Modern cosmetology offers a large number of new products for women to make them more and more attractive. One of the most popular services today is lamination of eyelashes or, as it is also called, keratin restoration of eyelashes. Does lamination replace volume eyelash extensions and what are the consequences of the procedure for laminating eyelashes. Let's figure it out. (A similar procedure is carried out with eyebrow lamination )
BENEFITS OF EYELASH LAMINATION
The effect of eyelash lamination will be almost the same as that of biowave or 1D extension. Why do women increasingly prefer this procedure? The main reason is the natural ingredients that are used in lamination, which help the eyelashes to recover. Because any chemical preparations, no matter how beautiful the effect they give, still bear some harm to the structure of the eyelashes, in addition, chemical components can provoke allergies.
The main goal of the lamination procedure is to make thin eyelashes long, expressive and correctly curved. And to achieve these goals is obtained thanks to the keratin contained in the preparation, so this procedure is often called "keratin lamination of eyelashes." Of course, it is desirable to do it only in salons and only by professionals.
Because often, some unscrupulous or untrained craftsmen, under the guise of lamination, simply make customers a regular biowave. Especially if they see that the client was on the procedure for the first time. Therefore, I recommend visiting only those salons or those masters who are licensed to carry out such procedures.
The procedure takes about one and a half to two hours of time (it all depends on the "obedience" of the eyelashes and a complete or incomplete set of procedures). After that, you can safely go and do your daily business, there is no recovery period or "fixing" there. One is a recommendation - do not wash your eyes, for 24 hours, with any soapy solution.
PROCEDURE FOR LAMINATION OF EYELASHES, STEP-BY-STEP
- Eyelashes are prepared for the session, the remaining cosmetics, impurities and excess fat are removed from them with special preparations. This is required so that those useful compounds that are part of the products used in lamination are completely absorbed by the eyelashes.
- The lower lashes are isolated with hydrogel patches.
- The upper eyelashes are degreased with a special tool.
- The eyelashes are selected according to the size of the eyelashes on the upper eyelid, and then a silicone mold is glued (another name: rollers or "curlers"), which gives the eyelashes the desired look and raises them (see the video below).
- Lashes are laid out on this silicone roller.
- Then they are applied in turn: first COMPOSITION No. 1 - revealing the scales of the eyelashes, for further better nutrition with a vitamin composition. And after that - COMPOSITION No. 2 - the vitamin composition itself.
- The next step is to apply pigment to the eyelashes to color them in the desired color.
- Then Botox for eyelashes (Lash Botox) is applied, which strengthens, restores and heals the cilia, making them fuller and stronger over time.
- Then COMPOSITION No. 3 is applied - the final composition (Moisturizing and Nutrition), envelops and closes the scales of the eyelashes, fixes their bend and fixes the eyelashes.
- Rollers and hydrogel patches are removed.
- Eyelashes are combed with a silicone (!) brush.
When choosing a pigment, you can choose the shade that you like best. Due to them, the look becomes more languid. As a result, a woman gets magnificent curled eyelashes, voluminous and thick. And all this is only due to her own eyelashes, without the need for gluing artificial hairs. In addition, lamination provides healthy care for eyelashes, since there are enough useful substances in its structure for this.

FOR WHOM EYELASH LAMINATION IS SUITABLE
Any girl or woman who takes care of her appearance can do lamination for herself. Only for those who are going to go on vacation at sea, and for a sufficiently long period, there are special instructions. There, the eyelashes will be exposed to direct UV rays, sea water and enough dry wind.
It is worth noting that it is useful to do the lamination procedure for those who live in cold climates. Laminate protects eyelashes from frost and wind. Also, if you live in an area with a lot of exhaust gases or smog in the air, and highly chlorinated water flows from the faucet, lamination will at least not hurt.
All these negative natural phenomena and factors have a harmful effect on eyelashes and can lead to their partial loss. If you regularly do lamination, you will soon be able to abandon the usual mascara and eyeliners, they will no longer be needed, the appearance of your eyelashes will be very attractive anyway. Laminate makes sure that the eyelashes are healthy and that the eyelashes sit tightly in their places 😉.
COMPARE THE PROS AND CONS OF EYELASH LAMINATION AND EYELASH EXTENSIONS
In addition to all the advantages listed above, there is one more - the effect of this procedure itself can last up to two months (extended eyelashes have a maximum period of 6 weeks), that is, during this entire period, you practically won’t remember what you need to do something with eyelashes to give them an attractive look, they will be attractive anyway.
In addition, with laminated eyelashes, you can go to the sauna, SPA, bath, swim in salty sea water, etc. The only rule is that you must avoid washing with soapy water for the first 24 hours after the procedure! After this time (24 hours) you can do everything you used to do on a daily basis, including using heavy creams, eye drops, contact fluids, etc.
Of the contraindications, experts distinguish the period of pregnancy and lactation. And also it is not advised to do the procedure for those who have any eye diseases. In order not to provoke an exacerbation of the disease.
The advantage of volume eyelash extensions is that such volume can never be achieved by lamination. Without a doubt, high-quality 3D, 5D, etc. volumetric extension looks much more impressive than lamination.
Unlike lash extensions, laminated lashes won't flex or fall off when you sleep with your face in a pillow, for example.
When doing eyelash extensions, you should never rub your eyes, because this will injure the eyelashes and they will fall out. Lamination of eyelashes does not give such an effect, and after the lamination procedure, the eyelashes are not afraid of friction (although you should not be zealous in this) - this does not have a particular negative effect on the eyelashes.
With frequent use of lash extensions, lashes are sparse, short, weak, and sometimes have to be treated for several months with various ingredients/serums until your natural lashes recover. However, this never happens with laminated lashes!
Now about lovers to carry out salon procedures at home. With lamination, this is unlikely to work. Since even if you purchase all the necessary preparations for lamination, it will not be so easy to carry it out on your own and the result may disappoint you.
But if you still decide, then the lamination procedure is the same as indicated above. Remember safety, apply protective creams and, most importantly, do not let the drug get into your eyes! If this happens, rinse with plenty of water.
