Classic and volume lashes are two different techniques used for eyelash extensions. Here are the key differences between classic and volume lashes:
Classic Lashes:
- Classic lashes use a one-to-one application method, where one extension is applied individually to one natural lash.
- Classic lashes provide a more subtle, natural lash look, and are great for those with naturally thick lashes or those seeking a natural enhancement.
- Each individual eyelash is thicker in diameter than volume lashes, and they are most widely used in a diameter of 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, and 0.20 mm.
- Classic lashes won’t add much volume but will add length, and can be done more quickly than volume looks.
Volume Lashes:
- Volume lashes use a multiple-to-one application method, where fans of 2 or more very fine lash extensions are applied to one natural lash.
- Volume lashes provide a fuller, fluffier appearance, and can range from a natural look which adds some length and volume, to a very dramatic and full look.
- Volume lashes consist of thinner extensions than classic lashes made into fans, and can be created using both pre-made fans and handmade fans.
- Volume lashes range in diameter from 0.03 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.07 mm, and 0.10 mm.
