What is Classic Lash Extension?

Classic Lash Extension is an eyelash extension technology that achieves lengthening and intensifying effects by adhering an artificial eyelash extension to the client's natural lashes. Unlike using mascara or false lashes, Classic Lash Extension is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that can last from weeks to months, depending on the growth cycle and care of your natural lashes.

Advantage:

Natural effect: Classic Lash Extension is a one-to-one technology, that is, one artificial eyelash is extended and pasted on one natural eyelash, so that the eyelashes look natural and elegant, as if they are the customer's own eyelashes.

Faster Application: Compared to complex techniques like volumetric lash extensions, Classic Lash Extensions are relatively simple to apply and usually take less time to apply. This makes it ideal for getting a natural lash effect in a short amount of time.

Wide range of application: Classic Lash Extension is suitable for all lash types, including thick and thin lashes. Regardless of the size of a client's natural lashes, the Classic Lash Extension provides growth and encryption.

Low Maintenance: The maintenance of classic lash extensions is relatively simple. Since each lash is extended independently, they will gradually fall out as the natural lashes grow. Therefore, there is no need for frequent maintenance, just regular replenishment and extension.

Disadvantages:

Relatively limited volume and thickening effect: Classic Lash Extension provides a relatively natural effect, suitable for customers who are looking for elegant and natural. But for clients who want a more intense and dazzling effect, they may feel that Classic Lash Extension does not meet their expectations.

Not suitable for thinning eyelashes: Although Classic Lash Extension is suitable for all eyelash types, for customers with thinning eyelashes, Classic Lash Extension may not achieve the desired encryption effect. In this case, more complex volume lash extensions may be a better choice.

Not suitable for customers who like immersion effect: Each eyelash extension of Classic Lash Extension is independent, compared with the immersion effect of volume eyelash extension, it may not be enough for some customers to satisfy their pursuit of volume.

Classic Lash Extension is an eyelash extension technology that provides natural and elegant results. It has a wide range of applications, fast construction and simple maintenance, and is suitable for customers who pursue natural effects. However, if the client wishes to achieve more volume and complex lashes, or if the lashes are sparse, other more complex techniques may need to be considered.

What is Volume Lash Extension?

Volume Lash Extension is an eyelash extension technique that involves affixing multiple ultra-fine artificial eyelashes (typically 2-6) to each of a client's natural lashes to create a single light and voluminous lash fan. Compared to classic lash extension technology one-to-one paste, volume lash extensions create more artificial lashes on one natural lash for more volume and gorgeous results.

Advantage:

Thick and Gorgeous Effect: Volume Lash Extension Technology creates a light and fluffy fan of lashes, giving clients more volume and gorgeous results. This makes it ideal for clients looking for a dramatic and dazzling look.

For thinning lashes: Volume lash extensions are an excellent option for clients with thinner lashes. By increasing the number of artificial eyelashes, the gaps of natural eyelashes can be visually encrypted and filled.

Longevity: Volume eyelash extensions usually have a long lasting. Since there are multiple artificial lashes on each natural lash, even if some lashes fall out, the volume effect can still be maintained.

Personalization: Volume eyelash extension technology allows you to customize eyelash fans of different densities and lengths according to the needs and requirements of customers, providing personalized effects.

Disadvantages:

Construction Time: Compared to classic lash extension techniques, volume lash extensions have a longer construction time due to the need to manually create the lash fan and delicately apply each artificial lash. This may cause an extension process to take more time.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: The volumetric eyelash extension technique requires great skill and meticulous manual work. Mastering volume lash extensions requires more training and practice, so there can be a learning curve for newbies.

Maintenance Requirements: Due to the higher lash count involved with volume lash extensions, more frequent maintenance may be required to ensure long-lasting and full results.

Adaptability: Although volumetric lash extensions are suitable for all lash types, for clients with fewer or weaker natural lashes, it may be more taxing because the lash fan adds weight to the lashes.

The volumizing lash extension technology creates a thick and luxurious effect for clients looking for a dramatic look as well as those with thinner lashes. However, the construction time is long, the technical requirements are high, and more frequent maintenance may be required, so there are certain challenges in adaptability. As a professional eyelash extension artist, understanding these advantages and disadvantages can provide the most suitable eyelash extension solution according to the customer's needs and natural eyelash conditions.
