How to choose the best tweezers for you

What factors should be considered when choosing tweezers for eyelash extensions?

The type of material. Preference should be given to models made of stainless steel or Japanese alloy steel. They are durable and hygienic and will last a long time if used with care.

Coating. The following options are distinguished:

- Satin - by simply sanding the metal, the tool obtains a matte finish, the weight of the collet does not change.
- Mirror coating - polishing the metal to a mirror shine, the weight of the tool does not change. Some professionals are comfortable working with mirror-coated tweezers: the coating helps to "check" the lashes. But for some this option may be just a distraction, as the eyelashes are like "multiplied" in reflection. In addition, in full light a mirror coating dazzles, and over time it can begin to "magnetize".
- Colored enamel - previously it was thought that good tweezers can not be colored. However, this is not the case. Professionals now often see black or blue tweezers. This is a tool coated with a special paint composition, which is antistatic and prevents the artificial hairs from becoming magnetized. The high-quality color coating prevents the tweezers from slipping in the hand. However, it also slightly increases the weight of the product.
-Rainbow (multicolor) - is a kind of metal treatment (galvanic effect), it does not affect the weight of the tool. This coating looks very nice and pleases many craftsmen. However, in bright light it can dazzle, which can hinder the work.

Weight of the tongs. This factor is extremely important for the comfort of the practitioner. An eyelash extensions procedure lasts approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Therefore, the tools should be light so as not to tire the hands. It is especially important for beginners: the possibility of occurrence of unpleasant sensations due to lack of habit is much higher, and the time for a procedure at the beginning will be invested more. In addition, discomfort during the work reduces the accuracy of movement and, therefore, the quality of the result. However, you should know that the tweezers for Mega Volume should not be too light. Otherwise, it will be difficult to form and hold the fans.

Sharpening the tweezers. The tweezers for eyelash extensions should be well sharpened. The best models are sharpened by hand.

Ease of movement of eyelashes. Your comfort also depends on this parameter. If during the whole work you will have to make too much effort to close the tweezers, your hands will quickly get tired, the quality will deteriorate, and the procedure itself will be longer. That is why you should choose a tool that is not elastic.

Closing the tweezers. On this parameter also depends on the degree of your comfort. If during the whole work you will have to make too much effort to close the tweezers, your hands will quickly get tired, the quality will deteriorate, and the procedure itself will be longer. That is why you should choose a tool that is not elastic.

The tips of the tweezers. The tips must be completely identical to each other and must close perfectly.

Aperture of the tweezers. The optimal distance between the open flaps is considered to be 6-8 mm. A change of this value in either direction indicates that the tool is not suitable.

What is the name of the eyelash tweezers?

Straight tweezers are used to separate the natural eyelash. But there are professionals who also use this tool to work with artificial eyelashes in classic extensions. Curved tweezers are divided by the shape and length of the tip.

What is the best volume eyelash extensions tweezers?

When asked which tweezers are best for Volume eyelash extensions, many lash specialists are willing to recommend the L-tweezer or axe-type tweezer. It has wide flaps that hold the fans more securely. It is suitable for professionals who master the manual technique (when forming a fan by hand, not on the adhesive strip). The optimum length of the tip of the L tweezers is 1 cm after the curve.

How to apply eyelashes with the tweezers?

Incorrect gripping of the tweezers in the hand causes problems such as slow working speed and uncomfortable sensations in the wrists and fingers. The tweezers should be held with three fingers: thumb, index and middle finger. Four fingers, i.e. also the ring finger, can also be used. The middle (or ring) finger should be one phalanx away from the tips.

What is the most popular eyelash extension tweezer?
