Features of male eyelash extension
Nature has not awarded everyone with beautiful eyelashes. In fact, not only women are worried about this, but also men. It's just that the latter talk less about eyelashes. So, male extension has literally become a trend. Some even work in the field of beauty and fashion, so they need an attractive and bright look.
Advantages and disadvantages
Male eyelash extensions look much better than regular makeup. Using mascara and eyeliner is more noticeable and problematic. It is worth contacting the salon to the master with the appropriate certificate. Then only good impressions will remain after the procedure. Let's list the main advantages of the procedure for men.
- The extended eyelashes are comfortable, do not cause discomfort during wear.
- Artificial hairs do not fall off water or tears.
- A man can lead a normal life. With extended eyelashes, you can go to the gym, bathhouse and other places with an aggressive environment.
- Many men believe that the procedure affects the quality of sleep. In fact, this is not so: you can rest in your usual position - your eyelashes will not be damaged.
You cannot do the procedure if you are allergic to cosmetic glue.
It is also worth refusing to build up if natural eyelashes are too weak or there are some inflammatory eye diseases. There are few contraindications to the procedure, but it is important to take them into account. Now we will describe the disadvantages of male extension.
- The adhesive can cause allergies in the form of redness, irritation and swelling. Before the first procedure, it is worth making a test.
- Natural eyelashes may start to grow less vigorously with regular extensions.
- There are many people in this area without the necessary knowledge. Finding a master with a certificate and experience is quite difficult.
From a technical point of view, the procedure does not differ in any way from the female one. Masters simply take into account the growth characteristics of male eyelashes and their length. The procedure can be performed in almost any beauty salon.
In this case, you can make sure that the extended eyelashes will be almost invisible.
The ways
The technology of male extension has only three important stages and does not differ from any other. The client with the master chooses the optimal length so that the result looks natural and discreet. A color is also selected, usually black or brown. There are also creative options, but men rarely use them. And last of all, the method of eyelash extension is selected.
It is important that the result of the procedure looks natural. Eyelashes should not be too long or flashy. Men are more likely to make more discreet options than women. Let's list the popular ways of building.
- Japanese. The hairs are fixed in 1 piece. The procedure takes quite a long time, but the result looks as natural as possible. This method is also known as eyelash. The result lasts almost 2 months. In this case, every 3 weeks it is necessary to visit the master for correction. This is because hairs fall out - this is a natural process. The gaps need to be filled in so that the eyelashes look neat.
- Beam. This method involves fixing several hairs at once. As a result, the bundle seems to grow from one place. The procedure is faster than using the previous method. However, the result lasts only 2-3 weeks. Correction is impossible, the procedure is simply repeated. This is because with the loss of one natural eyelash, a whole bunch of natural ones is lost.
The choice of eyelash extension method depends on the purpose. If a man needs an everyday option, then it is better to give preference to the eyelash method. The result will always be more flavorful and natural. If eyelashes are needed for some event, then bunches can be made.
It should be noted that men are more likely to have eyelash extensions as an everyday option, and not for the sake of an event.
Technology
Before starting any procedure, you must make sure of the professionalism of the master, the quality of materials and the sterility of the instruments. The technology is quite simple, the client can control the quality of the extension.
Extended eyelashes allow not only to beautify the appearance, but also to hide some imperfections. So, hairs may not grow due to burns or injuries, so the procedure is simply necessary.
At the very beginning, the master must prepare the client for the procedure - this is an important part of the technology. So, the hands of the master and the face of the client are cleansed. If there are cosmetics on the eyelashes, they are removed. The further course of the procedure largely depends on the chosen method. Building technology involves 6 important steps.
- A special pad is fixed under the eyelashes. It allows you to weed out the lower hairs and protect the skin from the ingress of glue.
- The top row is degreased with a special agent. All hairs should dry well, this usually takes a couple of minutes.
- The adhesive is applied to a special clean work surface. The master lowers artificial material into it with tweezers.
- Eyelashes are extended in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the inner one. Initially, the hairs are laid out on a sterile plate, from where the master takes them during the procedure.
- The specialist spreads natural combed eyelashes, making room for artificial ones. Places hair in glue, removes excess with a cotton pad. The artificial eyelash is brought up to the natural one.
- The craftsman controls the location of the material and glues it. Then he deals with the following hairs.
During the procedure, the client's eyes must be closed. This allows you to correctly position the material - along the growth line. Moreover, this way the eyes will be protected from accidental contact with glue. Usually the procedure takes about 1 hour, but much depends on the chosen method and the initial condition of the eyelashes.
Extension can be carried out not only on the top, but also on the bottom row. During this action, the eye must be open. This allows the craftsman to match the peculiarity of the eye shape with the arrangement of natural hairs for proper adhesion of artificial ones. After the procedure, excess glue is removed with a special oil, it dissolves the composition. After building the top row, the client should lie down with his eyes closed for about 15 minutes to consolidate the result.
