Types of eyelash extension techniques

There are 2 technologies of eyelash extension: piece (lash) and volume (beam).

The first, depending on the materials used, includes 4 techniques:

• Japanese. Synthetic hypoallergenic materials are used: silk, sable, mink. The thinnest of them are Mink eyelashes (mink). The material is flexible, soft, with a glossy shine, so it looks like natural eyelashes. The effect of brightly colored black eyelashes will delight artificial hairs of the Silk type (silk). Sable will give gorgeous thick eyelashes. Mink and silk are suitable for wearing for 1-3 months, sable - only for a one-time event: the severity of artificial hairs negatively affects native eyelashes.
• American. Artificial hairs in this technique are called silicone, which does not differ from the materials of Japanese technology in anything other than the name: elements of different thicknesses, synthetic and anti-allergic material, and claims about their ability to withstand the temperature of steam rooms and saunas are an advertising stunt.
• Indonesian. The advantage of this technique lies in the gluing of the hairs with a special agent, which includes antiallergenic components that nourish and strengthen the native eyelashes.
• Volumetric. If in the techniques described above one artificial eyelash is glued to one natural eyelash, then in this one there are several: two additional hairs give a 2D effect, three - 3D, maximum - 7D. Thanks to the use of thin materials (0.07 mm), the result of the extension looks natural.

The technology of volumetric or beam extension is used only in the technique of the same name: a bundle of 2-5 artificial hairs, glued together, is attached to one real eyelash. The method has only one plus - the relative speed of the procedure. The main disadvantage is unnaturalness.
