The eyelash lamination procedure came to Russia from Switzerland several years ago and has already gained popularity among the female population. Swiss specialists were the first in the world who began to carry out such procedures. The laboratories have developed a special composition based on keratin with the addition of essential vitamins and nutrients, which strengthens the hairs, makes them long, manageable, and promotes their active growth. In addition, the first visible effect after the eyelash lamination procedure is a beautiful curved shape. This makes the look very expressive. You can repeat the procedure every two months.

Pros of lamination
Do not assume that this procedure is completely safe. Like any cosmetic intervention, it can have drawbacks. We know how the eyelash lamination procedure works. Now it's time to explore the pros and cons. First about the positive. What does the eyelash lamination procedure give?
Firstly, if there are no special allergic reactions, then the process of keratinization is completely painless, without unpleasant reactions and sensations. What else girls like is that you can immediately return to your normal lifestyle, go out into the sun, work or walk with children. Cosmetics can be used immediately even over the procedure. In addition, girls who have already tried all the charms of the procedure on themselves say that even after the first procedure, the cilia become longer, fluffier, thicker and stronger, fall out and break less often.
Cons of lamination
This procedure also has disadvantages. Insignificant, of course, in comparison with the result obtained, however, it is better not to violate these points. The essence of the eyelash lamination procedure is to strengthen and highlight the hairs. But do not expect miracles from her. If you have naturally sparse and short hairs, then miraculously they will not turn into thick and long “butterfly wings”. After the procedure, specialistsIt is strongly recommended to avoid getting water on the eyes and eyelashes. The composition that has been applied must be completely absorbed and fixed in each hair, and water helps to wash it off. It is recommended to refuse the process of laminating eyelashes for girls with very short hairs, as they can begin to bend in different directions.
If you have a cold like barley or conjunctivitis in front of your eyes, refuse the beauty offer. Visit a doctor, solve a he alth problem and then feel free to sign up for cosmetic procedures.
What are there?
Types of eyelash lamination procedures are divided into three types: modeling, treatment and coloring.
Modeling type is suitable for owners of long and lush "wings". As a rule, long stiff ciliary hairs stick out in all directions. Such ones are not able to be laid for a long time even by expensive branded mascara, which most often only aggravates the situation by adding volume or length. In this case, lamination is a salvation. After the procedure, the eyelashes acquire a beautiful shape, a seductive curve appears, the eyes become more expressive and brighter.
Therapeutic type of procedure is also quite common. In this case, the product does not include keratin. Instead, the composition is saturated with a large amount of vitamins, oils and various natural extracts. After the procedure, the eyelashes remain the same shape as they were, neither length nor volume is added to them. But due to the high concentration of nutrients, the cilia heal, look well-groomed, acquire shine. It is advisable to do this procedure after eyelash extensions, when the eyelashes, after wearing artificial hard materials for a long time, lose their elasticity, become brittle and are prone to severe loss due to a weakened bulb. For such eyelashes, lamination will be a salvation, but at least three procedures are required to restore their vitality and shine.
And coloring. The process is the same as for conventional lamination. But coloring pigments are added to the active substances. The shade is chosen by the client from several possible ones, according to their color type and hair tone. When choosing the color of the pigment yourself, remember that eyelashes and eyebrows should be one tone darker than the hair. This gives expressiveness to the eyes, and the eyes, as you know, are the mirror of the soul.
Lamination during pregnancy
Specialists will refuse to carry out the procedure for women expecting a baby. At first glance, it may seem that it is incapable of causing any harm, but doctors also recommend that you refrain and go to the salon after a certain time after the birth of the child.
The bottom line is that the process of laminating eyelashes is directly related to the mucous membrane of the eye. And she, as you know, is an excellent conductor of viruses and all kinds of foreign chemicals. In this regard, absolutely any component can be transmitted to the whole body and the child.
In addition, during pregnancy, the hormonal background changes, body changes occur, as a result of which some of the componentscomposition may simply not work. As a result, money will be thrown to the wind and the mood will be spoiled. Yes, and it is not known how the eyelashes will behave: they may not take a new shape: instead of twisting, they remain straight. Or take the keratin composition unevenly and color unevenly.
Botox for eyelashes
Another interesting procedure for eyelashes is Botox. It differs from lamination by the content of botulinum toxin and a number of additional components: collagen, panthenol, argan oil. This procedure makes eyelashes longer, more obedient, reduces loss. Eyelashes grow better, gain elasticity and shine. The procedure is a little more complicated than lamination, and experts advise doing it only in the salon. One of the best qualities of lamination is that after the procedure you can immediately take a bath, shower, go swimming in the pool or bask in the bath. Botox is not afraid of water.
Reviews
As for the reviews about the eyelash lamination procedure, then the women were divided into two camps. Satisfied with the procedure is much more, of course. Those to whom the beauty complex did not bring results are recognized that they made mistakes in the procedure.
Cost of procedure in salons
Lamination of eyelashes is an innovation in the field of cosmetology, therefore it refers to expensive services. The average cost varies from two thousand rubles in the middle class cabin. In luxury beauty salons, the price can be several times higher. Also, the cost of procedures is strongly influenced by the quality of the materials used and the season.
As for the season. When planning a procedure, it should be taken into account. The price jump is observed in summer, when it is hot and the use of a large amount of cosmetics in some regions is not possible. Trips to the sea also do their job, where, firstly, the mascara does not last long, it is washed off, and secondly, in hot sunny weather, you don’t want to paint your eyes at all. And I want to be beautiful. This is where the magical eyelash lamination procedure comes to the rescue. It's easier in winter. However, in regions where frequent blizzards and snowstorms are common, lamination is increasing in popularity as snow gets in the eyes and smears the mascara.
