Features of volume eyelash extensions

Eyelash extensions is a beauty service that has long ceased to be rare and exotic. Every woman in a few hours can transform her appearance by simply changing the expressiveness of her gaze. Experts say that there are no standardized procedures, that building is always unique and requires an individual approach. And volume building is the same creative process with a subtle approach, adapting to the particular appearance and customer needs.

Eyelash extension - a technique for modeling appearance. Transformation occurs by gluing artificial fibers to natural hairs. Artificial hairs look like their own. Volumetric building sees as its goal not so much a change in the shape of the eye, the length of the eyelashes, but rather an increase in their volume.

In most women, natural eyelashes do not differ in saturated natural pigment, and they may not have enough volume. The extension technique allows you to create weightless volume without makeup effect. Eyelashes become fluffy, acquire a natural elegant bend. Masters attach such material that does not burden their own ciliary row. Therefore, eyelash extensions do not cause discomfort, do not require daily makeup, you do not need to get used to them for a long time.

The main advantage of building today - This is the use of hypoallergenic materials. This means that the procedure is suitable for all women.

The main contraindication for eyelash extensions - unwillingness to accept a new one. But such cases are few and those clients who come to the lashmaker usually still imagine what awaits them. Volumetric eyelash extensions fit:

• young girls
• middle-aged women (but the volume variant must already be changed);
• ladies aged if they are used to bright makeup.

Another important condition for building up - strong own eyelashes. Artificial hairs are attached not to the eyelid, but to their eyelashes. For this fixation to be reliable, own hairs cannot be very rare or brittle. Therefore, do not be offended by the master who sent the client to improve eyelashes.

Classic build - This is a method in which one synthetic one is attached to each of its hairs. In fact, it turns out double volume by the formula 1 + 1. It is not so striking as other variations of the building. The classic way looks as natural as possible, does not create the illusion of makeup eyelashes, so those around it rarely realize that the girl resorted to such a cosmetic trick.

Volumetric building assumes an initially exaggerated effect. A whole bunch of synthetic ones is glued onto one hairline at once. What the beam will be depends on the type of volume building. He is chosen by the client.

For successful volume building, the master must follow strict rules.

1. He must track the uniformity of the beam opening. From which it follows that between adjacent fibers in the bundle should be an equal interval.
2. It tracks the equality of beams. For example, if a beam of 2D volume with an opening of 2 mm is already fixed, then such an opening should be preserved for all subsequent beams. They can not differ in width, length, all this is a marriage of the work of the master.
3. Finally, the beam leg in a competent volumetric extension will be no more than a third of the length of synthetic eyelashes. For example, if a lashmaker formed a bundle of 9 mm, then his leg cannot be longer than 3 mm.

There are several technologies that create volume. Sometimes the classic extension is called the full volume, because an artificial one is attached to each of its eyelashes. That is, new fibers appear in all areas of the ciliary row. An incomplete volume, in comparison with the previous one, is an extension of only half of the hairs.

One of the most popular ways to build - 2D volume. This type of modeling involves gluing two artificial eyelashes to one real eyelash. The ends of the artificial fibers are directed in different directions. If the client wishes, the master tries to maintain the effect of naturalness, but other options are possible. This method is suitable for medium-thick eyelashes. Here are other options.

• 3D It is logical to assume that in this case a bundle of three artificial ones falls on one hair. Usually this technology is used by women who need to hide short and rare cilia. The look becomes expressive; both length and volume change. But on weak eyelashes, such a large "load" can not hold on. The difference between 2D and 3D is that in the first case, the thickness of the hairs is from 0.07 to 0.1 mm, and in the second from 0.05 to 0.07 mm.
• 4D (or Hollywood volume). On one of its cilia - 4 artificial fibers. Hypervolume, but there is no more naturalness in it.More often chosen for weddings, celebrations, photo shoots.
• 5D (mega-volume). For one natural eyelash - 5-7 synthetic. There are drawbacks to such a build-up: there is a big load on your own hairs. For the Russian (Slavic) type of appearance, such a density is unusual, therefore, the difference between the real picture and the received volume will be striking in the literal sense. But women have different requests, there are options even for 9D and 12D volumes, although they are not used for daily wear, but for some creative projects, shows, photo shoots, etc.

Whether the maximum volume is needed - each client decides for herself. The master should delicately advise her on the best option, focusing on the source data and, of course, on the condition of the eyelashes.

With this build-up, artificial fibers are glued at an interval, it can be either 1 hair or 5. With an incomplete volume, a partial build-up option is also possible in a certain area of ​​the ciliary row. For example, synthetic fibers are fixed only at the outer corners of the eyes, and ciliary volume increases by one and a half times.

Sparse build-up is becoming increasingly popular., because it allows you to adjust the existing problem as naturally and delicately as possible. Unlike hypervolumes, a sharp change in appearance does not occur. Very often, girls who previously adhered only to the maximum volume, switch to sparse building.

Bundles can be purchased and finished. For example, a basic set of beams is intended for training a lashmaker. Finished bundles are fixed on a special tape, where they are distributed along the length and thickness. While working, the master removes them from the tape, transfers them to the working part and fastens them with a natural hair.

Beam formation algorithm.

1. It is necessary to cut off the tape from the tape, stick it on a tablet covered with a protective tape.
2. Bundles are laid out on a tape. The master forms them from single hairs. This creates bundles of different volumes.
3. The specialist forms bundles in the heel.
4. The master lowers each finished bundle into glue, removes excess glue drops, the finished bundle sticks to the tablet.

A very interesting extension option might be colored bunches. For example, dark blue and dark brown shades combine wonderfully. The master usually fixes colored fibers on a site of an external corner of an eye. And there is also the option of fixing colored threads along the ciliary row. A competent master will create an elegant alternation of complex shades. The specialist combines the beams in size: the eyelashes can be of the same length, and with its growth to the outer corners.

Each master has his own kit, used by him in building. The basic elements in it are the same. What is included in this kit?

• Patches. They allow you to separate the upper and lower ciliary rows. Hydrogel patches make this perfect. Instead, special adhesive tapes can be used.
• Degreaser. Without it, it is impossible to achieve a lasting result. Only a make-up remover is indispensable. The oily layer should not remain on the skin, it will not allow the glue to work correctly.
• Primer. It neutralizes the remains of cosmetics, helps the scales of your own eyelashes to open. It enhances the effect of glue, because the term of wearing artificial eyelashes increases.
• Tweezers. Each set has prima and curved tweezers. The lashmaker holds a straight tweezers in the inactive hand, dividing natural eyelashes. In his working hand he has curved tweezers, he picks up synthetic hairs from the palette and fixes them to glue. The best tweezers are made of stainless steel.
• Glue. The pros will also cope with quick-drying glue, it is better for a beginner to work with a medium or long-hitch compound. The product must be anti-allergenic, absolutely safe.
• Hairs. They are called mink and sable, but these names are conditional, all eyelashes have a synthetic nature. Mink fibers are soft, dull, of small thickness. Sable - more dense and stiff, which allows you to create the effect of painted eyelashes. Silk cilia are made of black polymer thread with a glossy sheen.
• Remuver. It can be liquid, cream, gel. Liquid can only be cleaned; a gel-shaped remover is suitable for removing individual fibers. And in order to completely separate the artificial ciliary row, you need to take a cream composition.

This list will be supplemented with antiseptics, disposable gloves, micro-brushes, silicone styling brushes, adhesive backing, lashbox, etc.

The selection of the type of extension lies in three criteria - thickness, length and bending.

• Thickness. Small diameter eyelashes are suitable for women with their thin and sparse hairs. Fiber diameters of 0.15 mm already have the effect of painted eyelashes. An open and bright look gives a fiber thickness of 0.20 mm. The thickness of 0.25 mm is an extension for a special case, for daily wear, the hairs are unlikely to fit, they will break.
• Length. The interval varies from 4 to 20 mm. For those who are looking for naturalness and discreet results, it will be enough to choose a length of 4-5 mm for the lower eyelashes and 6-9 mm for the upper. But they take into account their own length of eyelashes, and the depth of the eye, and the shape of the eyes, and the shape of the face, and other points.
• Bend. For example, the C-bend makes the look open and expressive, and D makes the look more puppet-like, and the effect theatrical.

The extension technology is the same for all types. There are defining points, but the algorithm of the method itself is one.

The correct technique of building.

1. The client’s own eyelashes must be cleaned of cosmetics and degreased with a special product. If the master does not degrease the hairs, the glue will dissolve in the natural grease.
2. The master closes the lower eyelid with a patch or collagen mask.
3. With special tweezers, the lashmaker holds the beam, and its blunt tip touches the glue.
4. The second tweezers, the master pushes the hair away from the selected cilia and adheres artificial hair 1.5-2 mm from the skin of the eyelid. With volumetric building, a whole bunch is glued immediately.
5. Lower eyelashes can also be extended. Only the adhesive used will be different, since such an extension can only be done with open eyes.
6. The master processes the artificial fibers with a fixative.

The glue hardens almost in an instant, but only after a while will complete polymerization come. Lashmaker necessarily instructs the client on how to care for new eyelashes. The first few hours do not even touch them. The procedure itself is lengthy. So, incomplete building takes from 40 minutes to an hour on average. But for the 3D version, for example, you need at least 2 hours.

You can illustrate the above with examples of successful volumetric building.

The initial data is very modest, light and short eyelashes. Volumetric building will do without daily makeup.

If the eyebrows are framed correctly, they themselves are dark and thick, you can not be afraid of such a volume.

Classic example: the difference between the three volumes. In the first case, that the girl resorted to building, not everyone will guess. The second option already hints at the nature of the transformation, the third is chosen successfully in terms of shade and combination with the shape of the eyebrows.

Delicate build for the brown-eyed girl with thick dark eyebrows.

If you really want to lush eyelashes, this is how it might look.

A beautiful example of volumetric extension, the look becomes velvet.

And so they look color blotches in volumetric technique.

If your eyelashes are rare, extensions can give such a result. But first It does not hurt to undergo therapy to improve and strengthen hairs.
