A deep look transforms the appearance of any woman. You can make it this way not only with the help of decorative cosmetics, but also thanks to the curling of eyelashes, which, by the way, is really possible to do at home.
Description
Eyelash curling is a painless and fairly safe procedure, allowing you to twist your own hairs and give them a beautiful bend. As a result, the cilia visually lengthen and become thicker, and the look is expressive.
Advantages and disadvantages
Of course, the advantage of any type of curling eyelashes is their visual transformation, even for a short time. Some varieties, for example, biochemical perm, allow you to save the result for 2-3 months, and no additional eyelash correction is required. Bending can be selected depending on customer requests.
Using a perm does not interfere with water procedures, visiting a bathhouse or using decorative cosmetics. A painless procedure takes place without consequences.
Nevertheless, some methods of curling can adversely affect the condition of the eyelashes, as well as sensitive skin of the eyelids. With improperly selected funds, there is a burning sensation in the eyes, irritation of the mucous membrane and other allergic reactions. In the case when a layman winds the cilia, hair loss can be expected. Chemicals in some clients may cause bristles to lighten.
Overview of Professional Procedures
Properly conducted professional procedures allow you to fix a beautiful curvature of the eyelashes for a long time.
Chemical
Perm has recently become increasingly popular with the fair sex. The final result is maintained for a whole month, or even more. Such twisting can be done once every 2-3 months.
Perm is carried out as follows:
- the hairs are degreased using a special tool, after which they are wound on miniature curlers made of silicone;
- then the cilia with the applicator are treated with a special chemical glue, they are left to soak for about 25 minutes;
- after neutralizing the gel, the result must be "saved" with a special clamp.
The silicone roller itself is a device that can be made in different sizes and selected depending on the length of the cilia and the shape of the planned bend. In general, the procedure takes about 50 minutes. This kind of curl is considered safe, and the gel does not irritate the mucous membrane, even accidentally in the eye. "Chemistry" can be radical, made on a curl or complex. Perm does not interfere with further wearing of lenses, visiting the sauna and applying makeup.
The only restriction is a 3-day ban on visiting the solarium.
Under permanent wave often implies the usual chemical, but with different contents of the kit required for the procedure. This implies other compositions of the gel and fixative. The rest of the procedure is carried out similarly - the eyelashes are laid out on the rollers and covered with gel, and after another 20 minutes they are fixed with a fixative. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to use a special balm.
Biochemical
Biochemical wave differs from the chemical used by the compositions for the treatment of eyelashes.
The drugs used in "biochemistry" do not contain aggressive components, and therefore can be used for customers with sensitive skin or allergies to the components of a perm.
Technologically, everything happens the same way, but after the procedure, the client has several restrictions. The first 3 days of eyelashes can not be wet even when washing, as well as covering with mascara. Moreover, a wave should be protected from high temperatures of both air, and water and steam. The result of biowaving is preserved for about 2 months.
It should also be mentioned keratin wave. The necessary effect is achieved with keratin, a protein that provides hair growth. First, the bristles are cleaned and degreased with a special composition, after which the eyelids are smeared with a special creamy substance. Next, the cilia are laid out on a roller, covered with a special gel, and then treated with a preparation containing keratin. The result is maintained for 3 months.
How to curl eyelashes at home?
In addition to professional perm, there is quite an affordable opportunity to use improvised tools and perform the procedure at home. Their advantages include budget and safety of use, and the main disadvantage is the short duration of the result.
Home methods can be combined with each other.
Thermal forceps
When using ironing, you can achieve a more noticeable and lasting effect. Another advantage of this method is the possibility of twisting the bristles already stained with mascara. Using the tool is quite simple - warming it up to the required temperature is enough to draw along the cilia, forming the desired bend.
You can curl eyelashes and using a special Ziver curling irondesigned specifically for home use. Using it is quite simple: the connected device warms up to the required temperature, after which the cilia are placed between the stop and the heater. Clamping the hairs in this position for 15 seconds, they can be released, as the procedure is completed.
With a spoon
Faster and easiest curl your eyelashes with a teaspoon, heated to a comfortable temperature. However, it is important to prevent overheating of the device, which will lead to burns of especially sensitive skin of the eyelids. The heated spoon must be placed horizontally on the upper eyelid along the line of hair growth. Next, mascara is used, when dyeing the eyelashes of which directly along the concave side of the spoon, the required bend is formed.
It is important that the size of the spoon matches the size of the eye, and the curve matches the curve of the growth line of the bristles.
Tool pheated by hot water or with a hairdryer to a level of degrees not exceeding body temperature, after which it is thoroughly wiped. You can curl with a spoon without the additional use of mascara - simply pressing the cutlery to the cilia and holding for 10-15 seconds. For a better curl, the pressed spoon should be carefully moved over the entire surface of the hairs. If, after curling one eye, the spoon has cooled down, then it will have to be warmed up again. To fix the effect, the eyelashes are twisted with a brush.
You can use a special rolling mascara. Again, this method is very fast to implement, but the most short-lived. Brush movements should be zigzag with a small load applied from the base.
An interesting solution curl cilia with aloe oilpossessing fixing properties. About 5 droplets of the substance are rubbed with the fingers, and then transferred to the eyelashes by pressing the bristles against the upper eyelid. After 20 seconds, the necessary bend will be formed, but the procedure can be repeated to enhance the effect.
At home, you can curl cilia with a tool called tongs. If you buy it in a specialized store, you can avoid brittle bristles during the process and ensure the highest possible safety. Before starting to curl, eyelashes should be combed, followed by placing them on a special roller and holding with tongs for about 20 seconds. If necessary, this process can be repeated.
Some experts, by the way, recommend that you warm the tweezers slightly with a stream of warm air or water before starting work. Cosmetics are applied to the eyelashes after curling.
A slight curvature of the cilia can even be given with hands. Warming your fingers on a radiator or under a stream of hot water, you need to bring the index fingers to the growth line of the upper eyelashes. Positioning them from the side of the inner corner of the eye, it is necessary to carefully bend the bristles to the upper eyelid and stay in this position for 15-20 seconds. The result is fixed with ordinary mascara.
Such a procedure can be carried out several times a day, but with mandatory observance of clean hands.
Instead of fingers, it’s possible to use cotton swab. Having painted the eyelashes with mascara and without waiting for them to dry out, it is required to bend the bristles with the tool to the upper eyelid.
It is important that the stick is located strictly horizontally and be in the designated position until the cilia are completely dry.
If the imprints of decorative cosmetics have remained on the eyelids, then they can be removed with the same cotton swab soaked in micellar fluid. Some craftsmen manage to carry out such a procedure with a toothbrushpreheated on a battery or using a hair dryer.
Result before and after
Customers performing various types of eyelash curls note that the most effective are bio-curling, perming and keratin straightening.
For example, in the photo of the girl who performed the biowave, a visual transformation is really noticeable. The appeared bend “opened” the gaze, visually lengthened the eyelashes and made them thicker. As the client herself notes, the result lasted almost 2.5 months.
Useful Tips
After curling eyelashes, you need to do their strengthening. Over the next weeks, every 2 or 3 days at night, the hairs will be lubricated with heated castor, almond, peach or burdock oil. In addition, the substance can be enriched with liquid vitamins A or E. A special vitamin balm for eyelashes is also suitable. The firming agent must be kept on the eyelashes for 2-3 hours, so it is more convenient to carry out the procedure before bedtime.
Another important tip for home eyelash curler using tweezers. The tool can only be purchased from reliable suppliers and manufacturers, as low-quality products can contribute to the complete loss of eyelashes. The tongs should have a special silicone lining along the bottom base.
It is important that this part is securely fixed and free from any defects. From time to time, tweezers should be wiped with alcohol or micellar fluid.
