Mink Eyelash Extensions

Thick long eyelashes give expression to the eyes, make the look languid, beautiful and mysterious. A simple eyelash extension procedure allows you to hide the lack of your own too small or rare cilia, and in case of their complete absence is a way out of an unpleasant situation. Mink eyelashes have several advantages, thanks to which they are quite popular.

The essence of the procedure is to supplement your own cilia with synthetic ones. Artificial materials are more often used in the work, since hairs made from natural fibers easily crumble, causing discomfort when exposed to the mucous membrane of the eye.

There are a small number of manufacturers of natural mink cilia, however, they are not very popular. The main disadvantages are the following points:

• natural hairs often cause allergic reactions;
• high risk of pathogenic microbes that can cause inflammation of the eyelids;
• high price;
• the aesthetics of the appearance is quickly lost, since natural villi are less resistant to external factors;
• it’s hard to work with them.

The structure of artificial hairs is similar to mink, but they are made from monofilament. The presence of additional components provides color saturation, gloss. The thickness of the hairs varies from 0.07 to 0.25 mm. The optimal length is 10 mm, but you can choose the longest, the value of which is 14 mm.

Thin villi allow you to create any volume. Synthetic hairs have different bends. They are created using special forms. The following types of curls of mink eyelashes:

• j - hairs are characterized by smooth lines, as close as possible to the natural contours, grow on a separate section of the cilia;
• b - represents a natural bend of hairs;
• with - medium-sized curl, makes the look more open and expressive;
• d - Large bend, looks impressive and more suitable for festive events;
• l - a strong curl, looks unnatural, resembles cilia of dolls.

In order to choose the right curl, it is better to consult with a specialist. It will help to choose not only the desired bend, but also a suitable volume, length.

Mink cilia are very popular, as they are universal. Any building technique can be applied to them. A prerequisite is only the good condition of their own hairs.

If your cilia are light in color, they are painted with resistant paint. Mink villi visually enlarge the eyes, suitable for everyday use, and for special occasions. To maintain aesthetics, it is necessary to regularly carry out a correction procedure, after about 3-4 weeks.
