How and when correction of eyelash extensions is needed

Eyelash correction may be required after extensions. Typically, the wearing period of the false fiber is about 3-5 weeks, after which the artificial bristles must be removed. The first restoration is usually done 20 days after wear. After 2-3 months, the fiber needs to be completely changed.

The procedure involves removing all overgrown bristles and gluing new ones in their place. After the service is completed, the extension looks neat, naturally, there are no glued pieces or tangled fibers. It is not recommended to wear high-volume extensions all the time; the bristles should be allowed to rest regularly.

How eyelash correction is done and its features

Perform extensions and corrections from one specialist. Each master has an individual set of cosmetics and materials, and for a decent effect it is desirable that they match the manufacturer and brand. Even the glue affects the quality of the correction, and the hairs must be the same thickness.

Using a fat-based composition, broken and overgrown parts are removed. New ones are glued in their place.

To make the extensions look natural, the bundles are pre-colored. This is relevant for beam extensions.

With each procedure, your own hair is damaged and weakened. Give your eyes a rest, don't resort to such services too often. 3D eyelash correction greatly thins. It must be used in case of noticeable thinning or when they look disheveled. Try different extension effects.

The time for eyelash correction and full eyelash extensions from scratch is approximately the same. This is due to the complexity of the process.

Preparation takes more time: removing old material, combing, cleaning, degreasing. During correction, it is difficult to clean the interlash space from accumulated cosmetics and sebum, which are harmful to eye health. Their inflammation and disease may occur. Then an ideal result will not be obtained for the reason that the new eyelashes are fixed almost at the base, and the old ones are three or five millimeters from it. Because of this, when scrolling, they can be directed in different directions. The action of glue also affects hair destruction. It has a certain service life and shelf life.

Flaws

Why shouldn't you have your eyelash extensions corrected? Frequent procedures can damage natural hairs. The procedure also has the following disadvantages:

1. Floating price. Some experts set the final cost based on the work performed; it cannot be predicted in advance.
2. After correction, even if successful, eyelashes quickly lose their neat appearance.
3. You need to visit the same salon and the same specialist who performed the extensions. Many specialists do not correct other people's work.

If the hairs are severely damaged or have grown significantly from the roots, the hairdresser will probably not perform correction, but will offer the client re-extension.

Types of correction

Depending on the quantity, length, thickness, three types of correction are distinguished:

• American.

Artificial hairs of the same length are used, but longer than natural ones.

• Japanese.

The hairs are individually attached from short to long, creating a fan effect.

• Hollywood.
• Volumetric beam.

The most common correction is eyelash correction. It differs from natural eyelashes in length.

Types of bends

There are 8 main types of bends, of which about 4-5 types are popular and frequently used. Each of them suits a certain type of eyelashes and eye shape. They are classified by letters of the English alphabet in the following order:

J - invisible (what it looks like) - almost straight hair, with a barely noticeable curl at the end. Most often used for extending lower eyelashes or creating the most natural look with classic and incomplete extensions. Also appropriate if you have long but sparse eyelashes.

B – minor – unlike the J-bend, it has a slightly more curled tip. Used when it is necessary to create an inconspicuous accent on the eyes. For most women, their own eyelashes are identical to the B curve. Due to this, an enhancing effect is achieved that is not visible to others.

C – medium – visually opens the eye due to a moderate but visible bend. Suitable for any type of extension. In most cases, women prefer this type.

D (SS) – significant – ideal for solving problems such as lack of volume of eyelashes, drooping eyelids, and downward growing eyelashes. Such eyelashes can completely change the perception of the eyes and face as a whole, but it will not be possible to achieve naturalness when using this curl.

M - significant - differs in apparent length and volume, in comparison with identical eyelashes of other curves. Recommended for women with downward growing eyelashes.

U - very strong - extremely curved eyelashes, when extensions are used, the Baby Doll effect is achieved. Suitable for young girls who prefer a similar style of clothing

When adding extensions, it is important not to overdo it with volume, otherwise the eyes will look ridiculous and ugly.

L - very strong - the bend is distinguished by a straight base with a curved (in other cases the hair is curled) end. This look is suitable for women with straight eyelashes and glasses lovers. When used correctly, it is an effective eye shape corrector.

L+ - very strong - something between L and CC bends. Used to create the effect of an open eye in the presence of swollen, drooping eyelids.

1. Differences between C and D curves for eyelash extensions In addition to the main types, some manufacturers supplement their lines with C+, Q curves and other non-standard options. Most often, they are either analogues of some type or differ slightly from it.

How often should the procedure be done?

How long will it take to visit the specialist again, you ask? For well-groomed eyelashes, it is recommended to correct them 2-3 weeks after application, and then it is advisable to carry out this once every month and a half. The frequency of the procedure is affected by:

• correct choice of makeup remover products;
• growth rate of natural eyelashes;
• thorough care;
• type of extension, quality of materials;
• quality of the material used;
• characteristics of the body.

The life of eyelashes (a 90-day cycle) occurs in three phases:

1. Anagen - active growth (lasts 2-3 weeks).
2. Catagen - rest (lasts 4-7 weeks).
3. Telogen - rejection.

Hair loss is normal. 3-5 eyelashes are lost per day. Bunches fall out faster than single hairs. Oily skin will speed up the wear of the eyelash material, and dry skin will affect how often corrections need to be done. Taking antibiotics and hormonal surges also lead to rejection of eyelash extensions.

After 2-3 corrections, give your eyes a rest. Real eyelashes need to grow and gain strength.

Recovery will take two weeks (it will take three to four months). Natural hair needs to be taken care of. Castor oil strengthens roots. Vitamin E stimulates the growth of natural eyelashes. To improve your health, use almond and grape seed oil. Apply the products carefully so as not to get into your eyes.

From the herbs chamomile, yarrow, calendula, you can make an infusion that tones the skin of the eyelids, which is important for healthy eyelashes. Sometimes recovery requires a therapeutic massage of the eyelid area, which increases blood circulation, accelerating eyelash growth.

Features of the technology of such extension

Carrying out the procedure at home on your own is not recommended; it is better to opt for a specialist.

The service is provided within 2-2.5 hours, the cosmetologist follows the instructions:

• a patch in the form of a strip or pad made of silicone is placed on the lower eyelid;
• The master treats the hairs with a degreasing composition and combs them;
• the artificial one is wrapped in hypoallergenic glue, the excess is removed with a cotton pad;
• Using tweezers, the lash maker attaches the unnatural lower hair to the real one;
• the session is repeated until the effect is achieved.

The instructions contain the possibility of errors in the provision of services, which are often made by inexperienced professionals. The following are considered common:

1. Use for hair extensions that are too long. The look becomes unnatural, it is difficult for the eyelid to support the weight of the artificial material, and they can break off. The artificial eyelash should be 1.5-2 mm longer than the natural one.
2. Failure to comply with proportions in extensions. Some clients want to grow thick, voluminous hair on top and bottom, but the look turns out unnatural. The upper ones should be thicker, twice as voluminous as the lower ones.
3. Excessively curved extensions. To attach the eyelashes from below, use a natural bend (A).

To make the eyelashes on the bottom last longer, cosmetologists advise following the following care rules:

• Do not wet your eyes for three hours after the session;
• do not apply mascara;
• unnatural hairs should not be touched, pulled, or slept face down;
• Cosmetics are removed from the eyes with a cotton pad using lotion or water with a mild composition. Oil-based creams help the false lower eyelashes peel off;
• Do not wash your face with high temperature water or soap;
• Makeup artists do not recommend curling eyelash extensions with tweezers;
• so that the hairs do not stick together, they are combed;
• humid air, high temperatures of saunas and swimming pools help soften the glue, and the eyelashes begin to fall off.

Cosmetologists do not advise doing the procedure too often; natural hairs need rest.

How to prolong the effect without correction

Taking care of eyelash extensions is easy. The main thing is not to get your eyes wet for 24 hours after the procedure, and not to visit the pool or spa for 48 hours. You should also be careful with the sauna - at high temperatures there is a risk of losing the beauty of the eyelashes (the artificial bend straightens).

It is not advisable to sleep with your face in the pillow. This causes the eyelashes to break and their lifespan to be shortened. Mascara should be water-based only. It must be applied to the ends. It’s better to completely abandon this, since mascara further weighs them down, shortening their service life. Moreover, when applied to eyelashes, it simply sticks them together and gives them an ugly appearance. Removing makeup after extensions is more difficult. For leftover mascara, you will need a product that does not contain oils and alcohol, which have a detrimental effect on the glue.

Having tidied yourself up before your summer vacation for colorful pictures and videos, you must not forget that artificial eyelashes are afraid of sea and chlorinated water. Those who like to splash around will have to deny themselves this pleasure.

To avoid damaging the hairs and causing infection, do not rub your eyes. Wash your face with warm water and gently rinse your eyelash extensions.

Do not wipe your eyes, but pat dry with a clean paper or cotton towel. To avoid tangling, you should comb your hair several times a day, without touching the roots, so as not to pull it out along with your family. Wet eyelashes should not be combed. By following the rules, you can save most of the hairs and delay the correction.

Factors influencing the frequency of the procedure

Correction of eyelash extensions – how often to do it? Much depends on the careful attitude of the client, but the experience of the master is also important. There are many reasons why the period of wearing artificial eyelashes is reduced:

• Sleeping in the “face-to-pillow” position. If you have eyelash extensions, you will have to watch your position while sleeping. Otherwise, there is a risk of leaving all the beauty on the pillow.
• Using makeup removers containing alcohol and face creams with a greasy consistency. Alcohol and oils have a detrimental effect on glue for eyelash extensions.
• Visiting the sauna. The high temperature in the steam room can easily straighten artificial eyelashes.
• Careless handling of eyelashes. Any mechanical impact, such as friction, will increase their loss.
• Water procedures and visiting the pool. Even a strong stream of shower directed at your face can severely damage your eyelash extensions.
• Inexperience of the master. Extension is a complex undertaking that requires a specialist to have the necessary knowledge and experience. If you get eyelash extensions as a beginner, don't be surprised if they fall out after a week.

What you need to know before correction

Make sure the procedure is not contraindicated. Eyes should be healthy, without redness and excessive tearing.

Trust your eyelashes to lash makers who have portfolios of examples of their work in photos, videos and in real life. Incompetence and dishonesty of masters leads to loss of natural eyelashes and eye disease. Recycled tools are subject to high-temperature treatment and stored in an ultraviolet cabinet. Therefore, it is desirable to use disposable equipment. Using cheap materials and glue is dangerous for the eyes. Before correction, eyelashes are cleaned of makeup and degreased.

How long will eyelashes last?

So, you have decided to undergo eyelash extensions. But a logical question arises: how long will the eyelashes last? Will it be possible to admire them forever?

Oddly enough, the longevity of eyelashes can vary greatly. It depends on the following factors:

• how experienced the master is (if he is not professional enough, then the eyelashes will fall off after a couple of days);
• Is the glue quality (cheap mixtures are sold within the first week);
• extension method (the beam method is not the most reliable for thin and weak eyelashes, the shoots may fall under their own weight);
• Do you wear contact lenses (they can significantly reduce the lifespan of eyelash extensions);
• an allergic reaction of the body (it will immediately repel “foreign” hairs);
• improper care of the result.

It is difficult to talk about standard terms of wearing eyelashes, because you can not remove them until new ones grow. However, do not forget about makeup - with eyelash extensions, mascara should become a girl’s constant companion. The longest time you can wear eyelashes is three to four months. But in the third week, the eyelashes will noticeably change their “marketable” appearance, so you should not forget about the correction. A makeup artist will be able to touch them up and give practical advice on caring for them.

Interesting facts about eyelash correction

The history of false eyelashes begins in Hollywood. It was there that they were invented by the legendary 20th century makeup artist Max Factor . In 1927, he created the world's first artificial eyelashes for actress Phyllis Haver, who played Roxy in the musical Chicago.

And already in the 50s of the 20th century, such eyelashes became popular, since the procedure was significantly improved and became available to ordinary women.

Many celebrities are fans of eyelash extensions: Jennifer Lopez, Katie Price, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Christina Richie. All of them often resort to eyelash correction procedures to make their eyes more expressive for as long as possible.

Correction of eyelash extensions: how it’s done

If there are no allergies or contraindications, all precautions and rules were observed during extensions, and the artist uses high-quality materials, then the harm from artificial eyelashes is insignificant.

But even under such favorable circumstances it is necessary to know when to stop. Constant stress on your own eyelashes and interaction with aggressive compounds (glue) negatively affect both the skin around the eyes and natural hairs. They may deteriorate, become thin, or become brittle and dry.

Cosmetologists are against wearing eyelashes for more than 3 months in a row. Considering the fact that on average they last about a month, this will equal three extensions (or one extension and 2 corrections). Then the eyes need to be given a rest.

Eyelash extensions have obvious advantages, but also their disadvantages. By following the recommendations and tips presented above, you can minimize the risk of unwanted reactions, extend the life of your eyelashes, and even benefit from wearing them.

It is better to have your eyelashes corrected by a professional, experienced technician (it is not recommended to do eyelash extensions at home). The step-by-step instructions for this procedure are as follows:

1. First, the lash maker combs the eyelashes using a special brush. Thus, the master identifies weak or stray hairs, then removes them using a remover, thereby allowing the removal of artificial fibers without harm to natural eyelashes.
2. Direct removal of unnecessary fibers is done using tweezers.
3. Natural eyelashes, to which artificial elements are planned to be attached, are treated with a degreasing agent. Then new material is glued to them.

Eyelash correction procedure

In his work, the master must adhere to the following rules:

1. It is prohibited to attach artificial fibers to the eyelid. The distance from the edge must be at least 1 mm.
2. It is not allowed to do vellus hair extensions. These eyelashes are very small and weak, so they will not be able to withstand the weight of artificial elements.
3. You cannot glue one fiber to several living eyelashes - wearing such material will cause discomfort.

The following signs indicate a violation of the correction rules:

• Burning, tingling in the treatment area.
• Feeling of lumps on eyelashes.
• The hair seems too heavy.
• My eyes are itchy.

If these symptoms are present, it is recommended to remove the artificial material from another specialist as soon as possible.

On a note. A high-quality procedure (the extension itself and the period after it) should not cause discomfort, provided that it fully complies with the stated requirements.

When the time comes for the first correction, the client retains less than half of her artificial eyelashes, and the rest lose their aesthetics. Therefore, for the first time it is better to choose overgrowth as a correction method. How long it takes from the first visit to the specialist to the correction depends on the extension method.

Note! It is a mistake to think that when it comes to frequency of correction, only the experience of the master is important. The frequency of return visits is influenced by individual hair growth characteristics and lifestyle. The more careful you are with your eyelashes, the longer they will retain their beauty. It is not recommended to go to the bathhouse or sauna: the artificial material may melt. Frequent contact with water also shortens the wear period.

Lashmakers recommend not wearing artificial eyelashes for more than 6 months in a row, despite the harmlessness of the beauty procedure. It is necessary to allow the eyes to rest, because contamination of the interciliary space negatively affects the health of the mucous membrane of the eye. The best option is to go for correction 1-2 times, then give your eyelashes a rest for 1-3 months.

Is it profitable to perform eyelash correction instead of eyelash extensions?

You can wear eyelash extensions from scratch for a month or a month and a half. In this case, there is no point in making corrections; it is necessary to remove old hairs and grow new ones.

Correction is possible no later than 3 weeks after extension.

• After the first correction, the hairs grow differently, they have different lengths and thicknesses, so the result of repeated restoration will be worse. New eyelashes appear after repeated correction for no more than 2-3 weeks, the procedure will have to be repeated again.

In terms of time, the master performs eyelash restoration half an hour faster. It takes about an hour. Each eyelash needs to be cleaned and a new one or a bunch applied to it. Correction is cheaper, the price depends on the condition of the hairs.

• It is advisable to perform the restoration once, then remove the old artificial eyelashes and grow new ones. In this case, your eyes will be beautiful for much longer.
• Correction of 3-D eyelashes is not recommended. With this restoration, you will need to glue up to three artificial eyelashes to each eyelash. On weak hairs, heavy eyelashes will not last long; you may be left without your own eyelashes at all.

Perform eyelash extensions at home or go to a salon

First, let's define the concept of a salon. This is not just a sign, a reception desk and a price list. The salon is, first of all:

an experienced certified master with positive reviews from real clients; accurate work, for which the salon and the master are responsible, and do not shrug their shoulders at the slightest failure; certified materials that the master works with and that your mucous membranes and skin come into contact with; compliance with all precautions and sanitary standards.

Technology of eyelash extensions by lashes from a specialist

1. The client is lying on the couch. Special pads (patches) are placed on the lower eyelid to prevent the glue from getting into the eyes and sticking the lower and upper eyelids together. The entire procedure from start to finish is carried out with your eyes closed.
2. Eyelashes are degreased with a special spray.
3. The master glues the eyelashes one at a time. He takes an eyelash, applies a microscopic drop of glue, and quickly attaches it to yours. And so many times.
4. When all the eyelashes are in place, another thin layer of glue is applied to secure it.
5. After 10-15 minutes (the glue needs to erode well), you can open your eyes and run to the mirror.

For a trained, experienced technician, the extension procedure takes from 1.5 to 3 hours. You can do this yourself only after long training. The technique is truly jewelry and requires perseverance.

Often clients visit a specialist at home. But even in this case, remember all the requirements of sanitary standards. The master should have a lot of positive feedback on the results of his work.

The only thing you can try to do is to glue the fallen eyelash yourself. But! To do this, you need to buy expensive glue, which dries very quickly in a bottle. Not to mention the danger of getting this very glue in your eye.

Step-by-step instruction

Correction of eyelash extensions is performed only in a professional’s office. If you decide to save money and adjust them at home, it is better to abandon this a priori unpromising idea. This way you can not only fail to save the extensions, but also damage your own eyelashes. The technology is very delicate and requires certain knowledge, experience, as well as tools and materials. So, how does the correction process work?

1. Using a special brush, the master combs the eyelashes, determining which ones are holding tightly and which ones will soon fall off.
2. Eyelashes that need correction should be treated with a substance that dissolves the adhesive.
3. Overgrown artificial hairs are carefully peeled off with tweezers, and new ones need to be attached in their place at a distance of up to 1 mm from the base.

The master must adhere to certain rules, because the final result directly depends on this. Hair extensions can only be glued to long eyelashes that are already at rest. If you glue them to the fuzz, they won’t hold on, because young hairs don’t have enough strength to support their own weight. You can glue to growing ones only if the woman is going to remove the eyelash extensions after 2-3 weeks or make a correction. When carrying out the procedure, sterilized or disposable instruments must be used. To begin with, it is recommended to ask the master about what materials he uses and what technology he uses to perform the work.

If the correction is done efficiently, you will get a fresh, updated appearance, the look will become more expressive and seductive, and you can also achieve visual enlargement of the eyes. After extensions, you won't even need to use mascara. The eyelash row already looks lush and beautiful. A sign of quality work is the lightness and naturalness of the image. A woman should not feel discomfort or heaviness.

Care instructions

Artificial eyelashes can quickly fall off if, for example, you sleep with your face in a pillow or use oil- or alcohol-based cosmetics. In order for your eyelashes to retain their attractive appearance for as long as possible, you should provide them with proper care. After recovery, you should not wash your face for the first three hours, rub your eyes, or use waterproof mascara or remover.

To maintain the health of your own eyelashes, you need to regularly nourish the hair follicles with special preparations. Castor oil is often used; it stimulates the growth of new eyelashes and strengthens those to which artificial hairs are glued. The following products are also useful: liquid vitamin E, grape seed oil, almond oil. They can be purchased at a pharmacy or specialty store. If you use mascara, you should give preference to cosmetics containing keratin and vitamins, then you will be able to achieve two effects at once: cosmetic and health-improving.
