Eyelash extensions

Cilia extension - the process of building on one natural eyelash of one or more eyelashes, with special glue. The wear time of such a build-up is on average from 2 to 4 weeks, after which correction is required to restore the original volume or to remove artificial eyelashes. The procedure for eyelash extensions in the ciliary way occurs in beauty salons . For extension use mainly synthetic eyelashes made of artificial monofilament, less often eyelashes from “mink fur” (There are no eyelashes from animal fur! These are just names invented by masters and beauty salons in order to distinguish between thickness and other characteristics of artificial material.) Eyelashes for extension vary in length, thickness, bending and color.

• Length is the distance from the base of the eyelash to its tip, measured in millimeters from 4mm to 21mm.
• Thickness - the diameter of the base of the eyelash, measured, as well as the length in millimeters from 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm.
• Bending - thermal curl of eyelashes, indicated by the letters: J, B, C, C +, D, CC. And also, recently released L and L + - bends, which have a straight base and a bent tip.
• Color - black, brown - basic; additional - all the colors of the rainbow, as well as eyelashes combining several colors at the same time - are used to decorate or create fashion images.

Two tweezers (straight and curved or two curved) are used for extension, artificial eyelashes are attached to natural ones using special glue. The amount of glue connecting the artificial eyelash to the natural one should be optimal. It is unacceptable that excess glue be visible on the eyelashes, at the same time, the amount of glue should be sufficient for tight bonding of a natural eyelash with an artificial one.

With the help of extension, you can correct the defects of natural eyelashes (rare, light, straight eyelashes), visually change the section of the eyes and improve the perception of the face.

Beam extensions, a fairly new style of eyelash extensions - pre-divided into bundles of eyelashes are glued. One bundle consists of two (2D) three (3D) four (4D) or five (5D) ultra-thin and extremely light pre-treated eyelashes. 2D fluffy cilia typically have a diameter of 0.07 mm and 0.10 mm. 3D in 0.07 mm, 0.085 mm and sometimes 0.10 mm. 4D in 0.05 and 0.07 mm. 5D with a diameter of 0.05 mm and 0.06 mm. ^[1]

• Incomplete volume - extension to the outer corners of the eyes, or extension through several of your eyelashes - natural volume.
• Full volume or classic extension - extension to all upper eyelashes, with the exception of “cannon” eyelashes, that is, the smallest, weakened eyelashes that are in the growth stage.
• Double volume or 2D extension - extension of 2 eyelashes for each natural eyelash.
• Triple volume or 3D extension - extension of 3 eyelashes for each natural eyelash.
