There are many eyelash extension techniques on the market today. If you want to be among the best eyelash stylists, you need to know as many methods and techniques as possible. One of them is the squirrel eyelash look. This technique guarantees many new customers and success.

WHAT IS THE "SQUIRREL EFFECT" EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

The squirrel eyelash technique is very popular around the world. The method is very similar to Fox Eyelash Extensions. The length of the eyelashes increases from the middle of the eyelid to its outer corner. Very long eyelash extensions are attached to the edge. The rims of the eyes are characterized by a spectacular bend. Squirrel Lashes get their name from the squirrel ears. Depending on the density desired by the client, the style can be made using the classic or voluminous eyelash extension technique.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PROFESSIONAL SQUIRREL EYELASH LOOK

The work consists of the following phases:

1. The preparation process. The eyelash stylist cleans the skin of the eyelid from makeup and excess sebum with an eyelash shampoo. It is better to remove contact lenses. The eyelashes are prepared with a primer.
2. Special hydrogel eye pads are fixed to the lower eyelid. They prevent the lower and upper lash line from sticking together. They are also a nourishing mask for the skin under the eyes.
3. The manufactured eyelash fans (depending on the chosen technique) are glued onto the natural eyelashes. First, with the squirrel eyelash extensions, the shortest extensions are glued to the inner corner of the eye. The length of the eyelash extensions gets longer towards the outer corner.
4. When all the lashes are in place, the stylist gently removes the pad and combs the lashes with a brush.

HOW TO GET THE BEST EFFECT WITH SQUIRREL EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

To achieve the desired effect, the eyelash stylist uses four or more lengths of eyelash extensions. The shortest are 6mm long, the longest can be 14mm. The thickness of the extensions is also discussed with the client prior to work.

If the client's natural eyelashes are thin, it is recommended to use light material. The work begins with choosing the length of the eyelash extensions. They must be adapted to the length, size, position and density of the client's natural eyelashes.

The work of squirrel eyelash extensions starts at the inner corner of the eye with a length of 6 to 8 mm. The second section from the center out will be filled with the longest extensions. A smooth transition occurs up to a maximum length of 14 mm. The outer part of the eyelid is divided into four equal parts. These are filled with shorter eyelash extensions. Finish the outer corners with a short length (7-10 mm). The transition from one length to another should be smooth to achieve visual widening of the eyes.

SQUIRREL EYE LASH MAPPING

The eyelash stylist applies artificial hair to natural eyelashes with glue, moving from the inner to the outer corner of the eye. The standard lengths are 14 to 6 mm. The thicknesses range from 0.03 to 0.15 mm. The lengths depend on the customer's natural lashes. Also consider the customer's request. The specialty of the technique is to create a smooth transition to the shorter hair on the inner and outer corners. Many professionals use five or more lengths so that the extensions stick proportionally to the edge of the eye and convey a natural look. Here is a professional squirrel eyelash lash mapping:

WHICH CURLS WORK BEST FOR THE SQUIRREL LASHES LOOK?

We recommend using eyelash extensions Curl C, CC, D and DD. These curls work best with squirrel lashes and give the desired effect.

WHAT EYE SHAPES ARE SUITABLE FOR SQUIRREL EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Squirrel eyelashes are suitable for certain clients. The look is perfect for women with long and thick lashes who want to visually lengthen and lift their eyes. If the structure of natural eyelashes is different, it is better to look for a more appropriate technique. Squirrel Lashes are best for:

• Clients with round and almond eyes - the horizontal elongated line softens the rounded shape of the eyes

• Clients with tight-fitting eyes - the squirrel effect "spreads" the eyes slightly to the side, opening and enlarging them.

• Clients with Asian eyes and narrow eyes - squirrel eyelashes create an open-eye effect

• Customers with droopy eyes – The outer corner of the eye is visually lifted, giving it a rounder shape.

Of course, the squirrel eyelash look isn't for everyone. If the client has large or widely spaced eyes, this lash look is not recommended. The look would only highlight the flaws on the eyes. The length and density of natural eyelashes should be large enough and dense. The squirrel effect does not look good with few and short eyelashes. Because this lash style adds a third to a quarter of the length of natural lashes.

HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE?

Creating the squirrel eyelash extension look is a meticulous method. It requires accuracy and a lot of training. An experienced eyelash stylist is very important for an excellent job. The treatment time is at least 2 hours. If the customer wants a special set with a 3D volume squirrel effect, it takes at least 3 hours.

Refilling takes a little less time. During appointments, eyelashes partially fall out and new ones grow in their place. When refilling, the stylist carefully examines the eyelash growth line, corrects mistakes and glues new extensions. Therefore, it takes about an hour and a half to complete this quest.

If the job is done in less time, the eyelash stylist most likely rushed and didn't glue artificial hair to every natural eyelash.

HOW LONG DOES THE SQUIRREL EYELASH EXTENSION EFFECT LAST?

They usually last up to three to four weeks. It can be lengthened, but it depends on the properties and condition of the natural eyelashes. The work of the stylist and the products used also affect the "lifespan" of the eyelashes.

Taking medication and hormones can affect the length of time you wear Squirrel eyelashes. Oily skin shortens the wearing time drastically, by about a week. The main reason is the negative effect of fat on the glue.

Conny Lashe's tip: If the skin is cleansed with products to reduce the oil content of the skin, the wearing time will increase.

PROPER CARE OF SQUIRREL EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Proper aftercare depends on their lifespan and frequency of refill appointments. Here we have some useful recommendations that must be given to the customer:

• Be extra careful when removing and inserting contact lenses. Be careful not to touch the lashes to avoid damaging them.
• Brush the lashes daily without touching the roots. A clean mascara brush works very well.
• We do not recommend applying mascara.
• Swimming and diving in chlorinated water will reduce eyelash wear time.
• Do not rub the eyelids when removing makeup. Carefully remove the dissolved make-up with a cotton pad.
• Glue is afraid of high temperatures - it is better not to visit swimming pools too often.
• Don't sleep with your face in the pillow. It makes the eyelashes fall out quickly and also leads to premature wrinkles.
• Only use oil-free cosmetics.

The tips are simple and easy to understand. If customers follow them, the squirrel eyelash extensions will look great for a long time.
