About lamination of eyelashes: how long does it last, can or cannot be washed, care

A beautiful, expressive look is impossible without thick, fluffy eyelashes with an exciting curve. It can be achieved with the help of daily cosmetic manipulations, or you can simply carry out the eyelash lamination procedure and forget about mascara and curling irons for a very long period of time.

Eyelash lamination transforms your look

What is eyelash lamination with keratin?

Lamination can be done not only on natural hair, but also on eyelashes. This procedure allows you to restore the scales of each hair and preserve the color for a long time, so eyelashes are often colored before lamination. No additional care is required after the procedure, nor is the use of mascara.

Lamination of eyelashes, reviews of which are mostly positive, is carried out with a special composition Lashes. The composition envelops the hair bristles, the resulting protective film promotes their alignment. At the same time, the eyelashes breathe and do not become heavier, since the film is very thin, weighs nothing and allows air to pass through. Lamination not only does not harm the eyelashes, but also moisturizes and helps retain moisture and nutrients. One of the elements of the composition is wheat protein - a strong antioxidant and keratin - a highly durable protein. Hair, nails, eyebrows and eyelashes already contain keratin. Additional procedures with this protein can make them more durable.

Keratin lamination of eyelashes (reviews indicate that the result of the procedure depends on the professionalism of the master) allows you to get eyelashes that are brighter and more curved, but as natural as possible. This procedure has nothing to do with extensions. This is nutrition, vitaminization and filling of eyelashes with a cumulative effect. Simple curling and tinting of eyelashes gives a similar result, but lamination is a more gentle procedure with a healing effect. You should not expect that your eyelashes will immediately change dramatically after lamination. It will simply highlight your natural advantages.

Home care for laminated eyelashes

Weakened eyelashes, even if laminated, can fall out faster than after 3 months. There are several time-tested ways to strengthen hair, eyebrows and eyelashes at home.

Before going to bed, you can apply a small amount of natural oils to your eyelashes and eyelids. It is best to use flaxseed, castor, burdock and almond oil.
At the end of your workday, you can apply lotions soaked in decoctions of medicinal herbs, such as chamomile, calendula and nettle, to your eyes.
You can learn how to massage your eyelids. The procedure stimulates blood flow to the eyelash follicles, as a result they grow faster, fall out less and become stronger.

Important! Effectively strengthen eyelashes from the inside by taking vitamin complexes. The composition must include vitamins A and B.

Eyelash lamination is a relatively new cosmetic procedure that has quickly become incredibly popular, and for good reason. It is better to emphasize natural beauty than to extend artificial eyelashes, which weigh down the eyelids and have a detrimental effect on your own eyelashes.

Contraindications

A procedure that everyone would like to try, but not everyone can afford, is eyelash lamination. Reviews from doctors about this procedure force us to pay attention to a number of contraindications. Lamination is not recommended in the following cases:

Inflammation and any diseases of the eyes, mucous membrane of the eyelid (conjunctivitis, barley and others).
Recent surgical operations in the eye area, just unhealed wounds, cuts.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this period, the serum may not work. Unstable hormonal levels can cause unpredictable consequences from using a cosmetic product.
The serum has a hypoallergenic composition, but if you are allergic to any cosmetics, testing is required.

It is not advisable to go for lamination in the first days of your period, since the skin secretions remaining on the eyelashes are rejected by all cosmetic procedures. Consult a specialist and choose another cosmetic procedure if eyelash lamination is contraindicated for you. Reviews and photos of various salon services will help you decide.

Rules for laminating hair at home or in the salon

Before you decide to laminate your hair, you should familiarize yourself with some important principles. There are 2 ways to perform this cosmetic procedure:

On one's own. Professional products or natural ingredients and additives are used.
In the cabin. A spray is used that forms a transparent film on the hair.

In any case, experts advise doing this type of hair improvement in winter or summer. In winter and summer, the hair requires more care and protection (for example, from wind, cold, direct sunlight).

Below are the basic principles of the service in question:

a cosmetic product is applied to the prepared, clean strands along the entire length in several layers, forming a film (you can use a regular spray bottle);
over time, the film coating becomes thinner and washed off, so you need to follow all the rules of care, installation, and, if possible, repeat the procedure (the effect lasts for at least 1.5-2 months);
lamination can be transparent or colored (the latter makes the hair color more saturated and bright);
Conventionally, a distinction is made between hot and cold methods of lamination (differing in the composition of the laminate, the time it is left on the hair, indications, contraindications).

All products used for lamination contain silicone, protein, and keratin. The listed substances make curls manageable, make combing easier, and eliminate frizz.

Features of the procedure

The treatment procedure for eyelash lamination takes from an hour to an hour and a half; there should be no inconvenience or discomfort during the process. The only thing that might happen is a slight tingling afterward due to eyelash dyeing. The coloring pigment in the preparation contains chemicals, the rest is natural substances. After opening your eyes, the tingling should go away. It is important to remember that burning and tingling during the lamination process occurs due to eye disease or the use of a low-quality product.

Eyelash lamination, which is recommended to read reviews about before attending the procedure itself, is a process of strengthening eyelashes with a long-lasting effect of up to three months. In some cases, the effect of the composition is reduced to two months:

if eyelashes are quickly renewed;
if you are used to showering very often;
if you actively use cosmetics;
quality of cosmetics and other factors.

Lamination of eyelashes, reviews of which talk about the incomparable “open eyes” effect, makes eyelashes curved and beautiful. It is important to remember that if you have short, sparse and weak eyelashes, you should not expect incredible results from the first lamination procedure (immediate length, thickness and volume). Only its regular implementation for medicinal purposes will return them to a healthy state. Depending on the condition of the eyelashes, you can repeat the procedure without waiting for the end of the three-month period.

Eyelash lamination LVL, reviews of which are generally positive, will not harm you in any way in case of an “overdose” of the drug. Eyelashes will absorb as many nutrients as they need to recover. But with the right approach, it is not recommended to repeat the procedure often (within two months); it is better to wait until new eyelashes grow.

Procedure

Let's take a closer look at how the procedure happens:

Preparatory stage. In order to proceed directly to the lamination procedure, the master must degrease the eyelashes and apply a special emollient to the skin of the eyelids. To prevent the upper and lower eyelashes from sticking together, a silicone pad will be installed.
At this stage, a special silicone roller is applied to the eyelashes. Depending on the length of the eyelashes, there are three sizes. Next, the main composition will be applied. The strengthening and nutrition of eyelashes depends on it, and the color pigment lies on top of this composition much better.
After the first product has dried, it’s time to paint. The master will select the shade that will be most suitable. Also, the procedure can be carried out without additional staining.
At the final stage, keratin is applied to the eyelashes. It will fix all the ingredients and allow the eyelashes to look healthy and well-groomed for a long time.

Each stage separately lasts from 7 to 15 minutes. And additional time is needed for the eyelashes to dry.

The preparatory stage serves for better opening of hair scales and optimal penetration of subsequent formulations. This is followed by giving the eyelashes shape, color and volume, moisturizing and nourishing them. At the end of the procedure, the scales are closed and the given shape is once again fixed. It should be noted that the closing process is completed within 24 hours, so it is important to follow the wizard’s recommendations.

During the procedure, dormant bulbs are activated, thereby stimulating additional, accelerated growth of new eyelashes.

It should be noted that throughout the entire lamination process, the eyes must remain closed so that the compounds do not get under the eyelids, so it is better not to try to carry out this procedure yourself.
