Dos and Donts of Eyelash Perming
Glamorous eyelashes that you see in the magazines are rarely the exact
eyelashes you will see when you personally meet the model. If you want
to know the secrets of having beautiful, dark and visible eyelashes, the
best option is to learn the basics of eyelash perming.
Eyelash perming is used for people who prefer to go outside without eye
make-ups. This procedure also offers men and women a more natural way of
making the eyelashes more visible and plumper. Active women can benefit
from eyelash perming because the curls of the eyelashes will not go away
even in extreme physical conditions. Men today are also using eyelash
perming to enhance appearance dramatically without an eye-catching
change.
Eyelash perming can take from thirty up to forty-five minutes. For about
$50 worth of perming products, the effects could last up to one or four
months (depending on the brand used). For men and women who wish to
darken their appearances, the perming product can be easily mixed with
mild vegetable dyes.
Basic Instructions for Eyelash Perming
Before using the perming kit, make sure to remove your contact lenses or
glasses and makeup by using oil-free removers. Allow the eye area to
completely dry for ten minutes or more. Dip ten cotton pads in lukewarm
water and squeeze excess water out.
Your eyelash perming kit should include a rod (in small, medium or large
size). A small rod is ideal for people with short eyelashes, or if you
desire a tighter eyelash curl. Medium rods are the most common because
it is an all-around curler. Large rods, on the other hand, are
appropriate for people with long eyelashes, or those who prefer loose
curls.
Majority of eyelash perming kits contain a setting lotion, a perming
lotion, a nourishing agent, an eye cleanser and the perming glue. The
most tricky part in perming your eyelashes is applying perming glue and
determining the consistency of each part. However, all steps in perming
eyelashes can be done in ten minutes or less. Make sure to wear
protective gloves and read the instructions before performing an eyelash
perm.
Most eyelash perming kits are recommended for professional use to
prevent possible accidents. It is best to have your eyelashes done from
a practiced technician to ensure correct application and guarantee
longer results. In cases where perming solution or glue gets into the
eyes, make sure flush it with water immediately.
