Eyelash extension is one of the most popular beauty services. It saves time in the morning. A way of transformation without any radical action. The gaze becomes more wide open, the shape of the eye may change slightly if the eyelashes are extended in a certain way. Many girls with a heavily overhanging eyelid are in love with extensions. And if we want our eyelashes to really please us, it is necessary to observe several important conditions that will prolong the wearing time.
Choose a competent craftsman
A good master is the key to high-quality extensions, beautiful eyelashes and long wear. He must have the necessary skills, quality materials and, ideally, invaluable experience. It must be understood that eyelashes for 300-500 rubles are made most often by beginners who are just gaining their experience. I have nothing against newbies, but I prefer not to take risks.
Of course, there are experienced craftsmen who make disgusting eyelashes, work carelessly, save on materials, chase speed at the expense of quality. Run from a master who promises you to build lashes in 1-1.5 hours. There are about 150-200 eyelashes on the upper eyelid, after all. Sometimes an experienced master can keep within 1.5 hours with thin eyelashes and classic extension, but the average time for a classic is 2-2.5 hours. And if you want 3D volume, it will take about 2.5-3 hours.
Do not drink alcohol before the procedure
Why shouldn't you drink alcohol before building up? I would like to say: "Have pity on the master who will work with you for 2.5-3 hours." After all, the master cannot work in a draft, airing a room or office, and who will be pleased.
But I will cite something else as an argument. After drinking alcohol, our body begins to get rid of toxins. And this removal of harmful substances can affect the polymerization of the adhesive. This means that there is a risk that the eyelashes will fly off faster. Do we need it?
Avoid building up at certain times
Masters refer to them: pronounced PMS, the first days of the menstrual cycle, treatment with hormonal drugs, colds and SARS. Jumps in hormonal levels can affect the reliability of eyelash attachment. Of course, it cannot be said that this happens in every woman. It's up to you to take risks or not. But the master must warn you about this.
As for the common cold - to build up eyelashes, when you have snot pouring, watery eyes are so-so occupation. You yourself will be uncomfortable. Watery or sore eyes will still interfere with a quality build. So get well first.
Proper hygiene of eyelash extensions
I was very surprised to hear once from a master that there are girls who believe that it is better NOT to wet extended eyelashes at all, so that they last longer. This is a big mistake! Lack of hygiene is a direct path to early eyelash loss and eye inflammation. Have you ordered conjunctivitis? Receive, sign.
Be sure to wash your face! Gently and carefully. Products containing oils will not work; they will dissolve the glue. Therefore, pay attention to the composition of your micellar water, makeup remover and cleanser. No oils or greasy textures.
Do not comb wet eyelashes
When extending, the master gives you a brush with which you need to comb the eyelashes to keep the bend and shape. After washing, be sure to comb them. But not right away! Gently blot them with a dry napkin, let dry and only then apply beauty with a brush. Do not neglect this rule if you do not want to reduce the wearing period of your eyelashes.
