Probably, each of us is dissatisfied with ourappearance. Some have small breasts or a long nose, thin hair or excess weight. Even the most irresistible beauties find many flaws in themselves. However, thanks to the development of cosmetology, there are no unsolvable problems today. The complexion can be refreshed with a mask or foundation, short nails become longer in the hands of a skilled master, artificial strands will help "grow" lush hair, even thin eyelashes are not a sentence. Do you want to solve this problem? Then do extensions. But before agreeing to the procedure, weigh all the "pros" and "cons", because in order for the effect to be truly stunning, you need, firstly, to choose a good specialist, and secondly, to properly care for artificial hairs in the future. Only in this case will this event be successful!
Who can and who should not do this procedure
To ensure that eyelash extensions hold well andlook beautiful, you need to find an excellent master. But sometimes even the most skilled specialist, having done the job one hundred percent, will not be able to guarantee you long-term wearing of eyelashes. So in some cases it is better to refuse the procedure, so as not to waste either time or money. It is believed that the glue that is used for extension is harmless to the mucous membranes of the eyes. However, the resin included in its composition can cause allergies in some people. To protect yourself from the occurrence of inflammatory processes, ask your master to glue a couple of pieces of artificial eyelashes. Walk around with them for 24 hours, and if no deviations occur, feel free to go to the salon. Another contraindication is infectious eye diseases. In this case, the procedure can only aggravate the problem, so postpone it until complete recovery. If you have weakened, fragile eyelash bulbs, then they will not be able to withstand artificial fibers, which will fall out in two or three days, at best - within a week. You don't want "bald spots" on your eyes, do you? It's also better for girls with increased fat secretion on their eyelids to refrain - the eyelashes will not hold. There is no exact answer to the question of whether extensions are safe. This is absolutely individual: each person's body reacts differently to both adhesive substances and the artificial fibers themselves. Some people's eyelashes subsequently remain the same as before, do not break and grow well, while others, on the contrary, become weaker. But - beauty requires sacrifice! Therefore, if you want to tame men with just one look, it is worth the risk. Consult with friends, read reviews of salons and choose the right one. Also, do not forget to look at the certificates for the materials that the cosmetologist uses in his work.
What to do after?
So, you decided to go through the procedure, everything went well.successfully, what next? In order not to spoil the master's fine work, you need to know a few subtleties. Under no circumstances should eyelashes be wet for two to three hours after extension, and steam baths should not be used in the first two days. Only after the resin has set can you safely wash your face. By the way, to prevent it from dissolving and to make the effect last longer, do not use greasy, thick creams. You will have to get rid of the habit of rubbing your eyes forever. Now you can touch them only in the morning and evening, when washing off your makeup. Otherwise, all your efforts will go down the drain. It is also recommended to put the waterproof brasmatic in the farthest corner: makeup removers contain a lot of fatty substances, as well as amino acids, which negatively affect the glue. There will be no trace of the fluffy miracle in a couple of days. Extended eyelashes look very impressive, so it is absolutely not necessary to use mascara. If you want to keep them as long as possible, it is better not to do this at all. Also, forget about curling irons. Why do it if the artificial fibers are already curled up enough? Use a cleansing gel or special lotion to remove eye makeup. Avoid contact with sea and chlorinated water - these are now your main enemies. In order for beautiful fluffy eyelashes to please you for a long time, you will have to forget your favorite sleeping position - face to the pillow. Lie on your back or side, otherwise all the beauty will fly away like autumn leaves.
Recovery procedures
Eyelash extensions can be worn for about threemonths. The main thing is to do the correction on time (every two weeks), otherwise you risk walking around with bunches sticking out in different directions. If you decide to return to the original look of the eyelashes, do not remove the extensions yourself under any circumstances. A special product is used for this - debonder. Of course, if you have it, after consulting with your master and carefully reading the instructions, you can do it yourself. But it is better to trust a specialist: he will remove the artificial ones with maximum care, without any losses for natural hairs. You want to remain as beautiful as before, right? No matter how safe the extensions are, after this, natural eyelashes (as well as nails, hair) still become different from before. During removal, their ends can break, which causes loss of length and thickness. But there is always a way out! We will tell you about several ways to restore your former beauty. Regular castor oil, which is sold in every pharmacy, will help restore eyelashes. For four weeks, apply a few drops to a cotton swab every day (preferably before bed), and then rub into the hair roots with massage movements. Then hold for about ten minutes and rinse. If you have not found such a product, replace it with almond or olive, linseed or peach oil. You can even make a cocktail of three components - in a short time it will return the length and volume. Fish oil will also work: it should be used in the same way as the above-mentioned drugs. Along with such procedures, it would not be superfluous to take a course of vitamins (C, A, E, B). If you want to be beautiful and healthy, watch your diet. Eat milk, liver, sour cream, vegetables, eggs and fresh tomatoes. Have not seen results, eyelashes continue to fall out? Then try another method of treatment. To do this, make the following mixture: put one tablespoon of burdock and sea buckthorn oil and the same amount of crushed rose hips. Keep in a dark, cool place for about ten days, strain and lubricate the roots of the eyelashes every day. Use a regular brush from an old mascara, rinse it well, then drop a little of the medicinal solution on your finger and apply it to the hairs. Comb them in this way: from the base to the ends on the upper eyelid, and then from below. Wash the brush with soap after each procedure. There are other folk remedies that can help restore your former beauty. For example, a decoction of nettle: take dry grass, pour hot water over it and let it brew for a while (about half an hour). Then strain, cool and, moistening cotton pads, apply them to your eyes. Green tea also has excellent medicinal properties: make compresses at night, brewing it for about ten minutes.
