Advantages and disadvantages of Hollywood eyelash volume
Pros of the procedure:
- instant transformation;
- long lasting effect. Before correction it is worn for 1-1.5 months;
- comfortable. No need to apply makeup;
- universal. Hollywood hair extensions are relevant for any look - everyday, evening, stage. For a specific case, you can decorate the villi with rhinestones, feathers, and multi-colored hairs. By combining eyelashes of different lengths and thickness, you can model your eyes and correct imperfections. Size and curve will help make an interesting result.
Minuses:
- the first day after the procedure, you must refrain from water procedures, walks in the rain - humidity prevents the glue from hardening;
- You can’t sleep with your face in the pillow, otherwise the lint will rub out and fall off;
- Comb your eyelashes with a special brush, which is given by the masters. If it is not there, then wash the brush from the old mascara and use it;
- cosmetics and care products that come into contact with the eyelids should not contain oil;
- negative individual reactions to chemistry are possible;
- If the master is bad, then the villi will begin to fall out in the first week. Another negative option is that, wanting to reduce the cost of the procedure, the lash maker will use materials and glue of poor quality, which will cause allergies and burns.
The inconvenience of Hollywood eyelashes is the need to adhere to the recommendations of the master.
The only contraindications are eye diseases and individual intolerance.
What should be conveyed to clients about American extensions?
Let's look again at the key points of American augmentation technology. The first thing your clients need to know is unsurpassed results. Thin and elegant polymer eyelashes allow you to create the most natural and attractive effect. They allow you to significantly expand the range of possibilities for the client - he can sleep on a pillow, wipe his eyes with a towel, remove eye makeup with water, etc. Bathhouse, spa salon, swimming pool, sea - all this is no longer prohibited, because American extensions can withstand increased humidity and direct exposure to water.
If the procedure was performed correctly and efficiently, the effect can last up to two months, depending on the client’s eyelash growth cycle. To consolidate the result, it is advisable to correct the hair extensions after 2-4 weeks. American technology also uses a special waterproof glue, which allows eyelash extensions to stick to natural eyelashes as tightly as possible and fall out only due to the natural renewal of hairs.
If you are just learning the profession of a lash maker, all you need to do is learn two basic extension technologies – eyelash extension (Japanese version) and beam extension. However, as your professionalism and skills develop, as your client base grows and your fame spreads in the city as a reliable master, it is necessary to replenish not only your material base with new eyelashes and consumables, but also your knowledge base by studying new technologies and mastering popular techniques. Happy professional development!

Girls with narrow or protruding eyelids need to choose the effect with caution. In makeup, you need to focus on the eyes to avoid vulgarity.
For close-set eyes, eyelashes will be a good way to correct the look if you add extra thickening to the outer corners.
The technique is often chosen by girls for special occasions; it does not always look appropriate in everyday life. If there is an evening party, a celebration, a performance on stage, a photo shoot, a wedding, this is the best option for creating a bright image.
Eyelash correction procedure
How long do Hollywood eyelash extensions last? This period is individual, and in any case you will have to seek correction, but it is better to choose a skilled specialist. A cheap session with an inexperienced specialist can expose natural hairs to damage, and restoring natural eyelashes is a rather lengthy process.
To carry out the correction, you need to have a certain amount of knowledge and experience in order to correctly replace old artificial hairs with new ones.
The Hollywood volume correction scheme looks like this:
- Using a small brush, the specialist must comb the artificial eyelashes to find hairs that have reached the end of their life. It also gets rid of protruding and unsightly eyelashes.
- Using a glue-dissolving agent (remover), the master processes old eyelashes to remove them without difficulty.
- Next, a professional removes the eyelash extensions with tweezers.
- As a result, natural hairs remain. The fatty layer is removed from them, after which artificial ones are glued on.

The process takes 3.5-4.5 hours and includes the following steps:
- Makeup removal.
- Patches are placed on the lower eyelashes to prevent them from sticking to the upper ones.
- Degreasing of eyelids.
- Using tweezers, the fibers are torn from the tape and formed into a bundle, the tip of which is immersed in the glue.
- Using other tweezers, the lash maker frees access to the hair.
- The bundle is glued at a distance of 1-2 mm from the skin of the eyelid.
- Sometimes the master glues several fibers onto one in turn, without forming a bunch.
- At the end of the procedure, the eyelashes are covered with a fixative and combed.
The classic Hollywood technique is the extension of five eyelashes in a 0.07-thick bundle per one of your own. Allows you to achieve a chic effect without discomfort to the client's eyes.
Why do so few people know about the American buildup?
American extension technology is not so widespread, and many people are not aware of its existence. Moreover, we include not only clients, but also craftsmen. In any city you can find a lash maker who works using Japanese technology and also successfully copes with 3D and 4D extensions, but he has never even heard of American technology. The reason for such “unpopularity” of American technology is that the materials for it (silicone and rubber eyelashes) are quite difficult to produce, so their cost is quite high.
In addition, in our country there are only a few courses (and then only in large cities) teaching how to work with polymer artificial eyelashes using American technology. As for smaller cities, masters do not have access to training, and only a few travel to other cities for courses. However, today progress allows you to complete any training programs online, so American eyelash extensions can be learned on the Internet.
The main thing is to constantly practice, so every master can take the course and practice the acquired skills on family and friends. The availability of silicone and rubber hairs for American hair extensions is a separate issue; they are not so easy to find in stores of professional cosmetics, materials and tools for beauty professionals. However, here progress comes to our aid again - many online stores offer a wide selection of polymer artificial eyelashes.
Features of caring for Hollywood extensions
Hollywood eyelash extensions require additional care. You need to follow the rules that will help make the wear long-lasting:
- Creams, lotions, soaps, and cleansers should not contain oil. It will soften the glue and the lint will fall off.
- Wash your face carefully and do not rub your eyelids during the day.
- Use micellar water.
- Swimming in a pool or sea may destroy the adhesive.
- Do not use decorative cosmetics on your eyes.
- The use of hormones can lead to the fact that synthetic hairs do not take root.
- Don't miss correction deadlines.
- Do not attempt to remove it yourself. The Hollywood method of removing tufts with tweezers is dangerous for the skin of the eyelids and eyelashes. Avoid hairdressers who remove hair this way rather than using special products.
- For oily eyelid skin, the session will not provide a lasting effect.
- Comb the lint in the morning.
- For girls who wear contact lenses, extensions are not contraindicated. But when removing the lenses, the adhesive layer may be damaged.
If you follow the recommendations, your eyelashes will please your owner for a long time.
Care instructions
In order for the results to last as long as possible, you should adhere to the following care rules:
- Do not rub your eyes - the less often you touch your eyes, the longer the result will last;
- Greasy lotions and makeup remover oils corrode the glue, causing it to lose its strength and causing the eyelashes to fall off;
- It is recommended to sleep on your side or back so that the curls do not become deformed on the pillow;
- The use of mascara and curling irons is not advisable;
- Swimming in salty or chlorinated water is prohibited.
The session uses hypoallergenic glue, so it is absolutely safe. Contraindications to the event may be a tendency to allergic reactions, increased sensitivity of the eyelids, blepharitis and conjunctivitis. Poor vision or wearing contact lenses are not a contraindication to the session.
It is not recommended to wear bundles constantly; between procedures, you should take a break of 1-2 months, during which the eyelash growth line must be lubricated with nourishing oils.
Can it be combined with fox effect?
To give a languid look, girls choose a fox effect - lengthening the outer edge. The method is suitable for long, almond-shaped eyes. This technique is contraindicated for girls with drooping eyelids or narrow eyes.
The fox combines perfectly with Hollywood, making the look brighter and sexier. The chic velvety volume of coal-black eyelashes in tandem with the smoothness of the lines attracts attention. In everyday wear, the effect looks inappropriate; it is better to do extensions for a holiday.
A lashmaker performing Hollywood extensions must have perfect command of the technique. Synthetic hairs should be weightless, volume will be created due to quantity.
Preparation for the procedure
Before extensions, specialists evaluate the condition of the eyelashes , their structure and length; when choosing a technique, they take into account the shape of the eye.
Based on these factors, the specialist determines exactly how many artificial beams will be required for the procedure. In addition, he pays attention to the natural thickness of natural eyelashes - if there are many of them, a small amount of artificial raw materials is used for the procedure.
Artificial hairs of brown or black shade are most often used for extensions.
They look natural and do not stand out against the background of natural eyelashes; if desired, the master’s clients add bright bunches.
What is the procedure
This interesting technique appeared during the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema. Cosmetics manufacturer Max Factor offered actresses to do beam extensions. By 2000, the technology was improved by the Americans, and the procedure began to be called “Hollywood volume.”
For Hollywood eyelash extensions at the Clips Tips studio, masters use two techniques: 2D and 3D. The difference between the procedures is the use of bundles with two or three villi, respectively.
Preparing for extensions
Before attaching artificial eyelashes, the principle of distribution of beams over the eye is determined:
- incomplete - allows you to achieve the missing volume;
- full - guarantees luxurious volume thanks to the attachment of artificial material to each hair;
- theatrical - the material is attached in two rows to get super thick eyelashes.
The latter option is usually suitable for celebrations, since it weighs down the eyelashes and makes them impossible to wear for a long time.
Then the master clarifies her wishes from the client:
- color - naturalness will be provided by brown or black colors. If a girl wants to stand out, it is possible to glue several colored hairs;
- length - for daily wear, hairs 8-12 mm long are recommended, and for a deliberately artificial effect, materials up to 18 mm are suitable;
- degree of thickness - if natural eyelashes are sparse, more bundles will be needed.
Hollywood extensions will be the best decoration for girls with bright, dense, but not thick eyelashes. Fiber extensions will add the desired volume and look natural.
