Eyelash extensions make the look deep and expressive. They help the girl gain confidence and a sense of her own irresistibility. But the time comes to return to natural eyelashes, and what you have to see in the mirror scares many. It should be noted that not all eyelashes suffer after extension, just the contrast is quite strong. We’ll tell you how to restore them and how long it will take.
Reasons for the loss
The reasons for the deterioration of the condition of the eyelashes are different. Problems may include build-up errors, improper wearing or inaccurate removal of artificial material. There are a number of factors that you should be aware of in order to avoid negativity in the future.
- Often, eyelashes are damaged mechanically due to inaccurate manipulation of tools.
- Even a gentle adhesive base, which the master calls hypoallergenic, contains chemicals that affect the structure of the hairs.
- Adhesive removers can damage eyelashes.
- The problem is created by improperly sized artificial material. Naturally thin eyelashes cannot withstand voluminous extensions. Such clients are better off doing classics. The thickness of the hairs more than 0.07 mm will have a detrimental effect on their own eyelashes.
- An inexperienced master can glue the cilia in bundles, it will be very difficult to return them to their former state after removing the artificial villi.
- Careless self-removal of the extended material can cause partial loss of eyelashes.
Having attributed the artificial vegetation for several months, it is difficult to objectively assess the state of one’s own eyelashes, since their initial appearance is forgotten.
Therefore, experts recommend taking photos of the eyes before eyelash extensions and after, in one perspective and lighting.
