What are Volume/3D Eyelash Extensions?
When multiple lashes are applied to one single natural eyelash individually isolating one natural eyelash at a time. Using very thin lashes. If two eyelash extensions are applied to one natural lash it’s described as 2D, if three eyelash extensions are applied to one natural eyelash then it’s described as 3D etc. This method is also known as Russian volume. The lash extensions used in this method are significantly thinner (Usually a 0.05 - 0.10 diameter lash extension is used)  than the lash extensions used for the classic lash method. 

How do they differ from Classic Eyelash Extensions?
Volume lashes are lighter, fluffier and give the client a fuller look. Volume lashes are perfect for clients who don't have a lot of lashes, have sparse lashes, bald spots or just want a more dramatic look without having to use a thicker lash. 

How do the Volume Eyelash Extensions look?
Here is a visual of the difference between classic and volume lashes. When getting a classic lash set a 0.15 or 0.20 lash is applied to 1 natural lash. With volume lashes (2 or 3) 0.05 lashes are applied in a fan shape to 1 natural lash.

Aren't these Cluster Lashes?
This is nothing like "cluster" lashes where a chunk of lashes are glued to a bunch of your natural lashes! Cluster lashes are bad for your natural lash and will cause permanent damage in as little as 2 days.

Are Volume Eyelash Extensions damaging?
No, Volume lashes, are actually lighter than classic lashes. 1 (3D) Volume fan weighs less than 1 classic lash. Also, a lot less glue is used during the volume technique so you don't feel any weight on your eyes at all. You just see beautiful fluffy lashes. 

How long do Volume Eyelash Extensions Last? 
Volume Eyelash Extensions last as long as your natural lash, but we have seen that because of the different bonding technique Volume lashes have been known to last 4 weeks or longer! Of course this will depend on how you take care of your lashes and your natural growth cycle.
