Volume Eyelash Extensions
Everyone dreams of having thick, gorgeous eyelashes with an expressive look. To create that look volume lash extensions could help, so let’s talk about the types of volumes and how they are created.
There are two main types of extensions: classic individual lash extensions — when one artificial lash is attached to each of your natural lashes, it lengthens them and emphasizes; volume lash extensions — when several artificial lashes are glued to one of yours at once, it is used to create volume. This technique increases the thickness several times — from 2 to 9 times. The completed look is bright and expressive.
Some of the pluses of volume extension method:
- Hides imperfections — sparse and short lashes with its help acquire the missing thickness.
- Corrects the shape of the eye.
- Helps with obvious gaps in the lash row.
- Highlights the look.
What are the types of volume eyelashes?
The division into types depends on the number of artificial lashes are used per natural lash.
1.5 D – when there is a partial increase or incomplete volume, for example, in the outer corners of the eyes or at certain gaps.
Two optimal types of volumes that are well worn and suitable for every day:
- 2D – balance between naturalness and expressiveness.
- 3D – more obvious volume.
This is a comfortable proportion of all parameters. For those who want to keep the naturalness without being “too much”. They are more dramatic and expressive compared to classic individual method. Especially suitable for those who have too thin and sparse eyelashes, but want to create a natural effect.
4D, 5D, 6D - 9D is the addition of 4 or more artificial lashes to your own. These kinds of volume may not be suitable in everyday life and are not quite comfortable to wear every day. They will overload the weight of your own lashes, so they are not a good option for long-term wear. They are usually a great option for special events and are often chosen by celebrities. Therefore, types from 5D to 9D are often called Hollywood extensions.
The creation process of the volume extensions takes 2-3 hours. The more complex the technique, the longer the procedure. With volume extensions the loss of artificial eyelashes is more noticeable, so getting regular refills on time is recommended. Please keep in mind that if your natural lashes are weak and fragile, then classic individual extensions would be a better option for you.
