Long, thick and dense eyelashes emphasize the eyes, making them more expressive. With them, the look becomes fascinating and sexy. Short lashes are something most women don't want to put up with. The beauty industry is ready to help solve this issue. Lamination of eyelashes is capable of giving hair density and a beautiful bend. Whether this procedure is harmful or beneficial is a question that worries many clients.
What is the procedure?
Short and sparse eyelashes are most often masked with mascara. But this method has many disadvantages. Ordinary mascara will not stand up to a trip to the pool or to the beach. And the waterproof one does not allow the eyelashes to breathe, weakens them, causing them to fall out.
Many chemical dyes and other harmful substances are added to the ink. All this negatively affects the he alth of the hairs. In addition, mascara cannot be on the eyes around the clock. In the morning you need to spend time on makeup. And in the evening it needs to be washed off. Otherwise, eyelashes and eyes can be appliedharm.
Lamination of eyelashes is a procedure that allows you to strengthen the structure of hairs, curl and lengthen them. The result obtained lasts for a long time. Eyelashes acquire a beautiful curl, shine and visually look thicker.
The procedure is performed using special formulations. From conscientious manufacturers, they meet all safety requirements and do not harm the hairs. Such formulations include cosmetic oils, vitamins, keratin, peptides and wheat protein extract.
