What Material are Eyelashes Made of?
To start, let's immediately dispel the myth of the existence of Asian Silk, silicone, and other eyelashes. All eyelashes on the market are produced from hypoallergenic mono-filaments. Extra-fine fiber content is provided by silicone, which affects the elasticity of the eyelashes. Currently, 100% natural Siberian mink extensions have already been introduced in the market, which are much more expensive than mono-filament lashes.
Warning!
Be very careful, because many centers advertise that they use natural hair extensions, which is not actually true due to the very low cost of this treatment. 100% natural hair extensions can cause allergies in people who have allergies to animal hair. You can identify 100% natural hair extensions because they come hand-placed on a tray and are marked as REAL MINK 100%. They have an intense and very shiny black color, and the tips are uneven, while synthetic extensions are cut at a single length and the tips are equal.
How to Select the Thickness of the Eyelashes?
Eyelashes vary in thickness. There are diameters of Ø 0.05, 0.07, 0.10, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 mm. The thickness of the eyelashes you choose depends on the effect you want to achieve. For example, if you want a close-to-natural effect, you may choose lashes with a diameter of Ø 0.10 or 0.15 mm. These lashes are ideal for blondes and for women with thin and weak lashes, as they allow to increase the thickness of the eyelashes while maintaining a natural appearance.
How to Choose the Curl of the Eyelashes?
Eyelashes also have different curls. For a correct application of different eyelash curls, the professional can adjust the shape of the eye and the eyelid. There are various curls, including J - a light curve, B - a slight curvature for a natural effect, C - a medium curl for an expressive look, D - the most severe curl, and L and L+ - where the base of the extension is straight, with a sharp angle turning into a curve. The curl, thickness, and length are chosen individually for each client, depending on the desired effect and the shape of the eye.
What is the 6D Technique for Eyelashes?
In the last two years, the 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D or even 9D technique has become very popular. It's ideal for people with weak lashes because it provides volume and a very natural appearance, as the lashes are super light and flexible. Depending on the chosen effect and the number of each person's own lashes, the application of this technique can take from one and a half to three hours. In 6D effects, 160 to 460 extensions are applied per eye.
