The doll effect in eyelash extension is usually preferred by girls who are accustomed to being the center of attention. This type of transformation should be chosen only with extensions in the classical technique, capable of revealing the true state of natural hairs.
In the presence of the proper strength of natural eyelashes and there is no need to significantly correct the shape or shape of the eyes, the lashmaker can offer the client to try the doll effect in extension.
What is a puppet effect
The doll effect of eyelash extension is not in high demand among modern girls. Usually they resort to this type of artificial hair attachment technique for an upcoming photo shoot, a holiday event or a day when it is necessary to attract as much attention as possible, standing out from the rest.
A feature of this extension, which distinguishes it from other effects, is the use of synthetic hairs of the same length by the lashmaker throughout the entire upper eyelid. For the convenience of wearing eyelash extensions, the specialist may suggest that the client build up the villi shorter in the inner corner of the eye.
Regardless of the girl's answer, the size of the artificial eyelashes is not only not selected individually, but also significantly exceeds the length of the native hairs.
To create the maximum possible volume and "open up" the eyes, extension experts suggest to evenly arrange artificial eyelashes on both the upper and lower eyelids. As a result of the application of this technique, the girl's gaze is visually puppet and the natural cut of her eyes is emphasized.
Pros and cons of the extension technique
The puppet effect in eyelash extension, like other cosmetic procedures, has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Their preliminary study is necessary not only to understand the upcoming process, but also to minimize the occurrence of an unforeseen result.
The advantages of this type of technology include:
- instant result in correcting appearance;
- the ability to change natural data (for example, slightly increase the size and shape of the eyes);
- increasing the brightness of the girl's image (extended eyelashes using the "doll" technique, especially when attached to both eyelids, attract the attention of others in the first place).
Among the disadvantages of the puppet effect are:
- the minimum period of wearing (usually most of the extended eyelashes crumble already 2 weeks after the procedure);
- the need to be very careful when wearing eyelashes of maximum length (their integrity is easily damaged, which can lead to a deterioration in the condition of natural eyelashes);
- deterioration in the quality of native eyelashes associated with the large weight of artificial hairs (in the vast majority of cases, they are attached several pieces per natural hair);
- the need to think through the details of your everyday image (it is not recommended to wear lenses, glasses with this type of extension, and also apply a large amount of bright makeup, especially on an oil or oily basis).
Who is the puppet effect suitable for?
The doll effect of eyelash extension is not suitable for every girl.
This type of transformation is recommended for those who:
- regularly attends social events or, by virtue of his profession, must look perfect at any time of the day;
- seeks to attract attention and make an impression on any significant event or celebration;
- used to experimenting with his appearance and is not afraid to look strange to others;
- has naturally wide-set eyes.
The puppet effect usually makes the first positive impression on the client, but in the future, rarely anyone dares to repeat it again.
Most of the girls stop at the classic extension techniques that involve creating a natural look.
Doll eyelashes are not suitable for owners of almond-shaped and elongated eyes, as well as those whose outer corners are down. Dense framing of artificial hairs will make the eyes even smaller, ruining the general appearance of the girl. In this case, a 2D eyelash extension will be more appropriate, which increases the volume of hairs on the eyelids, but does not suppress the natural beauty of a woman's face.
Contraindications to building
To minimize the risk of complications as a result of doll eyelash extensions, lashmakers recommend that their clients familiarize themselves with a number of contraindications. If there is one or more circumstances from the list below, experts advise the girl to refuse the type of transformation under consideration before the normalization of the state of health:
- eye diseases in the acute stage, for example, conjunctivitis;
- sensitivity of the visual organs (including a tendency to eye diseases);
- increased thinness and fragility of native eyelashes;
- psoriasis;
- period of pregnancy;
- lactation period;
- inflammatory diseases;
- individual intolerance to the components of the materials used (for example, allergy to the adhesive composition);
- increased body temperature.
Regardless of external circumstances, the girl is categorically not recommended to extend her eyelashes on her own. This will not only not bring the desired effect, but can also adversely affect the health of the organs of vision, in particular, the mucous membranes of the eyes.
Also, incorrect attachment of artificial hairs to the present usually leads to an increase in the fragility of native eyelashes, which is almost impossible to fix in the future.
Selection and preparation of materials
The doll effect of eyelash extension can be achieved only with the correct choice and proper preparation of working materials by a lashmaker.
The procedure will require:
| Work material type | a brief description of |
| Artificial eyelashes | Considering that natural eyelashes can cause an allergic reaction in a client, lashmakers use synthetic fiber in their work. The length of the artificial hairs involved in the work of the master is selected after evaluating the girl's initial data. |
| Tweezers | The tweezers should be special, with curved ends. This contributes to the firm grip of the artificial villi and its correct positioning in the ciliary row. |
| Glue for eyelashes | Lashmaker should have in his arsenal not only adhesives of various colors (transparent, black and brown), but also hypoallergenic glue. |
| Duct tape | It is necessary to separate the ciliary row of the lower eyelid from the ciliary row of the upper one. |
| Degreaser (or primer) | It is applied to the eyelashes before the extension procedure to remove excess sebum and improve the adhesion of the adhesive to natural eyelashes. |
| Solvent (or debonder) | Necessary in case of removing excess glue or removing incorrectly glued artificial eyelashes. |
Technique, 2D / 3D doll eyelash extension
The technique of performing a 2D volume doll eyelash extension implies that the lashmaker follows the main stages of the procedure under consideration:
- The client assumes a horizontal position, in which he will comfortably stay for the next 2-3 hours.
Puppet effect of eyelash extension. Scheme - Lashmaker evaluates the girl's initial data (length, density and health of her native eyelashes), disinfects her hands and prepares working materials necessary for subsequent work.
- An adhesive tape is applied to the lower lash row, preventing the lashes from the upper row from sticking to the lower lashes.
- The eyelashes are combed and degreased.
- From two artificial hairs, using tweezers and glue, the master forms a bunch, which is subsequently attached to one natural eyelash.
- Repeat step 5 until the entire ciliary row is filled with double bundles of artificial fibers.
- Comb the eyelashes, check them for gluing and, if there are no visible errors, remove the adhesive tape from the girl's lower eyelid.
The technique for creating 3D volume differs only in that the bundle consists not of 2, but of 3 artificial villi attached to 1 natural eyelash.
The scheme for building up the puppet effect is generally accepted for all types of transformation of the type under consideration:
- Fill in the inner corner of the eye with artificial hairs.
- Attach false eyelashes to the outer corner of the eye.
- Fill in the voids in the center (the center is located directly above the pupil of the girl with her gaze directed straight ahead).
- Extend eyelashes in the remaining areas of the eyelid edge to the right and left of the center.
Is it better to use classic, 2d or 3d?
What is better to use in her image, a classic, 2D or 3D volume, a girl can be advised by a lashmaker only after analyzing her natural data, as well as the goal pursued in building. The choice of technique is also influenced by the makeup, which a woman is used to applying to her face and the lifestyle of a particular person every day.
The classic extension is suitable for owners of thick thick eyelashes who do not seek to correct the shape of the eyes or their shape. In this case, artificial hairs will complement the look, correctly creating an accent on the girl's eyes. At the same time, the classic will not affect the lifestyle of its owner, and also will not require special measures from her to take care of the extended hairs.
2D is suitable for those whose eyelashes are sparse, but strong at the base (only in this case, double volume can be maintained for more than 2-3 weeks). The 3D effect is not suitable for everyday wear.
It gives the image vulgarity and makes it difficult for the girl to manipulate her face every day. It is recommended to do a triple volume on the eve of a photo shoot or a festive event, where catchy makeup and emphasis on the eyes will be appropriate and will not add curiosity to the general image of a woman.
If the girl wants to transform the volume after completing the extension procedure, the lashmaker will need to remove all artificial hairs and reattach them to natural eyelashes, observing the stages of the technique chosen by the client (that is, changing the classic to 2D, for example, by simply adding eyelashes to the eyelid, will not work).
Leaving and prolonging the effect
The puppet effect in eyelash extension will last as long as possible only if its owner observes the recommendations for caring for artificial hair.
Lashmakers advise after building up:
- refuse to apply cosmetics to the face and eye area for 2-3 hours after the completion of the procedure;
- do not steam the skin for 3 days after building up;
- avoid contact of glue with water for 24-30 hours after the procedure;
- do not use cosmetics containing oils and fatty acids (they destroy the adhesive composition, which leads to a weakening of the adhesion of artificial hairs with natural ones);
- do not sleep with your face in the pillow;
- do not rub your eyes and avoid any mechanical action on the eyelashes.
Daily brushing of the eyelashes with a special brush given to the client by the master can help prolong the effect of the doll-like look. Movement during the ordering of the hairs should be directed from the base to the tips of the eyelashes.
The average duration of wearing this type of extension is 2-3 weeks, after which the girl will need to visit a lashmaker for the correction procedure.
Correction
When visiting a master in order to correct the existing extension, the girl may be offered to completely replace the ciliary row of artificial hairs. This may be appropriate when most of the synthetic fibers fall out or lose their original appearance (for example, they stick out in different directions or the bend has changed due to mechanical action).
In other cases, the lashmaker performs correction, observing the main stages of the procedure under consideration:
- The client takes a horizontal position in which it will be convenient for him to be for the next 30-60 minutes.
- The lower lashes are separated from the upper lashes with adhesive tape.
- The master arranges the upper ciliary row with a brush, after which he visually assesses the condition of the artificial hairs and determines the actual voids that require filling.
- The voids are filled with synthetic lashes of the appropriate length and curve.
- The upper ciliary row is combed again.
- In the absence of "splashes", the lashmaker removes the adhesive tape from the client's lower eyelid.
Can I use makeup after building up?
After creating a puppet effect in eyelash extension, it is not recommended to use cosmetics for 2-3 hours. During this period, the final adhesion of the artificial material to the "native" takes place, therefore, at the specified time, any external influence on the artificial eyelashes can affect the quality of socks.
After this time, the use of cosmetics is allowed, but only if they do not contain oils or fatty acids that can negatively affect the adhesive composition, significantly disrupting the density of the connection of two different types of hair structures.
How to carry out water and hygiene procedures?
The puppet effect of eyelash extension implies a complete rejection of water procedures within 2 days after the procedure. Water that gets on the eyelashes can weaken the adhesion of artificial hairs with natural ones, significantly reducing the already short period of wearing this type of extension.
After 48 hours, you can wash and carry out hygiene procedures, but only following the basic recommendations:
- do not rub your eyes;
- do not apply soap solutions to the ciliary row;
- when removing cosmetics from the eye area, it is recommended to use micellar water, which should be applied to a cotton pad;
- avoid hitting a direct powerful jet of water on the eyelashes while taking a shower;
- do not use oily creams, especially avoid contact with the eye area.
Eyelash extensions can both transform the everyday image of a girl and give it solemnity, emphasizing the natural cut and shape of the eyes. The puppet effect, despite a number of shortcomings in its technique, is considered the most suitable for those who seek to significantly increase the volume of "native" eyelashes without correcting the initial data.
