Curled fluffy eyelashes – The simplest and most effective way to open up your eyes, make them more expressive and give your image a well-groomed look. For this reason, girls use different methods to achieve curls. There are short-term and long-term eyelash curling options, and you can do it both at home and with a professional. We will tell you which methods will help achieve the desired effect and whether the procedure is always necessary.
Methods of curling eyelashes at home
You can create a beautiful curl at home using several methods:
- ink;
- curler;
- thermal styler.
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Mascara
This is the easiest and most affordable way to create a curl. Today there are products on sale with a specially shaped brush that lifts eyelashes. At the same time, mascara is applied to the hairs, which quickly hardens and fixes the curl.
Among the advantages of the method: the speed of achieving the desired effect, natural bending and rich color. But there is also a minus: mascara cannot achieve a pronounced curl and the result is short-lived. In the best case, it will last for several hours, and then only on the condition that you don’t have to change clothes, wash, or go outside in strong wind or rain.
Curler
The second method – use a curler. This is the name of a special mechanical eyelash curler. This method is more effective than the previous one, but it is the same and affordable. You can use the curler at least every day.
The essence of the procedure is to grab the eyelashes as close to the eyelid as possible (but do not lean the forceps against the skin), and then squeeze the handles to pinch the hairs. Gradually lifting the curler up, you need to move it along the entire length, pressing them at the same time to form an expressive bend of the eyelashes. After – You can apply mascara or fixative gel.
Tip: before using the tool, you should heat it with a hairdryer or under running hot water, then the effect will be more lasting.
Among the advantages of the method are the main ones – it's simplicity and versatility. But there are disadvantages: mechanical curling can lead to brittle eyelashes if the curling iron is of poor quality or is used incorrectly. In addition, the curl lasts a maximum of 1 day, but if you get caught in the rain or strong wind, the effect will disappear faster.
Thermostyler
Such devices appeared relatively recently and are a miniature semblance of a hair curling iron. Only use them for eyelashes. It is also connected to the electrical network (for heating).
Before you start forming a curl, the thermostyler needs to be plugged in so that it heats up. Then you need to work with it according to the principle of mechanical forceps – pinch the eyelashes at the roots and begin to form a curl with smooth upward movements.
Among the advantages: a miniature eyelash curler provides a good bend and good fixation, and provides a quick effect. The method is suitable for eyelashes of any length and stiffness. Cons: the effect lasts until it comes into contact with moisture, that is, it will not last more than 1 day.
In fact, all home methods are simple and accessible, and all of them are not capable of providing long-lasting results. In addition, regular use of a curler or heat styler can cause hair loss and breakage. To prevent problems, you definitely need to add eyelash care products to your daily bathroom routine.
