It is not suitable for weakened eyelashes, because the weight of the beams and the load exerted by them can even further damage their condition. You cannot use the "Hollywood" technique on an ongoing basis. The reason is still the same - a big load on your own eyelashes.

The technology of Hollywood eyelash extensions is well known and quite simple in execution. All its stages are thought out to the smallest detail. Moreover, due to the use of beams, the procedure proceeds somewhat faster than the ciliary building. To work, the master uses:

• straight and special curved tweezers;
• hypoallergenic adhesive composition;
• individual eyelashes on a tape in individual packaging;
• degreasing lotion;
• crescent-shaped patches;
• antiseptic liquid for disinfecting hands and tweezers.

All these components are needed for both home and salon building. Without them, the procedure simply will not work. In addition, the lashmaker can use other accessories he needs.

Step by step technique looks like this.

1. Makeup is removed from the eyes. It should not be on the eyelids, and on the eyelashes.
2. The surface of the work area is degreased. Eyelashes should not have plaque, otherwise the glue will be poorly attached.
3. Together with the ciliary edge, a special protection in the form of adhesive tape is applied to the lower eyelid region. This is necessary in order to exclude contact of the glue with this area. Hypoallergenic patches are usually used, which fit well but do not cause skin irritation.
4. The master takes the artificial fibers glued to the tape and forms from them bundles of the right size with tweezers. The common tip of the collected hairs is dipped in glue.
5. With straight tweezers on the ciliary edge, we separate the desired element, moving from the outer edge of the eye towards its inner corner. The whole bunch is attached to this eyelash with glue. Fixation occurs at a height of 2 mm from the surface of the eyelid. The adhesive does not come into direct contact with the skin.
6. The master applies a fixing composition, contributing to the quick hardening of the glue. After that, the eyelashes are given the final shape with a special brush.

According to the classic Hollywood technology, the bundle is made up of 3-5 artificial fibers. With the correct execution of all actions, the client does not experience discomfort.

When building up in the Hollywood technique, masters pay great attention to the selection of raw materials. The material should be as light and thin as possible so as not to overload your own eyelashes. Among the most popular materials can be distinguished 4 species that meet these requirements and ensure the preservation of the effect of naturalness.

• Silk fiber. They have a glossy shine, very bright. On this basis, eyelashes can be safely dyed with mascara and make-up remover. They are practically not felt on the surface of the eyelid.

• Speakers. Affordable and relatively inexpensive material. The thickness of the hairs in this case does not exceed 0.1 mm. This is a good option for beginners.

• Mink fur. Only villi with a diameter of up to 0.15 mm are suitable, thicker ones look rough. This fur is good because it is quite light and thin, while working the hairs are not confused. The mink looks natural both in color and in gloss, it is universal for the implementation of different types of Hollywood extensions.

• Sable. It is considered an option for short-term creation of vivid images. It looks bright, but the fur is quite thick and rough. Suitable for theatrical, stage images for 1 evening.

When choosing glue, it is worth considering the products of brands Ardell, Dolce Vita, Salon Professional. They are well established in the global market, used in salons and by private craftsmen.

The eyelashes on which the Hollywood extension is made, the subsequent careful leaving is necessary. On average, depending on the number of beams used and their density, correction and removal are required no earlier than after 2-4 weeks. Exactly following the recommendations of the wizard helps to maximize the visual effect. In particular, the following is required.

• Protection against water for 1 day after gluing. 24 hours, eyelashes cannot be wetted, otherwise the fixing composition may not grab well. As a result, pretty soon the eyelashes will begin to crumble from the eyelids.

• Exclude for 3-5 days a visit to the sauna or solarium. Contact with high temperatures is not the best that can be offered immediately after building up. In addition, it is worthwhile to temporarily exclude the use of alcohol and salty foods to avoid swelling.

• Do not rub your eyes with your hands. For a while, it is worth abandoning cosmetic procedures that affect the eyelids and cilia, for washing use mild cleansing compounds suitable for application to the disc, micellar water will be the best choice. In general, the less the eyelash attachment area will be injured, the better.

• Daily comb eyelashes with a special brush. This will allow them not to get confused.

• Eliminate sleep on the stomach. You’ll have to give up your beloved pose for a while, otherwise the next morning all the results of the lab’s work will be on the pillow.

• Change greasy creams and other caring cosmetics to lighter ones. This will avoid a chemical reaction with glue, will help to wear lush Hollywood eyelashes longer.

• Carefully put on and remove contact lenses. It is better to switch to flexible options for a while to prevent injury to the beam attachment area.

• Inform the master in advance about some of the features of your health. When taking hormones, eyelashes can “sit down” differently. This is due to increased production of certain substances in the body. It is better to postpone the build-up or use it as a short-term solution.

• Observe the correction dates recommended by the master. In this case, annoying "bald spots" will not appear on the eyelids.

• To remove the extended eyelashes only from the master. Removing them yourself with tweezers or manually can result in personal injury. In addition, your own eyelashes will almost certainly suffer.
