Classic Lash Extensions
Classic lash extensions are the most traditional type of lash extensions. They involve attaching one extension to one natural lash. This technique results in a subtle, natural look that’s perfect for those who want to enhance their lashes but still look like themselves. Classic lash extensions are typically made from synthetic fibers, and they come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses to suit different preferences.
Volume Lash Extensions
Volume lash extensions, also known as Russian volume lashes, are a more dramatic option. They involve attaching several extensions to one natural lash, creating a fluffier, fuller look. Volume lash extensions are typically made from lighter, finer fibers than classic extensions, which allows for more extensions to be attached to each lash. This results in a more voluminous look that’s perfect for special occasions or for those who want to make a bold statement with their lashes.
Hybrid Lash Extensions
Hybrid lash extensions are a combination of classic and volume extensions. They involve attaching a mix of classic and volume extensions to each natural lash. This creates a look that is both subtle and dramatic, making them a great option for those who want to strike a balance between natural and bold.
Classic VS Hybrid VS Volume Lash Extensions: Which Are Yours?
Mega Volume Lash Extensions
Mega volume lash extensions are the boldest option. They involve attaching the largest volume of extensions to each natural lash, creating a dramatic, eye-catching look. Mega volume lash extensions are typically made from very fine fibers, which allows for an even greater number of extensions to be attached to each lash. If you’re looking to make a statement with your lashes, mega volume extensions may be the right choice for you.
Russian Volume Lash Extensions
Russian lash extensions, also known as Russian Volume lash extensions, are a type of semi-permanent eyelash extension that involves applying multiple lightweight lash extensions to a single natural lash. The technique results in a fan-like effect, creating a fuller, more voluminous look.
The lashes used in Russian Volume extensions are typically much thinner than those used in classic lash extensions and are often made of synthetic materials such as polyester or silk. They are designed to be lightweight and flexible so that multiple lashes can be applied without weighing down the natural lashes.
The application process for Russian Volume lashes can take longer than that for classic lash extensions, as it requires more skill and precision to create the fan-like effect. However, the results can be more dramatic and long-lasting, with the extensions lasting up to several weeks with proper care and maintenance.
Sable Lash Extensions
Sable lash extensions are a newer option in the world of lash extensions. They’re made from a synthetic material that mimics the soft, fluffy texture of natural sable fur. Sable lash extensions offer a more natural-looking alternative to traditional synthetic extensions, and they come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses to suit different preferences.
Mink Lash Extensions
Mink lash extensions are made from a synthetic material that mimics the soft, natural texture of mink fur. They offer a more luxurious and natural-looking alternative to synthetic extensions, and they come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses to suit different preferences.
Final Thought
No matter which type of lash extensions you choose, it’s important to choose a reputable technician who has been trained and certified in the application process.
Lash extensions should only be applied by a professional to ensure that they are applied safely and properly, and to avoid damaging your natural lashes.
It’s also important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure that your extensions last as long as possible. This typically involves avoiding oil-based products, rubbing your eyes for the first 24-48 hours after the application, and avoiding the use of waterproof mascara.
You should also be gentle when brushing your lashes, and you may need to avoid steam rooms, saunas, and hot yoga for the first few days after the application.
