Making eyes expressive is simple - for this, many use lengthening mascara with the effect of curling eyelashes. However, applying cosmetic decorative products requires a lot of time. Make eyelashes thick with a graceful seductive bend can be another way. For these purposes, a biowave was created. We will tell you what kind of procedure this is, how to perform it at home, what benefits and harm it brings.
What it is?
Bio-curling - a salon procedure involving curling eyelashes with specialized rollers and natural-based products. This procedure is in many ways similar to a biochemical wave. The difference lies in the means used. The chemical method involves the use of ammonia and other aggressive substances that adversely affect the health of hairs. When biowaving, more “soft” components are used that are not harmful.
To give a bend to the eyelashes, it is not necessary to contact the salon masters. You can do all the work yourself at home.
This way you can save significantly, but some disadvantages of independent “twisting” of hairs must be taken into account. For example, this will take more time, and without experience and skill, rarely is anyone able to achieve the desired result the first time. Most often in such situations, the cilia after the manipulations performed look unnatural or look messy.
Benefit and harm
Eyelash bio-curling is a cosmetic procedure that has both advantages and some disadvantages. Her benefit obvious - resorting to this technique, you can make the look expressive. This effect is achieved by curling the eyelashes, their "fluffing" and changing the direction of some hairs.

In addition, eyelashes after the procedure may begin to fall out - this often happens when a "inexperienced" master takes up the matter, or errors are allowed during the curling process. Cons also include contraindications.
Despite the simplicity and safety of the procedure, it has several limitations.
For example, her harmful to do pregnant and lactating women, persons with individual intolerance to one or more of the components included in the substance used for curling. The consequences for allergy sufferers can be sad - from itching to Quincke's edema.

Eyelashes can not be rubbed, wet, painted. It is recommended during this period, in general, not to touch the eyes.

These include the structure and stiffness of the hairs, as well as their update rate. Most often, the cilia keep bending for 4-6 weeks. In isolated cases, it lasts up to 3 months.
In any case, you need to consider that the eyelashes are constantly updated - the old ones fall out, and new ones appear in their place. This is a natural process that cannot be slowed down or accelerated. The speed of hair renewal is individual. When curled eyelashes fall out, straight ones will replace them. Over time, part of the hairs will remain twisted, and part - straight. Because of this, eyelashes will look messy.
To correct the situation, a correction is required in which the twisting is performed anew. As a rule, they resort to it after 1-1.5 months after biowaving.
How often can you do it?
Although eyelash bio-curling is considered a gentle procedure, it can subsequently adversely affect the appearance of hairs. To prevent this from happening, do not resort to the procedure too often. Experienced cosmetologists advise to curl eyelashes no more than 3 times in a row, and then give them a "rest". During this period, it is important to apply fortified formulations to the hairs. After 2-3 months, you can curl your eyelashes again.
