Among all the beauty procedures beloved by women, lamination and eyelash extensions are far from the last. This is because with their help you can achieve expressiveness of the look without the use of decorative cosmetics. However, these procedures are completely different: one is aimed at restoring the health of natural eyelashes, the other - exclusively on the decorative effect.
Many girls, accustomed to the pomp of extended eyelashes, consider the laminated to be too inconspicuous and are wondering if both procedures can be combined, and after how long after the lamination, you can build artificial hairs. Read our material and you will know everything.
Lamination Features
Lamination (lamination) of eyelashes - This is a procedure in which natural cilia are treated with a nutritional composition containing keratin. This heals and strengthens hair rods and bulbs, thickens them, and a special lamination technique allows them to also acquire a seductive bend and a dark color.
Eyelash lamination steps:
- the hairs are cleaned and degreased;
- a protective emollient is applied to the eyelids;
- put a special protector made of silicone;
- comb the cilia up;
- apply a nutritional composition designed to make the hairs thicker and longer;
- apply keratin composition to create volume;
- tint eyelashes (at the request of the client).
This procedure helps to awaken the “sleeping” hair follicles, eyelashes begin to grow faster, look healthy and shiny.
The visual effect that will be obtained is as if a girl had painted her eyelashes with lengthening mascara in one layer.They become long, dark, curved. Unlike extensions, laminated hairs do not look artificial. However, they are not so thick, and do not give the very effect of a dramatic look.
Care for eyelashes after lamination and extensions is also different. It is forbidden to handle hair extensions with oil-based cosmetics, for some time you can’t go to the sauna, bathhouse, solarium, to the beach, and, of course, you should unlearn sleep by burying your face in the pillow. Laminated cilia do not have these contraindications.
The effect of lamination lasts 1-3 months (the term depends on individual characteristics). Its extension is facilitated by the use of a special conditioner for eyelashes.
No correction needed (unlike building) - the composition itself will gradually be washed. If you liked this procedure, do it no more than once every 2 months.
Is it possible to grow artificial hairs on laminated eyelashes? The answer is unequivocal - no, it is impossible. This is because each procedure uses its own special compounds, and their combination can adversely affect the state of natural hairs and their roots.
In addition, the products used for lamination contain various oils that prevent the adhesive from “seizing”. In such conditions, eyelash extensions will disappear very quickly.
When can I build up?
Planning a visit to a lashmaker with the aim of growing cilia after the lamination procedure is possible only when the composition, which processed the hairs and roots, is completely washed out of the hair rods and bulbs. This will not happen before in 60-90 days.
Some impatient young ladies do not want to wait such a long time and literally in a couple of weeks they sign up to the master. Well, it will be wasted money, since the term for wearing extensions immediately after lamination of eyelashes does not exceed 10-14 days.
Contraindications
Both one and the other procedure have contraindications. Consider them.
Contraindications to the lamination of eyelashes.
- Individual intolerance to the components of the composition - an allergic reaction may occur.
- Recent orbital surgery.
- There is a mucosal disease, barley.
- Do not do to pregnant and lactating women.
- If you plan to grow eyelashes in the near future, then do not go for lamination. It is better to strengthen natural hairs before the procedure with oils (burdock, castor, coconut, grape seed) or special serum.
- Do not do lamination during hormonal fluctuations (menstruation). Wait and visit the master 3 days after the “critical” days.
- Taking birth control pills, as well as other drugs containing hormones, can offset the effect of lamination - it simply will not.
Contraindications to building.
