Flaws
Among the many advantages of artificial eyelashes, there are some disadvantages. You should know about them in advance if you decide to undergo a beauty procedure. Eyelashes will last you much less time if you wear contact lenses, because you will constantly touch them. In this case, the correction will have to be done much more often.

Building techniques
Before deciding what form to increase eyelashes, you need to understand what types and techniques exist. You can be offered piece, beam, volume, eyelash extension, as well as 3D and 2D volume. Different schools offer techniques with completely different names. You may hear about the existence of Hollywood, European or Japanese extensions. These names mean nothing to the client. You need to know that experts distinguish only two extension techniques: volume and piece. And the variety of other names is just a successful marketing ploy.
Nevertheless, let's talk about the different names of the techniques to understand what they are:
- Japanese extension. This type consists in the fact that one synthetic hair is glued to one natural one. Another name for the technique is eyelash. Beauty salons offer eyelashes made of silk, sable and mink. What will be the bend of the eyelashes and their length depends on the desire of the client. Most often, long hairs are glued at the outer edge of the eye, and short ones - in the corners.
- American extension. The difference between the technique and the previous one is only in the materials used. The most commonly used rubber and silicone eyelashes. Their advantage is moisture resistance and excellent tolerance to temperature changes. With such eyelashes, you can safely swim in the sea, pool or visitbath.
- Indonesian extension. The essence of the technique is that a special adhesive composition with a vitamin complex is applied to each hair, due to which the roots of the cilia are nourished and strengthened.
- Volume buildup. The essence of the method is that you can create a volume from 2d to 5d. In this case, several artificial ones are glued to each hair. For work, the thinnest materials are used, which allows to achieve the effect of naturalness.
- Beam extension. This technique is characterized by speed of execution. But these eyelashes do not last long. The procedure is carried out in small bundles, which are glued at a short distance from each other.
Types of extensions
The most popular types of extensions include:
- Extension of corners. In this case, the eyelashes are glued from the outer edge to the middle of your eye. Before the procedure, your own light hairs must be dyed, since mascara cannot be used after extensions.
- Incomplete eyelash extensions. If nature endowed you with long eyelashes, then you can add volume to them. In the process of work, synthetic fibers are used, which are selected in length to the native hairs. A small distance is made between artificial eyelashes.
- Full eyelash extension. The volume is achieved due to the eyelash gluing of hairs. This allows you to achieve the most natural effect. If the procedure is done well, then you will not have to do the correction for long enough.
- Extension in two rows. Usethis type of procedure can be recommended to bold and bright girls who want to make their look unique. This technique is also eyelash. But two artificial ones are glued to one own eyelash. The look is very impressive. This technique can be recommended to owners of rare eyelashes.
Eyelash curls
Artificial eyelashes can have a different shape, length, degree of winding. All this helps to create a new image. Different effects of eyelash extensions give completely different results. It only at first glance seems that there are no external differences. To obtain a curl, masters use special round objects that are heated to high temperatures. As a result, synthetic hairs are obtained, the length of which is about seven cm. After the cilia, they are filed and polished to make them natural.
Many women are wondering how to choose the shape of eyelash extensions? To make the right choice, you need to understand the nuances. Let's take a closer look at the types of bends:
- "J". This bend has a very small curl. That is, the eyelashes remain almost straight. This bend is used on a certain part of the eyelid to give the hairs a natural look.
- "B" - easy and natural curl. Apply this curve to create a natural look.
- "C" is a medium curl. This bend is more popular. Because it creates an open look. At the same time, the eyelashes do not seem artificial.
- "D" -such a bend is used to get a festive look.
- "L" is the strongest curve.
Effect Types
The end result depends on the lash extension effect you choose. We will give the main types that can be used for different purposes:
- Natural. This type of extension is also called classic, because with its help you can get the most natural result. A natural way to reshape the eyes by elongating them, giving them an almond shape or opening the outer corner.
- Discharged. This type involves the use of synthetic cilia of different lengths. In this case, certain intervals and order are used during work. This effect is often called "beams" by masters.
- "Cat's eye". This type is different in that it has a certain order of gluing hairs. Masters glue medium-length eyelashes from the inner corner to the middle of the eyelid, and then long eyelashes to the outer corner.
- Butterfly wings effect. Eyelash extensions in this case allow you to create a very mysterious look. And the hairs themselves really resemble the shape of butterfly wings.
- Fox and squirrel effect eyelash extensions. The latter owes its name to the arrows, which in shape are very reminiscent of squirrel tassels. As for the fox effect, it is used most often. More popular is only natural. Foxy is also called the eyeliner effect. But it is not suitable for all women, so it is worth choosing withcaution.
Types of volumes
The volume of eyelashes is achieved not only due to technology, but also depends on the material used. Density also depends on the thickness of the hairs. The thinner and more delicate the material is taken, the less thick the eyelashes will eventually appear. Thicker bristles allow you to get more volume. It is worth noting that the masters use eyelashes of various diameters in their work.
Customers choose, of course, not the thickness of the material, but the name of the category of artificial hairs: sable, mink or silk.
The most commonly used fiber volumes and diameters:
- Silk are the thinnest and most delicate villi, the diameter of which is 0.05-0.1 mm. They are usually used for eyelash extensions 2d, 3d. The classic is always relevant. With the help of silk hairs, you can create any volume and length. If we talk about the shortcomings of such material, then it is worth remembering its fragility. Such eyelashes can be easily damaged on the pillow during sleep. In addition, silk hairs do not retain a tight curve.
- Kolonik. Eyelashes made of this material are stronger and thicker. Their diameter is 0.1-0.15 mm. Eyelashes are easy to use. They are much harder to damage. Outwardly, they look very natural.
- Mink. The material diameter is 0.15-0.20mm. Such cilia are used for different types of extensions. Due to their thickness, you can achieve good volume. Mink hair perfectly holds any curve.
- Sable are the strongest and thickest eyelashes. Their diameter is 0.20-0.25mm. Such cilia can last long enough without correction. However, a decent weight does not allow them to be used for Hollywood or 3D extensions.
Lash length
The shape of the eyelashes and their length largely determine the final result. The beauty procedure is based on increasing the length of the hairs. How to choose the right length? To make the right choice, you need to consider a number of points:
- Minimum eyelash length is 5-8mm. This option is preferred by women who want a natural look.
- Average length - 9-11 mm. It is worth noting that such eyelashes are too pretentious for daytime makeup. But women of certain professions can afford them: fashion models or presenters.
- The maximum length of eyelashes reaches 12-14 mm. Outwardly, they will never seem natural. But they can be used for a specific occasion.
Choice for the shape of the eyes
It is best to do eyelash extensions under the shape of the eyes. If you first decided to carry out a beauty procedure, then you should find a good master who will help you decide on the material. Only a real specialist can make the right choice of the shape of eyelashes for your eyes. Do not forget that with the help of synthetic cilia you can correct the face. In this case, professional advice is indispensable. We will try to tell you which types of extensions are suitable or not suitable for a certain type of eye:
- Round eyes are greatlong hairs glued in the direction from the center of the eyelid to the outer corner are emphasized. In this case, the effect of the cat's eyes gives an excellent result.
- Close-set eyes. In this case, it is worth recommending the same type of extension as for round eyes.
- Wide-set eyes. To give the face a more harmonious look, most often, masters build up the longest hairs in the center of the eyelid.
- Asian eyes. In this case, this type of extension is recommended, which rounds the eyes. Usually masters build up the longest eyelashes in the center of the eyelid. In this case, the effect of the "cat's eye" is relevant.
- Eyes with an overhanging hood. This form is the most common. To give depth to the look, the masters stick eyelashes from the middle of the eyelid to the outer edge.
- Deep-set eyes. In this case, long eyelashes look the most harmonious, since they allow you to soften the superciliary arches. Outwardly, it seems that the eyes move forward a little.
- Eyes with raised corners. You can emphasize natural features with the help of a fox effect.
- Eyes with lowered edges. This form needs to be corrected. The outer edge of the eye should be raised. In this case, the squirrel effect technology will help. In addition, the outer corners of the eyes need to be decorated with more curled eyelashes.
- The easiest way for masters to work with almond-shaped eyes. They are suitable for any form of eyelashes and extensions.
- Protruding eyes can be softened with a fox effect. This will allow them to stretch slightly andmake the face soft. The longest hairs in this case grow along the outer edge.
How long does the effect last?
Every woman wonders how long lashes will last. This parameter depends on many factors. A very important point is the skill of the specialist and the quality of the materials. In addition, there are individual characteristics of a person that determine the duration of wearing eyelashes. Someone comes for correction in two weeks, and someone - in four. On average, eyelashes last three weeks. It is worth noting that the complete renewal of the hairs normally occurs every 6-9 weeks. But for various reasons, these terms can be much shorter.
It depends on the following conditions:
- Individual characteristics of your body.
- Hair renewal rate.
- Oily skin significantly reduces the wear time of eyelashes.
- Improper care is the main reason why you have to use correction often.
- Mechanical damage. If you notice that your eyelashes are falling off on one side, it means that you damaged them while sleeping or rubbed them with your hand.
- Weak lashes are not the best base for extensions.
- Do not use fatty milk or two-phase liquids for make-up removal. The best option is micellar water.
Negative Consequences
Knowing what forms of eyelash extensions are, you can easily choose the right option for yourself. However, it is very important to find a goodmasters. Do not forget that eyelashes are part of your eyes, the he alth of which is very important. Sometimes it happens that your own eyelashes become very thin after extension. This is due to the fact that too large a load has been selected. In this case, the eyes need rest. To do this, remove the artificial eyelashes and wait until your own hairs regain their previous structure. For recovery, it is recommended to use burdock oil.

The most common cause is an individual intolerance to the adhesive or material, as well as the use of unclean tools. In this case, it is necessary to remove the artificial eyelashes and consult a doctor. However, all possible problems can be avoided if you contact a good specialist. When choosing a master, pay attention to the reviews about him and the recommendations of your friends.
