Silk vs Mink Lashes – Comparing The Ideals of Both Treatments

MINK LASHES

Despite their name, most “mink lashes” are made of a synthetic material called PBT. PBT or technically called as Polybutylene terephthalate, is a sort of polyester that is being used in a numerous products including false lashes as well.

This certain type of lashes have a natural, semi-matte finish that imitates the look of natural lashes, and an ultra-lightweight lash body. Mink lashes are lighter than other sort of lash extensions is, and are generally used in volume sets since they are so featherweight. Such sets are tapered for most of the lash extension body, so each lash is up to 30% lighter than that of silk lash extensions. Looked out for their astounding natural look, mink lashes are great for clients who want natural-looking lashes, ones with fine natural lashes, and even super volume sets.

More Natural Look

Because of the fibers, it gives off that fluff, feather-light feeling. Mink lashes are relatively closer to the real ones, since they are matte and tapered more at the ends, just like client’s own lashes do. Even false lashes made from human hair do not taper the way real lashes do, since the long hair strands are cut by simply trimming across the middle.

SILK LASHES

Just like mink ones, silk lashes are made of PBT as well. The major difference in between the either one isn’t their material, rather in their weight, shape, and finish.

Silk lashes have a short taper, which alludes that the frame of the lash is thicker and longer. Unlike mink ones, they have a stunning partly gloss finish. Due to their thick dense frame, silk lashes are best for exuberant sets, and are generally used in conjunction with classic lashing (traditional lash sets that have just single lash extension to their natural lash set).

Procedure

Once after the initial discussions with your beautician, to establish the type of shape and type of look you sought and any recommendations, its time to relax, sit down on the couch and enjoy the process.

The eyes and lashes have to be free of any sort of make-up, but our professionals will also cleanse your lashes to ensure they are clear of any oil. It is to make sure the lash extensions bond rightly to the natural ones.

Then the technicians will place synthetic small pads under each eye which are placed over the lower lashes, to keep them clear of the way. Clients eyes will then be kept closed for the remaining duration of the treatment.

Using tweezers, the pads will be placed by singling out the individual lash that will be treated on, to receive the extension sets. The lash set is then applied on to the natural lash with a specific drafted adhesive agent.

The application takes nearly 1.45 to 1.5 and somewhere between 50 to 150 lashes on each eye varying with the size and shape of your eyes, giving the look you desire to achieve.

Once all of the lashes have been applied there is usually about a 5 – 10 minute wait for the bonding to dry and voila!

Choosing between the different sorts of lash extensions to use will depend on the client. Their age, the occasion, the look they are going for will all play a factor in deciding which extension to work with.
