- Before using any composition or drug, you need to check the body's response to its components;
- with frequent curling, the eyelashes need to be nourished and strengthened, burdock, flax, almond and castor oil are well suited for these purposes.

- one of the main and most important requirements relates to hygiene, since the slightest oversight can cause infection in the eyes;
- the skin of the eyelids is very delicate, therefore it requires a cautious attitude;
- eyes should be tightly closed during curling, and pressure should not be exerted on them;
- during the procedure there can be no unpleasant and painful sensations;

Curling Methods
At home, you can try several curling methods.
Forceps
Many fashionistas have already managed to acquire tweezers for curling eyelashes. This device is also called a curler. The essence of using this method is that the eyelashes are clamped with forceps and extended. Previously, you can heat the tweezers with a hairdryer, which will enhance the effect and increase its duration.
The volume obtained in this way can last up to 12 hours.
Curling
The curling irons were replaced by curling irons. In appearance, this device is similar to mascara - it is just as compact and stylish. Under the cap is a brush that can heat up in several modes. The device is powered by finger batteries.
With a spoon
You can also curl eyelashes at home with a spoon. This method will require the use of a regular teaspoon. We heat it in hot water and wipe it with a clean towel or napkin. Take a spoon in the right or left hand, depending on the eye on which the curl will be performed.
We hold the cutlery parallel to the face so that the convex part is near the skin of the movable eyelid. With your thumb, we press the hairs to the warm edge of the spoon and pull them up together with the cutlery.
Now you can apply makeup in the usual way.
You can also put a spoon with the convex part to the eye and cover the eyelid. In this position, the hairs will be pressed against the bulge. The eyelid needs to be fixed for half a minute. During this time, it will be possible to twist the hairs. It remains only to apply mascara.
Cotton swab
Oddly enough, but with the help of a cotton swab, you can achieve a quick and impressive result. You need to proceed as follows:
- eyelashes are painted with mascara in the usual way;
- with a thin stick (the base from a cotton bud is ideal) eyelashes are pressed to the eyelid;
- in this position, the hairs are held from 25 to 40 seconds;
- remove the wand and fix the result, directing a warm stream of air from the hair dryer onto the cilia.
With fingers
Fingers can also make cilia twisted for a long time. A simpler and quicker way does not exist. You will need to follow a simple instruction:
- apply mascara in several or in one layer;
- warm your fingers and until the mascara has dried, we press the ciliary hairs to the upper eyelid so that they come into contact with the skin;
- in this position, the eyelashes are held for half a minute.
Some are more comfortable using palms instead of fingers. In such a simple way, you can curl your eyelashes by yourself for about 8 hours.
Ink
Carcasses with a twisting effect is not only a skillful marketing move. Such makeup products really exist, and they allow you to achieve the promised effect. They differ from ordinary carcasses with a special silicone brush with short and thick bristles. Such brushes were designed for curling eyelashes. Conventional plastic brushes are not suitable for this purpose, they have other advantages.
While using this makeup product, you need to rotate the brush by twisting the ciliary hairs. The procedure can be repeated several times, at the personal discretion of the girl. Wherein each previous coat should dry well before applying the next.
You also need to remember that from an excess of mascara, eyelashes can stick together.
Gelatin
Gelatin, to everyone's surprise, is also able to help change the curvature of the eyelashes. The effect can be compared with keratin lamination. For this method, you need to prepare a mask:
- gelatin in the amount of 10 grams is poured with water at room temperature and left for 40 minutes to swell;
- put the mass in the microwave for 4 minutes;
- cool the mixture and add 10 grams of hair balm;
- we clear eyes of cosmetics and degrease cilia;
- we roll up flagella from lint-free napkins and place them on the upper eyelids;
- close the lower eyelids with patches;
- we apply the prepared composition to the ciliary hairs and wrap them on the flagella;
- in this position we maintain eyelashes from 25 to 40 minutes.
Aloe juice
Aloe juice will not only help change the curvature of the eyelashes, but also saturate them with useful components, protecting against adverse external factors. Freshly squeezed juice, and industrial juice, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, will do. A drop of this product is squeezed onto a comb, which is then heated with a hairdryer. We press eyelashes with a comb to the upper eyelid, while the eyes should be tightly closed. After a minute of waiting, you can immediately use mascara. Fingers can replace the comb.
Useful Tips
Eyelashes, like any other part of the body, need appropriate care. In this case, the hairs will be healthy, thick and strong. Consider a few useful rules.
- Makeup must be removed at night. Mascara makes the eyelashes heavier and tougher, so you need to wash it off at night and allow the eyelashes to rest. Otherwise, the hairs will be weak, prone to loss and brittleness.
- Cosmetics must be of high quality and certified. You need to purchase makeup products in specialized stores or through official websites.
- Aggressive salon procedures, an example of which is building, should be performed as rarely as possible. They have a negative effect on eyelashes.
- Using primer before applying mascara allows you to protect hairs from contact with aggressive chemical components of a decorative product and saturate them with useful substances. It is better to choose keratin-based primers.
- Eyelashes respond well to combing and massage the eyelids. The use of vitamin E or petroleum jelly during these procedures enhances the result.
- Each person’s eyelashes are individual, therefore, they can also react differently to different methods of winding. Only by experience can you find your own method.
