There are many different types of eyelash extensions available, each offering unique advantages and disadvantages depending on the individual’s eye shape, desired look, lifestyle, budget, and more. To learn more about all types of eyelash extensions and how to apply them, you can join our training course dedicated specifically to eyelash extensions.
Classic Lash Extensions
Classic lash extensions are individual synthetic lashes applied to each natural eyelash with medical-grade adhesive by a certified lash artist or technician. The result is an increase in length, thickness, and curl of your natural lashes without looking unnatural or overpowering. Classic lashes can be used to create a subtle everyday look or something more dramatic for special occasions like weddings or proms. Depending on your desired style and natural lashes, classic lash sets typically last 4-6 weeks before needing to be refilled or replaced.
Russian Or Volume Lash Extensions
Russian or volume lash extensions are a more advanced form of eyelash extensions that involve the application of multiple ultra-fine synthetic lashes to each natural eyelash. This method is often referred to as “fans” or “flares” because the finished product looks like fans of multiple lashes. The effect is a fuller, thicker, and longer look than classic lash extensions can provide. Volume lashes are typically made with lighter and softer materials than classic lashes, so they feel very light on the eyes and don’t cause any discomfort. They can last up to 8 weeks before needing to be refilled or replaced.
Hybrid Lash Extensions
Hybrid lash extensions are a combination of both classic and Russian/volume lash techniques, where two different lengths, thicknesses, and curls are used in one set for a truly unique look. Hybrid sets usually use shorter length individual synthetic lashes along with Russian/volume fans for a full yet natural-looking set that creates more depth around the eyes than either technique could achieve alone. Hybrid sets generally last 4-6 weeks before needing to be refilled or replaced, depending on how quickly your natural eyelashes grow out.
What Is The Best? Classic, Volume Or Hybrid Lashes Extensions?
The best type of eyelash extensions for you depends on several factors such as eye shape, desired look, lifestyle preferences, and budget constraints. If you prefer something subtle but still noticeable, then classic lashes may be the way to go. If you want something more dramatic, then Russian/volume lashes would be better suited. Finally, if you want something in between, then hybrid sets may be just what you need! Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, but it’s always best to consult with an experienced professional who can advise which type will work best for your individual needs and preferences.
