Consequences of eyelash lamination - is the eyelash lamination procedure safe?

Many people think that since the eyelash lamination procedure is associated with a chemical effect on the eyelashes, it is harmful. However, it is not.

Eyelash lamination is safe and even useful.

After lamination, the hair is covered with a thin film that protects it from external environmental influences (prevents it from fading and losing moisture).
The nutrients found in laminating formulations will strengthen eyelashes and help them become healthier.

Who will find it useful?

The eyelash corduroy procedure is justified in a number of cases:

Eyelashes fall out.
The hairs are dull in color and have almost transparent areas.
No bends.
The hairs are sparse and quite thin.
The procedure is recommended after removal of eyelash extensions for restoration.

The composition includes only natural ingredients, however, it is important to remember that there are some contraindications for use, individual intolerance.

How to care for laminated eyelashes?

Laminated eyelashes do not require special care and do not create inconvenience: after the procedure, girls can visit the sauna, sleep on their stomachs, swim in the sea and pool.

To create a luxurious evening look, you can tint your eyelashes with mascara - this will not spoil the effect of the procedure.

The only limitation is that the eyelashes cannot be wet within 24 hours after lamination, since the complete restoration of disulfide bonds in their structure occurs within two days.

Velvet composition

Corduroy eyelashes are a complex procedure during which the hairs are gradually processed with 3 compounds. The result depends on the algorithm and quality of the procedure, as well as on the compositions used. It is worth noting that the Velvet company offers the additional use of the 4th composition during the procedure - Botox 3D serum. However, not all masters use this serum.

Composition 1. Grow Activator

1 composition applied to eyelashes - growth activator or Grow Activator. Complex components:

hyaluronic acid. Helps strengthen hairs and prevent their fragility; keratin. This substance is the key to strong and healthy hair, nails and eyelashes, as well as their natural biological basis. This is why keratin is found in many shampoos and hair masks.

For eyelashes, keratin saturation is also important; Collagen is essentially a protein. It provides hair hydration and increases its elasticity; nettle extract

One of the most famous and centuries-tested means for strengthening hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.

Important information! It is noteworthy that there is no silicone among the components of Grow Activator. This composition acts directly on the roots of the hair follicles, stimulating them to grow.

Composition 2. Velvet essence

Velvet essence or silk essence. This composition helps restore the water balance of hair follicles, as well as their structure.

Components:

hyaluronic acid;
keratin;
ylang-ylang extract – prevents eyelash loss. Nourishes hairs. This product is also used to restore eyelashes after unsuccessful extensions;
fatty acid. Thanks to this component, hair follicles receive deep nutrition and restoration.

Composition 3. Home oil cocktail

Home oil cocktail is a complex of oils for home care. Eyelashes always need additional care and nutrition, especially to consolidate the results of cosmetic procedures - this will not only improve the result of the procedure, but also prolong its effect

That is why it is extremely important not to neglect this stage of corduroy eyelashes.

Components of the home care complex:

vitamins A and E. The use of these vitamins in combination ensures the formation of keratin. Vitamin A, in itself, increases the elasticity of hairs, gives them an attractive bend, and also performs a protective function. Vitamin E helps prevent the negative effects of UV rays on eyelashes;
inulin nourishes hair follicles. This substance is found in large quantities in burdock oil;
Argan oil helps saturate eyelashes with fatty acids, which strengthen their structure and prevent loss. Argon oil also cares for and nourishes the skin of the eyelids;
almond oil is an additional source of vitamins A and E. Nourishes and moisturizes eyelashes.

What is the difference between biowave and eyelash lamination?

To laminate eyelashes, gentle products containing keratin and other care ingredients, as well as coloring pigments, are used.

Compositions for bio-curling are more aggressive than those for lamination. In addition, they do not give the eyelashes a dark tint, but, on the contrary, can lighten them slightly.

But bio-perm costs 30-50% less than lamination - from 500 rubles in beauty salons.

The visual difference between lamination and biowave can be seen in the photo below.

Contraindications

The procedures have contraindications. Lamination and corduroy techniques should be abandoned with the onset of pregnancy, during lactation, and also when taking hormonal medications. The procedure may be useless and you will not see the desired effect.

The procedures are prohibited if you have eye diseases.

The ingredients may cause allergies. If you are prone to allergic reactions, treat the procedure with caution.

What is better - lamination or extensions?

Both eyelash lamination and extensions are suitable for any eyelashes - long and short, thick and sparse.

The difference between eyelash lamination and eyelash extensions : if during extensions additional hairs are attached to the natural eyelashes, then they are not used for lamination - volume and length are achieved exclusively through special compounds.

Lamination of eyelashes gives a natural effect - “your own eyelashes, only better”, and eyelash extensions allow you to “add drama”.

There is another difference between eyelash lamination and eyelash extensions .

After eyelash extensions, girls have to follow some rules : do not sleep with your face in the pillow, do not apply cosmetic oils to the skin around the eyes, do not visit the sauna and bathhouse. Lamination has no such contraindications.

Which eyelash lamination is better?

Salon masters offer various procedures for the beauty and health of eyelashes: lamination, Botox, corduroy, bio-perm.

According to Tatyana Cheraksheva, they have the same essence: using a chemical, the master destroys disulfide bonds in the keratin of the hairs (which form the natural shape of our eyelashes), creates a curl, and then re-gives the eyelashes the necessary shape, fixing the resulting bend.

The duration of all procedures is almost the same - from 1 to 2 hours, and the effect of them lasts until the eyelashes grow back - 1.5-2 months.

to say which procedure is better or worse , since each technique effectively emphasizes the individual characteristics of eyelashes. However, there are still small differences.

If you are inspired by the effect of laminated eyelashes and are diligent enough, then you can become an eyelash lamination master. There is no point in learning this profession on your own.

Leshmaker's answers to popular questions

We asked a professional lash maker to answer the most important questions that interest girls.

How long does the composition last?

Hair restoration gives a high-quality result that lasts for a long time. The effectiveness is noticeable immediately and does not decrease in intensity for 3-6 weeks.

An important advantage of 3D and 6D Velvet compared to similar methods is that the composition deeply nourishes the roots and heals at the cellular level. Because of this, the eyelashes begin to grow better, shine, and even 3 months after treatment they look perfect.

Reason for the popularity of the procedure

The multi-stage system is winning more and more fans every day. The secret of her popularity is simple. Aminokeratative peptides strengthen each hair and stimulate natural growth and thickness. Dormant bulbs are activated and restoration occurs at the molecular level.

If you need a definite answer as to how Velvet Eyelashes differs from Botox, I can say that both procedures provide a similar effect, but slightly differ in composition. The Velvet formula is environmentally friendly and gentle, so I recommend it to my clients.

Typical eyelash lamination kit for beginners

The standard kit for beginner eyelash laminators includes:

brush for applying compositions;
oxidant, lamination compositions;
eyelash degreasing agent;

Experienced professionals do not recommend learning eyelash lamination at home, without the supervision of professionals.

If we do something wrong, we can ruin the client’s not only eyelashes, but also his vision. Studying at home is a huge risk because we are talking about the health of our clients.

Recommendations for further care

It is easy to care for your eyelashes after using corduroy. Basic restrictions apply only in the first 8 hours. For example, you cannot wash your face or use cosmetics. When itching occurs, it is extremely undesirable to touch your eyelids with your hands; it is better to simply blink intensely, and the unpleasant sensation will go away.

Eyelashes remain well-groomed for a long time

Visiting the bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool is prohibited on the first day. But the next day you can not only do water treatments, but also tint or curl your eyelashes.
