After the extension or long-term staining of the cilia, the hairs are depleted. They become brittle, light and irregular in shape. To restore natural beauty, many girls resort to eyelash lamination. This is a special treatment aimed at restoring the natural strength and speed of hair growth.

What is lamination?

Lamination is an eyelash restoration procedure offered by modern cosmetology. It is performed with special formulations enriched with nourishing oils, mineral components, active vitamin complexes and acids. It is noteworthy that in the process of regeneration of the rod, the process of hair dyeing also occurs. They darken to a natural color, due to which they look as long and thick as possible.

Pros and cons

Disadvantages of eyelash lamination:

• A month after the procedure, the hairs stick out in different directions. It is important to understand that the technique is a kind of perm. Rollers are placed under the hairs, which fix a certain shape of the curls. With regrowth, the curl changes its position, which is why it looks sloppy.
• The likelihood of allergic reactions. During pregnancy and lactation, it is not recommended to conduct a biolamination session, since the likelihood of a histamine reaction is high. The formulations include vitamins, acids and other active substances that can provoke edema, itching, increased lacrimation.
• For some time after the session, hair needs some care.
• The procedure does some harm to the natural curvature of the hairs, which can cause irritation of the mucous membranes.

How is the procedure in the salon and at home

If a woman has experience in handling dye compositions for the eyes, then she may well do lamination and dyeing of eyelashes herself at home. But, in the absence of the appropriate skills, it is better to trust the professionals and go to the salon.

For the procedure, the following compositions can be used:

• Botox... It is used to correct short and brittle eyelashes. Traditionally, the session is carried out using a botulinum toxin solution. Only, unlike beauty injections, it is not injected subcutaneously, but is applied to the surface of the hairs. In addition to a safe toxin, the composition includes vitamins, oils, Panthenol, paint (analogue of Refectocil).
• Keratin... It is necessary for intensive treatment of hairs after eyelash extensions. This substance is one of the building materials of the hair shaft. In the process of such lamination, the eyelashes become elastic, shiny and incredibly nourished.
• Gelatin... Provides a short-term effect, disappears with keratinization. Him, for which special curlers may not even be used. As a result, the hairs will become flexible and shiny.

Most often, this procedure is carried out together with hair coloring. The technique includes the following stages:

The difference between before and after is immediately noticeable. Each eyelash is clearly traced, due to which the effect of density is created. Botox technology is designed for long-term use, so the correction will not be needed earlier than in a month.

Keratin lamination

The process of eyelash keratinization, with the exception of the products used, is very similar to the treatment of hairs with Botox. To carry out keratin restoration, a complex of vitamins and minerals is used, supplemented with hair protein. The most famous materials are produced by Si Lashes & Brows and Shine Lashes.

Technique for performing keratin lamination of Yumi Lashes eyelashes:

• The skin and hairs are cleaned of dust and cosmetics, degreased with special alcohol-free lotions and dried well. Then a moisturizing and emollient cream is applied to them. This will protect the epidermis during treatment and provide a deeper effect of the restorative complex.
• A silicone lining is glued under the lower eyelid. It will protect the skin from accidental dyeing. A special silicone mold is attached to the upper eyelid, which acts as a curler.
• The painting technology is as follows: lifting the hairs on a roller, the master applies a nutritious and fixing composition to them. This ensures a beautiful curl, shade and thicker lashes.
• The medicinal formulations are applied with a thin brush, which gradually dyes over each hair.
• After 5 minutes, excess material is removed from the hair surface with a metal scraper and dye is applied to them. In this position, the client will have to lie for another 20 minutes.
• After that, the paint and keratin are removed from the eyes with a dry cotton swab, the linings are removed from the eyelids and the skin is covered with a protective cream.

Lamination at home with gelatin: step by step instructions

You don't have to buy the Novel Lash Up Starter Kit for eyelash lamination to look your 100%. With the task of strengthening and thickening the hairs, gelatinous compositions do an excellent job. Eyelash gelatin recipe:

• 15 grams of gelatin is poured into a metal container and 50 ml of warm water is poured. It is important to immediately stir the resulting mass thoroughly so that there are no lumps.
• After that, the gruel is placed on a very quiet fire and cooked for 15 minutes. Watch the readiness of the mass. You need to achieve complete uniformity.
• After that, a teaspoon of any available eyelash balm or coconut oil is added to the cooled mixture. The product is mixed again.

After preparing a cosmetic product, you need to apply it as quickly as possible.

Step-by-step instructions on how to perform home lamination of eyelashes:

• It is necessary to wash off cosmetics and dust from the skin and eyelashes, we recommend wiping the treated areas with a solution of Chlorhexidine.
• Cotton pads moistened with water are glued under the eyes. You can still use a greasy cream instead, but it will reduce the effectiveness of the lamination.
• Now you need to take an eyeliner and remove the eyelashes on it. In our case, it will replace professional curlers.
• After 20 minutes, the composition is removed from the eyes with paper napkins.

By the time the procedure lasts 30 minutes. It's not bad for the hair at all, so if you can't get the curl right the first time, you can try again. But only after the hairs are dry.

Laminating compounds

Professional lamination is carried out strictly using special compounds. This is a complex of preparations aimed at restoring hairs, coloring them and fixing the bend. Let's take a look at the most popular products:

• LVL Lashes... British product for cosmetic biowave. There are 3 composition options in the manufacturer's assortment. The sachet includes curling tools, a lifting complex and a moisturizing lotion.
• Novel lash up... This is a complete set for the biolamination procedure. It can be used at home, as well, the kit is often wielded by professional lesh-makers. The set includes tools (tapes, microbrushes, brushes, onlays and jars), solutions for the session (degreaser, fixative, remover, coloring pigment, lifting balm).
• Si Lashes & Brows... This is a keratin lamination kit. It is suitable even for nursing mothers, since it contains natural ingredients (keratin, Panthenol, castor oil and ginseng extract). The set also includes containers for mixing products, the necessary tools for work and a soft remover.
• Shine lashes... As with LVL products, this keratin curling product is available in three types: chemical, soft, gentle. It is worth choosing them depending on the problems with the eyelashes. If they are only after building, then it is better to buy a gentle complex, but if the hairs require extra-strong fixation and the effect needs to last at least 2 months, then the chemical composition is recommended.

Regardless of the composition chosen, the effect lasts up to 2 months with proper care. In rare cases, the beauty and brightness of the eyelashes lasts up to 10 weeks.

Eyelash care after the procedure

For the first 12 hours after the procedure, you cannot wash your face - the water will wash off the top layer and paint, which will make your eyelashes look less impressive. The next day, it is also better to avoid contact with running water, and cosmetics, if necessary, are recommended to be removed with mild toners or foams.

How to care for your eyelashes after lamination:

• Do not rub your eyes - this action will ruin the curl.
• For painting with ink, it is better to choose hypoallergenic cosmetics. Do not use waterproof products - they are more difficult to wash off.
• It is strictly forbidden to dive and bathe in the sauna. You need to be especially careful while staying in salt water.

Contraindications and consequences

The most important contraindication for lamination is conjunctivitis, chalazion, poor eyesight (myopia, hyperopia). Individual contraindications are clarified in consultation with a specialist.

It is important to understand that lamination is not only beneficial for eyelashes, but also some negative consequences. In particular, be prepared for the fact that when "your" untreated eyelashes grow back, the hairs will change their bend. A beautiful curl can turn into broken "spider legs".

Addictiveness is another consequence. Like eyebrow microblading, eyelash lamination sets off the hairs beautifully, but after rinsing it seems that they have become lighter than they were before the procedure. The pigments used in coloring do not have a highlighting effect and do not lighten the eyelashes.

Before and after photos

You can verify the expressiveness of the effect and the brightness of the hairs when viewing the photos before and after the procedure.

To prolong beauty, you can independently carry out correction procedures or visit your master.

People have always strived for beauty. A person's appearance speaks volumes, they knew this long before our era. The ancient Egyptians were the first to focus on eyelashes. They invented the prototype of modern mascara, which was actively used by both women and men.

Using an ivory stick, they applied a special pigment, which consisted of antimony powder, burnt almonds, honey, graphite and crocodile dung. Thousands of years later, special dyes appeared, which are known to us today. But daily makeup is also fading away. It is being replaced by procedures that can give a more lasting effect, do not harm health, save time on make-up. Eyelash lamination is a real breakthrough in the field of cosmetology, which wins women's hearts every day, occupying a special place in the world of beauty.

We reveal all the cards

The lamination procedure is harmless. And this is the main reason for its popularity, as well as the demand in the beauty industry. It nourishes with beneficial ingredients, minerals that help accelerate growth. In addition, it lengthens each hair, keeps the correct shape. It is especially relevant in the summer season, when it is uncomfortable to have a layer of cosmetics on your face. It is also nice that such cilia do not interfere at all, do not cause discomfort, do not create a feeling of a foreign body, which significantly differs from the extended ones.

Everything happens due to keratin, which is included in lamination compositions. It is a high-strength protein, the protein that makes up nails, hair, and partly human skin. That is why it has a very beneficial effect on eyelashes, increases their volume and makes them healthy. Plus, it protects from the sun's rays, frost and dust.

Also nice is the fact that after the procedure, the hairs continue to strengthen as new ones grow.

Only proven cosmetics

Lamination with Yumi Lashes has long been known in Europe. In Moscow, this drug appeared relatively recently, but has already managed to prove itself perfectly. Positive customer reviews are the main proof of this.

Today, most of the elite beauty salons use it. The secret of such success is that the manufacturers have added keratin to the composition, which does not spoil the hair, strengthens, nourishes it, and also neutralizes harmful chemicals.

Duration of the result

The effect after lamination lasts about 2 months. After 4 weeks, the form becomes less pronounced. But this is natural, because the eyelashes continue to grow. It is important that the composition that is applied is not washed out, it simply grows back along with the drags. This process takes place almost imperceptibly. Do not worry that after a while you will find the edges where the substance was applied. This is absolutely not visible, as, for example, when building.

The Yumi Lashes trademark has developed a special product to prolong the lamination effect. It is similar to simple mascara, although it has a slightly gel-like consistency. The composition contains components that give long-term care to your eyelashes.

Usually, the correction is carried out after 2 months. Please note that if a specialist suggests doing it earlier, then, due to the functional characteristics of the body, regeneration is faster.

With caution: pregnant women, during lactation, menstrual cycle and taking hormonal drugs, since a mild effect from the procedure or a shorter wear period is possible.

Benefits of the procedure

There is no need to talk a lot about the advantages of this manipulation. It is enough to look at the photos before and after, and everything will become clear.

What does lamination give?

1. A beautiful natural curve (even if you didn't have one before).
2. Live shine.
3. Elongation and thickening up to 30%.
4. Activation of the bulbs, which means a significant acceleration of the growth of eyelashes, their density.
5. Restored hair structure.
6. Additional coloring.
7. Complex nutrition.
8. Care-lifting.

After lamination, it is allowed to safely use a cream for the skin around the eyes, cosmetic products for washing. In addition, you can add expressiveness to the look with the help of mascara, it will not affect the duration of the effect in any way. The manipulation after the removal of eyelash extensions is especially useful. This allows the hairs to return to their former strength as quickly as possible.

What are the disadvantages

Although keratin lamination is considered harmless, it still has its drawbacks. Despite the fact that the composition is dominated by useful components, even the most gentle perm remains chemical. But don't be intimidated. If you carry out the manipulation correctly, adhere to all recommendations and take care of the hairs, there will be no negative consequences.

Important: The procedure has a cumulative effect. If you take a break for 1.5–3 months, the cilia will be renewed by 30-80%, the remaining eyelashes are re-covered with compounds, accumulating nutrients. During this period, do not forget to use the Yumi line of home care products to prolong the effect.

Another nuance is the formation of an irregular bend. If you overdo it with a perm, it can be a hassle for you. It will be impossible to paint your eyes with mascara if necessary, no matter how hard you try. And too curled eyelashes look a little ridiculous.

Sometimes there are cases when, after lamination, the hairs cannot be laid to form a beautiful bend. This happens, but very rarely. It does not always depend on the master, and the composition is an individual feature of the organism.

Strict taboos

Like any cosmetic procedure, keratin lamination of eyelashes has its own contraindications, which should not be neglected:

1. Surgical intervention in the eye area, chronic ailments, rehabilitation period.
2. Diseases of the mucous membrane or not completely cured barley.
3. Individual intolerance to the individual components of the composition.

Some masters also refer to pregnancy or lactation as contraindications. And although manipulation carries no danger, the expected result may not be. And the fact is that with changes in hormonal levels, a perm may simply not work. Although many expectant mothers actively use such a salon service, they have an expressive look without any harm to their health or negative consequences.

How is it going

Lamination is carried out in several stages, it lasts on average about an hour.

First, the eyelashes are degreased and fixed on a roller, which will form the future bend.

After fixing the roller, special compounds are applied.

The next step is staining.

Interesting: during the procedure, dormant tissues and bulbs are activated. Thus, new young cilia appear.

Gentle care after the procedure

Before carrying out any salon service, do not be too lazy to find out in advance about the proper care after. Having made eyelash lamination, you cannot wash your face during the day. If you want to get not only a decorative effect, but also a wellness one, you should not neglect this condition. The composition continues its work throughout the day. You will also have to sleep very carefully so as not to break the hairs, not to spoil their shape at the time of the bending formation. It is not recommended to rub your eyes. Therefore, if you are planning any important event, it is better to visit the salon 24 hours before it.

On the first day after the manipulation, the hairs look as if they are lightly glued together or abundantly oiled. In no case should you try to wash it off.

While you can coat your laminated lashes with mascara, don't use it too often. In addition, after the procedure, you will certainly look charming.

Lamination VS Extension

These two procedures cannot be called competing. The modern "pursuit" for beautiful eyelashes has divided all the girls into two groups: adherents of naturalness and lovers of showiness. How do they differ and how to choose the appropriate manipulation? The table will help to understand:

It is imperative to take into account the cost of both procedures: the average prices for extensions in Moscow are lower than for keratin lamination, but the sock of eyelash extensions is also less.

The decisive factors that will stop any hesitation between these two manipulations are natural data and the expected result. They both have the right to exist, and which one is right for you - decide with your master.

Lamination at home

Doing this procedure yourself is not worth it in any case. First, only a professional knows which technique to apply and when. Secondly, it is very important to choose the right product, to calculate the time for which to leave it on the eyelashes. And thirdly, throughout the entire manipulation, the eyes must remain closed.

Therefore, first weigh all the pros and cons, think a hundred times, is it worth trusting your health, even to your closest friend?

Post-effect

• non-compliance with care recommendations;
• internal characteristics of the body;
• violation of technology by the master;
• substandard cosmetics;
• pregnancy, lactation, hormonal imbalance.

As a result, the client receives zero of the expected effect, and the beautician - a blow to his reputation.

At the same time, a huge number of girls noticed that after lamination, eyelashes begin to grow more intensively, increase in volume, and keep their shape better.

There is only one conclusion: it is very important to choose a good master, a real professional.

Line ART - beauty guru

Eyelash lamination is a procedure after which your eyelashes become curled, harder and at the same time colored.

It does not spoil the eyelashes

I am doing lamination with Yumi Lashes - it is the most popular in Europe, now it has appeared in Russia. Everything that was used before the appearance of this composition is essentially just a perm of the eyelashes. But Yumi Lashes added keratin, which not only does not spoil, but strengthens the eyelashes, neutralizes the negative effects of chemistry. They will not thin out and will not fall out.

Popular

You can really not wear makeup

As I said above, lamination not only curls the lashes and lifts them up, but also includes dyeing them black. It looks as if you have applied one layer of mascara - very natural, but at the same time with the effect of painted eyes. Somewhere in 2-4 weeks after the procedure, the bending of the eyelashes becomes slightly less pronounced, but the lamination itself is not washed out of the hair, it “grows together” as new eyelashes grow, this is a natural process.

Regrown lamination will not be noticeable

After 1 - 1.5 months, lamination will begin to grow back, but this is not a problem, the eyelashes will not look creepy, as it happens when false eyelashes fall off. Regular mascara helps to hide minor blemishes. The Yumi Lashes brand also has a special mascara for laminated eyelashes, its consistency resembles a gel. This mascara has care components in its composition, and at the same time prolongs the lamination effect.

This is for a long time

Eyelash lamination is done no more than once every 2 months. If the master asks you to repeat the procedure earlier than 2 months later, you should look for another specialist.

Stages of the eyelash lamination procedure

How is the eyelash lamination procedure? To make it clearer for you what eyelash lamination is, let's take a look at the stages of this procedure, it usually lasts about an hour.

1st stage - eyelashes are fixed on a special roller that forms a bend. Roller size S - for very expressive curl and short lashes, size M - for medium lashes and moderate natural curl, and L - for long eyelashes and natural curl on them.

Technologies in the cosmetology field are developing literally every day. Some are replaced by others, more natural and healthy, because beauty is good, but without health it is very quickly lost.

More recently, eyelash extensions literally made a splash among lovers of looking flawless even without applying makeup. Today this service is performed in literally every salon and beauty parlor.

How lamination of eyelashes is done - this question is increasingly asked by girls, tk. this procedure is more advantageous in comparison with building

But extension has its drawbacks, so many people have a desire to find a more modern way to give the lashes the perfect look. An alternative to building up is lamination. Interestingly, the procedure can be performed not only in the salon, but also at home.

The essence of the procedure is to apply special formulations to the eyelashes. After their components are alternately absorbed into the hairs and follicles, the eyelashes acquire a natural shine. And, importantly, in the process of lamination, each hair is twisted.

The main component of the formulations is keratin. It is he who is used for lamination of hair - this is another popular procedure that can replace the already traditional extension. Keratin completely fills the cracks and literally fills the hairs from the inside. As a result, they become more voluminous, smoother and shinier.

But before lamination of eyelashes, it is recommended to conduct a small test for an allergic reaction to the components of the formulations. It is usually offered directly in the salon. Otherwise, significant redness may occur on the eyelids, accompanied by an unpleasant burning sensation and pain.

Pros and cons of eyelash lamination

Before doing eyelash lamination, you should familiarize yourself in more detail with all the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure.

The advantages include the following factors:

Useful and strengthening compositions significantly improve the appearance of eyelashes, it is they who play a leading role here, while during the extension, the main emphasis is placed only on the visual effect from the use of artificial materials.

The negative factors of lamination include:

• thin and naturally liquid eyelashes if necessary, you will need to tint, especially when applying evening make-up; although many put natural appearance above unnatural volume;
• contraindications- pregnancy and lactation, the procedure is also not recommended for some ophthalmic problems.

Lamination or eyelash extension: which is better

The extension guarantees an unrivaled appearance of the lashes. Thanks to this procedure, the long-awaited effect of butterfly wings is achieved. Even those who by nature have rare, thin and short eyelashes, literally an hour and a half after the start of the procedure, they will be able to boast of Cleopatra's stunning look even without the use of cosmetics.

But this is one side of the build-up. Fashion trends are constantly changing. Just like with makeup, manicure and hair, naturalness is now valued. It is for this reason that in Europe, America and in our country, many adherents of all kinds of build-ups began to refuse them.

And to achieve the proper visual effect, the emphasis is on nourishing the tissues of hair, skin and nails with useful substances. It does not do without keratin and other components that significantly improve not only the appearance, but also the health of the processed tissues.

How long does the lash lamination effect last?

Not so long ago, keratin lamination began to be used for nourishing eyelashes. The result is a natural look, health and an increase in external qualities. At the same time, eyelashes do not have the same volume as with extension, although this often depends on the initial appearance and condition of the hairs.

In terms of duration, the effect tends to last longer. If after about 3-4 weeks after the procedure, the extended hairs begin to crumble, then after lamination, the excellent appearance of eyelashes is maintained for an average of two months, and more often - for a longer period of time.

This indicator depends on the individual characteristics of the eyelashes, their initial volume and health. Also, the color affects the duration of the action, if the eyelashes are dark, the compositions last longer on them.

It's important to know! Despite the fact that experts do not recommend lamination in the first months of pregnancy, it is also undesirable for a further period of gestation, since every woman's hormonal background at this time is often individual.

Beautiful, fluffy, curled eyelashes are the dream of any fashionista. Beauty salons offer a variety of treatments that can make your eyes look expressive. One of them is eyelash lamination.

It is believed that covering each hair with a special compound not only gives it a charming bend, but also strengthens it.

Lamination is carried out in salons, but it is quite possible to do it at home on your own.

Features of eyelash lamination

Lamination is a cosmetic procedure during which each eyelash is covered with a composition based on keratin.

As a result, the hair scales stick, and the eyelash becomes shiny and completely smooth. During the procedure, the eyelashes are curled, which gives them a curved shape.

Eyelash lamination is carried out in beauty salons. A specialist who can carry out the procedure professionally is called a lashmaker.

Qualified craftsmen undergo special courses that allow them to do their job with high quality.

Lashmaker must know all the nuances of the lamination stages, especially the compositions, take into account the indications and contraindications for each method of improving the appearance of eyelashes.

In beauty parlors, time should be devoted to disinfecting all the instruments used, and maintaining hygiene standards, the absence of undesirable reactions largely depends on this.

Is eyelash lamination dangerous and how often can it be done?

Lamination is considered the safest procedure for improving the condition of eyelashes. The products used contain, in addition to keratin, vitamin supplements that provide nourishment to the hairs.

Covered with a protective composition, eyelashes are less exposed to external irritants and become stronger. The effect lasts for at least a month and a half. Then you can make a correction.

The procedure, carried out 2-3 times in a row, makes even the finest hairs stronger and thicker.

Some sources indicate that after three sessions you need to take a break for at least six months. But most lashmakers don't think so. The eyelashes are renewed every 2-3 months, thus, creatine formulations are applied to the same eyelashes no more than 2 times, which is not dangerous.

However, non-observance of the lamination technique, the use of low-quality drugs and the appointment of the procedure to clients with contraindications can lead to undesirable consequences. To avoid this, you must strictly follow all stages of preparation, application of the compositions, their fixing and removal.

Step-by-step instructions for the procedure in the salons

For the first time, lamination of the lower and upper eyelashes is desirable in the salon. Observing the work of the wizard, you can understand what steps must be followed and what must be taken into account when performing the procedure.

Special preparation is not required, but a qualified lashmaker must definitely find out if there are any contraindications.

These include inflammatory diseases of the eyes and eyelids, trauma to the eyeball and adjacent tissues, allergy to keratin or other components of drugs.

In terms of time, lamination takes about one hour on average. You can usually carry out the procedure on your own in one and a half to two hours.

The effect of the procedure and its duration

Hair lamination does not give as much volume as hair extension, but its effect lasts much longer, sometimes up to 3 months.

After the procedure, the hairs do not need any special care, they look shiny and healthy. They do not crumble or break off.

The duration of the effect is also largely determined by the quality of the selected preparations, individual characteristics, the natural structure and color of the hairs. For those with dark and thick eyelashes, lamination lasts longer.

Possible consequences

Undesirable reactions after lamination with high-quality compounds are performed correctly are rare. Possible consequences of the procedure include:

• Allergic reactions, consisting in reddening of the mucous membranes, swelling of the eyelids, itching and the appearance of rashes;
• Peeling skin around the eyelids;
• Loss and divergence of eyelashes in different directions.

Allergies most often occur if the formulations used get inside the eye. To prevent this from happening, you need to be extremely careful when applying drugs.

The cost of salon lamination of eyelashes

The price of the service in the elite salons of Moscow and St. Petersburg starts from 2.5 thousand rubles. The cost of the service reflects the image and technical equipment of the salon, the qualifications of the lashmaker, the brand of the drugs used.

In salons of a rank below, lamination is often offered to be done for one and a half to two thousand rubles. And masters at home often estimate their work at less than a thousand.

But it must be remembered that the effect of the procedure, its duration and the absence of undesirable reactions largely depend on the professionalism of the lashmaker, his experience and the quality of the formulations used.

Before lamination, it is advisable to make sure that the selected products do not cause allergic reactions. To do this, they need to apply 1-2 drops to the wrist area and evaluate the reaction after 2-3 hours.

The absence of external changes, itching and burning indicate that these drugs are quite suitable for you.

Execution order

You can self-laminate eyelashes in front of a mirror, but it is better to use the help of your sister or girlfriend. The stages of a home procedure are almost no different from a salon service:

• First of all, you need to remove make-up and degrease the hair;
• A support is applied to the lower eyelid. A gel is applied to the roller, after which it is fixed on the upper eyelid;
• The upper eyelashes are glued to the roller one by one with tweezers;
• The first composition is applied with a brush. From above, the eyelashes are covered with plastic wrap, moistened and wrung out cotton pads and a towel. After 10-13 minutes, the drug is removed with dry cotton swabs;
• If necessary, staining is carried out within 10 minutes;
• A second preparation is applied to fix the eyelashes in the desired position. Withstand it for up to 10 minutes;
• The remains of the paint and the second agent are removed with a neutralizing solution. The cilia are peeled off from the roller;
• The eyelashes are combed and treated with a third preparation, which enhances the nutrition and restoration of the hairs.

Lamination with gelatin

At home, you can do not keratin, but gelatin lamination of eyelashes. The alternative, of course, in effect and its duration will differ from the salon one, but it will cost mere pennies and does not require special skill.

For gelatin lamination, you will need the same tools, make-up remover, dry gelatin, hair balm.

Order of conduct:

• A tablespoon of dry gelatin powder (without a slide) is dissolved in 50 ml of warm water. The mixture must be stirred until the lumps are completely dissolved and heated in a microwave or steam bath. Then 15 ml of hair balm is added to it;
• All cosmetics must be removed from the eye area, cilia and eyelids are degreased. With a cotton swab on the eyelids, without touching the hairs, a soothing face cream is applied, it is better to take chamomile;
• A silicone roller or cut disc is attached to the upper eyelid.
• Using a brush, the gelatin mixture is spread over the lashes. The excess must be removed with a cotton swab;
• The holding time of the gelatin mixture is 20-30 minutes, after which it must be carefully washed off with warm water.

After gelatin lamination, eyelashes become shiny and gain volume. Unfortunately, the effect lasts an average of 5 days, but this procedure can be repeated continuously.

Keratin lamination products

To independently make lamination of eyelashes with keratin compounds, you need to purchase special kits for the procedure, for example, such as:

Pros and cons of the procedure

Eyelash lamination is becoming more and more popular and is gradually replacing eyelash extensions. The undoubted advantages of the procedure lashmakers include:

• Saving the obtained effect for at least a month;
• Rare development of allergic reactions;
• The ability to apply any cosmetic products to the eyelids and eyelashes;
• No restrictions in daily life. With laminated eyelashes, you can not be afraid to swim in both fresh and salt water, sunbathe. Their appearance does not deteriorate under the influence of cold and wind. The procedure is also available to those who wear contact lenses;
• Laminated lashes look natural. Over time, they do not fall out and do not break off, and the constant carrying out of procedures allows you to improve the condition of the rarest and weakest cilia;
• It is not necessary to remove the applied formulations.

The disadvantages of the procedure include only the impossibility of carrying it out in the presence of contraindications.

Lamination of eyelashes for initially thin and light hair may require additional application of mascara, especially for an evening look.

Eyelash care

After lamination, eyelashes can stick together for 24 hours, then they gradually separate and become fluffy. There is no need to comply with significant restrictions. It is only necessary not to wet the eye area and do not expose the face to steam for 24 hours.

It is not advisable to do the procedure in the evening, since during a night's sleep, the hairs that are not fully strengthened can be damaged.

Laminated eyelashes do not require specific care. But you can periodically apply balms, burdock or castor oil to them, make masks. Cilia can be painted with any ink.

Is extension allowed after lamination

• Laminating preparations and glue for fixing artificial hairs can mix with each other and cause undesirable reactions, manifested by irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes and eyelids, loss of cilia;
• Artificial hairs do not adhere well to laminated hairs, since the preparations used contain oils.

Extension can be done only after all components of the preparations used for lamination have come out of the eyelashes. This may take 2-3 months.

Lamination carried out after building up can be classified as a wellness session. The treatment helps to strengthen weakened hairs and nourishes them with nutrients that accelerate hair growth.

What to choose - lamination or build-up?

Extension is appreciated by many due to the fact that artificial eyelashes are able to significantly lengthen natural ones, make them thicker and look correspondingly expressive. Depending on the technique used for extension, the length of your own hairs can sometimes be increased by almost 2 times.

Lamination does not give such an effect, but this procedure is considered safer and most useful. The emphasis during its implementation is on saturating the hairs with nutrients from the outside and from the inside, which leads to their strengthening, thickening and stimulates growth.

After building, your own eyelashes can break off and fall out, which requires restorative care.

The difference between lamination and biowave

These two procedures are not much different from each other. The difference lies in the use of drugs with a slightly different composition, although they are based on collagen and keratitis.

Bio-curling gives a greater curving effect, whereas with lamination, the emphasis is on making the lashes smooth and shiny.

The difference between lamination and botox

There is no significant difference between botox and eyelash lamination. During their implementation, almost identical compositions are used, and the effect upon their completion is identical. The difference most often lies in the presence of additional components in the preparations used by lashmakers.

Lamination during pregnancy

Pregnancy and the time of breastfeeding are contraindications to the procedure. And this is not due to the influence of the means used on the body of a woman and a child, but to the fact that after conception, hormonal changes in the body take place.

Hormonal imbalance can cause rejection of some of the components used for lamination products, and this can lead to unwanted reactions and not have the effect expected.

Eyelash lamination is one of those procedures that do not negatively affect the condition of the hairs, but, on the contrary, improve their structure, nourish and make them stronger. Therefore, the procedure can be done at any age.

But in order for it to please with the result and not lead to negative reactions, you need to register with an experienced master, and while conducting it at home, use only high-quality formulations and strictly observe all stages of implementation.
