Emergence
It started in the United States and over time reached other countries. California was where the first brands began to emerge and become popular. Over time, it took on a large proportion in Europe, where it practically became a fever.
Stretching
Both aim to give volume and curl to the eyelashes. What we can differentiate are the techniques used. During stretching, the strands are glued one by one to the natural eyelashes. Extension is a more specific procedure, it works based on facial visagism, so it is more detailed.
Are natural eyelashes harmed by lengthening?
They are not, what can happen in some cases is that the weight of the strands applied accelerates the natural process of natural eyelashes falling out.
Benefits
The lengthening guarantees ease when doing makeup, in addition to allowing more comfort when the woman goes to the beach or pool, so she doesn’t have to worry about removing mascara or false eyelashes.
Disadvantages
If on the one hand it has advantages, on the other hand it also has disadvantages. The procedure lasts an average of 20 days, so if your life is busy and you don’t have much time to spend going to the salon, this wouldn’t be a good option. Maintenance needs to be done correctly, otherwise the wires will start to come loose and become completely uneven.
Eyelash extensions and mascara
Even with eyelash extensions, women can continue using mascara if they wish. What is not recommended is that she use waterproof masks, as they damage the hair and removal is not easy.
Care
Don’t think that you just have to do the procedure and that’s it. You need to maintain some care for good results.
- Firstly, avoid touching and/or rubbing the eye area, this can remove the glue.
- Secondly, immediately after application, it is recommended that you do not wet your eyes.
- Also, don’t use anything oily in the area.
- And fourth and lastly, remember to do maintenance frequently
Types and formats
Russian volume
It is also known as special stretching. Multiple ultra-thin and delicate extensions are used here, allowing you to place from two to twenty strands on a base, without harming your natural hair. It has a “fan” shape.
Wire to wire
Glue the strands individually to each natural strand. This technique is for those looking for more naturalness. You can apply it from the beginning to the end of the eyelid or just from the middle of it to the end.
Hybrid
