To give a languid look, girls choose a fox effect - lengthening the outer edge. The method is suitable for long, almond-shaped eyes. This technique is contraindicated for girls with drooping eyelids or narrow eyes.
The fox combines perfectly with Hollywood, making the look brighter and sexier. The chic velvety volume of coal-black eyelashes in tandem with the smoothness of the lines attracts attention. In everyday wear, the effect looks inappropriate; it is better to do extensions for a holiday.
A lashmaker performing Hollywood extensions must have perfect command of the technique. Synthetic hairs should be weightless, volume will be created due to quantity.

Thanks to her, the eyelashes get an unusual bend, giving originality to the girl’s look. This effect is obtained by attaching a bundle of 7 eyelashes to one of your own. The material for such extensions is taken from an ultra-thin structure, which allows it not to weigh down the eyelid. This structure does not cause any damage to your own eyelashes. Extensions performed by a good specialist do not cause inconvenience or discomfort to the client. This is a guaranteed feeling of attractiveness.
Features of eyelash extensions “Hollywood volume”
The effect of Hollywood volume eyelash extensions is impressive. On the front pages of fashion magazines they post photos of movie stars wearing this kind of makeup. The method is used when preparing for a photo shoot or an important event.
This technique is actively used by Hollywood stars to give their look additional languor and sensuality. The method owes its sounding name to the “celestials” from Hollywood, who began making voluminous eyelashes back in the 30s of the 20th century in order to enhance the imagery of acting. After success with film celebrities, the technique began to be offered to fashionistas.
Bundle extensions can be successfully used on eyelashes of any texture. The technological process consists of gluing several artificial hairs, collected in the form of a bundle, onto one “native” one. A bundle can consist of 7 hairs. To make the result more natural, take bundles consisting of 2-3 unnatural short eyelashes.
To achieve the now famous Hollywood volume, they use 2D and 3D technologies, which differ in the number of glued hairs - 2 or 3. Classic Hollywood extensions involve achieving double volume, but in some cases, visitors to beauty salons want to achieve 4D, 5D, and sometimes 6D magnification, which is achieved by using different numbers of artificial hairs glued to one natural eyelash. Accordingly, with 4 times the volume, 4 pieces will be glued, with 5D - 5, with 6D - 6.
What do 7D eyelash extensions help hide? Important information
Volume eyelash extensions 7D are not intended for everyday and long-term wear. But at social events the girl will look great. The result of a portfolio photo shoot will be more impressive if the girl’s eyes are decorated with thick eyelashes.
When building up 7D, it is possible to hide such shortcomings as:
- small eyes;
- deep-set eyes;
- drooping eyelid.
Many Hollywood stars use this technique to add fullness to their eyelashes to look great on screen during social events. If earlier it was quite an expensive pleasure, now this procedure is available to all women and girls who take care of their appearance and modern technologies.
What should you discuss with a specialist?
Before starting the procedure, it is worth discussing the following points with a specialist:
- Tone of artificial eyelashes. The best option is a classic of black or dark brown eyelashes. For extravagance, you can add a few colored eyelashes.
- The length depends on the client's vision and goal. Artificial surroundings are used from 6 to 18 mm. But the most popular hairs are up to 12 mm. The naturalness of eyelash extensions is maintained until approximately this length.
- The density parameters are determined by the name of the 7D procedure, i.e. a bundle of 7 artificial hairs is glued onto one of your eyelashes.
- A special glue is used that is safe for volumetric 7D eyelash extensions.
Types of eyelash material
Hollywood Lashes clients should take into account the characteristics of the eyelash fibers, as they affect the visual effect of the extension (natural or extremely bright) and are appropriate in different situations.
Artificial eyelashes differ in 3 indicators:
- length;
- type of material, hair thickness;
- colors.
The length of the shortest eyelashes does not exceed 6-10 mm. The extensions look natural and increase the thickness of your own eyelashes. Short Hollywood Lashes are suitable for a casual look.
Fibers 12-15 mm long are used in festive images. Long, curved eyelashes require glamorous additions: bright makeup, jewelry and formal hair styling.
Eyelashes 20 mm long are a bright decoration for stage performances, photo shoots and video clips. Extremely long hair is combined with colored fibers, feathers and glitter.
Hollywood eyelash extensions look natural and attractive when thin and soft hair is used. Eyelashes for Hollywood Lashes are made of synthetic monofilament and are approximately 0.07 mm thick. The material is light, durable and resistant to deformation; eyelash extensions retain their original color.
Fiber name | thickness, mm | hair characteristics | Features of eyelash extensions | For what situation is it suitable? |
sable | from 0.2 | dense thick hair | eyelashes are bright and voluminous, but heavy | evening looks |
Mink | 0,1-0,2 | hair looks similar to human eyelashes | natural or bright appearance. The result of the extension depends on the chosen thickness |
|
Silk | 0,15-0,2 | hair is light like mink, but brighter and shiny | eyelash extensions are thin and intensely colored | Bright fibers are optimal for evening makeup |
Columns | up to 0.1 | the thinnest and softest material | eyelashes look natural; | extensions are suitable for everyday life and special occasions |
The Hollywood Lashes palette includes fibers in natural and unusual shades, as well as materials with tonal transitions.
When choosing colors, take into account the desired degree of brightness of the image:
- black eyelashes are a classic option, an alternative to makeup with mascara or permanent dye. Extensions look appropriate both on weekdays and on holidays;
- light and dark brown eyelashes are designed for blondes, brown-haired and fair-haired women. The shade of the material is selected according to the tone of your own hair. Light extensions will fit into natural daytime makeup;
- Ombre eyelashes are black at the base and bright at the ends. Extensions create the illusion of color tints, making the look deep and mysterious. The idea is appropriate for evening makeup;
- colored eyelashes. Red, blue, and yellow fibers are used in creative stage makeup and photo shoots.
Forms of extension and their description
There are an incredible variety of different techniques and types of eyelash extensions. Photos before and after the procedure eloquently testify to the irresistibility of the girl after it.
Experts have come up with beautiful names for various forms of eyelash extensions:
- "Fox". This technique uses eyelashes of different lengths. Short hairs are attached to the inner corner of the eye, and long cilia are attached to the outer corner. This technology imitates arrows and visually enlarges the eyes. The look is like that of a fox - cunning and narrowed. Playful coquettes and girls with close-set eyes like this look.
- "Squirrel". The hairs are glued only to the outer corner. The resulting look is very similar to that of a fox. Longer curled tips add playfulness, fun and mischief. As a result, seductive tassels are formed that look charming on young girls.
- "Doll." This is the largest application of long eyelashes throughout the entire eyelid. The eyes visually become larger and look like a doll's.
- “Natural” is used for daily wear. No one will know that the eyelash material is artificial. The length and color of the hairs are basically the same as natural ones, and the wonderful look is completely natural.
- "Sparse." Hairs of different lengths alternate.
- “Multicolor” is the choice of creative models and show business representatives. In everyday life, tones are chosen to match the color of the eyes; a harmonious vision of the image is an excellent use of color. Without this skill, the eyes will have a tired look and look inflamed.
How to mark up correctly?
There is simply no single size of artificial hair that would suit everyone. Therefore, the diagram for eyelash extensions will make it easy to determine in which area what lengths to use. Marking the eyelash row into sectors is quite simple, but you need to practice. To do this, you can ask your friends and family to act as models. With experience, you will learn to create individual plans for each client.
The markup can be done as follows:
- Ask the client to take the starting position lying on her back with her eyes closed. It is necessary to cover the lower eyelashes with gel patches or pads, placing them under the upper eyelashes.
- Then, using a bright felt-tip pen, draw lines in the corners that will extend in the direction of eyelash growth in the outer and inner corners of the eye. It is advisable to draw the lines a little longer than the natural and intended artificial hairs so that the lines are clearly visible.
- Next, you need to determine the central point of the eyelash edge and draw a straight line from it, thereby dividing the eyelash fabric in half into the inner and outer parts.
- The inner part must be divided into three sectors, the outer part into 4. The lines should go in the direction of the eyelashes. Closer to the edge of the eye, the sectors should be narrower, and towards the middle - wider.
- Next, the sectors must be numbered in accordance with the expected length of artificial eyelashes. The first and last sectors should correspond to the length of the client’s natural eyelashes, and closer to the middle, the length of the hairs can be increased gradually - by no more than 1 mm. Depending on the selected effect, the maximum length will be located in one or another sector of the outer part of the eyelash fabric.
Advice from professionals
After viewing photographs that reflect the amazing expressiveness of the look, I urgently want to try on this image. The first piece of advice from a professional is to find a very good specialist - a virtuoso, since this technique requires great concentration and accuracy in forming a tuft of hairs. Proper gluing should last at least 3 weeks. Some masters use ready-made bundles. But with this extension technology, there is no need to resort to the 7D procedure, since the eyelashes may be larger than the required thickness of the mass. Good hairdressers form buns individually for each girl, which is fully justified when viewing the result.
In each specific case, the specialist assesses the condition of natural hairs in his own way. Based on their parameters, he selects the material that is most advantageous according to all criteria. A good professional can even determine the material that was used from a photo.
Advantages and disadvantages of technology
Having understood what Hollywood eyelash extensions are, we should discuss the main advantages and disadvantages of this technology.
How long does it take to extend eyelashes?
The advantages usually include:
- getting amazing volume of eyelashes;
- enhancing the expressiveness of the gaze;
- less time required compared to eyelash extensions;
- getting an immediate effect;
- long-term results (up to 2 weeks);
- convenience.
Interesting. To further enhance the expressiveness, craftsmen use black glue. It creates the effect of the presence of eyeliner on the eyes. But a specialist must have a very steady hand, because any inaccuracy and the slightest error will immediately catch the eye.
The disadvantages of this extension method include the weight of the beams. It is relatively large, as a result, Hollywood eyelashes do not last for too long a period of time. In addition, the Hollywood technique is not suitable for the fair sex, who naturally have weak eyelashes.
The thickness of Hollywood eyelash extensions depends on the client’s wishes.
For permanent use, beam extensions are not recommended. Experts recommend taking at least a two-week break after each procedure. For those who cannot imagine themselves without glued eyelashes, this technique should be reserved for special occasions, and for everyday life, turn to more gentle extension methods.
Base for eyelash extensions and care
As with any other extension technique, 7D eyelashes require proper care at home. To properly care for artificial hairs at home, you need to know what material artificial eyelashes are made from. After all, it depends on what cannot be done with them, and what will have a beneficial effect on them.
Salons have a variety of materials in their assortment. The cost of extensions and the lifespan of eyelashes depend on the type. The method of caring for your hair for three months will depend on the material.
Technology for creating Hollywood volume
The master's procedure is clear to every person. The main success factor for quality building is experience. Tools and materials required for the extension procedure:
- degreasing liquid;
- artificial eyelashes;
- tweezers;
- glue solution;
- gel mixture;
- cotton swabs;
- collagen eye pads.
Having previously prepared everything you need, you can begin the extension procedure.
- All makeup should be removed from the face and the eyelashes should be treated with a degreasing compound.
- To avoid gluing, silicone pads must be placed on the bottom row or the cilia must be pressed using a special adhesive tape. Then the glue will not get on the lower hairs, and the eye will open easily after the process is completed.
- The lash maker, using tweezers, covers the required surface with a layer of glue. Then it grabs each strand individually and applies it to one natural eyelash. In order for the glue to harden, the glued artificial tuft is pressed against one eyelash and left in this position for several seconds. The extension begins by moving from the outside of the eye to the inside.
- Having completed the procedure, the resulting strands are combed and covered with a protective gel. Combing is necessary to determine the presence of bald spots. If they are detected, the master makes adjustments.
The average time spent on a session is two to three hours. The process is labor-intensive and requires caution.
Artificial elements are glued in stages. After gluing each element, the evenness of its attachment is checked and the general appearance of the eyelashes is assessed.
What types of eyelashes are there?
The basis for extension is as follows:
- Artificial: cheap and low quality, maintenance is difficult and can cause some problems, since the material is sensitive to weather conditions, the temperature in the bathhouse or solarium. Cosmetics and even water can negatively affect synthetics.
- Silk: improved quality, but using mascara is very difficult, oil drips and the look, of course, is unpresentable.
- Made from sable or mink wool: one of the best compositions for eyelash extensions. They have a high price and excellent quality. Caring for them is quite simple and pleasant.
Immediately after extensions, try to use the advice given by professional cosmetologists and makeup artists who provide such services. If you don't take care of your eyelashes, they will fall out and become dull.
Rules for caring for eyelash extensions at home
Basic rules of care include:
- Eyelash extensions should not be wet for 3 hours after the procedure. The glue may become soft, as a result, the loss of magnificent beauty in the near future is guaranteed.
- Under no circumstances should you rub your eyes with your hands or a handkerchief.
- You also cannot touch the eyelashes, smooth them, or test them for strength. This can damage the lightweight structure of the structure, which will lead to loss.
- Sleeping on your stomach is canceled. Your face should not be in contact with the pillow. Eyelashes may break and fall out.
- A difficult question is how to paint eyelash extensions with mascara. You can, of course, paint, but you need to do it correctly. Although this procedure involves the abolition of everyday eyelash dye. Shadows and eyeliner are allowed, but their removal must be extremely careful. You must try not to hurt your delicate eyelashes. The shadows are washed off with a cotton pad and cleansing milk. The arrows need to be removed with cotton swabs.
- If you have serious problems with your facial skin that require the application of cream, you will have to be extremely careful. Fatty oils and creams imperceptibly destroy the glue, causing the eyelashes to fall out.
- It is necessary to exclude washing with hot water and aggressive gels and foams.
- Saunas and baths, hot baths are contraindicated for three days after extensions. Visits to them in the future should be limited to once every two weeks. Hot steam also negatively affects the condition of eyelashes.
Rules of care
Having agreed to such a pleasant procedure, do not forget about the accompanying care after extensions. Even natural eyelashes are prone to falling out, let alone “Hollywood” ones. Therefore, in order to preserve new eyelashes for a long time, it is important to follow a few simple rules:
- Minimize eye touching, including scratching;
- remove greasy makeup products - creams and lotions for the entire wear time. They react with the glue, which threatens the materials to peel off;
- choose a sleeping position, excluding touching the bed - lying on your side or back;
- limit the use of tongs and mascara;
- do not swim in water mixed with chlorine or salt;
- limit trips to the bathhouse.
Extend eyelashes yourself or go to a salon - it's up to you. Don’t forget – beauty needs to be maintained and given enough attention.
