Features and benefits
There is a huge variety of ways to give your eyelashes an elegant curl. Among them, the main and most common for home use are:
- The use of mascara with a twisting effect;
- The use of curling tongs;
- Thermal twist.
These options can be implemented not only at home, but also in beauty salons. All of the following methods are similar in their application and operation sequence, but, nevertheless, each of them has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
The most widespread way of bending eyelashes is mascara with a twisting effect. Unlike other means, it does not require any special training, does not take a lot of time and effort. Mascara should be chosen with a curved shape brush.It must be remembered that cosmetics is not something to save on. When choosing a carcass, pay attention to its cost. Without a really good product, quality eyelash curling will be impossible. The first layer of this makeup comes as a base. The second layer should be applied in the direction from the roots to the tips and slightly bend up the cilia, starting approximately from the middle. The effect of this method of curling rather short-term, but the least malicious and fastest of all.
Another tool for the mechanical twist of the eyelashes are special tweezers. Currently, they are made of special soft plastic, which negates any possibility of causing any damage to the eyelashes. This method is considered to be the safest of all, but, despite this, to obtain the desired effect without harm to the hairs, you should follow certain rules of operation of this tool:
- Before each use you need to check the health of the device;
- Disinfect the tweezers before curling;
- It is recommended to clamp several times along the length of the eyelashes;
- After the procedure, you should try to avoid moisture.
Another option to give the eyelashes the desired curvature is thermal curling. In order for it to be possible, it is necessary to purchase a special apparatus, in its type and principle of action resembling a curling iron. Eyelashes are exposed to temperature in a sparing mode, which allows to increase the duration of the result in comparison with forceps and mascara, but the effect does not last more than a day, and at high humidity may disappear even within half an hour. This method of curling should be addressed as rarely as possible, because due to heat treatment, the hairs become more rare, thin and brittle, which leads to their loss.
Ways

The procedure itself keratin curling goes like this:

Perm is one of the most popular ways to curl. The effect of it lasts more than one month. At present, if desired, this procedure can be carried out at home by purchasing a special set. Quite well-known among the manufacturers of such kits is the company Meisheng. The method of perm is twisting the eyelashes on the original curlers. The procedure is similar to the keratin perm:
- degreasing eyelashes;
- using glue to attach the roller to the eyelid;
- overlay eyelashes on the roller;
- application of chemical gel composition (not washed off within 25 minutes);
- after washing the gel overlay fixer.
The rollers are selected depending on the length of the eyelashes and the desired result. On average, this procedure lasts about fifty minutes. The main advantages of perm can be considered:

Biochemical waving for eyelashes is an analogue of perm. The difference lies in the components included in their composition. The bio is more benign. This method is often used by people who have had any allergic reactions to the chemical composition of the previous drug. Basically, the procedure takes less than an hour, but its duration depends on the state of natural hairs.
Silicone curlers, to curl their eyelashes on them, are attached to the upper eyelid. The bottom is protected by hydrogel linings. The eyelashes are covered with a softener and left for 10-15 minutes, after it is removed with cotton and a fixative is applied (fixer of twisting effect).

How to curl?
Women tend to twist or curl eyelashes in order to visually enlarge the eyes and make the look not sad (as from straight or lowered eyelashes), but open.
As already mentioned, the easiest way to curl eyelashes is to use mascara with a twist element. Due to its dense texture, it makes lashes heavier and makes it possible to change their shape. It is necessary to move in zigzag movements from the base to the tips of the eyelashes, which you curl and lift at the end. It is necessary to pay attention to the corners - they must also be painted over. Mascara is applied in two or three layers, after a clean brush lumps are removed.
The second option for the house - the use of tongs. First you need to moisten the eyelashes, then put between the forceps and squeeze. Hold it, counting to 15, unclench and moving above to repeat the procedure.
Another interesting option is the use of a hot spoon as a “curling” for eyelashes. It is used extremely rarely, because its main drawback is the inconsistency of the eyelashes obtained before the eyes. Thanks to this method, long eyelashes can be twisted more strongly, and only a little short ones can change shape. Twisting the spoon occurs in this order:
- Applying talcum powder to your eyelashes;
- Coloring them with mascara;
- Heat the spoon in the water and rub it dry;
- Starting from the corner of the eye, we press the hairs to the edge of the spoon and hold for about 10 seconds;
- Hold until you get the required bend;
- Movement is carried out only by the thumb. The spoon remains fixed.
All these procedures are easy to use, they do not take much time and effort, but the effects of them are not designed for a long time.
Perm eyelashes - a procedure that can be performed both in the cabin (preferably) and at home. The effect of it persists for a long time. To carry it out, you need to carefully read the instructions for use written on the package and follow these steps:
- pick up rollers suitable for you diameter;
- using glue to fix the rollers on the upper eyelid;
- wind hairs on them;
- apply gel on eyelashes and leave for a while;
- remove the gel and apply the fixative;
- apply oil on the eyelashes.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to accurately answer the question of how much the result is kept from a particular procedure. Everything depends not only on the composition of the preparations that you use, but also on the master, the initial state of the eyelashes, weather conditions and the desired effect.
