Initiation into the secrets of eyelash extension
Before taking on such a responsible taskprocedure, such as eyelash extensions, it is necessary to understand some subtleties. Depending on the thickness of the hair and the extension material, the following types are distinguished:
- Mink;
- Sable;
- Columns;
- Silk;
- Silicone.
This list can include eyelashes fromnatural human hair. They are made through a special treatment. Such eyelashes are the most elastic and light, they will not weigh down the eyelids, will not create a doll effect. They can be extended even on very short and broken eyelashes without any harm. They are recommended for very weak and thin eyelashes, for which the extension procedure is contraindicated. "Mink", "sable", "kolinsky" - these are just the names of synthetic analogues. The fact is that each type has a certain thickness, coinciding with the thickness of the pile of a particular fur animal. "Mink" eyelashes are considered the lightest and thinnest. They are perfect for extension on thin hairs and help to create the effect of natural, unpainted, but fluffy eyelashes. "Silk" and "kolinsky" are slightly thicker than "mink", however, they are the most popular, as they allow you to achieve the result of painted eyes, which frees you from daily makeup application. "Sable" - on the contrary, have thick hairs and are quite heavy. They are suitable for owners of healthy, but rare eyelashes by nature. By extending "sable", you can visually correct the shape of the eyes, as well as give the look depth and expressiveness. Thus, having understood the varieties of eyelashes and determined the condition of your own, you can proceed to direct extension at home.

In order for the eyes to become the "center",attracting attention, about 50 eyelashes are enough. In this case, the volume will be incomplete, but natural. For a greater effect, you can use about 80 hairs. Based on the size of your own eyelashes, you need to select hairs of three lengths. Short eyelashes (for the inner corner of the eyes), medium (for the main part) and long (for the outer corner). You will also need glue made from natural resins. It can be black, which is used for dark eyelashes, and transparent - for light ones. It is important to buy quality products, preferably only in specialized stores or salons. You should not look for such "things" on the market, as there is a risk of ruining your eyelashes and getting severe irritation. In addition to the basic set, you will need:
- Curved tweezers or tweezers;
- Needle or toothpick for separation of eyelashes;
- Adhesive tape (paper);
- Vegetable oil;
- Wadded disks.
For greater convenience, you can prepare a glass or saucer into which you can “squeeze” the glue.
We begin to build eyelashes
Sleight of hand and a sense of proportion are the main thingsextension rule. Before starting the process, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the face and eyes from makeup. It is advisable to wash with soap, naturally, in order to degrease the eyelids. The next step is to "neutralize" the lower eyelashes. In order for them not to stick together with the upper hairs and not interfere with the extension, they need to be glued to the lower eyelid with adhesive tape. It is necessary to glue the eyelashes in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. It is important to alternate the length of the eyelashes. First long, then medium and short. To do this, use tweezers to take one hair or a bunch and dip the base into the glue. If there is a lot of glue, you need to get rid of the excess - run the eyelash along the glass or saucer. Then use a needle to separate the desired eyelash and glue an artificial one to it from above or from the side (between the eyelashes) at a distance of 1-2 mm from the eyelid. Extensions should be done carefully, constantly separating the eyelashes, preventing them from sticking together. In case of unsuccessful gluing, it is enough to wet the hair with vegetable oil and wait for some time. After that, it will be easy to remove, but you can no longer use it, you should take a new one. So, eyelash by eyelash, minute by minute, and the result will not take long to come. The main thing is to maintain symmetry. Eyelash extensions at home are very painstaking work that requires attention and concentration, as well as a sense of proportion and manual dexterity.
