The Difference Between Classic, Hybrid and Volume Lash Extensions

Ever wonder what the term classic, hybrid or volume lashes mean? Well, they are 3 different lash extension techniques that require specialized training and each technique has a unique look.

Classic: This style is the most common in the lash industry because it is the most simple and basic to apply. This application is known as 1:1 lashing which means the lash artists isolates a single natural lash and place 1 single extension to it. I apply an extension of varying lengths on every healthy natural lash that can support an extension. You can achieve different looks with different styling options for each client such as Dolly Face, Cat Eye, and Natural.

Hybrid: This is a combination of classic lashing and volume lashing. This is extremely popular technique in the Beauty Bar.

Volume: This technique requires technical professional training and certification. It is extremely difficult to do volume lashes properly. I have seen many lash artists do volume incorrectly which results in damaged lashes. However, done correctly, volume lashes is an excellent technique to achieve a more full lash line. They are much thinner than classic extensions but handmade into fans of multiples to be applied to 1 natural lash
