The look is one of the main “weapons” of women who want to attract attention and look perfect in all situations. Eyelash extension solves this problem one hundred percent, because it is this procedure that creates natural beauty and makes the eyes expressive and memorable.
Masters in salons offer a lot of materials that can make the look expressive – they differ in the length and thickness of the hairs, but the “mink” is considered the most popular, so it’s worth getting to know the features of the procedure closer.
What kind of material “mink” for eyelash extensions
Despite its name, the procedure is carried out from light synthetic hairs, but outwardly resembling natural fur. Mink is distinguished by its special density, matte effect and almost black color, therefore this material is recommended for girls and women with dark hair and eyebrows.
This is a very popular option for eyelash extensions.
Its features include:
- In the process of making mink hairs, a component is added to the composition of the substances, giving a matte effect.
- The term of wearing eyelashes from such material is longer than that of others. At the same time, the cilia from it are not afraid of temperature changes and water procedures. This means that the owner of beautiful extended eyelashes can bask on the beach, take a steam bath or swim in the pool.
- The thickness of the hairs is greater than in other species. Girls with their own large eyelashes can afford such an extension.
- After the procedure, the eyelashes look like thickly made up.
- The fibers are black. Experts advise to paint over your natural cilia before the procedure if they differ in color with the selected material.
- For thin and weak eyelashes, this material is not recommended. The large weight of the hair extensions can harm your own eyelashes.
The mink eyelash extension procedure will take several hours.
The eyelash extension procedure is carried out in almost every salon, while you can choose not only a certain material to create density and length, but also volume.
Depending on the number of hairs, you can make a “Hollywood look” or just slightly correct the shape of your eyes and give them expressiveness.
The material “mink” has a long wear effect, while it does not need special care. Eyelashes with dignity will withstand temperature changes, as for the winter period and visiting saunas, as well as a long stay in the water on vacation or in the pool.
Mink has a relatively small weight and rarely causes allergic reactions, so it can be worn for quite a long period without a break, but a little rest for the eyes is still needed, so you should listen to the recommendations of the masters.
To correct the look, the material is often combined with “sable” and “silk”, then a more expressive effect is obtained. At the same time, salons offer such a procedure as colored eyelash extensions, which can create a unique image.
When there is a combination of hairs of a natural color with other tones, the effect can be beyond any expectations, especially often this procedure is carried out for celebrations, holidays and parties.
The benefits of mink eyelash extensions – the trend for naturalness in 2022
The main advantage of the material is considered to be a natural appearance, thanks to a special treatment, the hairs lose their artificial shine. The villi are elastic and glued to the eyelid with a rubber-based composition, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
At the same time, before carrying out the eyelash extension procedure, a sensitivity test is required. The master will glue a few hairs and wait for the reaction, if it does not follow, then you can safely create an expressive look.
Usually the procedure takes 1.5-3 hours, this difference in time depends on the volume you want to achieve.
Advantages of “mink” for eyelash extensions:
- Hypoallergenic, material and rubber adhesive rarely cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.
- The hairs are resistant to any negative factors and do not lose their elasticity in frost, heat and water.
- Depending on the gluing technique and the length of the villi, different effects can be achieved – this is volume, playfulness and openness of the look, visual lifting of the eyelids.
- After the procedure, there is no need to use decorative cosmetics, the cilia look quite thick.
- The villi have an optimal thickness, which is recommended for girls and women for eyelash correction to make the look more expressive.
When building up, two gluing techniques are used – this is a single and beam. The first option has a longer-term and natural effect.
Beam application has drawbacks, with an incorrect procedure, glued hairs quickly fall off, which looks unaesthetic, you will have to re-apply to the master to glue the hairs or completely remove the extension.
