1. Raw materials for false eyelashes
Mainly chemical fiber hair and animal hair. Animal hair is mainly mink hair, which was popular in early years. In recent years, due to the high cost and some defects, it has been gradually abandoned by the market, and it is inferred that it will be replaced by high imitation animal hair. This imitation animal hair was originally called mink hair, and later called Bos. In fact, they are all imitation mink hair (imitating the ripple of animal hair, and the more advanced fish-scale structure can imitate the appearance of animal hair), which is widely used in the hair field. At present, mink velvet and velvet on the market mainly express the softness of false eyelashes and the closeness to natural hair based on marketing needs. In particular, the concept of mink hair, which was hyped in the previous market, was extended, and there were very few real mink eyelashes. Only by knowing the raw materials can we distinguish the authenticity. Velvet is a concept word.
Chemical fiber cotton is the drawing of plastic particles, and the basic material comes from petrochemical companies. PBT and PET are mainly used in eyelash field (you can search in Baidu Encyclopedia). German BASF, Japanese Toray, China Changchun and China Yizheng are brand names of plastic granules, all of which belong to PBT. The particle purification degree of different manufacturers affects whether the eyelash filament is made into a finished product after drawing, whether it fades or burns the hair tip when setting, and the bending length after setting. It also affects the adhesion and glue absorption of finished eyelashes and the experience of customers after grafting. The stability of foreign particles is relatively good, but the requirements for drawing process, dyeing process and oxidation process are high, and few drawing plants can master it maturely. According to the available data, only one manufacturer in China (used for false eyelashes) can mature BASF granules, and its main export is foreign trade, which has been in short supply. In other wire drawing plants, Changchun material is better, or Changchun material and Yizheng material are blended and synthesized. Honest manufacturers will tell customers whether it is domestic material or imitation material, while exaggerated manufacturers will say it is imported material. Eyelash filaments extracted from different particles can be detected through technical analysis, and there are testing institutions in Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. As a finished product foundry, whether raw materials are imported or not can be identified by setting data. Take BASF particles from Germany as an example. The eyelashes painted by BASF particles do not fade or burn at 145℃ for more than 2 hours, and do not look back after 12 months, which has good fit and glue absorption and has been recognized by overseas customers.
PET is often used in shoe brushes, brooms and toothbrushes. The prices of materials are imported materials110 and domestic PBT materials 1/3. Self-grafting series (distribution and segmentation) mainly used in eyelash field.
From the perspective of intellectual property protection, the now hyped "BASF" is registered by BASF Germany, and any act of operating the market in its name is suspected of infringement and has not been authorized by BASF. The "BASF eyelashes" on the market are suspected of infringement and are counterfeit with domestic synthetic materials. Especially in the field of eyelashes, people feel that there is some disorderly competition and excessive exaggeration. This field has low threshold, dense employees and mixed fish and dragons. There are three key links in eyelash industry: 1, research and development and production of wool; 2.R&D and mold production; 3. Output of finished products. Labor-intensive processes include: 1, semi-finished product processing; 2, finished product processing, all labor-intensive work often lacks core competitiveness, belongs to the link of high capital and low profit, and has insufficient anti-risk ability.
There is no degradable eyelash silk in the strict sense in China. In the beautiful country, there are eyelash filaments of bamboo fiber now, but they can't be sharpened yet.
2. False eyelash style
According to the complexity of grafting, there are self-grafting and salon.
Autografting: removing hair and segments. Later, the technology will be upgraded to the opposite hair (one eye is grafted in three sections and one is grafted). Because the wearing cycle is short, the material used for eyelashes will be relatively affordable.
Salon category: close-arranged, flower-pulling series. The emphasis is on single grafting or flowering grafting. The technical requirements for eyeliner are relatively high, and the requirements for wool focus on gel absorption and coagulation time, grafting degree, customer touch, allergic reaction and so on. The requirements for raw materials of eyelashes have also been raised to a certain height.
Therefore, every eyelash style and every raw material has a corresponding customer base, which is the corresponding market. There is no strict sense of good or bad.
