More and more clients are asking for fluffy lash extensions. And we advise our clients that if you want eyelash extensions look full and fluffy, go for either hybrid, volume, or mega volume lash extensions. Classic lash extensions are not ideal for fluffiness.
Making lash extensions appear fluffy involves several techniques and considerations, including the type of lashes used, the application method, and aftercare. Here are some tips to achieve fluffy lash extensions:
Choosing the Right Lashes
- Volume Lashes: If you want fluffy lashes, opt for volume lashes rather than classic lashes. Volume lashes involve applying multiple thinner lashes to each natural lash, creating a fuller, fluffier look. Common options are 3D, 4D, and up to 10D lashes, where the number indicates how many extensions are applied per natural lash.
- Lash Thickness and Curl: Use thinner lash extensions (usually 0.05mm to 0.07mm) to build volume without weighing down the natural lashes. Choose lashes with a curl that suits your desired look, such as C, D, or L curls, for a more lifted and voluminous appearance.
The secret to fluffy extensions is volume. if you want eyelash extensions look full and fluffy, choose either hybrid, volume, or mega volume lash extensions.
Application Techniques
- Handmade Fans: Create handmade fans by spreading multiple thin lashes into a fan shape before applying them to a single natural lash. This technique adds volume and fluffiness.
- Pre-made Fans: Use pre-made volume fans if you’re not as experienced with creating handmade fans. These can save time and still provide a fluffy effect.
Aftercare for Fluffy Lashes
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your lashes regularly with a lash-safe cleanser to remove oils, dirt, and makeup residue that can weigh down the lashes and reduce fluffiness.
- Avoid Oil-based Products: Oil-based makeup and skincare products can break down the lash adhesive, causing extensions to clump together. Stick to oil-free products around your eyes.
- Brush Daily: Gently brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie to keep them separated and maintain their fluffy appearance.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: While lashes can get wet, excessive exposure to water, such as swimming or steam rooms, can affect the adhesive and the fluffiness of the extensions.
- Regular Refills: Schedule regular refill appointments every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain the fullness and fluffiness of your lash extensions.
By following these guidelines, you can achieve and maintain fluffy lash extensions that enhance your eyes and provide a beautiful, voluminous look.
