Eyelash extension 4D effect. Before and after photos, bending, reviews

4D eyelash extension is carried out using lightweight fibers on an artificial basis. The main purpose of the procedure is to visually lengthen the framing of the eyes, making them look larger and more expressive. This effect attracts the attention of people around you.

The procedure is based on increasing the volume of eyelashes 4 times. On each natural hair, the master glues 4 artificial fibers, the length of which is from 9 to 16 mm. A qualified lashmaker always uses 3-6 types of synthetic threads. This approach guarantees a smooth transition. The cost of the procedure ranges from 3500 to 4000 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

4D eyelash extension, the effect of which is not suitable for everyone, has both advantages and disadvantages.

The main advantages include:

• creating the effect of fluffy eyelashes in a few hours;
• applying makeup to the hair, which allows you to stop using mascara every day;
• perfect curling of renewed hairs;
• protection of eyelashes and skin for about a century from the negative effects of chemicals;
• the possibility of correcting an imperfect eye shape;
• a small number of contraindications for manipulation;
• gaining an expressive look;
• having an ideal eyelash shape at any time of the day;
• changing the image thanks to different volume options.

If we talk about the disadvantages of manipulation, then some girls note the difficulty of caring for artificial eyelashes. Mechanical damage disrupts the structure of hairs with a synthetic base.

Artificial yarns are notorious for skincare nutrients, soaps, and low quality cosmetics. The build-up needs constant adjustment. The disadvantage is the high cost of the procedure.

Bending

The main effects include:

• Natural... Has smooth transitions. Usually the hairs are slightly longer than natural hairs.
• Squirrel... Hair sticks along the entire length of the eyelid. The arch of the brow serves as the main lengthening point.
• Fox... The inner corner of the eye is framed by short fibers. The indicator begins to increase smoothly, reaching a maximum value in the area of ​​the outer corner.
• Theatrical... To obtain this effect, long fibers with a pronounced bending index are used.
• Sparse... Differs in alternating hairs with different length indicators. The elongated, ray-shaped cilia lend a more expressive look.
• Puppet... Lashes of the same length are extended along the entire eyelid. Usually the length is 10-12 mm.

The main types of bends include:

• J - the ends of the eyelashes are slightly twisted;
• C, B - bending is acceptable for any type of extension;
• D - suitable for rare natural eyelashes;
• M - applicable to ensure the volume of straight eyelashes;
• U - shown to achieve a puppet effect, as the bend has a strong expression and gives the girl a dramatic look;
• L - designed for a narrowed eye incision, contributes to the visual lifting of the overhanging eyelids, gives the eyes a roundness;
• L + - has many similarities with the previous type, has one more rounded end.

At the request of the customer, eyelashes can be supplemented with rhinestones, sparkles or blotches of colored fibers.

Training

Some rules should be followed:

• Before the procedure, do not dye or curl eyelashes with tweezers.
• In the presence of light natural hairs, build up dark fibers. 2 days before the procedure, paint them in the specified color.
• Remove contact lenses.
• Contact the master with a preliminary selection of the type of eyelashes. A professional will tell you how suitable this option is.

When preparing for the first procedure, it is advised to make sure that there are no contraindications to its implementation. If you have burning sensation, itching and tearing, you should visit a specialist.

Procedure step by step

4D eyelash extension, which lasts approximately 1 month, involves the initial stages:

• Selection of the optimal bend type. The end result is discussed between the professional and the customer. The lashmaker evaluates the shape, size and eye incision.
• Implementation of the choice of fiber thickness. With the 4D method, it should be no more than 0.12 mm.
• Covering the lower lashes with a silicone-based patch to create an adhesive barrier.
• Cleansing of the working surface of the eyes by a master from dust, tears, sebum, cosmetics. Degreasing and drying eyelashes.

Extension is a lengthy procedure. The timing depends on the professionalism of the performer and the type of procedure chosen.

There are two main ways - eyelash and bunch. The first method involves gluing 4 artificial hairs to one natural lash. The second method involves the formation of a bundle of 4 fibers with different lengths, united by a common base. In this case, the hairs diverge in the form of a fan. The bundle is glued to the natural eyelash.

The fibers are attached at a distance of 0.5 mm from the upper eyelid. Subject to the rule, the girl will not have any discomfort when wearing artificial eyelashes.

The lash method

The method includes the following steps:

1. Preparation... Silicone pads are applied over the lower eyelid. The selection of artificial hairs is carried out, the instruments are being prepared.
2. Build-up... The master lowers the tip of the fiber into the adhesive, selects the desired natural eyelash and attaches the material to it. The technique provides for the beginning of the process from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner. To create a uniform direction of the ciliary row, the position of the fibers is fixed with tweezers.
3. Final... After gluing the fibers, the master removes the silicone lining, and then the extended eyelashes are combed. The effect is fixed by means of a special retainer.

The eyelash extension is carried out in 1.5-3 hours. It makes no difference which eye to start the procedure with. An important component is the optimal choice of eyelash length. Fibers that are too high will make the eyelids heavier and cause natural hair loss.

Beam method

The main stages involve:

1. Bonding of silicone eye pads to fix the lower lash line.
2. Applying a small amount of adhesive to the bundle and root of the eyelash to connect them. While the glue dries, the master adjusts the location. After drying, you can start gluing the next bundle.
3. Removing silicone pads.
4. Securing the result with a fixing agent.

Gluing of products starts from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one. A smooth transition effect is created. The length increases gradually. The bend must have the correct shape.

The beam extension technology is much faster than the eyelash extension. However, the method has one indisputable drawback: with improper care or mechanical damage, the entire beam falls out, which is fraught with thinning of the eyelashes.

Care procedures after

Eyelash extensions 4D, the effect of which many girls like, requires compliance with certain operating rules. This will prolong the wearing period and not harm natural eyelashes.

The following recommendations should be highlighted:

• The first day after the procedure, you should not wet your eyelashes. With lacrimation, it is advised to gently blot moisture with a cotton swab or handkerchief.
• Artificial hair should not be touched by hand.
• Sleeping on your back is not advised. Extended eyelashes, when in contact with the pillow, begin to deform and break.
• It is forbidden to tint eyelashes with mascara. It is allowed to apply the product only on the bottom row. Eye shadow and eyeliner can be used.
• It is not advised to use greasy eyelid creams. They can break down the adhesive.
• You need to wash yourself with warm water. Hot water is contraindicated.
• To get rid of excess oil and skin impurities, use micellar water.
• Do not twist artificial fibers with special tweezers. This provokes their breakage loss.
• Baths, saunas and solariums should not be visited.
• When planning a visit to the sea, you should do this no earlier than 3 days after the procedure. Otherwise, when exposed to high temperature and moisture, eyelashes will begin to fall out. At sea, you should try to dive rarely. Sunglasses must be worn when sunbathing.
• When extending too long eyelashes, glasses should not be worn, as the surface of the glasses may disrupt their structure.

To correct flaws, it is necessary to visit the lashmaker in a timely manner. The first procedure is carried out one week after the extension. Subsequent renewal is done every 2-3 weeks. After this period, natural eyelashes begin to fall out, which entails a reduction in artificial hairs.

The master uses artificial eyelashes, a special brush and an adhesive. After combing the eyelashes, the professional removes those hairs that will soon begin to fall out, degreases each eyelash and only after that starts gluing new ones. The cost of the procedure is 1000-3000 rubles.

The table shows the advantages and disadvantages of correction:

A contraindication to correction is profuse eyelash loss and thinning of their structure. In this case, it is advisable to remove the artificial fibers and give the eyes a rest.

The meaning of the correction is lost if the eyelash extensions were worn carelessly or for a very long time. When more than half of the hairs need to be replaced, the restoration procedure becomes longer. After a certain period of time, another manipulation will be required. In this case, it is advisable to build up again.

Contraindications

4D eyelash extensions (the effect is not always positive) is not suitable for all girls.

The main contraindications include:

• Thinning and weakened eyelashesthat cannot withstand the load of natural fibers. The build-up effect does not last long in this case. Violation of the hair structure can be caused by a natural factor or mechanical stress.
• Close-set eyes... Increasing the volume of the eyelashes will highlight the deficiency.
• Bulging eyes... Extended eyelashes will draw attention to the area and will look ugly.

If you have the above criteria, you shouldn't take risks. The result will come out negative. Eyelash extensions will look sloppy.

How long will the result last

The timing may vary. They depend on the type of eyelashes and the quality of the adhesive. With a fine hair structure, artificial fibers last longer.

Also, the effectiveness of the procedure is determined by the following factors:

• the rate of eyelash loss and regrowth of new ones;
• eye care;
• hormonal background;
• the presence of allergies;
• watery eyes in the wind.

With proper care of the eyelids, the effect can be extended to 3-4 weeks. In any case, before building up, you should weigh all the pros and cons. The procedure should only be carried out by an experienced technician.

Possible complications

4D eyelash extension (the effect of the procedure is different) has the following risks:

• Corneal infection... The extended hairs help retain microbes on the skin of the eyelids. Insufficient cleansing creates conditions for the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria. The first sign is swelling and redness of the eyelids.
• Loss of eyelashes temporary or permanent.
• Skin injury through the instruments used for the procedure.
• Pathological reaction on liquid hair removers.
• Inflammatory process in the conjunctiva and cornea... Redness and itching appear after a certain time after the procedure, and it is impossible to predict the development of the inflammatory process.
  
• Allergic reaction... Formaldehyde is included in the glue. The use of a carcinogen is restricted in many countries due to health hazards. The substance can cause the development of tearing, the formation of crusts at the root of the hairs, itching.
• Mdaroz... With pathology, partial or complete loss of eyelashes is observed.
• Development of dry eye syndrome... Extension of fan-shaped eyelashes provokes an increase in the effect of air flow when blinking, which provokes dryness of the mucous membrane of the eye.
• Alopecia... Girls with thin and weak eyelashes are at high risk during the procedure. Women with strong hairs are also prone to hair loss. Eyelashes begin to fall out intensively due to the tension created by artificial fibers. The load contributes to damage to the bulbs, due to which the growth of hairs slows down or stops altogether.
• Demodex... The glued eyelashes become an attraction point for mites. The activity of the parasite causes infection. The pathology can only be established with a medication.

Before the procedure, you must familiarize yourself with the composition of the adhesive and the fixative. They must not contain formaldehyde. If there is inflammation, you should immediately remove the eyelashes in the salon with a master, and then consult an ophthalmologist.

Doctors do not recommend eyelash extensions. Health risks increase, while the procedure has only an aesthetic effect. When planning 4 D eyelash extensions, you should opt for a clinic or beauty salon, which observes all sanitary standards and uses high-quality products for an effective procedure.
