Brown is a little less common. There are other shades. Many girls like two-tone eyelashes - black at the base and colored at the tips.

The bend is selected depending on the curvature of the native eyelashes. To obtain a natural effect, models J, B and C are most often chosen. But there are other forms: SS - with an emphasis on density, D - to achieve a puppet effect, L - contribute to the visual raising of the eyelids in case of deep-set eyes.

The essence of this method is the ciliary attachment of artificial bristles. Depending on the desired result, it can be of the following types.

• Full. This is gluing hairs along the entire length of the growth of eyelashes. The angle, size and color of the natural vegetation are copied. The length of the eyelashes is significantly increased, but artificiality is not noticeable to prying eyes.
• Sparse. Here, the attachment of hairs does not occur on the entire surface, but only on separate segments. This method is suitable if the client’s native eyelashes are long enough, but they lack fluffy.

In general, in addition to the natural effect of building, there are other types.

• Puppet. It is characterized by the same length of bristles along the entire surface of the growth of eyelashes.
• Fox. With visual extension of the eye section in the horizontal plane.
• Squirrel. The emphasis is on the middle of the external third of the century.
• Feline. The length of the material used is increasing.
• Painted eyes. This technique involves the use of long and thick hairs.

And also there are the effects of "rays", "mermaid", "butterfly wings." And even Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. All these images can be obtained using various extension methods.

Each lashmaker builds eyelashes in his own way. But basically all experts adhere to the principle of wireframe technology. Its essence lies in the fact that one bristle is glued on one native eyelash.

The master begins his work by assessing the condition of real eyelashes, the structure of the eyes and skin features. He must also take into account the wishes of the client himself and, depending on all this, choose the desired execution method and materials used.

The necessary steps at the entry level are hand disinfection, preparation of tools and consumables. These are the hairs themselves for the procedure, the glue (transparent or black) and the container for it, degreaser, tweezers (curved), cotton pads, toothpicks, applicators for removing excess glue.

The algorithm of the build-up process consists of the following actions.

1. It is necessary to cleanse the face from makeup. The skin of the eyelids needs to be treated with a cleansing composition. And also hold a cotton swab with a degreaser applied on it along the eyelash growth line.
2. On the lower eyelid it is necessary to place a patch, paper tape or silicone applicator. On it, the center and direction of gluing are conveniently indicated. And also on the patch it is much easier to work with the upper eyelashes, following the designated extension scheme.
3. Prepare glue in a glass or plastic container.
4. Gently comb natural eyelashes in the right direction.
5. Take the artificial hair with tweezers, lower it half into the glue and connect to the native cilia, departing from the root 0.5-1 mm.
6. Repeat this manipulation with all eyelashes, avoiding them sticking to each other. Do not allow weighting over the centuries.
7. At the end of the procedure, apply a protective cream and gently comb new eyelashes.

For comfort the entire surface of the eyelashes is divided into sectors. On each site, hairs of a certain length are glued. The lashmaker starts work from the inner corner of the eye, then goes to the outer part, and at the end fills the remaining middle. The longest eyelashes stick there. That is, the emphasis falls on a point slightly shifted from the center towards the outer edge of the eye.

So that the eyelashes do not look disheveled and messy, they should have one direction. One length of hairs must smoothly pass into another. In one eye, you can grow from 60 to 120 eyelashes.

Each bristle must be glued separately, adhering to the scheme and direction. The length of artificial hairs increases or shortens strictly in proportion to natural ones. To give the effect of greater naturalness, the main parameters of the bristles (thickness, color) should not differ much from natural data.

The duration of the session depends on the method of building, professionalism of the lashmaker and the condition of native eyelashes. Usually with the classical method, it takes from 1.5 to 3 hours. If there is a violation of technology, there is a risk of growing artificial hairs inaccurately, and they may soon disappear. The quality of building should not suffer with the high speed of the wizard.

Building with a natural effect has several advantages:

• natural and well-groomed look;
• lack of harm to health;
• the opportunity to do without makeup - girls who will sometimes not have enough time in the morning to put themselves in order will especially appreciate it;
• lack of discomfort when worn - the lightest eyelashes are used in this technique;
• the ability to visually change the shape of the eyes;
• minimal damage to native eyelashes;
• combination with any form of face and eyes;
• long duration of wearing eyelashes.

There are also disadvantages that are more associated with the individual perception of a person than with the quality of the materials used or the level of professionalism of a specialist. It:

• the possibility of developing allergies (to hairs, glue, primer);
• loss of individual artificial eyelashes;
• negative reaction of the body (redness, burning, itching);
• a negative effect on natural eyelashes (artificial hairs, despite their lightness, create a burden on relatives, and they become brittle).

This option is considered universal. His goal is maximum naturalness. Before starting work, the master evaluates the shape of the eyes, eyelids, faces, the state of natural eyelashes, the color type of appearance and discusses the future result with the client. The method allows you to:

• create an open and rested look that is especially suitable for ladies of mature age;
• visually adjust the shape of the eyes;
• soften the shortcomings of natural vegetation - this is important for owners of light and rare eyelashes, because after the session they will become longer, and the desired volume appears.

The problem of closely spaced eyes will be solved by a technique with thickening of hairs at the outer edges. And with far-set eyes, emphasis should be placed on the inner corners of the eyes.

Curled long eyelashes with thickening at the outer edge will help visually lift the drooping eyelids. Representatives of Asian nationalities sometimes strive to create round shapes. In this they will help the "cat" or "puppet" effect.

The most beneficial classic looks on the owners of the correct features. But remember that with pronounced asymmetry, it is better to avoid extended eyelashes altogether. They will only draw special attention to the problem.

With proper observance of the extension technology, artificial eyelashes should last 1-2 months. But not everything depends on the level of professionalism of the specialist, the choice of performance technique and the quality of the materials used. The duration of the effect is affected by:

• adherence to eyelash care tips;
• Lifestyle;
• health status;
• hair growth rate.

Luxurious eyelashes as long as possible if you follow simple guidelines for caring for them.

• Within three hours after the end of the procedure, it is forbidden to allow water to enter the eyelashes. The glue should have time to solidify well.
• Even after this time, the face should be washed carefully, without mechanical impact on the eyes. Gentle and delicate movements.
• Avoid contact with artificial hair products based on oils and alcohol. They destroy the glue base.
• Decorative cosmetics can be used freely, but the mascara must be water-based. It is more easily washed off and does not stick together bristles.
• It is better to remove makeup with tonics or other water-based products.
• It should be remembered that baths and saunas negatively affect the condition of eyelash extensions.
• It is forbidden to sleep on the stomach, hairs are so injured. Only on the side or on the back.
• Try not to touch your eyes with your hands unnecessarily.
• Do not use eyelash curlers. They can break artificial hairs at the base.
• Every day, artificial hairs should be carefully carried out with a special brush.
• In order to remove eyelash extensions, you need to contact a specialist. He will remove them with a special paste that does not injure the natural vegetation. You cannot do this on your own.
• Correction must be carried out in a timely manner, such an operation takes much less time.
