Lamination of eyelashes is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed in beauty salons, aimed at increasing the volume and density of eyelashes to achieve a bright appearance.
The photographs before and after the procedure clearly show an impressive result that can radically change the appearance for the better. With knowledge of the basics and rules of the procedure, using only high-quality materials, you can do lamination yourself at home.
The purpose of the procedure is to turn thin eyelashes into long ones and get a curved shape. The main component of the mixture for lamination is keratin. This is a protein that is located inside the hair. In cosmetology, this element is used to improve hair and maintain a beautiful skin condition.
Keratin contains natural ingredients:
- vegetable oils;
- extracts;
- vitamin supplements;
- wheat protein;
- peptides.
Biological ingredients help restore the structure of eyelashes, stimulate their growth, they become stronger and more beautiful. The composition envelops each hair and nourishes with microelements, making the cilia long, thick, and more twisted at the ends.
The formula of the mixture thickens, fills with pigment, saturates with keratin. Eyelashes after cosmetic actions look as natural and voluminous as possible.
Lamination differs from extensions in that synthetic fibers are not required to be glued to the ciliary edge of the eyes.
Lamination is called simple hair treatment. The procedure is especially useful for women who live in the northern regions of the country, industrial cities with polluted air. Negative natural environment, external factors adversely affect the eyelashes and lead to their loss.
Thanks to the improvement of hairs with the help of keratin, without the use of mascara, the eyes will look attractive for a long time. The procedure has a cumulative effect, when using the service once a month, the eyelashes thicken. After the first procedure, eyelashes become 25-35% more voluminous. Each subsequent lamination will add about 15% density.
For fine hairs, lamination should be repeated for 90 days with an interval of 30 days. To maintain healthy, beautiful hairs, it is recommended to resort to such a service 2-3 times a year.
Types of lamination
- Eyelash coloring.
- Treatment.
- Shaping is modeling.
Hair coloring is considered a classic lamination. For staining, a composition is chosen that is equipped with pigment dyes. Thanks to the color, the eyelashes acquire the desired shade. The treatment method includes healing and restoration of eyelashes.
Manufacturers have developed an improved formula, which contains: growth activators, sunflower extracts, essential oils that nourish the damaged areas of hairs. The main effect of the procedure is a healthy appearance after adverse external conditions on the eyelashes. They look neat and tidy.
Modeling is considered a cosmetic intervention. When performing work, mixtures are used that contribute to the weighting of eyelashes. After the procedure, the hairs are easier to style; when stained with cosmetic mascara, long eyelashes will not “look” in different directions.
Advantages and disadvantages of the method
Eyelash lamination visually opens the eyes, making facial features more attractive:

The technology of the procedure in the salon
Eyelash lamination (before and after photos): demonstrates that the work consists of several steps: the beautician applies the composition to the hairs and waits for the eyelashes to be impregnated with the composition. Unpleasant painful sensations do not occur. The only caveat, perhaps, can tear your eyes while applying the composition to the hairs.
The sequence of steps:
Eyelash lamination technology in the salon:
Eyelash lamination at home
Eyelash healing with keratin can be done independently at home. Before performing the operation, you should read the information about lamination, and watch a few video tutorials to understand the aspects of work. To complete the process, you will need to purchase a fresh mixture for eyelash lamination and tools.
Manufacturers in the instructions describe the sequence of actions so that the “newbie” can easily cope with the task.
The disadvantage of using professional preparations at home is that it is difficult to perform the procedure for yourself in front of your eyes. If done incorrectly, the liquid may flow into the eyes, or an ugly shape of the hairs will result due to incorrect attachment of the curler to the eyelashes.
A safe and inexpensive method for home without the help of strangers is gelatin. It has similar properties with salon lamination: protection and strengthening of hairs.
Preparation of gelatin lamination and its application:
Hair care after the procedure
The first day after eyelash lamination, you need to follow the basic rules - do not wet, do not rub your eyes, sleep on your back. The appearance of the hairs looks like wet, because at the end of the procedure, the beautician lubricates with an oil preparation that nourishes and fixes the entire mixture on the fibers.
Lamination of eyelashes: photos before and after the procedure. The before and after photos show that if these recommendations are followed, the eyelashes look neat and glossy. After a day, you can perform any manipulations with the hairs, excluding the use of cosmetic disks to remove eye makeup.
It is allowed after the procedure after 24 hours to apply mascara on the eyelashes, use eye cream, apply washing cosmetics, go to the bath, sauna, swimming pool, sleep in a comfortable position, swim in the sea.
Precautions and Common Newbie Mistakes
Negative consequences after the procedure arise due to the wrong actions of the master during work.
The main mistakes are:
- creases;
- ignoring the increased curliness of the hairs;
- no curl.
To prevent them, you should familiarize yourself with the details of each:
There are some nuances that need to be considered before lamination:
Opinions and reviews about the procedure
Lamination of eyelashes, as you can see in numerous before and after photos, always brings results, but whether it will be positive or negative, it depends on many things.
Often women note that the procedure is quick and does not bring discomfort. In most cases, the result obtained is delightful. The bend of the hairs lasts about a month without changes, only after this period the effect begins to decrease. Without the use of mascara, the eyes look expressive.
Women who use a cosmetic product on eyelashes claim that any mascara falls on the hairs evenly and without lumps.
Most girls notice after lamination sessions the effect of an expressive look and an improvement in the structure of the hairs. The result is compared with the use of cosmetic mascara. The procedure should be carried out by an experienced beautician.
Is it worth it to save on a specialist
An experienced master will select the composition according to the type of hairs and make the shape of the eyelashes beautiful, they will not stick out in different directions. When contacting a novice specialist, you may encounter the fact that he will overexpose the mixture, or vice versa, will not withstand the required time, and will not allow the substances to completely saturate the fibers.
Owners of naturally long and thick, but light eyelashes fell in love with this procedure, because the hair extensions deteriorate from the extended fibers (the length decreases and becomes rarer), and the dye lasts for 10-15 days, which is not very practical.
The effect of lamination differs in duration up to 30 days, natural bend, saturated color. Some do this procedure before leaving on vacation. The enveloping film protects the hairs, prevents breakage and burning. Women note that lamination withstands the test of the sun and sea water.
Negative sides
In addition to the positive aspects, some girls are not happy with this procedure. Lamination is carried out in a supine position. This position must be maintained for at least an hour, which is not easy.
Owners of short eyelashes expected a greater effect, they expected to see long eyelashes, but such a result was not displayed in the mirror. Some more girls with weak eyelashes in structure assure that after a week the hairs begin to break and succumb to the section.
Lamination of eyelashes is considered a painless process, but many had a tearing reaction, and clients did not like the smell of the composition.
Lamination of eyelashes in the photo before and after have a significant difference. Obviously, the hairs are more expressive and voluminous, while retaining their naturalness. The result of the procedure brings smooth eyelashes in structure and curved graceful shape for quite a long time.

How to learn how to do eyelash lamination:
Lamination of eyelashes is a caring procedure that involves deep nourishment of natural cilia with special formulations with a high content of vitamins and amino acids. Subsequently, the hairs visually lengthen, become silky and lush, acquire a neat shape, a healthy shine, a beautiful and even curl.
Providing natural beauty for up to 6 weeks of expressive looks, this technique allows girls to safely put aside mascara and enjoy their thick, seductively curled, dark and shiny laminated lashes. But before you say a firm “no” to shortcomings in the form of fading and lack of volume, you need to understand all the intricacies of the innovative beauty trend.
How it works
is a technique of step-by-step application of special bio-preparations, the basis of which is the natural protein keratin. Small protein particles during the procedure penetrate deep into the hairs, fill microcracks and damaged areas, thereby strengthening the structure, thickening and smoothing the surface of each cilium.
Lamination steps:
- Training
After a joint discussion and study with the client of the future image, the master cleans the eyelashes from makeup residues, impurities and sebum. This is necessary for better absorption of nutrients. A hydrogel patch is placed on the lower eyelid. - Treatment of eyelids and eyelashes with a softening composition
A special tool protects the skin around the eyes and softens the hairs, making them pliable and flexible. Lashmaker builds the future shape and curl, carefully laying each hair on a silicone roller. - Fixation of the bend
A nourishing serum is applied to the eyelashes, which allows you to fix the formed curl and prepare the hairs for painting. - Coloring
The master applies the pigment, carefully working through each eyelash. - Completion
Full length eyelashes with the inclusion of the root zone are covered with a mask, which includes keratin, a complex of vitamins and nourishing oils for deep nutrition, care, strengthening the roots and stimulating hair growth.
The eyelash lamination procedure does not cause discomfort and can take from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. The client's eyes must remain closed at all stages. Given the speed of the natural process of hair renewal, a second session of such an intensive restoration can be carried out as early as the next month.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Guaranteed results:
- the volume of natural cilia increases by 30%;
- due to the beautiful bend from the root zone, the hairs look longer, and the look becomes more open and expressive;
- lashes acquire a radiant healthy shine and a rich dark shade that blends harmoniously with the color of the skin, eyes and hair.
In their reviews, happy owners of laminated eyelashes highlight three reasons to love their new look forever:
- As a result of biolamination, you can achieve a stunning visual transformation without the slightest harm to native eyelashes.
- The compositions used by professional craftsmen in specialized salons are safe even for people who have experienced allergies to glue when building.
- An absolutely natural bright result without the need for correction and complex care lasts up to 6 weeks.
An expressive look from under fluffy, long eyelashes with a flirty curve - what else does a girl need for a good mood and a stunning appearance? Biolamination allows you to leave behind perms, permanent coloring and daily use of mascara in favor of healthy spectacular cilia.
Aftercare Basics
After lamination for 24 hours, the eyelashes are intensively saturated with a keratin composition. In order not to remove the nutritious top layer of the preparation and the pigment, it is better to refuse washing for this time. You can swim in salty sea water, dive in the pool, enjoy bathing procedures, paint eyelashes with your favorite mascara or experiment with make-up without fear for maintaining the desired effect in a day.
Further care is no different from the usual rules for taking care of the health of the eyes, skin of the eyelids and eyelashes - for makeup, it is recommended to choose hypoallergenic decorative cosmetics and limit intense mechanical impact (friction, twitching, etc.) so as not to spoil the bend and not injure the hairs.
An important advantage of lamination over extensions is that after the procedure it is not forbidden to tint the cilia with mascara for an even brighter effect.
Everything "pros" And "minuses»
The popularity of lamination is provided by such secrets and facts about the procedure:
- The dark color of the cilia (achieved thanks to a special pigment without the content of an oxidizing agent and acids in its composition and does not fade for up to 6 weeks).
- Flirtatious curl of each hair (depending on the natural parameters and the wishes of the client, you can adjust the bend from natural to impressive doll).
- Volume (if the procedure is carried out regularly, with each subsequent session, the density of the eyelashes increases by 10%).
- Efficiency (lamination can be performed qualitatively on cilia of any type).
As a result of deep nutrition with beneficial substances, the structure of natural eyelashes is regenerated, damaged areas are restored, the hairs become stronger and thicker. Hair follicles are activated in growth, and the skin around the eyes looks toned and smoothed.
However, such an obvious benefit can be leveled by the wrong procedure. Lamination at home, carelessness or negligence of the master, errors in the use of a complex of preparations, methods and time of applying the compositions lead to injuries, irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, swelling, etc. To get rid of such unpleasant consequences, it will take several months to update the ciliary row and restore the skin of the eyelids.
In addition to the fact that eyelash lamination should only be trusted by a qualified, experienced master, you need to pay attention to contraindications before the procedure. Laminating eyelashes is not recommended for girls suffering from mucosal diseases, with individual intolerance to serum components, as well as those who have recently undergone surgery in the eye area.
People have always strived for beauty. The appearance of a person says a lot, they knew this long before our era. The ancient Egyptians were the first to pay special attention to eyelashes. They invented the prototype of the 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 droppings. Millennia later, special dyes appeared that are known to us today. But the daily application of makeup also fades into oblivion. It is being replaced by procedures that can give a longer effect, do not harm health, and save time on make-up. Lamination of eyelashes is a real breakthrough in the field of cosmetology, which every day wins women's hearts, occupying a special place in the world of beauty.
Revealing all cards
The lamination procedure is harmless. And this is the main reason for its popularity, as well as being in demand in the beauty industry. It nourishes with useful components, 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 absolutely do not interfere, do not cause discomfort, do not create a feeling of a foreign body, which significantly differs from extensions.
Everything happens due to keratin, which is included in the compositions for lamination. This 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 against exposure to sunlight, frost and dust.
It is also pleasant 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 well. Positive customer reviews are the main proof of this.
Today, most elite beauty salons use it. The secret of such success is that manufacturers have added keratin to the composition, which does not spoil the hair, strengthens, nourishes it, and also neutralizes harmful chemicals.
Result duration
The effect after lamination lasts about 2 months. After 4 weeks, the form becomes less pronounced. But this is natural, because eyelashes continue to grow. It is important that the composition that is applied is not washed out, it simply grows along with the dies. This process happens 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.
Trademark Yumi Lashes has developed a special tool to prolong the effect of lamination. It looks like regular mascara, although it has a slightly gel-like consistency. The composition contains components that give long-term care to your cilia.
Usually the correction is carried out after 2 months. Please note that if a specialist suggests doing it earlier, then in view of the functional features of the body, regeneration is faster.
With caution: for pregnant women, during lactation, the menstrual cycle and taking hormonal drugs, since a mild effect of the procedure or a shorter wear is possible.
Benefits of the procedure
There is no need to talk much about the advantages of this manipulation. Just look at the photos before and after, and everything will become clear.
What does lamination give?
- Beautiful natural curve (even if you didn't have it before).
- Live shine.
- Elongation and thickening up to 30%.
- Activation of the bulbs, which means a significant acceleration of the growth of eyelashes, their density.
- Restored hair structure.
- Additional coloration.
- Complex nutrition.
- Care-lifting.
After lamination, it is allowed to safely use a cream for the skin around the eyes, cosmetics for washing. In addition, you can add expressiveness to the look with the help of mascara, this will not affect the duration of the effect in any way. Manipulation after removal of extended eyelashes 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, there are still some disadvantages. Despite the fact that useful components predominate in the composition, even the most gentle perm remains chemical. But don't be afraid. If you carry out the manipulation correctly, follow all the 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 will be covered with compositions again, accumulating nutrients. During this period, do not forget to use the Yumi home care line to prolong the effect.
Another nuance is the formation of an irregular bend. If you overdo it with a curl, it will bring you a lot of trouble. It will be impossible to make up your eyes with mascara if necessary, no matter how hard you try. Yes, and too twisted 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 on the composition - this is an individual feature of the body.
Strict taboo
Like any cosmetic procedure, keratin lamination of eyelashes has its contraindications, which should not be neglected:
- Surgical intervention in the eye area, chronic ailments, rehabilitation period.
- Diseases of the mucosa or not fully cured barley.
- Individual intolerance to individual components of the composition.
Some masters also include pregnancy or lactation as a contraindication. And although manipulation does not carry danger, the expected result may not be. And the thing is that with changes in the hormonal background, a perm may simply not work. Although many future mothers actively use such a salon service, they have an expressive look without any damage to health or negative consequences.
How it all happens
Lamination is performed in several stages, lasting an average of 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.
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 lamination of eyelashes, you can not 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 moment the bend is formed. 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 like they are lightly glued or heavily oiled. In no case should you try to wash it off.
Although laminated lashes can be covered with mascara, you should not 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 "chase" 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 right manipulation? The table will help you understand:
It is also necessary to take into account the cost of both procedures: the average prices for eyelash extensions in Moscow are lower than for keratin lamination, but the wear of extended eyelashes is also less.
The decisive factors that will stop any fluctuation between these two manipulations are natural data and the expected result. Both of them 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. Firstly, only a professional knows what technique and when to apply. Secondly, it is very important to choose the right product, calculate the time for which to leave it on the eyelashes. And thirdly, throughout the manipulation, the eyes should 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 recommendations for care;
- internal features of the body;
- violation of technology by the master;
- low-quality cosmetics;
- pregnancy, lactation, hormonal imbalance.
As a result, the client receives zero expected effect, and the beautician receives 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 true professional.

Absolutely nothing. In the same way as a solarium, sauna, bath - all this is allowed.

Four times a year is ideal. You can do it more often if your eyelashes are growing and renewing quickly.
- How to choose a master?
First of all, get acquainted with its activities: find out the list of services provided, read customer reviews, see photos of finished works. In the salon, do not hesitate to ask for certificates, licenses. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the room, the sterility of the instruments. Considering also how long the procedure takes, the location of the specialist and his friendliness will be useful.
First of all, men pay attention to the eyes of a woman. Her attractive look is able to fall in love with anyone. But in order for the look to become so, careful eyelash care is required. A new cosmetic procedure, lamination of eyelashes, can help with this.
Peculiarities
Many people talk about the procedure, someone has already tried it. The consequences of lamination are many. They are mostly positive, of course. But with the wrong choice of the drug, it can adversely affect health, so when preparing for it, you need to carefully study the compositions and the reaction of your body to them.
Swiss specialists were the first to use lamination. They have developed a composition that nourishes and strengthens eyelashes. The preparation includes many vitamins and keratin. They protect the hairs from the harmful effects of the urban environment and stimulate their growth.
After the procedure, eyelashes become visually longer, more voluminous. In addition, they remain curved, so that the female look becomes expressive. Immediately after lamination, the substances that make up the preparation begin to act actively, and after a short time the eyelashes really become larger. It is for such a stunning effect that girls go to beauty salons.
The composition is kept on the eyelashes for three months, gradually washed off. In addition, new hairs grow that have not yet been treated with the product. You can repeat the care procedure after one and a half to two months, it will not harm.
You can carry out the procedure both in the salon and at home. The first option is more expensive, but if lamination has not been carried out before, then it is better to visit a specialist. The master will tell you about all the nuances, correctly apply the product. At the same time, it is important to choose a salon that employs recognized masters of their craft who you can trust.
Beautician cleans eyelids and eyelashes from cosmetics, dust and grease. Then a cotton pad is placed on the lower eyelid. Some masters use a special protective substance instead of a disk. This is necessary to protect the skin from the ingress of laminating serum. A special adhesive is applied to the special silicone molds to prevent slippage from the upper eyelid. These forms are needed in order to give the eyelashes an elegant and delightful curve.
Using the same glue, each eyelash is carefully glued to the form, forming a bend. The preparation is over and it's time to apply a vitamin complex that impregnates the hairs. He also gives them nourishment and strength.
After burning, and this is the name of the previous stage, a layer of pigment is applied, which paints the eyelashes in the desired color.
As a rule, the client is invited to choose one of five shades. At the end of the procedure, the master applies a preparation that contains beneficial keratin. It fixes the curve. In addition, eyelashes receive additional nutrition.
Sometimes girls worry and are afraid of this procedure, but in vain, because lamination is a harmless procedure that does not cause pain and discomfort if everything is done step by step and carefully.
Often, girls face the question of what to choose - lamination or extension. A couple of years ago, such a question did not arise, because apart from building, the salons could not offer anything. Now any master will say that if a girl is ready to spend a little more on herself than usual, then she needs to pay attention to lamination.
This procedure is more harmless, since the substance that is applied to the eyelashes contains only natural ingredients. In no case should you combine lamination and extension!
Advantages and disadvantages
The procedure has a number of pros and cons. The negative consequences of the procedure are about the same as the positive ones. But they can be avoided if you are attentive to your health.
If the master in the salon is not a professional, then he can harm the health of the client. In small cheap salons, they do not always follow the classification of a specialist and the composition of the drug that is applied to the eyelashes. As a result, due to the unprofessionalism of the cosmetologist, the effect will be exactly the opposite of what was expected: the eyelashes will be too curved and seem to be broken. Some believe that they look like the legs of some kind of insect.
The worst thing that can happen during lamination is getting a chemical composition into the eye.
Immediately there is a strong burning sensation, itching, redness and lacrimation. You need to immediately stop the procedure and go to the doctor. As a result of an incorrectly selected drug or if it gets into the eye, vision may deteriorate, swelling of the eyelid is not excluded.
Another unpleasant consequence when you need the help of a doctor is an allergic reaction. If this happens, it will be easier for the doctor to prescribe treatment if he is provided with an annotation from the drug.
With other less dangerous, but still unpleasant consequences, the struggle is the same: time. We are talking about an incorrect form that turned out after lamination, as well as eyelashes that lie incorrectly. In such cases, you need to rinse off the product or wash more often if the serum has already frozen.
It is important to note the benefits of lamination. Damaged eyelashes can be repaired with this procedure. Growth accelerates, elasticity appears, due to which they fall out less often and stop breaking. The look becomes more seductive, which, of course, is the main goal of any girl.
Pros:
- Strengthens eyelashes and protects from the negative effects of the environment.
- Gives expressiveness to the look.
- Eliminates the need to regularly use decorative cosmetics.
- There is no sensation of a foreign object on the eyelashes.
- The structure of the hair is strengthened, due to which the eyelashes grow faster and become stronger.
The greatest number of positive effects can be achieved with a salon procedure, because a professional master cosmetologist knows how to use the drug correctly.
He assesses the condition of the client's eyelashes and is able to choose the most effective drug specifically for her case.
Expert opinion
Knowing how doctors treat this procedure is very important, because it is performed in close proximity to a very important and complex organ - the eye. They do not give an unambiguously positive or negative assessment, since the effect of the components that are applied to the eyelashes can vary greatly in each individual case. For someone, the same substances cause an allergic reaction, for someone they have a positive effect, as a result of which the hairs grow by leaps and bounds, and for someone these same components do not affect at all.
Cosmetologists are happy to do lamination for girls who want to create a mysterious image and become well-groomed. The effect lasts from one and a half to three months, it depends on the rate of hair growth on the body as a whole.
Experts, however, warn that one should not rely on a 100% natural composition of the drug. It still contains a small proportion of chemicals, since it is impossible to achieve an amazing effect only with biocomponents. That is why the procedure requires special care, because it is carried out next to the eyes.
Sometimes clients confuse eyelash lamination and Botox. They are indeed very similar procedures that produce similar results. Both preparations, which are applied to the hairs, are enriched with vitamins and strengthening substances. The application process is also the same. The difference can only be seen under a microscope.
Laminated cilia seem to be enveloped in the preparation and are protected from the external environment.
One might even say under the hood. Oxygen and other substances do not penetrate under this nanofilm. With Botox, the cilia are open. After the procedure, you can apply any oils that have healing properties and various restorative compounds.
What to choose, in each case, the client and the master decide, having discussed the situation and the goals that the girl sets for herself. The effect in both cases, with the correct use of the product, has a positive effect on the appearance and health of the eyelashes.
Optometrists consider lamination harmless only for those girls whose eyes are absolutely healthy. Allergies and eye diseases are the only contraindications in their opinion. Some doctors tend to believe that this procedure should never be done at home, as you can harm yourself. Others are sure that a neat and attentive girl will be able to cope with the task without problems.
It is important to do lamination carefully so as not to damage the mucous membrane of the eye and prevent the product from getting into it. In this case, you should immediately contact an ophthalmologist.
Contraindications
Like any cosmetic procedure, lamination has a number of contraindications. The most important of them is extension. As mentioned above, these procedures cannot be combined. If a girl still wants to increase her eyelashes, then she will have to refuse or postpone lamination.
Experts do not recommend performing the procedure on short eyelashes. It is impossible to achieve the desired effect with them, since lamination is suitable only for those whom nature has endowed from birth. For those whose hairs are not long enough, this procedure will not help, but only harm. With it, they will look funny and ridiculous curls.
Lamination is much more dangerous for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
If you really want the look to be bewitching, then you will have to wait until the child grows up or use home lamination using folk remedies. The ban is due to the fact that during pregnancy and lactation, as well as when taking hormonal contraceptives in women, the hormonal background changes significantly. Incredible, but true: the effect of lamination in pregnant and lactating women can be unpredictable and uneven.
If the composition of the substance that is applied to the eyelashes contains drugs that are allergic, then the procedure will cause severe itching. In addition, the appearance of very strong lacrimation is possible. Tears will increase the reaction of the drug on the eyelashes and it can get on the mucous membrane or in the eye. This is fraught with chemical burns.
In the event that the girl has recently undergone eye surgery, the procedure is strictly contraindicated. Lamination is also prohibited when there are eye diseases, such as conjunctivitis, barley, furuncle. In these cases, the procedure is not just harmful, but dangerous, since the condition can only worsen.
It is undesirable to carry out the procedure for those girls whose skin around the eyes is very dry or, conversely, very oily. This can significantly affect the result and quality of the procedure, even if the skin is well cleaned and treated before it.
At home
If the girl nevertheless decided to do the procedure at home, then she will need the help of a relative or friend, because it will not work to apply the drug to both eyes at the same time. In addition, in case something goes wrong, it will be more difficult to cope with the situation alone.
At home, lamination can be done both with the help of professional means and with the help of folk. The beginning of the procedures is the same: you need to thoroughly wash yourself and get rid of the remnants of cosmetics.
In the first case, the girl will have a long choice of a suitable drug in the store. In recent years, various companies have produced a huge variety of them. The best ones are: Yumi Lashes, Novel Lash Up, Paul Mitchell. Professionals note high quality Sexy lamination, Lvl lashes (Lvl), Wizard. No less good at work Lovely, Velvet, Si Lashes, Protein Twist. It is important to read the description of the composition on the package.
In addition, you will need a silicone mold. It is needed, even if the choice fell on folk remedies. It is important to choose a quality form so that it does not cause unpleasant reactions on the skin.
The form is placed on the eyelids, then a professional laminating agent is applied with a special brush.
The second way is much easier and less dangerous. For him, in addition to the silicone form, you will need 15 grams of gelatin, 50 milliliters of warm water and hair balm. After thoroughly washing the skin of the eyelids, it is necessary to apply a moisturizer. Then you need to dissolve gelatin in warm water, and, heating this mixture, add a teaspoon of pre-prepared balm to it.
The resulting composition is applied to the eyelashes. Leave it on for about 25 minutes and rinse thoroughly with water. The result is no worse than in the salon, with the only difference being that the eyelashes will not be colored.
Care
No special care requirements are required. Experts advise using a high-quality gel-like product for washing after lamination in order to prolong the effect of the procedure. If you use a simple soap, the product will wash off much faster. In general, there are no restrictions on bathing and washing, although it is undesirable to wet the eyelashes on the first day. The cosmetologist will tell you more about the care after each specific composition.
Laminated eyelashes can only be painted with high-quality mascara. It is advisable to comb them daily with a small brush. In addition, it will be very useful to rub olive or castor oil into the eyelashes. To do this, you can use a brush from an old carcass. These oils will not harm lamination, but will help strengthen and grow hairs.
You can visit a bath, sauna, pool or beach with lamination.
Often, girls carry out this procedure immediately before a trip to the sea, so as not to worry about the daily use of waterproof mascara and washing it off in the evenings. The effect of lamination can sometimes replace the use of decorative cosmetics.
Sometimes girls notice a sharp transition from laminated eyelashes to non-laminated ones, which managed to grow back some time after the procedure. This upsets them very much, because the appearance deteriorates greatly. This effect is similar to unpainted hair roots on the head. To avoid this, you should buy special mascara, which costs a little more than regular mascara.
