What Are Eyelashes? Know the Definition and Types!

Eyelash is a common term for people interested in fashion around the eyes. However, few know what eyelashes are.

So, if you expect your eye area to look more fashionable and beautiful, it's a good idea to know what eyelashes are, their definition and their types!

Definition of Eyelashes

Eyelashes, or in Indonesian means eyelashes, can be interpreted as short strands of hair that grow on the edge of the eyelid.

The average person has 75 to 80 eyelashes on the lower lid and 90 to 160 eyelashes on the upper lid.

Eyelashes grow 0.12 to 0.14 mm per day until they reach their optimal length, usually 12 mm or less, and generally fall out on their own.

The thickness and length of eyelashes vary, depending on genetics. Thyromegaly eyelashes is a condition characterized by eyelashes that are longer than 12 mm.

This trait can be inherited or a symptom of the underlying condition. In some cases, people with the condition must shave their eyelashes to prevent vision problems.

Although everyone's eyelashes curl or curl to some degree, the amount of curl is determined by the same cells deciding whether a person's hair is straight or curly.

So, people with curly hair tend to have eyelashes with a more dramatic curl, while people with straight hair tend to have straighter eyelashes.

It is better to pull or rub the eyelashes when you want to remove them by force.

It takes about eight weeks for them to grow back. Consistently plucking your eyelashes can cause trauma to the lash follicles, which can prevent further growth.

Types of Eyelashes Extensions

1. Silk

There are two types of silk: premium silk and synthetic. Synthetic silk is made from a synthetic base material with a slightly stiff texture and a natural appearance. Premium silk is made from a synthetic material with a softer texture but still gives a natural effect.

There are several types for its use, namely type C and type D. Type C (natural) is suitable for those who have many natural eyelashes and narrow, small eyes.

So, type D (curly) is suitable for people with thicker eyelashes and round or large eye shapes.

You can apply twice for those with fewer eyelashes. Depending on the desired result, you want to look thick or natural.

2. Mink

Mink, this type, has a softer and smoother texture that is 99% similar to real eyelashes, so the installation results look very natural. Its use is similar to the previous silk based on types C (natural) and D (curly).

3. Russian Volume

Russian Volume has a very fine texture and a diameter of 0.07 mm. Using 3-5 strands for every natural eyelash. The result gives a volume effect. Russian volume also has types c and d.

Russian volume type c (natural) suisr users with few natural eyelashes and narrow, small eyes.

On the other hand, Russian Volume with type d (curled) is suitable for use on people with few natural eyelashes, round eyes, and large eye shapes.

For those who already have many natural eyelashes and don't want them to look too thick, you can probably pair them naturally (not too full).

4. Light Volume

The texture of this type of eyelash is much softer because the diameter of each strand is 0.05 mm, and about 2-4 strands are needed to use it in each natural strand of eyelashes.

The effect can be voluminous but still light and looks natural. Light volume is perfect for those who already have a lot of natural eyelashes and don't want to look too thick. You can apply it naturally (not too full).

5. 6D Volume

6D volume, the texture is similar to Russian volume but differs when used. In 6D volume, 6 strands per strand of natural eyelashes are used. The effect obtained is that it looks naturally voluminous because it is fluffier.

This type is highly recommended for people who want a voluminous but not too thick eyelash effect so their eyes can look bigger (doll eye effect).
