Eyelash Extension: Extend your lashes for a look more seductive

Long eyelashes, and sexy. Without the use of mascara. Always and everywhere. Lash extensions, or the growth of eyelashes, it is the trend. Ideal for summer holidays or for those who do not like makeup but still want to always look nice and well prepared.

Talk to Galia, an expert in the application of lash extensions (extensions of the eyelashes) at bewitch Hair Spa in Milan. He explains how they work, what effects can be achieved and what is the length of the lash extensions.

What are lash extensions?
The lash extensions are artificial eyelashes that are attached with a special glue, one by one, the real lashes to extend them. This is a relatively new technique.

From America, is gaining ground in Italy. ‘The lash extension should not be confused,’ says Galia, ‘with so-called Ciuffettino of three or four artificial eyelashes starting at a point and are stuck in the middle of the other eye.’

The effect? The cat’s eye is the most requested
The advantage of the lash extensions with respect to ‘traditional’ Ciuffettino, is that they have a much longer life and a very natural effect. ‘I Ciuffettino can then ruin the long eyelashes and lash extensions do not create any damage,’ says Galia. ‘The lashes are applied one by one to real lashes. They are of different sizes and different curvatures, so you can get different effects. The most requested is the cat’s eye, which is characterized by the elongated shape of the eye. To achieve this the longest eyelashes stick out of the eye and shorter toward the inside ‘.

Also vary the colors. ‘I always use the black’, said Galia, ‘because you get the black with the strongest effect. But in America they also use colored eyelashes. Fuchsia, purple, blue. But here there is no demand for this type of stretching. But what is important is that cilia have, in addition to various lengths, although a different thickness. To lengthen the finest lashes (which are often more clear) then use extensions less thick, while for those who choose thicker lashes darker and bigger. Those who have thin hair is often too thin brows and vice versa. It’s up to me to choose the extension for every person ‘.

Treatment
The treatment lasts about an hour and a half. The application of extensions is a specialized use. One by one they are applying the lashes with the use of tweezers. The number of lashes applied – on average 70 to 90 lashes per eye – it depends on the size of the eye. Extensions are attached to real lashes with a special glue. ‘The glue has been tested and does not give allergy. I’ve never encountered a problem. However, a serious professional, ‘says Galia,’ you will always be a series of questions about your health and especially on that of the eyes before moving on to make sure that there are no complications or side effects. ‘ Even those who wear contact lenses can opt for eyelash extensions. ‘Council, however, always remove your lenses during the application’.

The term? Three to four weeks
The duration is about three to four weeks and is not determined by the adhesive that is permanent, but the life cycle of proprieo lashes. The extension is until he falls to the real edge when it was attacked. The loss of the extensions is therefore very gradual. It is difficult to create holes. After the first application is usually made a readjustment after three weeks. During this remodeling is going to simply fill the locations where the natural lashes (with the extension attached) had been distorted. So the effect is maintained over time origin. Gaul has among its customers and retain existing women carrying more than two years, lash extensions, more or less the first time when he started working with this technique.

Their eyelashes as a basis
Gallia stresses that it is important to understand that their cilia to form the basis of this technique of stretching. It means that lash extensions can not only lengthen and thicken lashes. Naturally appear – as well as longer – even more voluminous because of the extensions, but the technique of lash eyelash extension will not give you more than you already have it. ‘You can not fill the empty holes,’ says Galia. ‘Usually attack in eyelash extensions a bit’ shorter to make it last longer extension. But then should not even be too short, because otherwise the extension turns and bends’.

The benefits of eyelash extensions
‘The effect of the lash extension is seen with his own eyes’, says Galia. ‘It’s so beautiful yet so natural that, in noticing another woman, I just think maybe you have the long lashes accented only by a super mascara. Why do not you notice that they are extensions, but once they saw the effect on himself, it will be difficult without it. The nice thing is then no longer need to wear makeup. Especially in the summer is very convenient because it avoids the usual smudge of mascara and pencils in the sea. It is also convenient for those who in the morning has little time for make-up but still want to go out with beautiful and intense gaze ‘.

The cost?
The first application costs roughly between 200 and 250 €. The cost of remodeling after three weeks ranges from about 75 to 80 euro. And if you do not have time for editing (or perhaps lack the budget)? No problem. As mentioned above, the effect gradually diminishes over time. In that case, just simply start with pencil and mascara.
