Any girl wants to see long cilia in the mirror, with a wave of which you can immediately defeat any man. Someone smears them with means to accelerate growth, someone buys all the lengthening carcasses, someone glues bundles. Today's technologies of the beauty world allow girls to get eyelashes of their dreams in a short time. If there is no desire or opportunity to go to the salon, you need to find out what is needed for eyelash extensions. The list of materials needed for the procedure will help you easily choose what you need in a specialized store.
Necessary materials
First of all, it is worth deciding where to buy tools: a real store or its online analogue? Then you need to find out what you need for eyelash extensions. The list of materials, in fact, is not as long as it might seem.
The number of tools does not depend on what level you are doing the procedure. Do you grow eyelashes on your own, do you help your friend find a “dream look”, or provide paid services, list one:
- Hand treatment. After washing hands with soap, it is necessary to treat the skin with an antibacterial agent. It can be a gel, spray, liquid, wipes - anything, if only it would provide the highest possible sterility necessary when working with the eyes.
- Eye care product to help remove makeup. You can choose the right one with the help of a consultant in the store or by studying product reviews. However, if you provide paid services, it is worthwhile to purchase several types in order to be able to clean the eyelashes of clients with any type of skin.
- Degreaser.
- Glue for eyelash extensions. Reviews about this product should be studied very carefully, since the success of the procedure depends on the quality of this component. You should not buy cheap products, it is better to immediately buy premium glue.
- Hair. There should be a lot of sets. If you plan to stick eyelashes only to yourself and your girlfriends - you can have a small supply of beams, but if you do this at a professional level, then there should be more than one option. They should differ in length, volume, material, decor.
- Tweezers for eyelash extensions in the amount of two units. One of them, with straight ends, is necessary to hold and glue the hairs, the second, with bent, for their correction.
- Gel pads. At first, instead of them, you can use, for example, cotton pads, but in the future it is worthwhile to buy pads. They are easy to use, they are inexpensive and pleasant to the skin.
- Capacity for glue. This can be either a small cap from previously used products, or a specially purchased container.
- Cotton buds and toothpicks. We need to wipe or correct something in time.
- Magnifying mirror. After the procedure, any girl will want to carefully consider what she now looks like. Well, in addition, with the help of such a mirror it is convenient to build eyelashes for yourself.
- Lighting. The eyelash extension lamp can be any, the main thing is that it gives a good even light, in which it is convenient to work with small objects.
- Special tray. Near the place where the person who needs to do the extension will be located, there should be a device where you can put all the tools and cilia. The hairs should lie freely and be clearly visible.
The list, of course, turns out to be quite impressive, but most of it is acquired once, in the future all this is reused. However, by contacting the store for eyelash extensions, you can shorten the list a bit by buying only the most necessary minimum for a start.
Material selection
The most important material from the whole list is glue. The final result also depends on its quality, therefore it should be chosen with particular care. So, it should not dry out very quickly - it is especially difficult for a beginner to adapt to such material. But you should not take a slow-drying one - the procedure will take too much time. The thickness of the glue should be medium. To choose the best option, you should focus on the following indicators:
- Glue color. The choice of clear or black depends on the original color of the eyelashes.
- Hypoallergenicity.
- Validity. Glue can fix eyelashes from a day to a month.
Eyelash selection
You already know what you need for eyelash extensions, you have a list of materials. But it’s worth talking in more detail about the choice of cilia. First of all, they differ in the following characteristics:
- Length. Using short, medium or long, you can get various effects.
- Thickness. The brightness of the eyes depends on this indicator. For each day, a thickness of 0.1 mm is used, while 0.15 mm gives the impression of painted eyelashes, 0.2 is used for special occasions, and 0.25 is used to create creative images.
- Bend. There are 4 degrees, each of which is suitable for different images.
Cilia material
An equally important characteristic of eyelashes is the material from which they are made. Any store for eyelash extension will offer three main types:
- Mink The structure of the hairs is strong, the length and color are natural. Not only look, but also feel like completely natural eyelashes.
- Sables. Stronger than natural, but do not last as long as mink. They look bright, voluminous.
- Silk. Long, thin, almost not felt. Give depth and expression to the look.
It is difficult to choose the best eyelashes for building on their material: it is worth starting from what the procedure is for.
Types of Hair
Depending on how the attachment is planned, two types of hairs are used.
- Beam - contain several cilia collected in a bunch. Convenient to use.
- Ciliary. On a transparent tape are piece by piece.
Length can be from 8 to 18 mm. There are colored hairs or decorated with additional elements: rhinestones, fluffs, etc. Eyelashes for extensions, the price of which depends on many factors and varies from 100 to 1000 rubles or more, are produced by many manufacturers. You need to carefully study the range and choose the most suitable.
Training
Now that you know what you need for eyelash extensions (the list of materials for this is given in the article a little higher), it's time to start the procedure.
Stick eyelashes on a clean surface, so first of all, you need to remove makeup and degrease the skin. Remove hair from the face, stab the bangs. The eyelash extension lamp should be aimed at the face in order to clearly see the entire treated surface.
Put out the necessary eyelashes, pour glue.
Technology
Close the lower eyelids with gel pads or cotton pads . Comb the cilia. Tweezers for eyelash extensions are needed precisely at the next step: you need to take the eyelash, dip in glue to the middle and attach to the natural one. Wait a few seconds.
When gluing, it is worth focusing on the growth of hairs. Begin from the outer corner, constantly separating the next cilium with second tweezers. To achieve the effect of a "fox" look, the external cilia should be longer.
Correction is required on average after 2-4 weeks. It depends on the method of extension and growth rate of eyelashes.
Recommendations
Glue, despite the fact that the surface of the eyelid was degreased, can be applied only to the hairs, but in no case to the skin. The layer should be uniformly thin. Excesses or drops falling on the eyelid can be removed with a special tool.
The material should match the color of natural hair. The eyelashes of different lengths should be used along the length of the eyelid - short at the inner corner of the eye and longer at the outer.
You can remove artificial hairs only with the help of special tools, otherwise you can injure your own cilia.
Whatever building method and materials you use, remember that the most beautiful eyes are healthy. Therefore, sterility must be observed. If you suspect an allergic reaction, cilia need to be removed, glue removed. If possible, consult a doctor.
