What is eyelash lamination

Let’s see what this procedure is from a scientific point of view.

Lamination of eyelashes is the lengthening and thickening of hairs by applying special compounds to them, in which contain nutritious oils, useful mineral components, acids, active vitamin elements.

As a result of the procedure, eyelashes acquire a healthy, well-groomed appearance and visually increase in volume. The look becomes expressive and attractive, and it seems that the eyelashes are made up with lengthening mascara.

Advantages of eyelash lamination

The eyelash lamination procedure has a wide list of advantages:

  • Giving volume and length to eyelashes. It’s just what any girl wants. Eyelashes appear longer due to full staining with pigment.
  • Clear bend. For girls with long but straight eyelashes, lamination is a great way to fix their angle.
  • Thickening. The hair is filled with compounds and paint. This visually makes the cilia more dense.
  • Eliminates the need for daily mascara application. Together with lamination, eyelashes go through the painting stage, so after the procedure there will be no need to use additional cosmetics. But if you want to achieve the effect of “doll eyelashes”, you can apply voluminous mascara over lamination.
  • Lack of strict rules. We are talking about restrictions before and after the procedure. Lamination of eyelashes does not require any special preparation.

Cons of eyelash lamination

Perhaps the main disadvantage is the temporary effect (the compositions stay on the eyelashes from one to two months). But, in addition to this, the list of contraindications to the procedure can also be attributed to the minuses:

  • Eye diseases. In case of eye diseases, you should not resort to the lamination procedure in order to avoid injury and exacerbation.
  • Allergy. If you are allergic to any of the drugs, the procedure is not recommended to avoid reactions.
  • Pregnancy. Also, the procedure is not recommended for pregnant women. Since during this period the hormonal background is very changeable, it is worth abandoning the lamination of eyelashes in order to avoid an unpredictable result.

Let’s talk about each step of the process in more detail.

Prepare

The eyelash lamination procedure does not require particularly complex preparation. It is only recommended not to apply creams and oils on the skin of the eyelids a day before the procedure and take care of the absence of contraindications.

Procedure

Eyelash lamination procedure is carried out in several stages. Let’s consider each of them:

  • Make-up removal and degreasing. Remains of cosmetics are removed from the eyes, and after the cilia are degreased with a special tool. This is necessary for better absorption of the compositions into the hair structure.
  • Roller fixation. The subsequent result of the procedure depends on this stage, since eyelashes are fixed on the roller. This way they will get the desired bend.
  • Application of the first composition. It is needed to soften the eyelashes. Passing through the outer layer of hairs, it helps to rebuild the internal structure of the cilia and open the scales.
  • Application of the second composition. Applied to hold the lashes in the laid out position. Thanks to him, the scales are sealed, which helps to preserve the curl of the cilia.
  • Eyelash coloring. Next is staining. The coloring pigment is evenly applied to the surface of the eyelashes and aged until completely dry.
  • Application of the third composition. This composition is necessary for the nutrition of eyelashes. Keratin is applied to them, adding density to the hairs. The fibers of the composition cling to the hair, making it thicker1. 

Important: The exposure time of each of the compositions varies from 5 to 25 minutes!

Tip: to maintain the effect of lamination, it is worth applying burdock oil or vitamins A and E to the eyelashes every three days.2

Aftermath

Like all cosmetic procedures, eyelash lamination can have consequences. Let’s consider them in more detail:

  • Violation of the water-alkaline balance. Keratin, enveloping the eyelashes, can limit the flow of moisture to the hairs, which in turn can slow down the growth of cilia.
  • Reduction of air supply to the cilia. This is not so scary, but still, it is recommended to carry out the lamination procedure on completely healthy hairs.
  • Acceleration of eyelash growth. Yes, the consequences can be not only negative! Laminating compounds improve the structure of the hairs, which can contribute to their growth.
