CLASSIC VS RUSSIAN VOLUME LASHES: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

A "classic" set of lashes is created by applying one-by-one extensions to the natural lashes. This method is also called 1:1 or single-lash extensions. Classic sets are great for adding a little bit of length to the natural lashes and producing low-maintenance results.

2D/3D/4D/5D/6D lashes help give a fuller look to your lashes. The more D refers to the number of synthetic lashes in the volume fan. So more "D" means the fuller the lash set will look.

Example: 2D means two lashes per fan, 3D means three lashes per fan, 4D means four lashes per fan, etc.

TIP:

2D-3D: 2 to 3 single extensions on 1 natural lash. 2D-3D fans are created using 0.03 and 0.05mm lashes.

4D-6D: 4 to 5 single extensions on 1 natural lash. 4D-6D fans are created using 0.05mm lashes.

IS RUSSIAN VOLUME EYELASH EXTENSIONS FOR EVERYONE?

No. Not everyone is suitable for Russian Volume lashes. Contrary to popular belief, this technique is not ideal for clients with very short and sparse lashes, and the reason is simple. There isn't sufficient space on the natural lash shaft to safely adhere to all those fine lashes. Volume eyelashes are best suited for clients with healthy natural lashes that can carry the added weight safely.

LASH RETENTION WITH RUSSIAN VOLUME LASHES

As a lash artist, you are constantly working on perfecting your skill and delivering the best results for your clients. You want every client to walk out of your door with a smile, knowing how beautiful they look! Lash artists who wish to be the best in the industry must always strive for perfection, even after years of experience.

One thing that can prevent you from being the best is poor retention. If your clients don't have long-lasting lashes, they won't be happy, and neither will you. It is why it's so important to know how to improve retention with volume lashes.

 

So, why is retention important?

Retention is the length of time eyelash extensions will bond to your client's natural lashes. If you have good retention, your clients will be able to wear their eyelash extensions for weeks and even months at a time. It leads to happy clients and repeats business! The glue you use determines how well it bonds to the natural lashes and how long they last. In addition, there are certain factors such as humidity levels in the room where you are working that can affect bonding times too!

What are the main reasons for poor retention?

• The glue is not suited for the environment.
• The adhesive is too thin or too thick.
• The wrong isolation technique was used, causing lashes to clump together.
• The lash extension was applied on a dirty lash line.

RUSSIAN VOLUME EYELASHES: BENEFITS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Almost every woman is born with a set of eyelashes. But the length, volume, and thickness of these lashes can significantly differ from one person to another. It is why many women use mascara to enhance their eyes and eyelashes. But applying mascara can be time-consuming and messy. It can also flake off during the day, leaving dark specks under your eyes.

The benefits of Russian volume eyelash extensions are numerous. They are incredibly natural-looking, but they also can add a great deal of length and volume to the eye area. Russian volume is one of the most popular techniques around right now.

FULLER, THICKER-LOOKING EYELASHES - The Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions technique creates a beautiful look that cannot be achieved with traditional 1:1 eyelash extensions. The result is a full, glamorous look that never looks over the top. It offers a much fuller look than classic eyelash extensions and can make the eyes stand out in a way that you've never seen before.

BEAUTY - Perhaps the most significant benefit of using Russian volume lashes is that they provide beauty to otherwise unimpressive eyelashes. If you have clients with thin or short lashes, they might want to try the volume lashes. They will make their eyes look bigger and more beautiful, allowing them to feel more confident about their appearance.

NO NEED FOR MASCARA - Your clients won't need mascara with Russian Volume.

CUSTOMIZABLE - The thickness and length of Russian volume eyelashes can be customized entirely to suit your client's desired look. Russian Volume has you covered, whether it's a natural daytime look or something less/more dramatic for an evening out!

HOW DO RUSSIAN VOLUME EYELASH EXTENSIONS WORK?

The process involves attaching a single extension to a grouping of three natural lashes. This technique allows more lashes to be applied in a shorter period, making them very popular with lash artists and clients alike. The results are fuller and thicker lashes that appear more natural than other eyelash extensions.

The initial time to apply volume lashes depends on how fast the lash artist can pick up and apply the extensions onto your natural lash base. Most lash artists take the average time ranges between 1.5 hours to 2 hours. It is also largely dependent on the lash artist's skills and experience level.

The wonderful thing about Russian Volume is that it is suitable for almost every client! If you don't want too much drama, then you can use a 3D or 4D technique which adds Volume and length without looking like you have lash extensions.

You can use the Russian Volume 2D-6D techniques that add fullness, length, and drama for the more daring clients!
