Classic, Volume, Hybrid, OH MY: Which Lash Style is Right for You?
Choosing the "Right" Lash style can feel stressful, but stress no more as I review which style best suits you!
Classic Lashes
What are Classic Lashes?
- Classic Lashes are the most natural-looking option. They involve applying one lash extension to one natural lash. The look of classic lashes is defined, natural, and elegant.
Who are Classic Lashes Best for?
- Clients with a good number of natural lashes who want to enhance their look without appearing overly dramatic.
- Perfect for those who are new to lash extensions.
- Perfect for those looking for a mascara effect.
- Ideal for professionals or those looking for a minimal look.
What are the Impact Classic Lashes?
- Classic lashes enhance length and curl while maintaining a natural effect. They're great for emphasizing natural beauty without feeling heavy or overall noticeable.
Volume Lashes
What are Volume Lashes?
- Volume Lashes create a fuller, fluffier look by applying premade or handmade fans (multiple lightweight extensions applied to one natural lash) "These fans can range from 2D (2 extensions per lash) to 10D in mega volume." (Lamathong)
Who are Volume Lashes Best for?
- For the clients who want to feel "G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S" (Fergie)
- Clients with sparse natural lashes who want to add density and volume.
- Those looking for a striking, bold look for special occasions, photoshoots, or everyday glam.
- Perfect for lash lovers who enjoy making a statement.
What Impact do Volume lashes Have?
- Volume Lashes give a dramatic, eye-capturing effect that enhances the fullness and fluffiness of your lashes, making your eyes the focal point.
Hybrid Lashes
What are Hybrid Lashes?
- Hybrid lashes, "you get the best of both worlds" (Hannah Montana): The natural look of classic lashes and the fullness of volume lashes. This style blends individual lashes with volume fans for a textured look.
Who are Hybrid Lashes Best for?
- Clients who want a bit more volume than classic lashes but less dramatic than volume lashes.
- Great for clients with uneven natural lashes, as the mix of styles creates a balanced look.
- Ideal for clients looking for a more versatile style
What Impact do Hybrid lashes Have?
- Hybrid lashes give a bold yet natural result, making them a popular choice for clients who want definition and volume without going all out.
FAQ:
- Can I switch between styles?
- Yes, many lash artists will work with your needs!
- Which style lasts the longest?
- Not a specific style lasts longer than another, but depending on the maintenance the client provides will determine the retention.
- Are there styles that are heavier than others?
No, although some styles such as volume may seem heavier, the lashes are made to be lightweight like a feather.
Conclusion:
Choosing a lash style comes down to your personal preference, lifestyle, and desired look. Whether you prefer natural and elegant, the bold glamour of volume lashes, or the balanced variety of hybrid lashes, there is a perfect style for everyone. So which style speaks to you and your personal vision?

I know more about lashes than I did when I began reading this, thank you for the explanations! I would love to know more about the types of lash glue. I developed an allergy to the crano-acrylate ingredient present in most glues. Is there a workaround for this?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful insight! I knew nothing about lash extensions previously and I actually feel more comfortable about the whole process after reading your post. What would you say is your favorite style to do and the hardest?
ReplyDeleteGreat information for lash beginners! I had extensions only once in my life, they were just classics but I do miss that feeling of waking up and feeling put together already! What is the best way to care for the lashes during and after extensions? I felt like after I stopped my lashes were so brittle and short!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading this! Ive always wanted lash extensions but I am so scared they will damage my natural lashes. Is there anything you would recommend to make sure that doesn't happen?
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this because I know nothing about lashes or what would look good on my, I am that person that goes on tiktok and searches up everything about my face with eyelash extension just to see what it would look like on someone with my features. I love that you cited hannah montanah but also described the feeling it will give you hahaha.
