Curls of eyelashes for extension: l, m, s, l, d, ss, b, j, 3D. Photo, dimensions, thickness and length

Eyelash extension allows you to make the eyes expressive, and the image is more attractive, regardless of the age and color type of a woman's appearance. With the correct selection of the bend, you can achieve a strong visual correction of the shape of the eyes towards the ideal face shape, forehead height, nose and chin size.

The role of curling eyelashes for extension

Curls of eyelashes are an important criterion for a high-quality extension procedure. They are selected individually, depending on the initial data of the client and the desired result. When building up, the master can use one or more of their types.

The selection takes into account the following factors:

1. Strength of natural eyelashes. The tighter the bend, the harder it is for the lashes to hold it.
2. Harmonious look. Correctly selected bend can improve the shape of the eyes, the wrong one can spoil (even with good natural data).
3. Duration of wear. With the right choice of bend, the eyelash is worn for a long time and does not break off, do not fall out too often.

Favorable eye accentuation is possible not only with volumetric extensions (2D, 3D), but also with classic or incomplete ones. In this case, the effect is achieved by lightly highlighting the natural beauty of eyelashes (extension through 1.2 eyelashes, highlighting the outer corner of the eye).

For lovers of super expressive eyes, there is an ultra-volume extension (4D-7D). When up to 7 artificial hairs are extended for each native eyelash. In this case, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the eye itself will not be visible under a thick layer of eyelashes.

Types of bends

There are 8 main types of bends, of which about 4-5 types are popular and often used. Each of them is suitable for a specific type of eyelashes and eye shape. They are classified by letters of the English alphabet in the following order:

1. J - inconspicuous (which gives what it looks like) - almost a straight hair, with a barely noticeable curl at the end. It is often used to extend the lower lashes or create the most natural look with classic and incomplete extensions. It is also appropriate if you have long but sparse eyelashes.
2. IN - insignificant - unlike the J-bend, it has a slightly more curled tip. Used when it is necessary to create an invisible accent on the eyes. For most women, their own eyelashes are identical to the curve B. Due to this, an amplification effect is achieved that is not visible to others.
3. FROM - medium - visually opens the eye due to a moderate but visible bend. Suitable for any type of extension. In most cases, women prefer this particular type.

   

4. D (SS) - significant - ideal for solving problems such as lack of volume of eyelashes, drooping eyelids, eyelashes growing down. Such eyelashes can completely change the perception of the eyes and the face in general, but it will not work to achieve naturalness when using this bend.
5. M - significant - differs in apparent length and volume, in comparison with identical eyelashes of other curves. Recommended for women with eyelashes growing down.
6. U - very strong - extremely curled eyelashes, when extended, the Baby Doll effect is achieved. Suitable for young girls who prefer a similar style of dress. When building up, it is important not to overdo it with volume, otherwise the eyes will look ridiculous and ugly.
7. L - very strong - the bend is distinguished by a straight base with a bent (in other cases, the hair is curled) end. This look is suitable for women with straight eyelashes, eyeglass lovers. When used correctly, it is an effective eye shape corrector.
8. L + - very strong - a cross between L and CC bends. It is used to create an open-eye effect in the presence of puffy, drooping eyelids.

In addition to the main types, some manufacturers supplement their lines with C +, Q bends and other non-standard options. Most often they are either analogs of some kind, or differ slightly from it.

Eyelash extensions length

Eyelashes for extensions differ not only in bend, but also in their length. Their classification in this case is determined by millimeters and starts from 5 mm, ends with 18 mm. Many manufacturers produce eyelashes 20-25 mm. They are built up for a short period of time during photo shoots, performances, themed evenings to enhance eye makeup.

Eyelashes 5-9 mm long are quite thin and fragile. When working with them, you must be especially careful. They are built up at the inner corner of the eye and are designed to give more volume than length.

Eyelashes 10-14 mm are the most common and versatile. They have an ideal length-thickness-weight ratio. It is most convenient for craftsmen to work with them.

Eyelashes 15-18 mm long are used to build the outer corner of the eye and give the look the desired effect (fox, squirrel, ray-like, and others).

Important. An experienced, qualified master uses from 3 to 6 different eyelash lengths when extending. The smooth transition guarantees a beauty and natural look and does not unnecessarily weigh down natural lashes.

Volume and thickness

The thickness of the eyelashes is also important for eyelash extensions. The larger it is, the more voluminous the eyes look. Also, the thickness affects the weight of the hairs.

The minimum dimensions are 0.05 - 0.08 mm. They are ideal for the 3D-7D extension technique, creating a delightful effect. At the same time, the total mass of eyelashes does not weigh down the eyes.

Thickness 0.1 - 0.13 mm is used for classic or 1.5-2D extensions. In this way, the effect of natural, bright eyes is achieved without unnecessary burdening of natural eyelashes.

The thickness of 0.14 - 0.19 mm is used by masters in the classic version of building. The result is the effect of eyeliner underneath. The cilia are strong, elastic, but lightweight - therefore suitable for daily wear.

Thickness 0.2 - 0.25 mm is used exclusively for enhancing the image and highlighting the eyes in photo or video filming, performances on stage. Due to their size in wear, they are quite tough and uncomfortable.

Important. The thickness of the eyelashes plays an important role in achieving the uniform desired volume. Especially if a woman has empty spaces in the eyelash growth area.

Hair material

The material from which eyelashes are made for extension can be of several types.

Natural animal fur... The hairs from the ears or tails of squirrels, foxes, arctic foxes are used, which are processed in a special way. They are soft, lightweight and elastic.

Of the minuses of the material, the masters distinguish:

• unequal bend, length and thickness;
• gradual color fading;
• allergic reactions in women with sensitive eyes;
• change in bending during wear under the influence of external environmental factors (humidity, temperature).

Due to the large number of negative qualities, this material is rarely used by professional craftsmen.

Natural rubber fiber... They are distinguished by high elasticity, sufficient strength. In rare cases, they can provoke allergic reactions.

Eyelashes have one significant drawback - an unreasonably high cost. As a result, the cost of the entire procedure increases, so not every woman can afford such eyelashes.

Synthetic fiber... The most commonly used type of material.

There are three main types of monofilaments from which the hairs are made:

1. Polished acrylic. The first eyelashes for extension were made from it. They were quite tough and durable, had a pronounced glossy sheen. They had no gradation in diameter and bend (mainly C, D-bend 0.24 mm thick). The wear caused discomfort due to the low elasticity.

2. Polyester. The advantages of the material of the master include

• elasticity and softness in work and subsequent daily wear;
• low degree of deformation;
• uniformity of color along the entire length;
• hypoallergenic;
• no possibility of burnout;
• hydrophobicity.

The material rightfully occupies a leading place in the market for the production of artificial eyelashes.

3. Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) - possesses positive characteristics similar to polyester, is easy to use. The difference is the great variability of eyelash options.

Allocate:

• matte fiber (mink) - has a deep black color, suitable for a natural effect when building up;
• glossy fiber (sable, silicone) - heavier, brighter hairs. With their help, you can achieve the effect of eyeliner;
• semi-matte fiber (silk) - the lightest of the produced eyelashes. Suitable for thin, weakened eyelashes. The downside is their color - it is lighter, with a gray tint.

Important. Before the procedure, you should consult with the master, find out what materials he uses, whether they are suitable for achieving the desired result.

How to choose the size of eyelashes under the eyes

Curls of eyelashes for extension, as well as their length and thickness, are selected taking into account several important factors:

1. Characteristics of natural eyelashes. Strong, healthy hairs can easily withstand almost any extension (up to super voluminous). And to weak, prone to fragility and loss of eyelashes, an individual approach is required. It is important to choose the right material that will do the least harm.
2. Desired result. Depending on the effect a woman wants to get, the master chooses hairs with suitable parameters.
3. Initial data of the eyes. The reference form is considered to be almond-shaped. Therefore, when building up, most often the master strives to correct the eyes to such a shape. By choosing different curves, length and thickness of hairs, it is possible to raise the outer corners of the eyes, to make the gaze open, wide open.

There are several private tips for selecting the parameters of eyelashes when extending.

Advice 1. The older the woman, the more natural extensions are recommended for daily wear. Thus, age-related changes on the face will not stand out.

Advice 2. The fox build-up effect will help to correct the eyes that are close to each other. It will also make round eyes more harmonious.

Advice 3. For owners of bulging eyes, masters recommend building up with a squirrel effect.

Tip 4. For young girls with an Asian type of eyes (narrow, slit), a puppet or ray-like effect is best suited.

Tip 5. The eyes located deep in the sockets are corrected by applying the maximum possible bend.

Tip 6. With light lashes of medium length, you should not choose the maximum possible sizes, since such an extension will look unnatural with daily wear.

Tip 7. If a woman likes to wear glasses (sunglasses or eyeglasses), it is preferable to choose L or L + curves. Since other eyelashes will hit the glass, which causes discomfort and may lead to partial breakage of the material.

Tip 8. If you are not sure exactly what size and effect a woman needs, you can use disposable false eyelashes of different lengths and curves. The ability to evaluate the eyes in several variations will help determine the desired result.

Popular eyelash curves and effect

Curling eyelash extensions can create different eye effects.

Common are:

1. Natural effect. It is created by lash-by-lash extensions of short hairs (no more than 2-3 mm longer than natural eyelashes).Thus, you can emphasize the natural beauty of the eyes without raising suspicions about the fake eyelashes. However, in this case it will not work to correct the shape. More often performed with eyelashes with J, B, C - curves.
2. Fox effect. It is created by smoothly increasing the length of the hairs from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one. The look becomes mysterious and attractive. It is performed with eyelashes with M, L, L + -bends.
3. Squirrel effect. It is achieved by a smooth, but slight increase in the length of the eyelashes 2/3 parts of the eye (starting from the inner corner) and a sharp transition to a greater length at the outer corner of the eye. The building process is similar to the fox effect, but the difference in lengths makes the look bright, extraordinary and exciting. It is carried out with eyelashes with B, C, D, L - curves.
4. Radiant effect. It turns out when alternating several lengths in the process of building. As a result, the eyes begin to "shine" like the sun. The look becomes open. It is carried out with eyelashes with C, D, M, L + -bends.
5. Baby doll effect. Achieved in the process of volumetric hair extension of the same length (not less than 12 mm). The effect is not always comfortable to wear, since the native eyelashes at the inner corner of the eye are thin and short. they find it difficult to support the weight and length of the fake eyelash. In most cases, this option is chosen by young girls. He is able to give the image of romance and naivety, make you younger. On adult women, the baby doll looks ridiculous and comical. It is performed with eyelashes with D, M, U, L + -bends.
6. Millennium effect. When building up, the master, at the request of the client, uses rhinestones, feathers or colored hairs. The eyes become bright, defiant, noticeable. Suitable for brave girls or evening outings. Performed with eyelashes with any curve.

How bending affects the result, aftercare and correction

Curling eyelash extensions have a big impact on the final result of a master's work. However, the subsequent care and correction procedure are the same for all hair parameters.

Leshmakers recommend adhering to a few simple rules to preserve the effect obtained:

1. Don't sleep face down. Despite the high degree of elasticity of modern materials, systematic and prolonged crinkling of eyelashes leads to their deformation.
2. Do not rub your eyes with your hands. A bad habit not only among women with extended eyelashes. Thus, the thin and delicate skin around the eyes is stretched, which leads to premature wrinkles.
3. Reduce the use of makeup. As the eyes become expressive and bright, it becomes easy. You can use shadows, liners. It is necessary to wash them off with a cotton swab or a thin cotton pad using micellar water.
4. Avoid the use of oily or oily cosmetic products. With today's vast assortment of all kinds of lotions, make-up removers, creams and serums, it will not be difficult to find alternative remedies.
5. Do not tug or pull on your eyelashes. It is harmful not only for extended, but natural eyelashes.

The development of the beauty industry, including in the field of eyelash extensions, through the development of new materials, types of bends and related devices, makes it possible for every woman to feel more attractive and desirable after making such a slight correction of her appearance.
