Eyelash lamination procedure: description

What it is

Every woman wants to be beautiful at any time of the day or night. But ordinary decorative eye cosmetics, unfortunately, do not provide permanent results. The eyelash lamination procedure will come to the rescue. It is suitable for any hair type. If you are the owner of naturally lush and thick eyelashes, then this procedure will help maintain and emphasize the natural beauty of your eyes. For those with short hairs that stick out in all directions, eyelash lamination is a must. A special strengthening composition will make them lush, elongated, and give them a beautiful shape that will last for three months. Then gradually wash off. This is an ideal option for self-care that does not require special expenses.

Contraindications

You should read this paragraph with special care, and if you identify any of the ailments listed below, you should abandon this procedure.

It must be said honestly that the procedure has a number of contraindications. In particular, it is prohibited for inflammatory eye diseases, pregnancy, and those prone to allergies. To check the last points, you need to apply the laminating mixture to the bend of your elbow and wait about 12 hours. If there is no redness, the mixture is harmless.

Where did it come from

The eyelash lamination procedure came to Russia from Switzerland several years ago and has already gained popularity among the female population. Swiss specialists were the first in the world to carry out such procedures. A special composition based on keratin with the addition of essential vitamins and nutrients has been developed in laboratories, which strengthens hair, makes it long, manageable, and promotes active growth. In addition, the first visible effect after the eyelash lamination procedure is a beautiful curved shape. This makes the look very expressive. The procedure can be repeated every two months. This does not cause any harm, and the process of keratin accumulation will allow you to increase the time between procedures over time.

Necessary materials

The lamination procedure can be carried out both in a specialized salon and at home. But it is better, of course, to contact proven, certified specialists who have been trained and are confident in their abilities. The following materials are used to carry out the procedure:

degreasing agent (this can be milk or regular tonic);
eye cream that will protect the delicate skin of the eyes;
ribbons to protect eyelashes;
coloring composition;
keratin pigment.

You will also need a stack, a brush for applying the composition, preferably made from natural materials, silicone curlers of the required diameter for curling eyelashes and a brush for combing. The diameter of the curler is taken from the length of the eyelashes themselves; the longer, the larger the diameter should be. You can take a regular brush from under your favorite mascara, after rinsing it with powder to remove any remaining mascara.

Finally

Lamination is contraindicated for any eye diseases, inflammatory processes and allergies (with the exception of gelatin). In addition, it is not done on severely damaged hairs. In this case, you should first treat them and then laminate them.

If you decide to carry out this procedure at home, then watch all the details of how eyelash lamination is done in the video. After watching the video, you can leave a comment with your individual opinion or experience on this topic.

Preparation

Girls who decide to use such a beauty service spend a long time studying materials about what is included in the eyelash lamination procedure. The first stage - preparation, is as important as applying the product itself.

First of all, you need to degrease the eyelashes. To do this, use a tonic or lotion. Degreasing allows nutrients to penetrate the hairs faster and also promotes uniform application of the nutritional composition. Then the cream must be applied to the entire eyelid to protect the delicate skin from the possible negative effects of the keratin composition.

Then special strips made of soft silicone are attached to the eyelashes. This is necessary to separate the eyelashes and give them volume.

Salon lamination

The keratin eyelash lamination technique was originally a salon procedure, but today it can be done independently. What is the difference between them?

The procedure does not cause any technical difficulties. In theory, the creators of the keratin lamination technique claim that the procedure is quite simple and does not cause discomfort. But in practice, many girls say that they experienced a burning sensation and, as a result, tears appeared in their eyes that were difficult to stop. It is this moment that depends on the experience of the master in whom you have trusted. Good salons often employ professionals who will try to make the whole process as comfortable and convenient for you as possible.

How is lamination done? The keratin lamination procedure itself takes place in five stages and can take up to 90 minutes. During this time, the composition of the drug is applied to the eyelashes five times. If you make a smaller quantity, the effect may not be as high quality and durable. The bending of the eyelashes is ensured by the roller on which they are placed. The professionalism of the master is also important here: if the eyelashes are bent too much, it will look ugly and unnatural.

When planning to carry out the keratin lamination procedure in the salon, you need to know some points:

You cannot apply lamination to eyelash extensions or glued eyelashes;
Don't expect supernatural results. Lamination is not extensions. The composition of the products used for lamination improves and somewhat improves the natural shape of the hairs. If your eyelashes are very sparse and short, then a royal curl and incredible thickness will not work. If you expect exactly these results, then you are certainly dooming yourself to disappointment;
The composition of the products used must be 100% natural. If the procedure is suspiciously inexpensive, then this means that they saved on the main product. And this is absolutely impossible to do - the eyes are an important organ of the human body, and you need to work with them responsibly and carefully;
After completing the procedure, do not wash your face for 24 hours. After this period, you will have long-lasting natural eye makeup, and you can forget about decorative cosmetics for a couple of months.

Process

What is included in the eyelash lamination procedure after preparation, you also need to know so as not to worry about the unknown manipulations of the master:

First of all, the master applies a special composition. This is a liquid or gel that strengthens each eyelash and protects it.
Next comes eyelash tinting. This point is not particularly important, since many people simply do not need eyelash tinting. But, at the request of clients, coloring is carried out to add brightness and depth.
The last stage - applying keratin - is the most important and requires special attention from the specialist.

The eyelash lamination procedure takes no more than an hour. But it will save you from part of the daily ritual of applying eye makeup.

Carrying out the procedure yourself

You can also carry out this cosmetic procedure at home. But you need to be patient and strictly follow the sequence. Stages of performing the eyelash lamination procedure at home:

degrease the hairs and skin of the eyelid with any tonic or milk to remove makeup, and you must start with the lower eyelid, then move to the upper;
Use a special brush to thoroughly comb your eyelashes;
apply a rich nourishing cream to the skin around the eyes, namely a cream, not a serum;
glue the pre-prepared silicone tape first on the eyelashes of the lower eyelid, then, by analogy, on the upper eyelashes;
the composition is applied;
the eyelashes are combed again from bottom to top so that the composition is properly distributed and each hair is completely enveloped in it;
It is imperative to remove any remaining composition if it gets anywhere other than the eyelashes;
Next, you need to create a thermal effect: apply a special film, cotton pads on top, then a towel (you need to fix yourself in this state for 15-20 minutes);
the composition is removed, the hairs are combed, and the desired bend is given to them.

We have described the step-by-step procedure for laminating eyelashes at home. In this delicate matter, the main thing is to carefully follow all instructions, no amateur activities. Only then will beautiful eyelashes be able to delight their owner for many months and evoke compliments from men and admiration from women.

Eyelash lamination procedure: stages of execution

First, the composition needs to be warmed up. Secondly, the eyelashes need to be degreased. For further work with eyelashes, they must be fixed. We place the lower ones on the eyelids on hydrogel substrates. We glue curlers pre-treated with fixing gel (glue) to the upper eyelids. We use the same glue to attach the eyelashes to the curlers.
We distribute the first composition on the eyelashes to separate the eyelash scales. Cover your eyes with film. Then apply warm, damp cotton pads for 10 minutes and cover with a napkin.
Mix the paint components in a one to one ratio. Choose a shade - light or dark, as desired. Allow 10 minutes for the paint to mature. While the paint is being prepared, remove the first composition.
Apply the coloring composition to the eyelashes. Leave the composition for 10 minutes. Then apply the second composition with keratin for 7 minutes.
We process the lower lashes in the same sequence as the upper ones.
Using the third mixture, we remove the eyelashes from the curlers. To separate the curlers from the eyelids, it is better to use a damp cotton swab.
Finally, we treat the eyelashes with a special nourishing gel.

Advantages of lamination

Do not assume that this procedure is completely safe. Like any cosmetic intervention, it may have disadvantages. We know how the eyelash lamination procedure works. Now it’s worth exploring the pros and cons. Let's talk about the positive first. What does the eyelash lamination procedure provide?

Firstly, if there are no particular allergic reactions, then the keratinization process is completely painless, without unpleasant reactions or sensations. What girls also like is that they can immediately return to their normal lifestyle, go out in the sun, work or walk with the children. Cosmetics can be used immediately even over the procedure. In addition, girls who have already tried all the delights of the procedure say that even after the first procedure, the eyelashes become longer, fluffier, thicker and stronger, and are less likely to fall out and break.

Eyelashes after the procedure, reviews

The masters claim that you will not experience any discomfort while your eyelashes are being strengthened. They unanimously say that laminating compounds only strengthen hairs, make them healthier, and do not cause any harm at all.

Is it so? Let's find out what customers have to say. Reviews:

Anna, Moscow. The first thing I noticed was the amazing curve; it doesn’t go away after you sleep in the pillows or wash your face. True, over time the bend grows together and does not look so elegant. The second is naturalness, the eyes become bright and expressive. The first couple of weeks the eyelashes are very lush and voluminous. Then the effect is lost and the color becomes duller. Therefore, I can say that out of the stated three months, the effect lasted no more than a month.
Irina, Yekaterinburg. I went to two specialists for the procedure. And I can say with confidence that the quality of the procedure depends on the master. With one I did not feel any discomfort and was pleased with the result. Another master burned the mucous membrane a little, and as a result the effect was not so obvious, and his eyelashes subsequently weakened and began to fall out. Therefore, it is better not to save money and choose a specialist with recommendations.
Tatyana, Moscow. The beautiful effect did not last long, but I paid a decent amount for this procedure. Perhaps this happened because I have short eyelashes. I read before the procedure that there is no noticeable effect on a short length.

Based on reviews, we can say with confidence that lamination has its advantages and disadvantages. Also, the procedure is not suitable for everyone. However, the most important criterion is the choice of an experienced certified master.

After lamination you cannot:

Lamination is often compared to extensions. I haven’t done extensions myself, however, according to reviews from my friends, I’ve heard that when doing extensions you can’t do much, for example, you need to wash your face very carefully, sleep carefully, and you can’t take a steam bath. What should you not do after eyelash lamination?

During the procedure itself, the scales of the hairs open, due to which the hair is filled with keratin and nutrients. It takes time for the scales to close. Therefore, you cannot wash your face for 24 hours, that is, 24 hours.

Immediately after the procedure, the eyelashes will look a little stuck together, as if they were painted poorly, but many people like this effect. After you wash your face, your eyelashes will fluff up and will delight you with their appearance for a long time.

In addition to the ban on washing your face for the first day, there will be no more restrictions after the procedure. You can safely go to the bathhouse, fall asleep as you please and wash yourself freely.

Is it possible to dye eyelashes?

After the procedure, the eyelashes basically become darker (or the color you chose). There is usually no need to paint them after the procedure, and this will not be a very good idea, because the hair will be enveloped in a protective film and it will be difficult for the pigment to penetrate inside.

If we are talking about paint, then the eyelashes are colored before or during lamination. Is it possible to wear mascara after the procedure? Of course you can! Your eyelashes will look even more gorgeous in this case. Mascara should be hypoallergenic and easy to wash off.

You can extend eyelashes after lamination

Both procedures are very popular among the fair sex. However, you should not combine them together. Each procedure uses its own compositions, together they can negatively affect the condition of the eyelashes.

In addition, laminating compositions contain different oils, which will prevent the extension glue from setting. It turns out that the extended bundles will hold weakly and quite possibly will quickly begin to peel off.

When can you wash your face?

You can wash your face with water or cosmetics after 24 hours. What is this connected with? During lamination and dyeing, the scales on the hairs open slightly. This is necessary so that nutrients and pigment can penetrate into the hair.

The scales will be slightly open for a day, and if you decide to wash your face, the effect of the procedure may disappoint you; it will be less noticeable. Also, on the first day it is not recommended to touch your eyelashes, sleep on your side, or use eye creams.

Disadvantages of lamination

This procedure also has disadvantages. Insignificant, of course, compared to the result obtained, however, it is better not to violate these points. The essence of the eyelash lamination procedure is to strengthen and highlight the hairs. But don't expect miracles from her. If you naturally have thin and short hairs, then miraculously they will not turn into thick and long “butterfly wings”. After the procedure, experts strongly recommend avoiding getting water on your eyes and eyelashes. The composition that has been applied must be completely absorbed and fixed in each hair, and water helps to wash it off. It is recommended that girls with very short hairs avoid the process of eyelash lamination, as they may begin to bend in different directions.

If you have a cold like stye or conjunctivitis in front of your eyes, refuse the beauty offer. Visit a doctor, solve your health problem and then feel free to sign up for cosmetic procedures.

Method of eyelash lamination with gelatin

Application of gelatin composition
Folk remedies are often used to laminate eyelashes at home, among which gelatin is the most popular. It effectively strengthens and thickens hairs, giving expressiveness to the look.

To laminate eyelashes with gelatin, the main composition is prepared in the following way:

Mix 15 g of gelatin with 50 ml of water until it is completely dissolved.
Place the container with water and gelatin on low heat and boil for 10 - 15 minutes until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
After cooling, add 5 ml of eyelash balm to the gelatin mass (if it is not available, you can use coconut oil) and mix everything thoroughly.
The finished composition must be applied to previously prepared eyelashes as soon as possible. To do this, they are treated with a solution of Chlorhexidine.
A sponge soaked in water is placed in the area under the eyes. On top of the eyelid, in the absence of professional curlers, lay a pencil. Eyelashes are laid out evenly on it.
The eyelashes are coated with gelatin on top and left for 20 minutes. After the specified time has passed, remove the composition from the eyes with a paper napkin.

Using traditional methods of laminating eyelashes with gelatin, you can get not only an expressive look. This procedure will allow you to restore the health of eyelashes and improve the condition of the skin around the eyes with minimal material costs.

What are they?

Types of eyelash lamination procedures are divided into three types: modeling, therapeutic and coloring.

The modeling type is suitable for owners of long and fluffy “wings”. As a rule, long, stiff eyelash hairs stick out in all directions. Even expensive branded mascara cannot style these for a long time, which most often only aggravates the situation by adding volume or length. In this case, lamination is a salvation. After the procedure, the eyelashes take on a beautiful shape, a seductive curve appears, and the eyes become more expressive and brighter.

The therapeutic type of procedure is also quite common. In this case, the product does not contain keratin. Instead, the composition is saturated with a large number of vitamins, oils and various natural extracts. After the procedure, the eyelashes remain the same shape as they were; no length or volume is added to them. But thanks to the high concentration of nutrients, the eyelashes become healthier, look well-groomed, and gain shine. It is advisable to do this procedure after eyelash extensions, when the eyelashes, after wearing artificial hard materials for a long time, lose their elasticity, become brittle and are subject to severe loss due to a weakened bulb. For such eyelashes, lamination will be a salvation, but at least three procedures are necessary to restore their vitality and shine.

And coloring. The process is the same as with conventional lamination. But coloring pigments are added to the active substances. The shade is chosen by the client from several possible ones, according to his color type and hair tone. When choosing the pigment color yourself, remember that eyelashes and eyebrows should be one tone darker than your hair. This gives expressiveness to the eyes, and the eyes, as you know, are the mirror of the soul.

What tools will you need?

To carry out home lamination you need the following set of tools and products:

silicone pad to protect the mucous membrane of the eye;
paint to give the desired shade;
oxidant for activation of coloring pigment;
rollers for curl formation;
brush for combing and separating eyelashes;
keratin treatment.

To increase the chances of a successful outcome, it is recommended to purchase ready-made sets of preparations for lamination. You can find them in professional cosmetics stores. Popular Products:

YUMI Lashes. A set from a Swiss manufacturer, consisting of 3 main components - a degreaser, a curl fixative, and a moisturizer. The set includes three types of dyes, a solution to accelerate eyelash growth, and reed glue. For twisting, silicone pads of different sizes are provided. The set is affordable and easy to use.
LVL. The English brand offers a revolutionary method of healing natural hair. The dye creates the effect of applied mascara. The curl fixer straightens them at the roots, giving visual thickness and length. At the last stage, hydration and nutrition are carried out. The drug contains vitamins that take care of the beauty of the eyes and skin of the eyelids. The set includes the necessary tools for home use - brush, comb, rollers, paints of different shades.
Nover Lash Up. Products for the treatment and lamination of weak, sparse eyelashes. Allows you to give them a beautiful shape, density, density.
Paul Mitchell. A set of preparations created on the basis of natural extracts of chamomile, hops, and yarrow. The raw materials are grown in an ecologically clean place, which reduces the risk of allergies, burns, and other negative reactions.

Owners of short, sparse eyelashes should not expect stunning results from a home procedure. Keratin coating will help restore the structure, improve the health, but not increase the number and length of hairs.

Lamination during pregnancy

Specialists will refuse to perform the procedure for women expecting a baby. At first glance, it may seem that it is incapable of causing any harm, but doctors also recommend abstaining and going to the salon a certain time after the birth of the child.

The bottom line is that the process of eyelash lamination is directly related to the mucous membrane of the eye. And it is known to be an excellent conductor of viruses and all kinds of foreign chemicals. In this regard, absolutely any component can be transmitted to the entire body and to the child.

In addition, during pregnancy, hormonal levels change, changes in the body occur, as a result of which some of the components of the composition may simply not work. As a result, money will be thrown away and your mood will be ruined. And it is unknown how the eyelashes will behave: they may not take on a new shape: instead of curling, they will remain straight. Or it may take on the keratin composition unevenly and become unevenly colored.

Contraindications for eyelash lamination

Under no circumstances should the procedure be performed on pregnant women or during lactation. If you have eye diseases, even minor ones, it is also better to abstain. After the operation, especially not on the eyes, because it is unknown what consequences the sensitivity of the eye can lead to.

It is better to hold off on eyelash correction for the benefit of your health, because it is one thing and must be protected. After a certain time, you can go to the salon and get yourself in order.

Botox for eyelashes

Another interesting procedure for eyelashes is Botox. It differs from lamination in the content of botulinum toxin and a number of additional components: collagen, panthenol, argan oil. This procedure makes eyelashes longer, more manageable, and reduces hair loss. Eyelashes grow better, gain elasticity and shine. The procedure is a little more complicated than lamination, and experts recommend doing it only in a salon. One of the best qualities of lamination is that after the procedure you can immediately take a bath, shower, go swimming in the pool or warm up in the sauna. Botox is not afraid of water.

Cost of the procedure in salons

Eyelash lamination is an innovation in the field of cosmetology, and therefore is an expensive service. The average cost varies from two thousand rubles in a middle class salon. In luxury beauty salons, the price can be several times higher. Also, the cost of procedures is strongly influenced by the quality of materials used and the season.

As for the season. It should be taken into account when planning the procedure. A price jump is observed in the summer, when it is hot and using a large amount of cosmetics in some regions is not possible. Trips to the sea also do their job, where, firstly, mascara does not last long and is washed off, and secondly, in hot sunny weather you don’t want to paint your eyes at all. And I want to be beautiful. This is where the magical eyelash lamination procedure comes to the rescue. It's easier in winter. However, in regions where frequent snowstorms and snowstorms are common, the popularity of lamination is increasing, as snow gets into the eyes and smudges mascara.

Positive result of the procedure

It is not for nothing that this procedure has gained great popularity among girls. Compared to eyelash extensions, lamination has more advantages and is an excellent alternative. It is important to do the procedure for a special evening or in the summer before a trip to the sea, so as not to spend most of the time on makeup. A large number of lovely ladies do this procedure for the following reasons.

On average, the volume of eyelashes increases by 25-30%, and the length, in turn, increases by 8-10%. Strengthening the structure of eyelashes is one of the main advantages. You also won’t have to do a perm, just because the beautiful curve of your eyelashes will make itself felt. A natural shine will appear.
Lamination is recommended for owners of light-colored hair. For thin and short eyelashes, long and straight. The procedure is available to everyone, without restrictions.
