Since ancient times, all the girls sought to have a seductive look, emphasized by luxurious long black eyelashes. Unfortunately, not every nature has awarded such a luxury, so over time there were more and more ways to make your eyelashes more visible and thick.
In addition to using classic mascara and extensions, which sometimes quite aggressively affects natural hairs, There is also a perm procedure. Let us consider in more detail all its features, varieties and possible consequences.
What it is?
Chemical (permanent) perm eyelashes called the procedure, due to which you can give additional volume to the eyelashes and tighten them, fixing for a certain period. For the procedure, special volume rollers are used, individually selected for each girl’s eyelashes, chemical components that provide long-term fixation, brushes for separating hair, as well as disposable attributes such as cotton pads, fabric patches, napkins and gloves.
The procedure is practically safe provided that all the rules for its implementation are taken into account, as well as the use of high-quality materials, which must be taken with special care, since in our time there are so many fakes that can greatly harm not only the appearance of cilia, but also health in general.
Varieties

Basal
With the root method of the procedure the roller is fixed as close as possible to the roots of the eyelashes, and curling is done only on a certain part of the hairs. In order not to damage the mucous membrane of the ciliary edge, as well as to prevent the composition from getting into the eye itself, special thick gel-based products are used.

For tips
For this type of curl, a roller is not used, and the basal ciliary space is not affected at all. The master works exclusively with the tips, twisting them and processing them with a special compound.

Combined
