How to choose the optimal size?
First of all, your master should study how long your natural natural hairs are. Because it is recommended to select the length of the extensions based on the size of the real ones. There are several general rules.
- Hairs with a length of less than 7 mm are attached only to the lower eyelid, since on the upper eyelid they will simply be lost in the general mass and will be invisible.
- For ladies who do not have too long and thick eyelashes, a length of about 10 mm is suitable. Such hairs will be very similar in properties to real ones, so they will not cause heaviness or discomfort on the eyelids. The eyes will look natural and not provocative.
- If the natural hairs are 7–8 mm long, and the extensions are 12 mm long, then the effect will be very significant. Your eyes will immediately look different and unusual.
- If your own hairs are quite long and thick, then you can increase the length to 14 mm. Also, this size of artificial eyelashes is suitable for a special event.
- Eyelash extensions with a size of 15 to 20 mm are very rarely done. Usually for some event, after which they are removed. Such eyelashes are not suitable for daily wear, as they break and wrinkle during sleep.
Before the extension procedure, consider the length and volume so that you don’t have to think about cutting your eyelashes
Favorite celebrity procedure: everything about eyelash extensions
For several seasons in a row, models with long and thick eyelashes have appeared on the catwalks. Celebrities also supported the trend: Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and others can no longer be seen without eyelash extensions.
Extensions are suitable for all girls: with thick, sparse, long or short eyelashes. Over the past 10 years, extension technologies have made great strides, and now this procedure does not harm the hair at all. Using a special rubber-based glue, tiny bundles of 2-5 eyelashes or individual eyelashes made from sable, mink, silk and nylon hair are glued to the natural eyelashes.
In the lash menu (from the English lash - eyelash) you can find classic extensions in one volume, double, triple and “Hollywood volume”, and with the help of a specialist you can choose the length, thickness and curl. On average, initial extension will cost 2000 rubles.
The main thing is that in the end the eyelashes look natural and the image remains light.
And now about the pros and cons of eyelash extensions.
Pros:
- The look becomes more expressive and feminine.
- For a month, you don’t need to apply eye makeup every morning and wash it off in the evening.
- You can slightly change the shape of your eyes, making it, for example, almond-shaped.
- You can stop rubbing your eyes and just touch them for no reason, because this trick won’t work with artificial eyelashes.
Minuses:
- The larger the volume of eyelash extensions, the higher the likelihood of dust particles getting into the eyes.
- You can't sleep with your face on the pillow.
- It is possible to be allergic to the materials used, so consultation with a specialist is necessary before the procedure.
In a word, if you don’t try, you won’t know. In connection with the triumphant return of artificial eyelashes to fashion, popular nail and brow bars began to include eyelash extension services in their menus. In addition, specialized places for this purpose began to appear - lash bars.
LashBar (from 3000 rubles)
In this place not far from the Trubnaya metro station they do both eyebrow tinting and makeup, but their main “specialization” is eyelashes. You can do whatever you want with them here: extensions, curling, coloring and lamination. What is important is that all procedures are carried out in separate rooms on couches. For complete relaxation, clients are offered audiobooks or music.

Brow&beauty bar (5700 rubles)
Less than a month ago, Alla Akperova’s network of beauty salons underwent dramatic changes, and on the occasion of rebranding, a new space opened on Bolshaya Bronnaya. The minimalist interior perfectly complements the new concept - this is the first salon promoting the ideas of natural beauty. That’s why people here like eyebrows wide and thick, makeup fresh, and eyelashes graceful and not very voluminous.
Manikuroff (from 1300 rubles)
Despite the low prices, the chain of beauty studios provides guaranteed quality from top professionals, which Ksenia Borodina and Olga Buzova have already appreciated. Not long ago, makeup services, eyebrow shaping and eyelash extensions were added to the beauty menu. You can do both classic extensions and “Hollywood volume”.
Beauty Balance (from 2000 rubles)
A place where you need to sign up well in advance. There are many masters here, they make a wide variety of eyelashes, and if you wish, they can teach you in their courses.
Earlier, beauty expert Alexey Savostin told Life that in the pursuit of beauty, the main thing is not to overdo it.
Why Eyelash Extensions May Be Too Long
The choice of fiber size is influenced by the effect the girl wants to achieve. Kinds:
- Natural. The length of the hair extensions increases from the inner to the outer corner of the eyelid.
- The sparse effect is achieved by alternating different hairs.
- Puppet. Only long fibers are used along the entire growth line.
- Squirrel. Short fibers are glued to 1⁄3 of the eye, long fibers are glued to the remaining 2⁄3.
- To create a 3D effect, the master plants fibers in three rows. Externally, the frame looks unnatural.
In most cases, girls do not listen to the opinion of lash makers and choose their own form.
To avoid the further need to trim the frame, you must find a qualified professional.
He will select an option that takes into account all parameters in accordance with facial features. Artificial fibers should not differ from native fibers by more than 2-3 mm.
Can eyelash extensions be trimmed?
Even an experienced technician can find it very difficult to make all the eyelashes of the right size at once. Therefore, sometimes during the extension process you have to shorten individual hairs. But there are other reasons why women wonder whether it is possible to cut eyelash extensions at home.
- I'm not happy with the size that ended up being.
- They made it a little longer than it was before, but I want to return it to how it was.
- I'm tired of this length of eyelashes.
In such cases, you can try to solve the problem yourself at home, without resorting to the help of a specialist. But remember that a lot depends on the complexity of the extension done. In some cases, it is almost impossible to evenly shorten the hairs on your own. But if there was only partial attachment of the hairs, then independent adjustment of the size is possible.
You can adjust the length of your eyelashes yourself at home
Do you even need to trim your eyelash extensions? After all, if initially you were satisfied with the result, and then you didn’t like the length, then where is the guarantee that you won’t change your mind again? But returning to the previous length will be much more difficult. You will have to remove old eyelashes and add new ones.
Therefore, first, think about the situation from all sides, entertain this idea for several days, and only then decide whether you need to shorten your hair.
Correction of eyelash extensions
Attention: Correction is carried out strictly no later than two weeks.
Later a new extension is performed.
Why do you need eyelash correction?
Practice has shown that eyelashes are worn for an average of 3 weeks, a certain percentage of girls wear eyelashes for up to 4-5 weeks, but given the circumstances that shorten the wear period, we still sometimes need eyelash correction. Taking antibiotics, hormonal pills, menstrual periods shorten the wear, and as a result, correction is needed.
In order not to lose the original aesthetic appearance due to eyelashes that have become “out of order” or fallen out along with the natural eyelashes, it is necessary to make a correction. It is difficult to determine the time after how long to correct eyelash extensions due to individual characteristics: some will need it after 2 weeks, while others will wear it for a whole month. A natural eyelash lives on average from 30 to 40 days. After extensions, artificial eyelashes begin to move from the base of the eyelid in the direction of growth of natural eyelashes.
When should correction be made?
Eyelash correction is done after 1.5-2 weeks of wear and allows you to restore the original volume. Each eyelash, like hair, has its own life cycle, and depending on how they are renewed, corrections need to be made.
Much depends on the careful attitude of the client. There are many reasons why the period of wearing artificial eyelashes is reduced:
- Sleeping in the “face-to-pillow” position. If you have eyelash extensions, you will have to watch your position while sleeping.
- Using makeup removers containing alcohol and fatty oils, and face creams with a greasy consistency. Alcohol and oils have a detrimental effect on glue for eyelash extensions.
- Visiting the sauna. High temperature (sauna, steam bath) can shorten the wear of eyelashes.
- Careless handling of eyelashes. Any mechanical impact.
How long does eyelash correction last?
Eyelash correction prolongs wear by an average of 2-3 weeks.
How does the eyelash correction process work?
At the time of correction, clients must have at least 50% of artificial eyelashes, the rest either fall out by this time or have grown strongly.
In a conversation before starting the procedure, the master must find out what volume, thickness, length, and curl of the eyelashes were performed on your eyes. To do this, clients must come with a “Client Card” after their last visit to our studio!
First, the specialist removes regrown eyelashes, as well as those eyelashes that do not hold well. Checks all eyelashes and leaves only those that can be corrected.
How long does the eyelash correction procedure take?
Correction time approximately 1 hour-1:15 minutes
What is the result after correction of eyelash extensions?
As a result of timely correction, your eyelashes will become more voluminous, and you will not feel discomfort while wearing artificial eyelashes. Your eyes will be expressive at any time: day or night. Correction allows you to extend the wear of eyelashes for girls who do not wear eyelashes well or prefer to always look brand new in connection with important meetings, etc.
Dear Girls,
Registration for correction is carried out strictly through the administrator!
When you come for correction, you should have the eyelash formula with you (volume, length, thickness, eyelash curl)!
After eyelash extensions, you will be given a “Client Card”; you must save it until the next extension or correction.
We come to the correction without make-up and with well-washed eyes!
It is absolutely forbidden to be late!
If you are more than 15 minutes late, the master has the right to refuse to perform the procedure on you! Girls, remember - after you there is a dense recording and you are disrupting the Master’s working mode.
Is it possible to shorten eyelash extensions?
Questions about whether eyelash extensions can be cut or trimmed arise after unsuccessful procedures. Of course, cosmetologists do not recommend cutting eyelashes yourself, but all sorts of situations happen, and sometimes you have to break the rules.
The result does not always meet girlish expectations - for example, when the unnatural length of eyelash extensions reveals their origin even in the photo. Over time, you may get bored with a specific shape - “fox” or “squirrel”, in which the largest hairs are attached to the outer corners of the eyes - the owner will want a classic version.
For some girls, the ends of their eyelashes, covered with mascara, leave dirty marks on their upper eyelids - by shortening them, it’s easy to get rid of the problem.
What should you do if your eyelash extensions are too long, or if a novice artist has created uneven eyelash extensions? There is only one way out - pick up the scissors and correct the result.
Please note that polymer fibers can be trimmed by a maximum of 2-3 mm - otherwise their bending is disrupted and the material becomes brittle. If you want drastic changes, it is better to go to the salon, remove your eyelashes and re-extend them.
Olga Buzova
Model-singer-TV presenter Buzova often gets into trouble by poorly choosing outfits or hairstyles, and also by abusing photo editors. This image was no exception. Heavy makeup on the upper eyelids, “seasoned” with defiantly lush artificial eyelashes, does not go well with the “bare” lower eyelid. Did they spare the eyeliner for him?
Reviews
Natalya: “A real boom in eyelash extensions has begun among my friends. I also succumbed to the temptation - I really wanted long fluffy eyelashes. Foolishly, I ordered the maximum length at the salon, and when I looked in the mirror after the procedure, I was horrified. From a modest girl I turned into some kind of vulgar doll. She demanded that the master trim the lint, but she refused, citing the fact that she already had her next client booked, and offered to come back in 2 weeks. I didn’t want to go to college for so long with a stupid look, so I started correcting it myself. But she made everything even worse - she failed to maintain a smooth line. Therefore, I made an appointment with a specialist in the regional center to have my eyelashes extended.”
Irina: “I love false eyelashes - with them you can often change your look to suit your mood. I deliberately buy those that are longer than my relatives, and already in the process of gluing I adjust them to fit myself using nail scissors. There’s nothing complicated about it.”
Tatyana: “At first I liked the shape of my eyelash extensions, but then I got tired of it. Therefore, I decided to modify them a little. I didn’t dare do it myself; my friend did the haircut. She’s already got her hands full on this matter - she corrects the bristles on her eyelids herself.”
Valentina: “I increased the volume using Japanese technology. The first weeks there was nothing, and then for some reason the line began to “break down”. The villi are then glued onto the natural eyelashes, but they apparently grow unevenly. I didn’t trim my eyelash extensions right away - I decided to practice on strip ones. I bought several pairs and began experimenting with the shape, applying eyelashes to my sister's eyes. In the end, I chose the option I liked and cut it according to it, using it as a template.”
Julia: “Once I decided to give my look a “squirrel” expression – I liked one artist’s photo. But then I realized that it was not mine, so I decided to cut it off. I didn’t go to the master, I did everything at home. True, I had to sit in front of the mirror for more than an hour. I cut out each eyelash individually, jumping from one eye to the other and moving from the middle of the eyelid in both directions to the corners. It turns out that such adjustments are more tiring than the buildup itself.”
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Long and thick eyelashes look beautiful and luxurious. Unfortunately, not every girl is endowed with these by nature. There is a good alternative in the beauty industry - eyelash extensions, which allows girls to make their look more expressive and open.
The lifespan of eyelashes varies from 3 weeks to 2 months. This depends on several factors. Here are some of them:
- level of professionalism of the extension specialist. Depending on how painstakingly the work is done and what materials are used, the wear period can be either short or as long as possible;
- The way your eyelashes grow also affects how long you can wear them. The moment your eyelashes begin to grow and renew themselves, the extensions fall out;
- the thinner the eyelashes, the longer the wear period, because heavy material creates additional stress on them;
- exposure to cosmetics containing oil shortens the wear period, as it destroys the glue that holds the eyelash extensions;
- visiting a sauna or bathhouse also negatively affects the wear of eyelashes, since the adhesive composition is destroyed under the influence of high temperatures;
- Taking medications that contain hormonal agents can affect the lifespan of eyelashes.
In order for your eyelash extensions to delight you with their beauty for as long as possible, you should follow a few simple rules:
- in the first day after extension, the glue should be allowed to dry well and strengthen, so you should avoid any procedures where there is exposure to water or steam;
- Do not touch or rub your eyes, this will cause eyelashes to fall out or peel off;
- It is recommended to limit any exposure to eyelashes, especially when it comes to sleep. The habit of sleeping face down on a pillow will significantly shorten the lifespan of eyelashes;
- When extending eyelashes, you should remember that cosmetics with fatty components negatively affect the adhesive base. The use of such products should be avoided or done very carefully, without touching the eyelashes;
- Eyelash extensions should absolutely not be curled with a curling iron. Any mechanical impact will shorten the wear period;
- to maintain their beauty, they must be combed daily with a special brush, which will be provided by the specialist after the extension procedure;
- if you need to wear glasses, you should not extend long eyelashes; in addition to the mechanical impact, walking with them will simply be uncomfortable;
- when swimming in the pool or at sea, you should use special protective glasses that will help avoid exposure to bleach or sea salt on your eyelashes;
- every six months you should give your eyes a rest and stop wearing eyelash extensions;
- You should only remove eyelashes from a specialist, since removing them yourself risks depriving you of your eyelashes.
Have you ever had eyelash extensions and how did you care for them?
Naturalness depends on length
With extensions, a woman solves 2 problems at once: she lengthens her eyelashes and makes them thicker. But it’s not always possible to guess both the length and the invented image. To make your look more natural after visiting a beauty salon, you must first consider what types of false eyelashes there are. They are distinguished according to 3 parameters.
Length
Decorative fibers have a length of 8-15 mm. The artist can use only one size of bristles or apply different lengths on the eyes, giving the look a certain look.
Diameter
False eyelashes have different section parameters. To make everything look more natural, use thin bristles (0.1-0.15 mm). If you need a light tinting effect, then it is better to use medium sizes - 0.2 mm. There are also ultra-fine villi with a diameter of 0.05-0.07 mm and heavy ones (0.25 mm).
Bend
All women's eyelashes differ in their shape, which is determined by the bend of the hairs. Therefore, the extended bristles must correspond to this parameter. There are many varieties of villi - from almost straight (j) to maximally curved (l). The most commonly used is the middle bend (c), which is considered standard.
Features of forms
To create a new image, one or another material is selected, on which the extension technique depends. There are 3 options in total: single bristles glued individually, bunched bristles and strip false eyelashes.
The latter are more popular at home due to their ease of use. You can also safely experiment with beams yourself. But the step-by-step option requires skill not only in extensions, but also in pruning.
