Methods of eyelash extensions

For most of women long and beautiful eyelashes are a dream come true. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy enough to own such lashes. The good news is that there are some ways to change it. The most accessible one is the right mascara – the one with lengthening properties. This is determined by the composition rich in substances that enhance eyelash growth, for example arginine or soy sprout extract. If you don’t want to wait for the effect, you can extend your eyelashes. Find out what the methods of eyelash extensions are.

• 1 to 1 method
  It involves gluing one false eyelash to one natural eyelash at a distance of 1mm from the lash line. Due to the fact that the eyelash has no direct contact with the skin, the risk of allergic reaction for the adhesive is reduced to a minimum. This is the most commonly chosen method due to natural effects.
• 2:1 method
  This method involves attaching two false eyelashes to one natural in order to obtain a thickening effect. In the 2:1 method only lashes from mink fur are used because they are the lightest and, hence, they do not overload the natural hairs. One eyelash is glued like in the 1:1 method and the other one at the very base, which gives the effect of double thickening.
• 3:1 method
  Here, three false eyelashes (also from mink fur) are attached to one natural. The result is elongated and thickened lashes. The 3:1 method is recommended especially for women with sparse lashes as gluing 3 lashes to one natural significantly increases their volume.

Bling & Go eyelash extensions

This method involves attaching false eyelashes to only some of natural eyelashes. It gives the effect of asymmetrical, natural lashes. What’s more, in this method a slow-drying adhesive is used, whereas in 1:1 only a quick-drying one.

Other methods

Many beauty salons offer their individual eyelash extensions methods. Usually, these are variations of the basic methods; their innovativeness lies in, for example, the size or type of the lashes attached. Bold women can try coloured eyelashes to create an ombre effect. There is also a possibility to choose a procedure in which 6 lashes of mink fur are attached to one natural – the only condition is strong natural eyelashes.
