Every woman dreams of beautiful big eyes framed by thick and long eyelashes. And if nature did not give her such eyelashes, then she has to look for ways to make her thin eyelashes “Hollywood”.

Therefore, when the eyelash extension technique was created, which is done step by step in any cosmetology salon, fashionistas perked up and decided to quickly make themselves such “Hollywood” eyelashes.

Step-by-step instructions for eyelash extensions

The extension technology itself consists of gluing several single or bunches of artificial eyelashes to the base of a woman's own eyelashes. Previously, it was believed that in order to avoid unpleasant consequences, it was better to carry out such a procedure with the help of a professional master exclusively in a beauty salon.

One of the types of eyelash extensions is beam

But due to the high cost of such a procedure, many women have learned to do extensions themselves at home.

The technique includes a preparatory stage and a main stage. The step-by-step extension process is simple and if you approach it with maximum attention and responsibility, you can grow eyelashes even at home.

Let's first consider the classification of types and methods of extension.

There are two main types of extensions:

eyelash - with this method, eyelashes look natural and last longer;
bunch (a bunch of artificial ones is attached to one of your eyelashes) - the look becomes more expressive, but the bunches won’t last long.

Eyelash extensions vary:

by length: short, medium and long;
by color: the most commonly used are black and brown, there are also other colors;
by material: natural or artificial.

There are also various extension methods:

partial extension - when synthetic eyelashes are glued only in the corners or at a certain interval (usually they are longer than their own);
complete - when the eyelashes are glued along the entire line, with each artificial one attached to its own;
3D extension - 2 synthetic ones are glued to each of them, creating a three-dimensional effect;
creative extensions (eyelashes of different colors with sparkles or rhinestones).

The duration of wearing artificial eyelash extensions is usually 2 weeks., after which they will gradually begin to fall out. This process is usually invisible to others.

When choosing eyelashes for extensions, you need to take into account their length, thickness, hair stiffness and curl.

When choosing eyelashes for extensions, you need to take into account the length, thickness, stiffness of the hairs and their bend when purchasing. Most often this is indicated on the packaging. You can master the technique of the process yourself step by step, following the recommendations in this article.

When applying individual eyelash extensions, you must first select the right type of eyelashes.

There are 4 types of eyelashes based on material type:

silk eyelashes - quite voluminous, slightly shiny, they will sufficiently lengthen and add volume to your eyelashes (evening option, but not everyday);
mink eyelashes are light and thin, suitable for everyday wear, but have a drawback (they can cause an allergic reaction);
sable eyelashes are heavier, so they do not stick to your very thin eyelashes, although they look very impressive;
artificial eyelashes - they are glued very simply (15 minutes), but last 1-2 evenings.

The thickness of the hairs that will stick to the eyelashes should be no more than 0.15 mm, because thicker ones (from 0.2 mm) give a “doll-like” effect and are used for very catchy evening makeup.

It is better to select the length of the hairs in the range of 10-18 mm. When purchasing, it is optimal to choose a set with hairs of different lengths, then longer ones are suitable for the outer corners of the eyes, shorter hairs for the inner corners.

Effects for creating an image

There are also various effects used to create a specific eye look:

Natural- the look gains expressiveness without the use of cosmetics.
Fox effect- eyelashes of different lengths are used (usually 3), while the outer corner of the eye is visually lengthened.
Squirrel- synthetic eyelashes are glued to different lengths, short - closer to the inside, long - to the outside of the eye, creating a mysterious effect.
Puppet- eyelashes 12-15 mm long are selected, giving the look a doll-like and coquetry look.

The main rule

The classic method of eyelash extensions is the basis of the lash industry. This extension technique is popular because... eyelashes are lengthened gradually in a natural way by gluing artificial eyelashes or thickening your own eyelashes.

This type of extension is widespread in Europe and supports the idea of “naturalness” in makeup, when the eyes look impressive without signs of excessive makeup.

The main rule for classic eyelash extensions is gluing one artificial eyelash to one of your own.

The main rule for classic extensions is gluing one artificial eyelash to one of your own.

There are several basic recommendations for this procedure:

The distance from the base of your eyelash to the beginning of the artificial one is 0.5-1 mm.
The artificial eyelash should stick to its own in the direction from the base to the middle, and it is at the base that the eyelash is glued more tightly.
The autonomy of each individual eyelash must be respected. If they stick together, then later, if there is a difference in the growth of different eyelashes, the woman will feel discomfort.
When gluing the entire row of eyelashes, it is necessary to set them in one direction so that there is no “disheveled effect.”

Required tools and materials

For step-by-step home eyelash extensions, you need to prepare a set of special tools, without which it is impossible to do it correctly and painlessly. The entire technique and the process itself occur directly in contact with the eyes, so getting an infection into the eyes is completely unacceptable.

List of required tools:

high-quality hypoallergenic glue (usually black);
several toothpicks;
packaging of cotton pads;
small tweezers, preferably two;
container for glue (preferably made of plastic) or glass;
spray degreaser for eyelashes;

Preparation

To prepare for the extension procedure you need:

Prepare your hands(wash thoroughly with soap) and face (remove makeup).
Glue your lower eyelashes to the skin. For this, special silicone pads or simply paper tape are usually used. You need to stick it on, starting from the corner, so that all the lower eyelashes are covered and do not interfere with work.

Carefully! When gluing, you need to make sure that the eye is closed. It is important that the glue and its fumes do not get on the mucous membrane of the eye, otherwise there will be a chemical burn and “tears will flow.”

Degreasing the eyelashes that will receive extensions using a degreaser spray. Spray a little liquid from the spray onto a cotton swab and carefully run it along all the upper eyelashes, first in one direction, then in the opposite direction.

The preparatory process is completed. Now, in order to master the technique of eyelash extensions, we will consider step by step how this is done.

Extension of individual eyelashes step by step

After all the tools have been prepared and a set of eyelashes has been purchased, we will begin the extension process.

Pay attention! If you are doing extensions for the first time in your life, then it is best to invite a friend or a more experienced person to help you so that they can objectively evaluate the result when gluing each individual eyelash.

The most popular classic method of extension involves gluing one artificial hair onto one eyelash.

During eyelash extensions, each eyelash is taken with tweezers.

For eyelash extensions, you need 80-120 artificial eyelashes for each eye:

The glue is squeezed onto the glass.
Each eyelash is taken with tweezers and the blunt tip is lowered into the glue to the middle.
Then the eyelash is glued, retreating 0.5-1 mm from the eyelid, to each eyelash separately. In this case, short eyelashes are glued to the inner corners of the eye, and the longest ones are glued to the outer corners. This creates a “cat's eye” effect.
Professional experts advise doing several gluing procedures on each eye - 25-30 pieces for the first approach, then move on to the other eye. And so on one by one.
During the last approach, the empty spaces are closed, and then both eyes are visually aligned by the number of cilia.

Extension with bundles step by step

The bun look is also called the “Hollywood” look because it is considered a formal style. The bundles last for a maximum of 2-3 weeks.

Bundles with eyelashes come in knotless and knotted types. A nodule is a ball at the point where several artificial eyelashes meet. If there is a knot, the bundle is easier to apply, but it will be visible on the eyelashes after the procedure is completed.

Usually 15-20 bundles are glued to each eye

Knotless bundles (without balls) have a flat attachment and are glued to the skin of the eyelids.

Bunches also vary in length and density. Often in beauty salons they also add rhinestones for originality.

Usually 15-20 bunches are glued to each eye.

Step-by-step gluing of beams:

drop glue onto the prepared glass;
a bunch of eyelashes is taken with long tweezers, the tip should be lightly dipped in glue;
your own eyelashes are moved apart in the right place using another tweezers, then the bundle is glued in this gap between the eyelashes either to the base of your own eyelash or to the eyelid itself;
the direction of gluing is from the outer corner of the eye to the inner, the beams must be distributed evenly along the eyelid to avoid gaps.

Eyelash extension using Japanese technology

The most popular and effective technique today is the Japanese technology of eyelash extensions separately for each eyelash. With the help of step-by-step instructions for this technique, any woman can do this at home.

Japanese technique (step-by-step implementation):

Pour the hairs onto white paper or a towel and select the ones you need, sorting them according to length or other parameters.
Prepare the glue - pour it into a small container.
Degrease the tweezers using a special solution.
Using a degreaser, treat the area around the eyes and your eyelashes; place damp cotton pads (halves) under the lower eyelids to protect the skin from glue.
Your own eyelashes need to be combed and separated with a brush.
Each artificial eyelash is taken by the tip with tweezers, the base is briefly dipped into the glue, and then applied to its own eyelash near the base. To avoid disturbing the rest of your eyelashes, you need to push them away with a toothpick. For high-quality attachment of the artificial hair, it needs to be lightly pressed onto the eyelash.
The direction of gluing is from the outer to the inner edge of the eye.
All eyelashes should be laid in the same direction.
After finishing the procedure, you need to lie down and wait with your eyes closed for a few minutes for the hairs to stick properly.

Correction of individual eyelash extensions

Typically eyelash extensions last about 3-4 weeks. As a rule, corrections need to be made once a month. For oily skin, correction is done more often.

If a woman used additional tinting of mascara on her eyelash extensions, then she will have to completely redo the whole job: remove the eyelashes, because the mascara gets stuck in the roots of the eyelashes and it is impossible to remove it from there. In this case, gluing the eyelashes is done again.

Caring for eyelash extensions after correction

There are several rules for caring for eyelash extensions:

You can wet your eyelashes only 2-3 hours after the extension procedure so that the glue has time to set well;
You can’t sleep with your face in the pillow;
do not rub your eyes;
The washing process is carried out very carefully, because getting wet reduces the lifespan of eyelashes;
It is better to refrain from visiting the sauna due to the possibility of straightening artificial eyelashes at high temperatures (approx. 100º);
you should not cry, it is also better to refrain from sea swimming (salt water does not have a very positive effect on glued eyelashes);
to remove makeup, it is optimal to use a tonic rather than a greasy cream (fat helps dissolve eyelash glue); also, you should not use cosmetics with alcohol, this can greatly dry out the skin on the eyelids;
To remove makeup, it is best to use a cotton swab and do this without touching your eyelashes.

It is better to refrain from visiting the sauna for the time being.

Removing eyelash extensions

To remove artificial eyelashes, a special product is used - cream-paste for removing eyelash extensions. The paste should be rubbed into the base of the roots of the eyelashes and left for 15 minutes. Then the artificial eyelashes are carefully removed, the remaining excess cream is removed, everything is washed with warm soapy water.

Important to know! When you take off the artificial eyelashes, yours will seem terrible - sparse and short. Don't be scared! This is not because your own ones fell out, but because you are visually accustomed to synthetic, thick and beautiful ones.

Contraindications to the extension procedure:

cold or ARVI;
tendency to conjunctivitis or blepharitis;
allergy to glue or synthetic eyelashes;
very oily skin of the face or eyelids;
very weak and thin natural eyelashes cannot support the weight of artificial ones;
high eye sensitivity and tearfulness.

Sterilization of instruments is the main rule that cannot be avoided.
When using eyelash extensions, which is a more complex procedure, you need to make sure that the glued eyelashes “look in one direction.”
The lifespan of natural eyelashes is about a month, so when applying extensions, it is better to choose shorter eyelashes that will grow longer.
It is very important to prevent eyelashes from sticking together during the extension process.

Common mistakes made by newbies:

incorrect gluing of artificial eyelashes along the entire length - it is best to fix the eyelash from the base to the middle of your own eyelash;
incorrect interval between the eyelid and the glued eyelash (should be 0.5-1 mm) - when the eyelash is glued to the skin of the eyelid, the woman experiences a feeling of tight skin and discomfort when wearing;
if the eyelash is glued far from the base, then an extra free edge is formed, the eyelash “dangles”, which reduces the wearing time of such eyelashes;
Sticking several eyelashes together prevents them from growing normally, which accelerates the loss of your eyelashes.

After reading this article, a woman who wants to have “Hollywood” eyelashes will understand that the main thing is enthusiasm and experience. The correct technique for eyelash extensions described in this article will help you follow all the steps step by step, gain experience and get an impressive result - beautiful thick eyelashes.

A master class on eyelash extensions is taught by E. Lange:

See how eyelash extensions are performed here:

The beam extension technique is shown in detail here:

Girls have many ways to perfect their appearance. Expressive eyes are one of the important aspects of makeup. Eyelashes help to achieve greater expressiveness and depth of look. Not all girls have long and curvy hair, and mascara doesn’t always save them. There are many ways to increase length and volume, and extensions are one of them. In some cases, the traditional procedure is not suitable, for example, when you are going to a special event, be it a wedding or a party, to look your best. The 2D extension procedure helps to achieve double volume.

Double volume artificial eyelash extensions are similar to regular ones, where two artificial ones are attached to one hair. This type is an intermediate link between 3D and conventional extensions; it looks more natural than triple extensions. Artificial hairs are attached so that the ends point in different directions, due to which a greater increase in volume is achieved. Such hairs look twice as thick and more expressive.

Benefits of double extensions

Double volume of eyelashes helps to achieve greater expressiveness of the look by increasing length and density. Two artificial hairs are attached to one natural hair; after this extension, the volume increases significantly. Double extensions allow you to significantly change your appearance.

There are two techniques and each has advantages:

Japanese technique - hairs are glued separately, which increases the time of the procedure, and will last for more than a month.
Bundle technique - artificial hairs are already glued together in the form of the letters V or Y. This technique is faster and more affordable, but they will last no more than two weeks.

Depending on the length of the chosen eyelashes, you can achieve different effects and volumes. The most popular of them is natural, in which hairs of the same average length are placed. The doll effect can be achieved by growing identical long hairs. You can also make your look more mysterious using the “fox” eye effect. Short ones are placed at the inner corners, and long ones at the outer corners, which visually draws out the eye and creates the effect of a fox-like gaze.

Who is suitable for 2D extensions?

This type will suit everyone, depending on what length of artificial hairs you choose. Long ones are best done before a special event or party. For everyday wear, it would be optimal to choose short or medium hair.

Eyelashes also vary in type. “Sable” are the thickest and most lush, they can be built up for a holiday or celebration. “Mink” and “silk” are perfect for everyday use. Despite their names, hairs are made from artificial materials.

2D technology has its contraindications. It should not be used by those who have too thin eyelashes, they may not be able to withstand such weight. In this case, it would be better to extend it by half a century.

Double volume will not work:

for eye diseases such as conjunctivitis;
if you are prone to allergies to glue;
when eyelid skin is oily.

Features of the technology

There are two types of this technique: Japanese and beam. Two artificial hairs are glued to your eyelashes. The procedure is painless; during it you only need to keep your eyes closed.

Sequence of procedure:

The specialist removes makeup and degreases eyelashes.
Next, the lower ones are sealed with adhesive tape.
Then the master glues the artificial ones to the natural ones, one or two glued hairs at a time, depending on the chosen technique.

Eyelash care after the procedure

To ensure that your artificial hair lasts a long time, you should follow these instructions:

Avoid eye contact with moisture for the first 3 hours.
Do not use steam baths on your face for 3 days.
Don't rub your eyes. Contact with hands is allowed only when washing.
Avoid sea and chlorinated water.
Avoid using greasy eye creams as they may dissolve the glue.

It is best to remove eyelash extensions after 20 days. Use a care product for your eyelids, you can smear them with burdock oil to restore and grow them. If you decide to repeat the procedure, after the previous time it is better to give them a month of rest.

Cosmetic procedures offer various options for correcting appearance. Lash makers offer to transform your look without spending a long time on applying makeup. Volume eyelash extensions involve gluing a special compound to each of your own artificial ones. Allows you to achieve the desired thickness and length if natural hairs cannot boast of this.

Full volume eyelash extensions are used to create a natural-looking makeup that frames the eyes indistinguishably from a natural look. With the attachment method, the natural effect is preserved, but two or three or more artificial ones are applied to each fiber, creating a 2D (double), 3D (triple) volume.

Natural hairs are not distinguished by the rich color of natural pigment, good length and thickness. The technique creates weightless volume from the eyelash extension procedure, fluffiness, and a beautiful natural curve. Lashmakers attach the material without weighing down the original row, ensuring the comfort of using the technology for everyday use.

The advantage is that the materials from which the fibers are made are hypoallergenic. The basis is a special high-quality synthetic fiber that imitates silk, mink, sable, and human hair.

What are the volumes of eyelash extensions?

Before the procedure, it is recommended to consult with a specialist. He will help you choose the ideal shape and volume of the row, based on facial features, eye shape, and color type of appearance. Depending on the choice of fastening method, uniformity or randomness of distribution, length, size, diameter (thickness), and bending of artificial fibers, different results are obtained. From subtle natural to wide-eyed doll-like looks.

Common effects: traditional eyelash (natural), fox, squirrel, velvet.

There are two general types of volume.

Full extension

A classic row modeling technique in which one artificial hair is attached to each natural hair. There is a visual lengthening, the shape of the bend changes. The method is suitable for creating natural makeup and for all types of eyes. Various effects will help you change your look and correct your facial contour.

Incomplete

Unlike the previous method, partial volume eyelash extensions involve eyelash or beam gluing. In most cases, the main focus shifts to the outer eyes. The technology is used to increase short hairs. The session is suitable for girls with almond-shaped eyelids to make their eyes more open and hide drooping eyelids.

Maximum expansion volumes

Mega-volumes (velvet, Hollywood style) are considered non-standard, created through the use of technology, and used for special events (red carpet) or photo shoots. The method involves gluing pre-treated bundles of four or more ultra-thin, ultra-light man-made fibers. The technology allows you to achieve 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D and 12D expansion. Own villi are not damaged.

The maximum extension scheme is used by craftsmen to form a beautiful row. Artificial villi of various lengths are used, their tips are separated for a more pronounced effect.

The density is distributed evenly or shifted to the outer corners of the eyes.

Due to the application of tufts, less adhesive is used. Affects the appearance and durability of your own eyelashes. The technique is used by girls with thin, weakened or damaged hairs and does not weigh them down.

Volume eyelash extension technology

Do not attempt this extension at home, but seek help from a professional lash maker in a specialized salon. The procedure, despite the simplicity of the theory and gluing technique, requires skills.

There are a number of basic rules and contraindications that you need to pay attention to before visiting the salon:

a few days before the procedure, avoid visiting the pool or taking sea baths - a high level of chlorine and salt in the water will negatively affect the difference in the quality of adhesion;
The last visit to the solarium is preferably at least one day before the visit to the master;
The use of mascara before the visit is prohibited - the natural oils contained in most types of mascara are difficult to wash off. May cause weak adhesion of artificial hairs;
very light, pale eyelashes need to be colored in advance, otherwise they will stand out strongly against the background of black hair extensions;
In case of diseases of the lower and upper eyelids, the timing of the procedure to increase the volume of hairs is postponed until recovery.

The minimum time required for the service is usually around 2-2.5 hours.

Step-by-step instructions for volumetric extensions:

The first step is to cleanse your own hairs from cosmetics and degrease them with special compounds. The natural fatty coating provides shine. If there is a lubricant, the glue will not be able to completely dissolve; the achieved effect will disappear within a few days.
The eyelashes of the lower eyelid are covered with a special collagen mask, a silicone pad or a regular sponge to avoid them sticking to the upper row.
Using special thin tweezers, the fibers are taken individually or in bunches, the blunt end touches the glue, and they begin to form into rows. Technique: using the second tweezers, the natural villi are carefully moved away from the selected eyelash, the artificial material is attached at a distance of 1.5-2 mm from the lower base of the eyelid. To create two-dimensional or more volumes, others are additionally glued. It is necessary to ensure that the fibers in the bundle are located at different angles.
If desired, the lower eyelid can be extended; it is necessary to use an adhesive base with a different composition to avoid irritation, the eyes will be open.
Eyelash extensions with a volume effect are carefully combed and then treated with a special fixative.

The special adhesive base must be completely hypoallergenic. Professionals use instant glue. Beginners are recommended to purchase products that are gentler in drying time to correct the position of artificial hairs.

How to choose the desired effect based on your face shape and eye shape

The result will be magnificent if you choose the required type and volume, based on the characteristics of your facial features and eye shape.

round ones have approximately equal width and height parameters; more often it is necessary to lengthen their natural cut. Longer eyelashes are glued from the center of the eyelid towards the outer corners, creating a cat's eye effect;
narrow-set eyelids require the use of the same extension technology as round eyelids; to visually increase the distance, the length evenly changes from short on the inner corners to long on the outer ones;
wide-set ones require a slight rounding of the natural shape; long hairs are glued in the center of the eyelid or the full volume method is used (eyelash gluing);
narrow (Asian) eyes widen and become visually larger by gluing long fibers in the center or by shifting the emphasis to the outer corner (cat-eye effect);
with drooping eyelids they appear small, they require creating the effect of depth of look, elongated artificial fibers are built up from the center of the row, slightly reducing the length to medium towards the outer corners;
with a deep planting they look large, they need to be made open, it is necessary to use long artificial eyelashes with a maximum bend to pull the eyes forward;
with raised corners require, depending on the desired result, the use of two different techniques: to emphasize the shape, a fox effect and volume are used (lengthening the hairs from the inner corner to the outer), to distract attention - a row with a smaller bend is built up on the outer part of the eyelid;
with drooping corners, it is recommended to revive them by adjusting the row by gluing hairs with the most abrupt bend shape to the outer edge, thereby creating a squirrel effect.

Beautiful eyelashes immediately change a woman’s look - it becomes enigmatic and feminine, mysterious and alluring. Few people are satisfied with the natural length and thickness of their eyelashes, which is why various products that stimulate their growth are so popular. However, there is another, faster and guaranteed effective way - volumetric extension. Thanks to this procedure, you can get a chic frame for the eyes, which does not even need to be tinted due to the created length and thickness.

2D eyelash extensions - what is it?

While many people already know about eyelash extensions, new technologies for the 2D volumetric procedure still raise some questions. The main difference is that with regular extensions, one artificial hair is attached to each hair, and with volume extensions, two artificial ones are attached, with the tips in different directions, which gives even more expressive volume. The result still looks natural, but much more impressive. It is worth noting the main advantages of this approach:

greater expressiveness;
the opportunity to purchase thicker eyelashes if other technologies are not suitable;
it is possible to use various decors, ranging from colored hairs to gluing rhinestones and feather elements;
comfort and durability of the result.

It is better to refuse the procedure if the eyelashes are too weak and thin; in such a situation, only a partial increase in volume is possible, for example, only on the inner corner of the eye.

Methods for double volume eyelash extensions

The appearance of finished eyelashes and the quality of their wear will largely depend on what kind of extension technology was used:

Japanese technology. It involves the use of the highest quality materials, both artificial and natural (for example, silk) - they are softer, lighter, better able to withstand exposure to the sun and water, and therefore last longer and require less careful care. The technique involves gluing hairs one at a time, which makes the procedure longer and requires special professionalism from the master. To maintain the look, correction is required at least once a month, but in general, the eyelashes remain attractive for about three months;
beam technique. It is considered simpler and more budget-friendly, since to achieve a 2D effect, ready-made bundles of two hairs (V or Y-shaped) are glued on. With proper care, the effect lasts for 2-3 weeks, but if at least one tuft falls out, then correction must be done immediately, since a noticeable “gap” will form in its place.

Possible effects after double extensions

2D extensions imply the ability to create a variety of effects, as with a conventional procedure. First of all, the type of desired result is determined - corner extension (when artificial elements are attached only to the outer corner of the eye), circular (full filling) or incomplete (partial placement of artificial fibers, for example, through several hairs). As for extension effects, you can choose one of the options described below:

when using fibers of one, short length along the entire line of the eyelid, the most common classic, natural result is obtained;
puppet effect - similar to the first one, only along the entire line there are identical long
eyelashes, thereby creating a pronounced, spectacular volume and length;
fox eyelashes - during the procedure, fibers of different lengths are used, short at the inner corner of the eye, and very long at the outer corner, which visually stretches the eyes;
squirrel effect - eyelashes of the same length are glued along the entire length of the eyelid, and several long elements are placed closer to the outer corner;
ray effect - fibers of different lengths are attached in a chaotic order, that is, long, medium, and short elements are alternately located;
millennium - a fantasy extension when multi-colored and decorative elements are used.

Technology for performing the procedure in the salon

The first thing the master does is assess the condition of natural eyelashes and select materials to create the selected effect. At the preparatory stage, both the length of the hairs used and their quality are determined. The event then proceeds as follows:

eyelashes are cleaned of cosmetic residues and degreased;
special stickers are applied to the lower eyelid so that during the procedure the upper hairs do not stick to the lower ones;
Next, the client must close his eyes, and the extension procedure itself begins. Selected blanks are attached to natural hairs using special hypoallergenic resin glue and tweezers.

The procedure lasts on average from one and a half to two hours. The first day after the event, you should completely avoid direct eye contact with water, and for two days you should not carry out procedures associated with high humidity. Having, you should adhere to certain rules:

try not to sleep on your face;
touch your eyes less, rub them;
Do not use fatty cosmetics with oils;
it is necessary to attend correction in a timely manner;
You should not resort to using tools to curl your eyelashes, as this can lead to them coming off.

It is worth considering that there are some contraindications to the procedure:

increased oiliness of the skin of the eyelids;
very weakened natural eyelashes;
the occurrence of various eye diseases, for example, conjunctivitis, in the active or chronic phase;
allergic reaction to materials used during the procedure.

Difference between 2d and 3d extensions

The main difference lies in the materials used, that is, when creating a double effect, 2 artificial hairs are attached to one natural hair, and for a triple effect, three at once. Because of this, the result of the procedure varies:

2D extensions give a more natural result, suitable for everyday wear. Also, the hairs are subject to less stress, and therefore the likelihood of injury is minimized;
3D eyelashes look brighter and fuller, but less natural. They are usually used for a specific event, such as a photo shoot.

You can create “forks” for eyelash extensions with double volume yourself, using regular material for eyelash extensions. How to do this? You will find the answer to this question in this video, where the master reveals all the intricacies of this procedure.

This master class is an excellent guide for those who want to learn how to do eyelash extensions in a way different from the classic one. This video clearly demonstrates the process of creating the squirrel effect, and also highlights some secrets and important details for achieving the best result.

Photos before and after the procedure

The double volume volume extension procedure is the “golden mean” between conventional eyelash extensions and the creation of triple or more volume. You can see exactly what the result of the procedure looks like in the photos showing clients before and after extensions.

Ladies of any age want to be attractive. They do many different procedures for this. Eyelash extensions are increasingly gaining popularity. Many techniques and ways have been invented to make eyelashes thick and attractive. 2D eyelashes effect (you can see the photo in the article) are significantly different from other effects. But they are the ones that look the most natural.

Types of extensions:

Incomplete,
Full,
2D effect,
3D effect.

But I would like to note one important point: if a girl doubts whether she needs this procedure, the following aspects must be taken into account. If a lady already has long and lush eyelashes, why add more volume, you can simply adjust the shape of the eye. By the way, with the help of extensions you can and profitably change the shape of your eyes.

Procedure

Eyelash extensions are not difficult. But this is a very painstaking and careful work. Naturally thick eyelashes are much easier to increase in volume, but sparse and short eyelashes are more difficult. But those with short and sparse eyelashes want to use this method. And this is understandable, because the eyes are the mirror of the soul, and when they are framed by luxurious eyelashes, it is impossible to forget them.

The procedure itself involves gluing the finest threads onto a unique transparent glue that resembles resin.

Photos before and after:

Classic way

For each natural eyelash, the master glues another artificial one. This type of extension looks very natural and natural. Artificial threads give the eyelashes a neat curve. They are dark in color, so there is no need to tint them.

2d effect

This look is more suitable for girls with modest natural characteristics. 2 artificial threads are glued to each natural eyelash. The main task of the master is to do this as close to the base as possible.

The main point is the selection of material for the procedure. You need to choose eyelashes of minimal weight; when applied, the master will distribute them evenly and the client will not feel discomfort.

Example photo:

Technique

Let's take a closer look at the technique itself. The threads are glued to the eyelash not one on one, but on the sides of the hair. The ends should be spread in different directions, but in the same direction. Glue-resin is not applied to the skin of the eyelid, only to the natural eyelash itself. When gluing, the basic rule is observed: the eyelash should not touch the eyelid, but should be located as close to it as possible.

After the procedure, they should be easy to comb, without any lumps of glue or torn edges. Of course, this depends on the skill of the lash maker.

Types of eyelash bending in the photo:

2D extension options

There are several other options for using the 2D effect:

Classic, when the eyelash row is located clearly along the natural row,
Squirrel,
Lisiy,
Puppet,

Photo example:

Feline.

Eyelash extensions, like any high-quality makeup, can visually change the shape of the eyes and correct minor flaws in appearance. For example, if the eyes are small, with the correct placement of artificial threads, you can make them much larger and more expressive.

One feature that makes this procedure more convenient than everyday makeup. This is the “service” period, from 10 days to a month around the clock. You can tint your eyelashes a different color to match your chosen look, or leave them classic black.

Pros and cons of 2D eyelash extensions
