Types of eyelash extensions. Photo 2d, 3d, fox, classic, natural effect

In the 50s, the first types of eyelash extensions appeared and immediately became popular with women. Since then, building technologies have been greatly improved, with 2d, 3d, fox, classic, natural and many others effects appeared. It has become more difficult to distinguish artificial eyelashes from real ones, because naturalness and naturalness are in fashion.

Qualitatively extended eyelashes look absolutely natural, both in reality and in photographs.

Features of 2d eyelashes

Extension of 2d eyelashes, differs from the classic:

• Artificial mink hairs, silicone, silk are used.
• You can choose the thickness of the eyelashes individually.
• The bend of the hairs has different shapes and is marked with letters: "U", "CC", "C", "J".
• Eyelashes are attached by 2, for each own hair.

Thanks to the last point, the hairs after the procedure look voluminous and fluffy. The look remains natural, without a hint of vulgarity.

Types of extension techniques

The types of eyelash extensions (photos are presented below) differ in the way they do the work:

• Japanese technology. The material for the artificial eyelashes is silk. The villi are built up in 2 rows. That is, silk hairs are first attached to their own. After that, carefully add the 2nd row of villi. The effect after this procedure lasts a long time. The eyelashes are stronger, so if one of the villi falls out, it will not be noticeable.
• Beam technique. Thin silicone eyelashes are attached to their own hairs with a special glue. But unlike the Japanese method, here a ready-made bundle is fixed, consisting of 2 hairs, the ends of which diverge to the side, forming the shape of the letter "V". This procedure is more affordable, but the effect is less practical and lasting. If one bundle falls out, a noticeable gap will remain in its place.

Otherwise, the building process is carried out in the following order:

1. The master, using a special liquid, removes the remnants of makeup from the client's eyelids.
2. The eyelashes and skin around the eyes are degreased.
3. The lower eyelid is closed with a special pad, shaped like eye patches.
4. A primer is applied to the hairs.
5. The ciliary row is divided using tweezers, pushing each hair aside one by one.
6. With another tweezers, with oblique edges, take the material for extension (one eyelash or a bunch). The base is dipped in glue and attached to the real hair, to its base, less than 1 mm away from the skin.
7. Wait for the glue to set (from 3 to 5 seconds).
8. Repeat the procedure until the entire ciliary row has been processed.
9. A fixative is applied.
10. The eyelashes are gently combed and the procedure is over.

Then the master explains the rules of care, gives advice and answers the client's questions.

Advantages and disadvantages

What are the advantages of 2d building:

• The eyelashes become thicker, fuller and longer.
• The effect doesn't look artificial. The appearance of the eyelashes remains natural.
• Artificial hairs are attached for a long time, which means that there is no need to paint them with ink.

The extended eyelashes shown in the photo, regardless of the type, have disadvantages that you should be aware of before visiting the salon:

• There are contraindications. Most likely, the salon will refuse to carry out the procedure for a girl with thin and damaged eyelashes, for fear of aggravating the situation. Fastening artificial hairs - load on the root bulbs of native eyelashes. This means that if you stick your eyelashes on weak hairs, they will fall out.
• Pregnant women are also not recommended to do extensions. It's about hormonal changes and metabolism. In girls in position, the ciliary row is updated faster than usual. It doesn't matter what kind of eyelash extensions you choose, 2d or 3d. The build-up will not last long.
• There will be a slight feeling of discomfort after the procedure. You will have to get used to new eyelashes, as well as follow the rules for caring for them.
• In order for the natural, classic effect to remain attractive, it is necessary to visit the salon and make corrections. Owners of the fox and squirrel effect will often have to visit the master.

When the owner of thick artificial eyelashes wants to remove them, it should be borne in mind that native hairs will need careful care. Long-term wearing of extended villi becomes detrimental to natural ones. They will become weak and thin. In addition to these disadvantages, sometimes allergic reactions to glue or the hairs themselves occur.

In this case, the extension will become inaccessible forever.

Features of eyelashes 3d

To give triple volume to your own ciliary row, 3 hairs are attached, almost analogous to the 2d technique. However, if you stick 3 artificial hair to your own hair at once, then a strong load is created, which will lead to weakening and loss of eyelashes. Therefore, 2 eyelashes are attached to the native hair, and the third is fixed on the skin, creating an additional row.

The effect is bright and noticeable. The eyelashes become lush and long.

Extension technique 3d

It is allowed to apply the effects as when creating a double volume, but only for owners of healthy natural eyelashes. The finest artificial hairs are selected for this procedure.

The order of the wizard:

1. Removes makeup.
2. Degreases the skin and eyelashes.
3. Places pads on the lower eyelids to protect the lower eyelashes.
4. Applies glue to the eyelashes, which is also called resin. This substance dries completely only after a day.
5. With tweezers it separates the ciliary row, with the other tweezers it grabs the material, 1 hair at a time, and fixes them at the base of the native hair without touching the skin. When the first row is completed, the procedure is repeated, the second row is laid out.
6. The last row of eyelashes is attached to the skin behind your own. To do this, the artificial hair is dipped in glue and pressed against the edge of the eyelid. For fixation, hold for 5 seconds.
7. Applies a fixative to the joints of the hairs.
8. Gently combs eyelashes. Asks the client to blink, asks if there is any strong discomfort, if the length interferes. Gives advice and advice on care.

The process is very painstaking, so the procedure will take about 3 hours.

Advantages and disadvantages

What are the advantages of 3d eyelashes:

• Good, highly visible effect. The look will become attractive and expressive.
• Lasting result. Eyelashes are glued on, with proper care they will delight the girl for 3 months.
• During this period, there is no need to spend money and time on makeup.

There are more disadvantages of extended 3d eyelashes than advantages:

• The effect does not look natural. It will be immediately clear to everyone around that these are artificial eyelashes, and not their own. Rather, this technique is suitable for creating an unusual look for photo shoots or holidays.
• A strong load on the native hair. After removing the build-up, the girl runs the risk of being left with "naked" eyelids. "
• More frequent correction is required. When natural hairs fall out, a strong gap forms in their place, which will ruin the whole impression.
• More scrupulous rules of care and adherence to precautions when wearing.
• Extension is not done for girls with vision problems.
• Large expenditures of funds for the procedure and correction.

Before deciding to build up in a triple volume, you need to weigh all the pros and cons, so that later you do not regret your decision.

Similarities and differences between 2d and 3d extensions

The types of eyelash extensions (photographs of the master's work help to choose the appropriate effect) differ not only in appearance. The difference lies in the extension technique and the number of artificial hairs.

Materials

When building up a double volume, both natural and artificial materials are used. To create the most natural effect, the lashes are made from mink, sable or kolinka wool. Their villi are similar in texture and thickness to human eyelashes. The coat of the mink does not shine as much as the Kolinsky or the sable.

Therefore, if you want to create a natural look, it will be better to choose mink fibers.

Allergies can develop from natural wool. There are hypoallergenic cilia, consisting of a thin polyester thread. They are suitable for the owners of sensitive and discharged skin. With an increase in volume in threefold size, use the thinnest eyelashes, no more than 0.07 mm thick.

Synthetics are the material for the fibers of this thickness. Depending on the initial state of the native eyelashes, the use of mink pile is allowed. The procedure in this case will be more expensive.

External differences

It is visually difficult to distinguish between the types of eyelash extensions, especially for non-professionals. Each person can have a different density of native eyelashes, so one effect of the extension looks different for each girl. In some cases, triple volume may look leaner and less frequent than 2d.

How long do it take

The time of the procedure depends on the skills of the specialist and the density of the client's ciliary row. The more native hairs, the longer the extension will last. On average, the time to obtain the 2d effect is from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. 3d building is done longer - from 2 to 3-4 hours.

The correction time will depend on how many eyelashes have fallen out, on their general appearance and condition.

Effects in eyelash extension

The hairs are glued of different lengths, the order of their fixation will depend on the desired effect.

Natural effect

To obtain this effect, artificial fibers of the same length are used. They are evenly distributed over the entire ciliary row, without thickening or lengthening. The option is suitable for girls who do extensions for the first time. So that the eyelashes get used to the load gradually. Also, the natural effect is suitable for people over 45 years old.

Fox effect

Artificial hairs are glued short, from the inner corner of the eye, gradually lengthening to the outer corner. Thanks to this, the eyes take on the shape of an almond. The effect gets its name from the similarity in the location of the animal's eyelashes.

Gives the feminine look cunning and mysterious.

Squirrel effect

From the inner corner to the outer one, hairs of the same medium length are glued. Longer eyelashes are added at the very edge of the outer corner of the eye. The look becomes expressive. The effect is not suitable for women over 40 years old, as well as for those with overhanging eyelids. Their gaze will become heavier, and their eyelids will visually become even lower.

With eyelashes of different lengths

The effect is called Rays. The villi are fixed in randomly different lengths along the entire ciliary row. The technique is suitable for women who are over 40 and for those who have a heavily overhanging upper eyelid.The look will become lighter, and the eyelashes will cover the overhanging eyelid, visually enlarging the eye.

Color effects

An effect for creating an informal image and for conducting photo sessions. The order of fixing the hairs along the length can be any, but colored villi are added to them. They can be located closer to the outer corner of the eye or make up a pattern.

For example, alternation of 2 colors forming vertical stripes.

Rhinestones and sequins

Types of eyelash extensions (photos show 2D, 3D, fox effect, classic, natural) can be additionally decorated with small rhinestones or sparkles. They are fixed with special glue and firmly adhere to the hairs. Most often, rhinestones are placed at the outer corner of the eye, fixing at the roots of the eyelashes.

How long does the effect of eyelash extension last

2d eyelash extensions last 2 to 3 weeks. After this time, the natural renewal of the hairs begins, so you will need to visit the master again for correction. The triple volume effect lasts longer. Due to the alternate fixation of the villi in a natural row, when the artificial hair is detached, gaps are imperceptible.

Each type of eyelash extension emphasizes the feminine look in its own way. To achieve the correct effect, you need to listen to the advice of the master. He will select the right technique, depending on the type of appearance and some features. After that, the look will become attractive in reality and in photographs.
