Classic eyelash extension. Instructions on how to make yourself. Lessons for beginners

Long, beautiful eyelashes look impressive, attracting the attention of most people around. The classic extension is mainly used by women who do not want to use mascara, but at the same time want to acquire a more expressive look.

How eyelashes look like, extended using classical technology

Artificial materials are used to increase the volume of natural eyelashes. So that the build-up does not cause inconvenience, does not cause irritation, and the eyes do not itch, there are no signs of redness, irritation, the cilia are made from synthetic hypoallergenic fibers.

The glue on which the hairs are attached also does not cause allergies, so even a woman with a predisposition to allergies can afford building.

The main task of the master is to select suitable cilia according to the type of face and stick the hairs on natural eyelashes with the choice of the desired length and bend.

One of the common building technologies is the classic one. It is suitable for women who have quite thick eyelashes. The classic extension gives the hairs more volume and length. Classic implies the use of the amount of eyelashes that is already available on the eyes. On top of each eyelash, another one of the desired length is glued.

Subject to the technology, such eyelashes look natural and beautiful, giving the impression of the natural origin of the eyelashes. A nice addition is the lush effect, rich black color and length.

Extension options

Eyelash extension (classic, fox, doll, squirrel, sparse, 2D, 3D and any other) initially implies the selection of those hairs that will look good on a particular face.

1. For creating fox effect you need to use cilia of 3 or more different lengths. In the corners of the eyes, closer to the nose, hairs are shorter. The closer the cilia to the opposite edge, the longer they are. Thanks to such a build-up structure, the look becomes very expressive and intriguing, even a little tricky. The fox effect is suitable for women with eyes set close to each other. Extensions will help correct the appearance of bulging and round eyes, giving the face a harmonious look.
2. Puppet effect suitable for those girls whose eyes are not too round and not too small. Then the extended eyelashes will look acceptable, otherwise the effect will be unnatural and really doll-like. The look will even look scared. Extension is performed with 12 mm eyelashes. It is not necessary to select the size of the eyelashes for each part of the eye, since the puppet effect implies the use of material of the same length. As a result of extension, the eyes appear wide open.
3. Squirrel effect formed from eyelashes of different lengths.Short hairs are used in the corners of the eye, gradually lengthening towards the middle of the eyelid. From the center, the cilia maximize in length, and closer to the edges, they decrease again. Extension is best suited for women with round and almond-shaped eyes set close to each other. The resulting effect will make your eyes appear more expressive.
4. Sparse effect are achieved by performing the build-up not by the eyelashes, but at a certain interval. Due to this extension, the eyelashes retain their natural volume, and the look becomes more expressive. The effect is suitable for women with thick lashes, which makes them even more attractive, longer and more vibrant.

5. 2D and 3D effects recommended for women with moderately thick lashes. Absolutely on each of them from 2 to 3 hairs are glued, depending on the desired volume. Extension requires very thin eyelashes so that they do not weigh down the look and do not negatively affect the natural hair. It is not recommended to form a large volume for women with fragile eyelashes, as they may not withstand the load.
6. Millennium (multi-colored eyelashes) attract attention, make the image of a woman brighter and more catchy. It is supposed to build up in several shades (from 2 pcs.). All eyelashes and only the corners can be colored. This piece of jewelry will suit women who like to stand out. Cilia will look advantageous at parties and holidays.

What materials are used to make eyelashes

Eyelashes are made exclusively from artificial materials. When the hairs are called "mink", "silk" or "sable" - it only says that each of them has different properties.

Preparation for the extension procedure

To build eyelashes, it is important to consider a couple of preparation nuances:

2. Eyelash extensions are not recommended for eye diseases. It is best to heal first and then go for the procedure.

Step-by-step instructions for building, duration of the procedure, preservation of the effect

Stages:

1. First you need to prepare a clean, white, level surface.
2. Then you should spread the eyelashes on the surface along the length.
3. Then the master must prepare the glue by pouring it into a prepared dish.
4. Tweezers must be treated with a disinfectant before the procedure.
5. Then they wash their hands, wash off all the makeup from the face.
6. Eyelids and natural eyelashes are treated with a degreaser just before gluing the eyelashes.
7. Lower eyelashes must be fixed with special strips or plaster.
8. Then the cilia are combed with a special brush.
9. Taking tweezers in hand, they grab the eyelash with the tool, dip its wide tip in glue and stick it on the natural eyelash as close to the eyelid as possible.
10. With a cotton swab or toothpick, they hold the cilia that have not yet been captured.

It is necessary to extend eyelashes not from the inner edge of the eye, but from the outer. It is important to ensure that they lie in the same direction. To completely dry the glue, you need to lie down for a while and wait.

The procedure takes 2 to 3.5 hours, depending on the extension method.

The build-up effect should last at least 2-2.5 weeks. In order for the cilia to last longer, you need to take care of them.

Possible negative consequences or infectious diseases after building up

Eyelash extensions (classic and any other) are safe in most cases, but there are some risks:

1. With individual intolerance to the components of the adhesive composition and other materials, an allergic reaction may occur. In this case, it is necessary to remove the cilia as soon as possible.
2. During the build-up process, glue can get into the eye, which will cause a strong burning sensation. In this situation, you need to urgently rinse your eyes until the glue is completely removed.
3. After the procedure, there is a risk of contracting any infectious disease if the instruments are not processed after each use. To avoid this, tweezers must be sterilized.

Do your own eyelashes deteriorate

Eyelash extensions do not spoil natural hairs if all the classic rules are followed.

If expired or low-quality materials (for example, glue) were used, the eyelashes can begin to fall out, thin out and fade, so it is important to pay attention to what the procedure is done with.

Natural hairs can deteriorate if artificial eyelashes are not matched to the size (too thick and heavy). Before starting the procedure, you need to carefully select exactly those materials that will not have a detrimental effect on natural eyelashes.

To prevent the cilia from falling out, they must be removed with a special tool. If you independently tear off artificial eyelashes or try to remove them with a liquid that is not intended for this, you can lose their natural density and volume.

Eyelash care after extension

1. Frequent combing of eyelashes, rubbing them with your hands is not recommended.
2. If the cilia are often touched, rubbed and combed, they will begin to fall out ahead of time.
3. It is strictly forbidden to dye eyelashes with mascara, as after that they can stick together and no longer return to their former shape.In addition, when removing mascara from eyelashes, you need a special tool, or frequent contact with water, because of which the extended hairs will definitely begin to crumble.
4. It is forbidden to use creams in the eye area, as the glue softens from fat and oil.

To choose a worthy master, you can familiarize yourself with his work on social networks, or contact him on the recommendations of friends.
