Classic, hybrid, and volume eyelash extensions are different techniques used to achieve different looks. Classic lashes are applied individually on a 1:1 ratio, while volume lashes refer to super lightweight lashes that are crafted into a fan before being applied to individual natural lashes. Hybrid lashes are a 70:30 mixture of both classic and volume lashes placed strategically to frame the eyes.
Here are some positive and negative aspects of classic, hybrid, and volume eyelash extensions:
Classic Lashes
- Positive: Classic lashes can look more naturally elongated and elegant.
- Negative: Classic lashes won’t add much volume but will add length.
Volume Lashes
- Positive: Volume lashes can increase your lash count by as much as 700+ extensions per eye, giving you a dramatic look with unrivaled fullness.
- Negative: Volume lashes require a higher level of skill and time investment on the part of the technician, as they hand make the fans beforehand.
Hybrid Lashes
- Positive: Hybrid extensions offer a variety of texture and more volume, but without the sometimes slightly unnatural look of volume lashes.
- Negative: None found.
