Volume lash extensions, also known as Russian volume lashes, are a more advanced and intricate type of eyelash extension technique than classic lash extensions. This method involves applying a "fan" or" mu" tiple thin, lightweight lash extensions to each natural eyelash. The result is a fuller, more glamorous look than what can be achieved with classic lash extensions.
Here's Here'siled look at volume lash extensions:
1. Fan Creation: Unlike the one-to-one ratio of classic lashes, volume lashes involve creating fans of multiple extensions (ranging from two to as many as six or more ultra-fine extensions) applied to each natural lash. The technician usually handmade these fans at the time of application, although pre-made fans are also available.
2. Lightweight Extensions: The extensions used in volume lashing are much thinner than those used in classic lashing (typically ranging from 0.05mm to 0.07mm thick). This allows multiple extensions to be applied without weighing down the natural lash or causing damage.
3. Customizable Volume: The volume degree can be customized based on the number of extensions in each fan and the number of natural lashes to which fans are applied. Options range from a more natural look (2D or 3D, indicating two or three extensions per natural lash) to a theatrical look (5D and up).
4. Enhanced Fullness: Volume lashes are particularly suitable for clients with sparse lashes, as the multiple extensions in each fan create a fuller look across the lash line.
5. Application Time and Skill: Applying volume lashes is more time-consuming and requires more excellent skill and precision than classic lash extensions. Depending on the desired volume and the technician's level, a complete set can take 2 to 3 hours or more to apply.
6. Maintenance: Like classic lash extensions, volume lash extensions require regular maintenance, including refills every 2 to 4 weeks, to replace lashes that have fallen out with the natural lash cycle.
Volume lash extensions are an excellent choice for those seeking a more dramatic, glamorous look or those with sparse natural lashes who want a fuller appearance. However, it's essential to choose a skilled and experienced lash technician to ensure the health and safety of your natural lashes.
