Hybrid lashes are a type of eyelash extensions which combine two different types of lash extensions – classic and volume. They offer the best of both worlds, providing clients with natural looking full set lashes in less time than it takes to apply classic or volume lashes individually. Hybrid lash fans love that they get fuller and thicker looking lashes in less time. In this article, we’ll discuss what hybrid lashes are, the benefits of getting them, how they compare to classic and volume lashes, and finally, the treatment process for hybrid eyelash extensions.
What Are Hybrid Lashes?
Hybrid lashes are a combination of classic eyelash extensions and volume lash extensions applied at the same time to create a full set look with fewer individual eyelashes than would be used if applying each type separately. They provide more natural-looking results compared to traditional false or strip eyelashes, as well as giving clients longer-lasting results compared to using mascara alone. Unlike traditional false or strip eyelashes, which need to be replaced after just one use, hybrid lash extension sets can last up to 6 weeks with proper maintenance from your technician and home care regimen.
Classic lashes are single strands of synthetic mink or silk fibers that mimic your natural lash hairs, attached one by one onto each individual natural lash hair you have on your eyes for even distribution across both eyes, creating a more subtle look that is ideal for everyday wear. Volume lashes, also known as Russian Volume or 2D-3D-4D-5D-6D Volume (depending on how many strands you use), consist of multiple thin synthetic mink/silk fibers placed into “fans” (groups) onto each individual natural eyelash hair, creating a fluffier, fuller effect depending on how many strands per fan the client desires.

By combining these two techniques, technicians can provide their clients with a much fuller set in half the amount of time it would take if they were applying either technique separately, without compromising quality or longevity!
Benefits Of Getting Hybrid Lash Extension
The main benefit of getting hybrid lash extensions is having fuller-looking, luscious, long-lasting, and beautiful eyelashes without having to wait for an hour for all those little single strands to be applied! With hybrid lashing, your appointment will be significantly shorter, making it easier not only for you but also for your technician, who will now have enough time to accommodate other clients during their day while still providing excellent service. Other benefits include:
- Long-lasting results: Hybrid lash extensions typically last between 4-6 weeks when properly maintained, whereas classic lashes usually need to be replaced within 2-3 weeks due to natural shedding over time. This means that not only do you save money by going longer between fills, but you also maintain a fresh new look without worrying about constantly having refills done every few days!
- Natural-looking results: By combining both classic and volume techniques, technicians can create incredibly lush full sets that still look very soft and subtle, yet give off major impactful glamorous vibes when walking into any room! Plus, since each strand is attached directly onto its own individual existing eyelash hair, this ensures even distribution throughout, resulting in an overall more evenly blended result opposed to clumping up certain areas like what happens when using pre-made strips/clusters instead.
- Quicker appointments: Since the appointment time is significantly shorter, you can fit more clients into your day and still provide them with an amazing set of hybrid lash extensions without having to rush through any of the steps!
Hybrid Lashes vs Classic Lashes
When it comes to comparing hybrid lashes vs classic lashes, there are a few key differences that should be taken into consideration. Hybrid lashes offer a fuller, thicker look while still providing natural-looking results. They also require less time for application compared to classic lash extensions, making them a great option for those who don’t have much time or patience for lengthy appointments. Additionally, hybrid lash sets last longer than classic lash sets due to the increased number of strands applied per eye. However, they do require more maintenance as they will need to be filled in more often than classic lash sets due to their shorter lifespan.
Hybrid Lash Treatment
The process of applying hybrid eyelash extensions is very similar to applying either classic or volume lashes individually but with one major difference – instead of using one type exclusively, you use both! After discussing with your client about what kind of style and fullness they would like, technicians will start by cleaning off their existing eyelashes then apply a special adhesive on each individual natural eyelash hair before attaching the desired amount and size of fans, depending on the desired look (usually 1D-3D). The treatment usually takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour, and after completion, clients should avoid getting their eyes wet for at least 24 hours so that the adhesive has enough time to cure properly, ensuring longer-lasting results! Clients should also come back every 3-4 weeks for refills so that they can maintain their gorgeous new look and not miss out on all the compliments coming their way!
In conclusion, hybrid eyelash extensions are an excellent choice for those who want fuller, luscious, and long-lasting eyebrows in half the time it would take to apply classic or volume lashes separately, without compromising quality or longevity. Not only do they provide more natural-looking results compared to traditional false or strip eyelashes, but they also give clients longer-lasting results compared to using mascara alone. Finally, while the process may seem daunting at first, it is quite simple once you get used to it and definitely worth trying out if you are considering switching up your beauty routine this season!
