Eyelash Extension Basics

When we talk about hybrid eyelash extensions, we must first compare the style to the traditional eyelash extension styles used today.

Classic Eyelash Extensions

The classic eyelash extension is the original way eyelash extensions were applied. The goal of the classic technique is to create understated, natural-looking, and subtly beautiful lashes. Classic eyelash extensions are applied on a 1:1 ratio, meaning that every extension is applied on one natural lash. There is no altered pattern to the extensions, as they are intended to extend your lashes’ natural beauty and arrangement.

Volume Eyelash Extensions

For people with thin, sparse, or fine eyelashes, volume eyelash extensions are the best solutions to get fuller, more voluminous lashes. The basic concept behind volume-increasing eyelash extensions is to apply multiple extensions to a single eyelash. This type of application creates very dramatic and glamorous looking lashes - attention-grabbing, to say the least. Volume lashes are also known as the “Russian lash” or “Russian volume lash extensions.” It is a relatively new style of eyelash extension application. The method for applying eyelash extensions for the voluminous look is to use lash extensions in a ratio of 3:1 or even 5:1! This creates an almost fan-like effect with the eyelashes. When volume lashes are done correctly, the selected weight and size of the extension for one volume fan will come out to the same weight as one classic eyelash extension. This technique ensures your natural lashes are protected with light-weight lashes and not weighed down.

Hybrid Eyelash Extensions

So, remember the story of Goldielocks and the Three Bears? Goldielocks ended up enjoying the bears’ porridge that was just the right temperature and the bed that was just the right size. Goldielocks was looking for the perfect balance, and that’s precisely what is intended with hybrid eyelash extensions. Hybrid eyelash extensions combine the refinement and beauty of your natural eyelash shape but add a splash of drama by applying the volume eyelash style into the mix as well. That’s why it’s called hybrid! The ratio of classic-to-volume application style for hybrid lashes will vary from client to client. A safe ratio that most clients find suitable is about 2.5:1, which means it is around 70% classic, 30% voluminous eyelash extensions.

Why Do People Love Hybrid Lash Extensions?

We feel that hybrid eyelash extensions are so popular right now because they are so versatile. Classic eyelash extensions are beautiful, but they are meant to be understated and practical for daily life. Strictly voluminous lash extensions are flashy and dramatic; they are meant to draw in attention. The hybrid style is the best of both worlds. They are casual enough for the office but also sexy and daring enough for the club. If you’re curious about eyelash extensions, why wait!? Click the link to book an appointment today!
