Eyelash extensions are a great way to enhance the natural beauty of your lashes, but with so many different types available, it can be challenging to know which one is right for you. Here's a breakdown of the four main types of eyelash extensions: classic, hybrid, volume, and Russian Mega Volume.
Classic Eyelash Extensions

Classic eyelash extensions are the most natural-looking option. This technique involves attaching a single extension to each natural lash, providing subtle length and volume. Classic lash extensions are usually slightly thicker than natural lashes, but not too thick, ensuring a natural mascara like effect.
Hybrid Eyelash Extension

Hybrid eyelash extensions combine both classic and volume techniques to provide a more textured and fuller look. The lash artist attaches a combination of single extensions and handmade fans of 2-4 extensions to each natural lash. The result is a slightly more dramatic look than classic extensions, but still natural-looking.

Volume Eyelash Extensions
Volume eyelash extensions can offer a bolder and more dramatic look than classic or hybrid extensions. This technique involves attaching fans of 3-6 ultra-fine extensions to each natural lash, providing a fuller and more voluminous look. The extensions used in volume lashes are much thinner than those used in classic or hybrid lashes, making them lighter and more comfortable to wear. Volume is also a great choice for those who have a thinner lash line. They will typically last longer in between fills because they are lighter and wrap around the natural lash.
Russian Mega Volume Eyelash Extensions
Russian Mega Volume eyelash extensions, using 6D-10D lashes, are the most voluminous and dramatic option available. This technique involves attaching a hand-made fan of up to 10 ultra-fine extensions to each natural lash. The extensions used in Russian Mega Volume are even thinner than those used in Volume lashes, usually between 0.05-0.07mm.

The result is an incredibly dense and full set of lashes, with a high level of curl and texture. Russian Mega Volume lashes are perfect for those who desire a highly dramatic, glamorous look that is well-suited for special occasions and events. However, it is essential to note that this technique requires highly skilled lash artists to create a safe and effective set of lashes.
When deciding on eyelash extensions, it's important to choose a certified and experienced lash artist who can guide you through the process and ensure the safety and health of your natural lashes. It's also essential to consider your natural lashes' thickness and health when choosing which type of eyelash extension to get.
In summary, understanding the differences between classic, hybrid, volume, and Russian Mega Volume eyelash extensions can help you make an informed decision about which type is best for your desired look and natural lash health. If you are unsure of which style to choose you can always consult with your lash artist on your desired effect and they can guide you to which style would work best for your desired look and natural lash line.
