Eyelash curlers - harm and benefit (reviews of the best)

How to curl eyelashes

? There are several ways! Some are suitable for everyone, some are not. So, you can curl your eyelashes:

using mascara;
using forceps;
using perm;
using heat treatment.

You shouldn't discount it. This is the easiest way to curl eyelashes. The main thing is to be able to apply mascara correctly, in several layers, curling the eyelashes upward with a brush. Today this is the most popular method of curling eyelashes.

Tongs are a great choice, but you just need to choose them wisely, and not buy too cheap ones, from a reputable store. Otherwise, you can simply injure your eyelashes. The advantages of an eyelash curler are significant - it is a very convenient, mobile, fast way to curl and, moreover, the most gentle way to curl eyelashes.

However, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, they are not for daily use, since curling your eyelashes with eyelash curlers every day can injure them. Over time they will become thin and brittle. Secondly, excessively humid, damp weather will quickly return curled eyelashes to their original appearance.

How to curl eyelashes: home methods

Don't have the courage to be aggressive? It's worth paying attention to... the spoon. First, apply a little talcum powder or baby powder to your eyelashes to prevent them from sticking together. Then apply mascara. Take a clean spoon, heat it in warm water and wipe dry with a towel. Touch the spoon - it should not burn (it is better to place it on your cheek - the sensitivity threshold of the skin of the face is much lower than that of the hands). Holding your eyelashes at one corner of your eye between the pad of your thumb and the edge of the spoon, slowly curl your eyelashes from root to tip for about 10 seconds. Repeat until the eyelashes have the desired curl. Be careful: only the thumb should move - it turns, and the spoon remains motionless relative to the finger, otherwise you can break or even tear out several eyelashes.

Easier than curling with a spoon, curling... with your fingers. First, apply a coat of mascara. When applying color to your lashes, slowly rotate the brush to lift them. Now apply a second coat of mascara. Before it dries, warm your fingers by rubbing them together. Then lift your eyelashes with your fingertips, curling them upward. Repeat until you achieve the desired result. If necessary, warm your fingers several times. Instead of rubbing them against each other, you can warm them up with warm water or a hairdryer.

Many ladies prefer curling curlers to other eyelash curling technologies. Until recently, the device was almost the only way to curl eyelashes, so girls are in no hurry to give it up. There is a myth that the device has a bad effect on the condition of hairs, but professional hairdressers refute this statement. In their opinion, it is not the procedure itself that causes damage, but the inept use of forceps. To figure out whether this is so, let's consider the main points.

Advantages of eyelash curler:

eyelashes become voluminous in a matter of minutes;
the technology is considered the most harmless of all available today;
daily use of forceps is acceptable if used correctly;
low cost of the procedure in comparison with other methods.

Disadvantages of eyelash curlers:

in wet and windy weather the effect of the procedure is reduced to zero;
Incorrect use severely injures eyelashes.

Shu Uemura Eyelash-Curler

Shu Uemura tongs are considered abroad to be a legendary beauty product with a long history, but in Russia, unfortunately, the brand does not have its own representative office, and therefore this quite worthy device is not widely known. And in vain! The universal plates are suitable for eyes of any shape, the silicone pad softens the pressure so as not to injure the eyelashes, the achieved result lasts for a long time.

Cons: price, can only be ordered through the official website. Estimated cost: 1,100 – 2,000 rubles.

Japanese firm Shu Uemura's tongs are a kind of legend

I am very pleased with the purchase and do not regret the purchase one bit. My only regret is that I didn’t buy them much earlier. This eyelash curler is worth the money.

They curl the eyelashes in the outer corners of the eyes poorly. Perhaps this is because I have small eyes and the shape of the tweezers is not ideal for me. But for such a price this is a significant minus.

Of the minuses: some complained about the rubber slipping off the handles. Estimated cost - around 300 rubles.

Two spare spacers are sold with the curler

I have been using these tweezers every day for about a year and am very pleased. Curling did not have any negative effect on the condition of my eyelashes. They have not become fragile, do not fall out, and are growing as before. But the look has become more expressive and open, so I recommend this product.

Attempts to curl my eyelashes did not lead to anything. Not the first time, not the tenth. Who knows, maybe I’m doing something wrong, but the fact remains that there is no effect. I really like the tweezers themselves: high-quality, good metal (nickel), comfortable handles, the mechanism itself has a rubber layer so as not to injure the eyelashes. Cute thing, but useless.

Zinger Classic pliers zo-EYE-100-SP

The tongs from the renowned Zinger company are made of high-quality steel, have a moderately hard gasket and another one for replacement. It is believed that the curler follows the anatomical shape of the eyelid, although some customers disagreed with this: in their opinion, curlers are more suitable for small or narrow eyes than for ordinary or large ones.

Estimated cost: 220–310 rubles.

The quality of Zinger is beyond doubt

Zinger quality makes itself felt. The tweezers have served me faithfully for more than three years and there is no need to change them. They did not rust, did not break, the silicone tab did not change color. The tweezers are like new!

Thermostyler for curling eyelashes Letual Recourble

Lightweight and miniature device. The heating element is hidden in a plastic casing so that the heat is felt well, but you can’t get burned even in a hurry. When closing the cap, the button automatically switches to the “Off” position. The device comes with a battery and a brush.

Cons: batteries run out quickly, the effect of curling without mascara is short-lived. Estimated cost: 700–1,000 rubles.

The heat styler head is equipped with teeth

I have been using this device for more than six months now, and the thermal styling has not caused any harm to my eyelashes. The curve holds well when choosing the right mascara. You can also curl already painted eyelashes, but in this case the mascara melts and some eyelashes stick together.

A very cute and attractive looking thing. A brush is also included to get an absolutely stunning result. But there is no result, NO! AT ALL! In general, friends, don’t even think about spending money on this... what should I call it so as not to swear...

Tinydeal Heated Eyelash Curler - electric heated

Pros: lightweight plastic body, ergonomics, no possibility of getting burned, readiness indicator (the light comes on, and the silicone pad changes color as it heats up), affordable price.

Cons: the gap between the working surfaces is very narrow. Estimated cost: 60–100 rubles.

Light curlers can be considered a road version of the curler

This option not only helps you quickly curl your eyelashes, but also the effect lasts for the whole day. You just need to choose a good mascara that will keep the shape of your eyelashes. The device runs on two pinky batteries, which is quite economical, by the way.

I don’t know about others, but I’m not happy with this thing. Useless thing. The effect is very small. Yes, you can tighten them, but using metal tongs will do it much faster and more conveniently.

How eyelash curlers work

The lower part of the device is equipped with two finger connectors, reminiscent of the rings of nail scissors.

On the upper part, depending on the design, there are levers or springs. They end in two volumetric hemispheres, tightly adjacent to each other.

The lower part of the semicircle has a long recess in which there is a dense silicone or rubber lining.

The upper semicircle has an identical radius, due to which, upon contact, both parts close together, forming a kind of puzzle, where cilia are located between the two parts.

The tweezers are intended for curling eyelashes and nothing more. Hairs are placed between the two hemispheres, then the device is closed and pulled up, held for some time, and then released.

Working with eyelashes has always been considered delicate, for this reason it is important to take the process seriously. If, due to inexperience, you purchase a device of questionable quality, you can easily lose your eyelashes. A defective tool cuts off hairs that are not so easy to grow back. Avoid buying tongs in underground passages, markets, and small stalls selling cosmetics. Choose only professional stores that provide a guarantee on their products.

Take the tongs in your hand, insert your fingers into the holes, and then make several movements with them. If unpleasant grinding sounds appear, refuse to purchase. The hemispheres should move easily and freely without additional effort on your part.
Carefully inspect the silicone pad that runs along the bottom base. It should not be very soft so as not to crush the eyelashes. Only with tongs with a hard rubber band can you give the hair the desired bend. The surface should not have “burrs”, glue residues, cuts or other defects.
Choose only those tongs with elastic bands that are secured tightly. On a high-quality device, it does not wobble when in contact with the upper semicircle.
If you definitely decide that the tongs will be used daily, pay attention to products equipped with additional gaskets. With regular curling, the elastic bands wear out after 1.5 months of use, after which they cannot be used.

What does a curling iron look like?

Externally, this tool for creating an attractive look looks like nail scissors, but instead of cutting blades they have a clip . One part of it is applied to the upper eyelid, the other is pressed down on the eyelashes. The edge of the lower lobe is rubberized, which protects the eyelashes from breakage. Some tongs have spare rubber bands in case of damage, which extends the shelf life and operation of this tool.

Some people, especially men, see curling irons as something creepy. Of course, if you look at them for the first time, you feel a little uneasy, especially considering that they are doing something to the eyes with this tool. There's really nothing wrong with it. If you know how to use this tool, then it turns into an assistant.

All types of tweezers have a similar appearance and the same principle of operation. But many manufacturers, for uniqueness, add some kind of “zest” . For example, some have soft handles, engraved clips, or colored or rhinestone-embellished handles. Such additions greatly inflate the price of the instrument. But, on the other hand, such tweezers will be an excellent gift for a glamorous diva.

Types of eyelash curlers

Metal tongs.
The classic and most popular instrument. The device is durable, durable, and gentle on eyelashes. A negative feature of the device is the inability to curl eyelashes painted with mascara.
Plastic tongs.
New in the world of lash industry. They allow you to curl your painted eyelashes, but do not find their consumers. The inconvenient design of the housing does not allow you to curl your eyelashes properly.
Spring tongs.
These include both metal and plastic appliances. The spring prevents excessive compression of the hemispheres, making it extremely difficult for an inexperienced user to damage the eyelashes. The disadvantage of the tool is its fragility. The springs constantly fall out, making the tightening process difficult.

Stretch the skin, the moving eyelid should be clearly visible. Unclench the curling iron and bring it to the eyelash line so that the hairs are located between the hemispheres. Be careful not to pinch the skin of the upper eyelid.
Make sure your hand doesn't shake before squeezing. Slowly close the curler, lift your hand up and hold for 5 seconds, do not press too hard, otherwise your eyelashes will curl unnaturally. Repeat the manipulations 2 more times. Remove the forceps and evaluate the result.
After this, move the tool to the middle of the length of the eyelashes. Hold, wait 5 seconds, release, repeat 2 more times. Next you need to smoothly move on to curling the ends. Do the same manipulations 3 times.
Very thick mascara will help set the curl. Liquid cosmetics promote rapid straightening, as a result of which your efforts will be in vain. An alternative to mascara is a thick eyebrow gel, apply it to the brush and lightly walk over the eyelashes.

For the first time, curling should be done slowly. Do not start the procedure if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, your hand may accidentally slip, damaging your skin and tearing out your eyelashes.
The procedure is carried out strictly before using mascara. The recommendation is also relevant for plastic curling irons that allow you to curl colored hair. After applying cosmetics, eyelashes become fragile.
Before using the tongs, spray them with boiling water or hot air from a hair dryer.
Make sure that the rubber bands are always in good condition and check the tongs for defects. If they do not work correctly, you risk cutting hairs at the root.
Ladies who use the device daily are recommended to take a break once a month. The duration varies from 5 to 10 days depending on the condition of the eyelashes.
Apply eyelash therapy every 4-5 days. Lubricate them with olive, castor, sea buckthorn or corn oil. Apply the composition to your hair and go to bed.
Regardless of length, eyelashes always curl in three stages: at the base, in the middle, at the tips. Avoid prolonged squeezing; squeeze the hemispheres for no more than 5 seconds. Otherwise, the bend will not be smooth, but angular, like a Barbie doll.
To consolidate the result, always apply only thick mascara. It is advisable to give preference to two-color cosmetics consisting of a black and white base. White visually lengthens hairs, black adds volume. You can also use cosmetics designed to maintain your curve.
To get fanned eyelashes, learn a new technology. Curl the outer edge of the hairs slightly to the side, positioning the curling iron accordingly. Grab the middle and inner parts at once, holding the device in its normal straight position.
Carry out the procedure in a well-lit room. This could be sunlight or bright daylight lamps.
Only curl dry eyelashes. If you have recently gotten out of the shower, blot your eyes with a cosmetic swab and wait 15 minutes until the moisture from the hair structure has completely evaporated.
Do not use curlers on false eyelashes. The technology does not require a stable adhesive base, as a result of which you can tear off the tape or tear out bundles. The same applies to eyelash extensions. In this case, if an artificial hair comes off, it will take the natural one with it.
To comb curled eyelashes, use a special brush with natural bristles. It can be used even on hairs covered with mascara.

Have you decided to try eyelash curling technology? First, select a quality tool and carefully examine the condition of the silicone gaskets. Do not start the procedure 10 minutes before leaving the house, so as not to accidentally injure the skin of the eyelids and hairs. If you decide to use the device daily, try to take breaks once a month. Curl only dry eyelashes, use mascara strictly after curling.

Curler: principle of operation and varieties

Our grandmothers and mothers had to go to different, sometimes downright frightening, tricks to give their eyelashes the desired shape. They were bent on the edge of a heated tablespoon, on the blade of a knife, even on one’s own fingers, which was both inconvenient and not always effective.

We are luckier in this regard. Today, every woman can choose a comfortable curler (special eyelash curler) and at any moment acquire beautifully curved, upward-pointing “fans” that nature stingy to provide her with.

What tricks women had to go to!

But to get all this, you first need:

choose a suitable curler model;
make sure that the purchased device is of proper quality;
learn to use it correctly.

Let us immediately note that today we will talk about tweezers for natural eyelashes. Extensions curl a little differently.

Classic metal tweezers

The most common, traditional curler model looks a little intimidating, but is easy to use. The eyelashes are clamped between two working surfaces and the handles of the tweezers are brought together like the handles of scissors, creating the desired “crease”.

Pros:

metal curler has a long service life;
has good pressing force;
it is easy to learn to use.

Minuses:

if you get a low-quality accessory, there is a risk of damaging or even “biting” your hairs;
If you act in a hurry, you may catch and injure the skin of your eyelid.

Metal tongs appeared a long time ago and managed to become classics

Plastic curler

The principle of operation of this device does not differ from the classic version, the whole difference lies in the material.

Pros:

small dimensions, compactness and light weight make the curler an ideal option for travel;
The device looks less intimidating, which means a lot for beginners.

Minuses:

plastic breaks down faster;
The tongs have medium pressure force. If you want to get a sharp curve or are the owner of hard, unruly eyelashes, you will have to try very hard.

Plastic is not popular due to its fragility and weak effect.

What to look for when choosing a mechanical curler:

The presence of rubber or silicone gaskets on the working surface. They will soften the impact on the eyelashes and prevent the metal from being too rough on the hairs. It is better if the gaskets are removable: this way you can easily replace them as they wear out.
Ergonomics. Your fingers should fit freely into the rings of classic tweezers, and the plastic curler should fit comfortably in your hand.
Smooth movement. Jerks are not allowed here.
Working surface size. The ideal option is the curler on whose pad you can place all the eyelashes at once.
For eyes with drooping eyelids, there are special models that allow you to press the tweezers as close to the skin as possible without touching it.

Some pliers are equipped with a spring. On the one hand, this allows you to control the degree of pressure and not squeeze the eyelashes. On the other hand, it increases the likelihood of the tweezers breaking: the more parts there are in the device, the higher the chance that it will quickly fail.

Thermal model

The curling iron has the shape of a stick or brush, and eyelash curling occurs under the influence of high temperature.

Pros:

ease of use;
more pronounced and lasting results;
unlike previous models, it often allows you to curl already painted eyelashes and even helps the mascara to be distributed more evenly over the surface of the hairs.

Cons: the curler has all the disadvantages of a curling iron - if used excessively, it dries out, thins the hair and disrupts its structure.

What to look for when purchasing:

Power, which determines the degree of heating.
Does the device require replaceable batteries or a network connection?

You shouldn’t skimp on tweezers, but there’s no point in spending fabulous sums either. Look for tweezers in the mid-price category; this is where you find a good combination of price and quality.

How to use eyelash curler: instructions

The main rule that owners of mechanical tweezers must follow is: only clean, makeup-free and well-dried eyelashes can be curled. It is advisable to comb them carefully with a washed brush from old mascara.

Mechanical tweezers:

Pass the eyelashes between the “sponges” of the curler.
Gently and gently press them with tweezers several times.
Moving from the base to the tips of the hairs, periodically repeat the procedure along the entire length of the eyelashes.
Fix the result with mascara.

If you heat the tweezers under a stream of hot air from a hairdryer, a thermal effect will be added to the mechanical effect.

How to use heated tweezers? Read the instructions. Different models have their own subtleties in handling, which determine the time and method of their use.

Important! Do not forget to maintain hygiene by carefully wiping the curler every time with any disinfectant liquid such as chlorhexidine, alcohol solution or peroxide. This will protect your eyes and eyelids from infection.

Makeup artists do not recommend using a curler - mechanical or electric - every day. Save it for special occasions and holiday makeup looks.

Strengthen your eyelashes with castor oil to minimize damage from curling

Eyelash curling is a procedure that makes eyelashes visually longer and more graceful. By increasing their curve, the eyes can be made more beautiful and expressive. Salon procedures (bio-perm, chemical, keratin and permanent) allow you to get a curling effect that lasts up to 3 months. After such expensive sessions, treated hairs require additional care. At home, you can curl your eyelashes using thermal and mechanical action. If performed correctly, no side effects are observed after such procedures.

Products used for curling hair at home are harmless. The disadvantage of the procedures is that the eyelashes are not resistant to wet weather. The advantage is financial profitability: such processing does not require large financial investments.

There is no information on the negative effects of procedures on eyelashes.

Some ingredients (aloe vera, castor oil) nourish hairs, prevent hair loss and the formation of hair creases.

How to curl eyelashes at home without tweezers? To do this you need:

Before applying makeup, lift the eyelashes with warm fingers and make the necessary bend. Hold the villi for at least 40 seconds, then begin painting them.
Apply a little Vaseline to your fingers and warm the product with your hands. Lightly compress the fibers and give the desired bend. Keep the eyelashes in this position for at least 30 minutes.
Use electric tongs. You need to plug in the device and wait for the indicator to respond. Use a curling iron to move it through the hairs several times in the same sequence as when coloring with mascara.
Give a bend with a heated toothbrush.
Use curling mascara with a curved brush.

Features of using an eyelash curler

Knowing the twisting technique is not enough to achieve the desired effect. Before using an eyelash curler, it is also useful to learn about some of the intricacies of the procedure. While there are no specific instructions on how often to replace your tabs, it's best not to wait too long to replace them. Because imperceptible dirt gradually accumulates on them.

First of all, the curler is used exclusively on clean eyelashes. That is, they should not be painted. When mascara is applied to the hairs, it makes them harsh. If you try to curl them after dyeing, they will probably be injured. Fallout is also possible.

Even if you don’t have a thermal curler at hand, there is one little trick on how to curl your eyelashes with a curling iron at home with maximum efficiency. To do this, the plates should be immersed in hot water for a few seconds before use. This will help further ensure the hygiene of the procedure. True, you should not abuse this method, since the thermal effect harms the hairs.

Directly during the procedure, sudden movements are not allowed. Before using the curler, it is worth testing the mechanism in idle mode in order to smoothly regulate the pressure. It is important to proceed carefully and slowly. In this case, even daily twisting will not cause any harm.

Note! Naturally, it is unacceptable to use a curler if the metal structure is deformed or damaged. It is also not recommended to buy a tool at a temptingly low cost.

How to curl your eyelashes safely at home

Curling eyelashes is a safe procedure that does not damage the hairs or have a negative effect on them.

During curling you need to take precautions:

hands must be clean. Do not touch the eyeball with your fingers to avoid introducing an infection into the eyes;
Do not use hot air when using a hairdryer. This will lead to hair loss and breakage.

The villi will be more voluminous if you place the mascara in a glass of warm water before applying makeup. The effect of voluminous mascara and powdering the eyelashes on the eve of makeup will be enhanced.

If you have the necessary skills, you can carry out the procedure of bio- or chemical perm at home. For beginners, you can use ready-made video tutorials that are posted on the Internet.

Using a spoon

A teaspoon, slightly larger in size than your eyes, is suitable for the procedure. There should be no sharp edges on the device. The method is based on the effectiveness of thermal effects on human hair. After heat treatment, the hairs become more manageable and their stiffness is removed. You need to curl your eyelashes in the following order:

To prevent sticking, apply talc or baby powder to the hairs;
the instrument is heated in hot water to a comfortable temperature, the remaining moisture is wiped off;
apply the cutlery to the eyelid, the inside of the spoon should look outward;
Press the fibers with your fingers to the metal part of the spoon. Hold in this position for 30-40 seconds;
curl the eyelash rows on the upper and lower eyelids in both eyes;
color eyelashes with mascara;
comb the villi without making excessive efforts, so as not to spoil the curl.

Short-term thermal exposure does not harm eyelashes. If the required effect is absent, its re-use is allowed.

Cotton swab

For the procedure you need a cotton swab and mascara.

Step-by-step description of actions:

before the curling procedure, eyelashes need to be painted;
Next, you should lift the villi up with a cotton swab and hold them until the desired curling effect is obtained;
To consolidate the result, you need to use a hairdryer. The air should be warm, but not hot. During operation, keep the device at a distance of 15 cm from your face;
Perm eyelashes on the upper and lower eyelids in both eyes.

The last point is not necessary if the desired effect is achieved already at the stage of working with a cotton swab.

Aloe gel

Aloe is a herbal remedy that will protect eyelashes from fragility and loss. The treatment can be done for preventive purposes to give eyelashes a healthy shine and thickness. The method is not suitable for girls who are allergic to the plant. Before curling, an individual sensitivity test is carried out: a drop of aloe juice is applied to the elbow, and the reaction is observed for 2 hours. If there is no reaction, the product can be safely used.

Step-by-step instructions for curling eyelashes without tweezers:

break a sprig of aloe vera, squeeze out the juice, heat it in your hands by rubbing;
Apply a small amount of product to your index finger and thumb;
pinch your eyelashes with your fingers and give them the desired curl;
Remaining liquid should be removed with a cotton pad;
wait 30-40 seconds;
if there is no effect, repeat the previous action;
color eyelashes.

Mascara with a 3D effect will help to visually increase the volume of hairs after curling. This method is suitable for the upper and lower eyelids.

The bending effect looks beneficial in combination with lamination. At home, the villi are laminated with gelatin. The product makes eyelashes stronger and softens the effects of aggressive environmental factors. The disadvantage of the procedure is that the achieved effect is not visible for long. Lamination done at home saves money and is absolutely safe.

To perform lamination, you need to make the mixture according to the recipe: mix gelatin (15 g) with warm water (50 ml) in a glass container. The eyelids are first degreased and covered with silicone pads, which can be replaced with cotton swabs. The prepared product is applied with a brush, and after 15 minutes it is washed off with warm water.

The duration of the lamination and bending results depends on weather factors and the choice of cosmetics used. The less cosmetic products affect the hairs, the longer the achieved effect will last.

What products and methods will harm your hair?

When caring for eyelashes, you need to choose products that are hypoallergenic in composition. To curl your eyelashes without harming them, you need to follow the rules:

do not use hot air for drying;
do not twist the false fibers using the specified means;
To avoid damaging the eyelashes, do not use forceps unless you have the necessary skills. Use the accessory after applying makeup;
Avoid rough influence on the hairs: do not press, do not bend the eyelashes. This will lead to creases and their loss;
Makeup experts do not recommend using curling irons after procedures using chemicals and extensions.

Castor oil, burdock and almond oil are suitable for care. These drugs can be bought at the pharmacy. Warm it up a little with your hands before use. The products can be used to remove curls and make the hairs straight.

Curling eyelashes at home makes your look more open, sexy, and expressive. To keep your eyelashes healthy and thick, you need to follow the rules of personal hygiene, use high-quality cosmetics, and periodically apply vitamin and oil masks to your hair. When choosing a makeup product, study the properties and brand of mascara, its expiration date.

A charming and alluring look is an entire art, but its framing plays the main role in the process of enchantment. Not all women are blessed by nature with thick and long eyelashes with an exciting curve. Modern cosmetic procedures help correct this deficiency.

How to use tweezers?

Girls who have never dealt with eyelash curlers have no idea how to use them. But it is not difficult, and after a couple of uses you can perform the actions efficiently and easily. Also, there are various video and photo tutorials .

You need to curl your eyelashes when you have time, don’t rush. Especially if it's the first time. Do this carefully, in a calm environment, carefully so as not to damage the eyelashes.
Use a curler before applying mascara, as painted eyelashes are inflexible, fragile, and can be damaged when curling. Also, the applied mascara crumbles and may become crumpled.
Curl dry and clean eyelashes, as wet eyelashes do not curl well and quickly return to their normal state.
Before curling, hold the curling iron under hot air from a hair dryer or under hot water for several seconds, then wipe dry.
Comb your eyelashes with a special brush, then place the open curler so that the eyelashes are between the arches. Then gently press the eyelashes at the base, without catching the eyelid. Hold in this position for a few seconds and carefully open it, moving it towards the ends and forming the desired bend.
You can fix it with mascara. Clean the tweezers after each use.

Types of eyelash curling

The described manipulation eliminates the need for daily curling of hairs or with a brush. Properly performed biochemical eyelash curling will ensure that the curl is maintained for a long time; in addition, it will visually give them volume and thickness, and create a doll-like look. Some women even stop using mascara and refuse extensions thanks to the presented procedure.

Eyelash perm is classified into several types according to the degree and area of hair curling:

Basal.
The bend is made only at the base of the eyelashes, which gives them volume.
"On a curl."
The ends of the hair are curled. Visually, even short eyelashes appear longer and thicker. This method can hide the defect of drooping eyelid.
Combined.
Parallel curling of both roots and ends. The look becomes open and alluring, doll-like.

Curling eyelashes of different lengths

Curling eyelashes of different lengths differs slightly in the scheme of the procedure itself . For the owner of long eyelashes, you need to make three clips from the roots to the tips. Maintain 15 seconds each time.

Girls with too short eyelashes will not be able to do the procedure along the entire length. For such eyelashes, you should make three clamps at the very roots, but do not overdo it. The number of clamps and their strength can only be determined with experience. Practice and you will find the optimal curling pattern for yourself.

Eyelash perm - contraindications

Some women will have to permanently abandon the procedure in question, in other cases it will simply be postponed to another time. Perming eyelashes is absolutely contraindicated in case of allergic reactions to any components of the drugs used. It should also not be done for those with overly sensitive skin prone to irritation.

visiting a sauna, swimming pool or solarium 2 days or earlier;
premenstrual syndrome and the first days of the menstrual cycle;
acute eye diseases.

Eyelash curling in the salon

The principle and procedure of the master is almost identical to the hair procedure of the same name. Only other tools and a more gentle chemical composition are used. The eyelash curler does not affect the strength of the hairs or the speed of their growth. It does not have any negative effects on the skin of the eyelids. The drug even cares for eyelashes, giving them shine and silkiness.

What do you need to curl your eyelashes?

Twisting is carried out with special tools. A standard salon eyelash perm kit includes:

disposable rollers;
forceps;
cotton pads;
wooden sticks or toothpicks;
thin brushes;
makeup remover;
degreaser;

neutralizer;
soothing moisturizer.

The manipulation is completely painless and safe if performed correctly. It takes about 40-50 minutes. Permanent eyelash curling takes place in several stages:

Makeup remover
The specialist removes makeup from the eyes and degreases hair and skin. Moist cotton pads are placed under the lower eyelids to protect the sensitive epidermis.
Eyelash perm.
The hairs are pressed against special rollers. Curlers are selected depending on the initial length and thickness of the eyelashes and the desired effect. The permanent is carefully applied strictly in the direction of growth. If the hairs stick together, the master separates them with a wooden stick. When winding “on a curl”, special forceps can be used.
Maintaining the composition.
In accordance with the instructions for the permanent product, the eyelashes remain on the rollers for the allotted time.
Fixation.
When the curling ends, the chemical composition is washed off, but the rollers remain. A fixative is applied to the hairs to fix the resulting bend.
Neutralization.
At the end of the manipulation, the curlers are removed, and the remaining chemicals are washed off with a special cleaning solution.
Prevention of irritation.
A moisturizer is applied to the skin of the eyelids.

If you have very straight eyelashes that don’t even hold a curl with a curler, we suggest applying waterproof mascara after curling. As a rule, it is more liquid, which is why eyelashes do not fall under the weight of a thick formula. Plus, it sets almost immediately, so your eyelashes remember the shape you gave them until you wash off the mascara. It’s very convenient, but, of course, it’s very difficult to wash it off. To do this, we recommend using special eye makeup removers or hydrophilic oils and balms.

Eyelash perm - pros and cons

In addition to the obvious advantages, any cosmetic manipulation also has significant disadvantages. The main advantage of the procedure discussed is how long eyelash perm lasts.

To create a charming, intriguing image, a bewitching look with a flirtatious flutter of fluffy eyelashes, you need to have not only external and internal charm, but also smoothly curved eyelashes.

Thanks to innovative technologies, modern beauties can conquer the male mind by creating a delightful image with the help of charming luxurious eyelashes. Amazingly curled eyelashes are every woman’s dream, so you need to put in a lot of effort to look great.

Unfortunately, not everyone has such eyelashes, so beauty industry manufacturers have developed two ways to transform them: perm and extensions.

Permanent perm is well suited for those who have sufficiently large natural eyelashes.
If you only need an elegant eyelash curl for one evening, then it is better to resort to professional eyelash curlers.

Long-term eyelash curling

Owners of long eyelashes often complain that they are absolutely straight, so the look is lost in the trail of eyelashes. The simplest and most reliable way to give eyelashes a curved shape for a long time is an eyelash perm, which is suitable even for short and straight hairs. You can visually lengthen your eyelashes by curling and lifting them.

The unique newest technique is absolutely painless. This procedure will give your eyelashes the desired length and delicate curl.

Chemical eyelash curling can be:

Basal. Visually increases volume and gives an elegant curl to eyelashes.
Combined. The look is guaranteed to be graceful and coquetry, and the eyelashes will have a charming curve. The hairs are clearly positioned on a special roller, which allows you to curl each hair individually.

When curling, you can apply mascara, use lenses and glasses, swim in the pool or sea. The main thing is to provide your eyelashes with restorative care by lubricating them overnight or at least for a couple of hours with nourishing vitamin oils, preheated.

Eyelash curling is completely safe if done professionally and if you follow simple rules. The curl of the eyelashes created by this procedure will not be affected by makeup or eyelash removers.

If there are visible flaws in the eyes, this can be easily corrected by curling the eyelashes. The shape of the eyes can also be successfully corrected using this procedure. A specialist can competently select the best option that will hide imperfections.

Even on a short length, a perm will add length and fullness, and can also effectively correct drooping eyelids on a visual level.

Contraindications:

sensitive skin;
possible allergic reactions;

Eyelash curling is not performed if a few days before you were in a sauna, solarium or swimming pool. You should also not visit them for 2-3 days after the procedure.

Its disadvantage is that after a few weeks, against the background of the bending of the eyelashes, their own straight hairs begin to grow. It is not recommended to curl them constantly; the eyelashes should rest for some time and be given the opportunity to grow without chemical exposure.

Although manufacturers produce cosmetic compositions for permanent hair, the eyelid is a sensitive area, so you need to keep in mind that it is not advisable to perm those suffering from an overdeveloped thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).

Perm procedure in the salon

When performing the procedure, cosmetologists use:

neutralizing gel that prevents hair fragility;
curling curlers in the form of a self-adhesive roller;
fixing solution.

For curling, a specialist will need a specific solution and flexible miniature curlers on which the eyelashes are carefully placed.

The rollers have a self-adhesive surface that lasts the entire session, fixed to the eyelid. The rollers are glued at the very base of the hairs, then very carefully glued onto them with an orange stick.
Thick rollers are suitable for long eyelashes, creating a soft curl. For very short eyelashes, thin curlers are great.
A specialist with extensive experience will easily distribute the hairs evenly on the roller. If they stick to each other, they will have to be peeled off and redistributed, which can be inconvenient.
The cosmetologist coats the hairs wound on rollers with a specific composition that will secure them in the desired position, which allows them to maintain the required bend for a long time.
After washing off the composition, the specialist applies a fixing agent, after which the rollers are removed.

A more gentle solution can be used if the effect of a beautiful bend is planned to be demonstrated for a short time. After this procedure, the natural shine of your eyelashes and a captivating look are guaranteed.

After curling, you need to protect your eyelashes from makeup and water for a day.

The whole process lasts about 50 minutes, and you get a charming curl that will highlight your beauty.

During curling, only high-quality products are used that protect the structure of the eyelashes. After it, you can use glasses and lenses; the substance is applied exactly to the middle of the hair, so the drugs do not come into contact with the eyes and skin.

After curling, the eyelashes become somewhat lighter; this can be corrected by tinting them with mascara or dye in the salon several days after the curling procedure.

Although stores sell special kits for self-perms at home, it is still better to contact a qualified cosmetologist for perms, as there are many risks. When curling yourself, it is very difficult to curl your eyelashes perfectly with your eyes closed.

Curling time

After curling, you no longer have to constantly curl your eyelashes with mascara; you can admire the elegant curve for up to two months. Since new hairs will grow in 90 days, correction is recommended after 2-3 months.

Gentle correction differs from perm in that the bend of regrown hairs is corrected; the fixing agent is applied for 2-3 minutes.

Care

Particularly complex care after the procedure is not required, however, to restore the hairs, it is recommended to apply oil to them every day - burdock, castor or almond. It is aged for a couple of hours, after which it is removed with a napkin.

Correct in time

Artificial eyelashes last about a month on average. After this, the procedure can be repeated, but if you contact a specialist in a timely manner, adjustments will be enough. It's cheaper than new extensions. Pay attention to the condition of your eyelashes: if you notice that they have thinned significantly, it’s time to go to the salon.

Curling iron, home eyelash curler

Women can use simple tweezers, small curling irons, and cosmetic mascara.

A hot curling iron is quite scary to use on your eyes, and high temperatures are harmful to your hair.
Even mascara is not as harmless as it seems, it contains substances that tighten the eyelashes with a film and dry them out, causing the hairs to fall out or become brittle, and the curling effect is not so strong.

Of the many curling products, many choose more gentle products - eyelash curlers. They are a unique way to give your eyelashes an exciting curl. Despite the short-term effect, this type of eyelash curling done at home remained popular for a long time.
