lamination procedure gives them a more expressive look without affecting their naturalness .
In the absence of serious indications, such a procedure is not only safe, but also useful, since the compositions used heal and strengthen the eyelashes.
But lamination does not work well for everyone.
Sometimes people experience negative consequences , the most common of which is allergies.
Consequences due to the fault of the master
For your information! Even the safest procedures in beauty salons can result in unsatisfactory results or complications.
This happens especially often if an incompetent technician is working or technological errors are made.
When laminating eyelashes, the work of an inexperienced master can result in the following consequences :
- Violation of technology, combined with the use of low-quality and dubious serums, often leads to burning and stinging in the eyes and in the eyelids along the edges of hair growth. This is a consequence of applying the serum too close to the eyeball.
- If the specialist did not warn the client about the need to test for possible allergic reactions, and the client himself kept silent about such a predisposition, after applying the composition, burning, itching and redness of the eyelids, as well as allergic rashes, are possible. Depending on the individual physiological characteristics and composition of the serum, such reactions may appear almost immediately, or may occur over the next day.
- If the eyelashes are too short , the master is obliged to warn the client about the possible lack of effect or unpredictable bending of the hairs, which at this length curl too much. If, despite this nuance, the procedure was carried out, the eyelashes will look even shorter than they were.
- If processed incorrectly, the hairs cannot be laid in the desired direction: their bending and direction can be chaotic and cannot be corrected .
What causes an allergic reaction
After eyelash lamination, an allergic reaction is a negative consequence that should be taken care of in advance. To do this, it is important to know how to check for allergies to eyelash lamination.
Allergies are caused by the composition of the product used for lamination. Namely, certain components, since they are not always gentle and anti-allergenic, and therefore often cause the body to react to a foreign substance.
A more pronounced reaction is caused by the product getting on the mucous membrane of the eyes, because this is an incorrect technology for conducting a session, that is, a mistake by the cosmetologist.
To prevent consequences, you should be tested for allergies before performing a cosmetic service. This test is carried out in cosmetology, where the technique is performed.
If the rules of care after the procedure are not followed
Even if the procedure was performed as responsibly and efficiently as possible, and after the final fixation of the result, the eyelashes look perfect, you can still ruin their appearance if you do not follow the rules of care.
Keep in mind! They are simple and generally after lamination you just need to refrain from washing your face during the first day and do not rub your eyelashes too often.
Possible consequences for violating these rules are:
- straightening or vice versa - kinks and creases of eyelashes;
- uneven bending and incorrect direction of hairs;
- in rare cases – loss of individual eyelashes ;
- change in the color of eyelashes when using dyes or alcohol and greasy mascara.
The least dangerous and correctable consequence is loss of eyelash direction, but this problem can be eliminated by simply combing with a soft brush.
completely avoid the negative consequences of lamination if you limit not only washing and physical contact with eyelashes, but also try not to use mascara and eyeliner unless necessary .
Stay up to date! If a specialist properly processes the eyelashes after lamination, they will lie flat, and the curl will look harmonious and beautiful.
In this case, the use of cosmetics in the next couple of months simply will not be necessary.
But even if you do not process the hairs themselves, but apply medicinal cosmetics to the eyelids and skin around the eyes (for example, to eliminate dryness), products based on oils and fats should be avoided.
The serum dissolves not only upon direct contact with such agents, but also under the influence of their evaporation.
Poor quality ingredients used
Result: absolutely unpredictable - from no effect to burn of the skin of the eyelid.
Why does this happen? In recent years, more and more new formulations have appeared on the market at increasingly lower prices. Good lash specialists who value their reputation will not work with cheap new products that do not know how they will behave on eyelashes. But beginning craftswomen are often tempted by the low price and buy no-name formulations with ineffective and sometimes even harmful ingredients.
Allergy
An allergy can occur to almost any component in the serum .
Remember! To find out in advance whether this is possible and to what substance you are allergic, it is not necessary to undergo allergy tests at the clinic.
You need to find out from the specialist what kind of composition will be used and apply it to the inner bend of the elbow.
In case of allergic reactions, the skin in this area will turn red and begin to itch.
Sometimes, for various reasons, such tests are ignored in the salon; it also happens that the client himself hides such a predisposition.
In such cases, an allergy may appear already in the salon or after some time , but no later than 24 hours from the moment of the procedure .
Allergies in such cases manifest themselves in the form of certain symptoms :
- lacrimation;
- redness and swelling of the eyelids and conjunctiva;
- feeling of the presence of sand, debris or a foreign body in the eye;
- itching of the skin of the eyelids (especially along the eyelash line);
- development of dry eye syndrome.
Know! With severe manifestations of allergies in people with hypersensitivity to the serum, an allergic cough and runny nose, swelling throughout the face and redness of the whites of the eyes are also possible.
Lamination serums are considered hypoallergenic, and allergies are mainly found in those who often undergo such a procedure or are initially prone to allergies.
But allergy symptoms can also appear in cases of violation of lamination technology .
This happens especially often if the specialist acts carelessly and affects the eyelashes too much during the application of keratin serum.
If you are absolutely sure that the signs do indicate an allergy , you must perform the following steps:
- remove keratin composition from eyelashes on your own or by going to a salon ;
- take a tablet of any antihistamine (for example, suprastin);
- visit an allergist who will conduct an examination and tell you about further actions;
- give the serum used to an allergist - during further diagnostics, the exact allergen that caused such reactions will be identified.
Note! An allergist will be able to accurately name the component that caused the allergic reaction.
In the future, lamination is allowed, but it will first be necessary to study the composition of the serums used in order to exclude the presence of an allergen component in them.
Exposure time violation
Result: the effect of the procedure is not visible or the eyelashes fall off in “bundles”
Why does this happen? The lamination master's exposure is the exposure of the composition to the eyelashes. Its time directly depends on the thickness of the eyelashes. Thick hairs need more time for the compounds to penetrate into every cell and nourish them.
When laminating, the master sequentially uses 4 compositions:
- Serum for “printing” eyelashes – opens keratin scales, preparing them to receive pigment.
- Coloring pigment – gives eyelashes an expressive color.
- Fixator - helps the eyelashes “remember” the bend made on the roller.
- Sealing composition - moisturizes eyelashes and consolidates the effect of previous products.
The most “vigorous” of these compounds is the fixative. It is important to observe the exposure time to the nearest minute. If you underexpose it, you won’t get a beautiful bend; if you overexpose it, you can destroy the structure of the eyelashes. Although for any of the listed compositions, correct exposure is important. For example, if you underexpose the sealing serum, the lamination will wash off much faster than usual.
Reviews
Below are some reviews of the effects. If you have something to say, leave your feedback in the comments below the article, it will be useful to our readers.
“I did lamination only once.
And at first I liked the result - the eyelashes became the most noticeable part of my face and I finally managed to achieve a beautiful curve and shape.
But a couple of hours after I left the salon, I began to experience a growing burning sensation . Looking in the mirror, I saw that my eyes were red .
I know for sure that this is not an allergy - the serum just got into my eyes . I had to wash them without avoiding water getting on my eyelashes.
This is most likely the reason why the results lasted only 3 weeks.”
Svetlana Tumanova, Kemerovo.
“ At first I liked everything about lamination - from the process itself, which was completely painless, to the amazing result.
The eyelashes remained this way for a month and a half , but when they began to take on their natural appearance, I noticed that they somehow became sparser .
But it's my fault : the salon warned me
and that
with such fine hairs
. Now we have to buy funds for restoration.” V. Shubina, Penza.“After lamination, my eyelashes retained their appearance for two weeks .
Then their curves began to deteriorate and although they still had volume, they began to look less well-groomed.
I am sure that this is the result of neglecting the rules of care , which I did not follow at all.
When the eyelashes completely return to their “original” appearance, I will definitely do lamination again.
But I will be more attentive to the cosmetologist’s recommendations.”
Marina Belskaya, 23 years old.
“ After lamination, my eyelashes became longer and took on more suitable to the shape of my eyes .
After the procedure, I stopped using mascara for a month.
I'm sure the eyelashes could have stayed looking even longer, but I couldn't help but wash my face regularly.
Including in the first few days, when doing this is especially not recommended.”
Olga Baranova, Kuznetsk.
“I decided to try lamination to correct the problem of naturally eyelashes .
Overall, I liked the result , despite the fact that in the first two days the eyelashes looked somehow wet and stuck together.
And less than a month later there was almost nothing left of the result .
In principle, during this time I liked the way my eyelashes looked, but this procedure was too expensive for me: I was counting on a more lasting result.”
Daria Chernova, Moscow.
Advantages of eyelash lamination
Before you go to the salon for eyelash lamination, you need to carefully weigh all the arguments and decide whether there is a need for this procedure. By assessing the consequences and comparing all options, you can make the right decision.
Biolamination has many advantages.
- A noticeable effect is a pronounced curl, rich color, thickness, length for short eyelashes and volume for thin eyelashes.
- Protection from negative environmental factors.
- There is no need to spend money on mascara and other cosmetics.
- The base contains natural ingredients that nourish the eyelashes. After the procedure, they become thicker and stop falling out.
- The effect lasts up to two months.
- Safe for health.
Coloring occurs without ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, so the base does not burn the eyelashes, but rather nourishes them. But certain elements of inorganic chemistry are still present in paint. However, you don’t have to worry about the health of your hair.
Eyelash health is an additional plus of lamination.
If eyelashes are naturally beautiful, then you may not expect a noticeable result from the procedure. But lamination will transform dry, thin and short ones beyond recognition; they will look like in a photo from a magazine.
After lamination, you can apply mascara, but the effect will not be very noticeable.
If after extensions and bio-perms the eyelashes become brittle and weak, then lamination heals them and gives them beauty without any consequences.
The effect of this procedure is natural and natural, which has been a trend in recent years. Crude, fake-looking eyelash extensions and false eyelashes like those in Photoshop are a thing of the past. With lamination, they will look as if nature itself had endowed them with thickness, volume, length and beauty.
How to fix unsuccessful lamination?
In the first 24 hours after the procedure, all the compounds are fixed - therefore, the eyelashes cannot be wetted or dyed. If lamination is unsuccessful, it is within these 24 hours that it is easiest to correct the consequences with minimal cost. All compounds are washed off and reapplied.
If more than a day has passed since the unsuccessful lamination, the fixing composition has already penetrated deeply into the structure of the eyelashes. It can be removed with a special liquid, but re-lamination is not recommended - the chemical load on the hairs is too high. It's good that eyelashes renew themselves faster than hair. After a month, the lamination procedure can be repeated.
