Eyelash extensions: the subtleties of the procedure

Beautiful and expressive look - it is an integral part of the image of many women. However, long and thick eyelashes are not given to each of us by nature. Using mascara can only partially solve this problem, especially if your eyelashes are not as long as you would like. False eyelashes sometimes look unnatural. But there is a solution - eyelash extensions. In half an hour in the hands of an experienced master you can become the owner of lush, curved eyelashes worthy of a movie star!

The process of eyelash extensions is not so complicated or scary: artificial eyelashes are attached to the base of your natural eyelashes. This can be done in two ways.

Bundle method. This is a method where a whole bunch of synthetic eyelashes (6-8 pieces) are attached to the eyelid. They can stay in place for a maximum of 10 days, but sometimes they don't look very natural and can fall off.

Crescent method. This is a more labor-intensive and expensive method, but the result is more natural and long-lasting. The lashes are attached to your own eyelashes one at a time. They look natural and last much longer (up to 3 months). For this method, specially treated mink fur hairs or synthetic fibers are used.

The length of artificial eyelashes can vary from 5 to 30 mm. Professionals recommend choosing eyelashes of medium length and corresponding to the color and curve of your natural eyelashes. If you want to create the effect of “cat's eyes”, then build up the eyelashes only on the outer corners.

The procedure of eyelash extensions is absolutely painless and takes a little time, but there are disadvantages. Extended eyelashes require careful handling: avoid crying, rubbing your eyes or using greasy creams for eyelids, so that they do not fall off. You'll also have to sleep on your back to avoid wrinkled and skewed lashes in the morning. If they do go bad, you will have to go to the correction, which will require additional costs.

You don't need to apply mascara to your false eyelashes, as they look great as they are. Be careful when applying and removing makeup, try not to hurt the eyelashes. The more carefully you treat them, the less often you will have to go to the correction.

Many masters claim that they use only high-quality, hypoallergenic materials. However, some women may be allergic to them.

Eyelashes should be removed only in a professional salon, as attempts to do it yourself can lead to unpleasant consequences.

Weigh the pros and cons, consult with an allergist, choose a reliable salon - and go ahead, for new eyelashes and an expressive look!
