Your top eyelash extension questions answered 🔽
Eyelash extensions took a backseat in 2020-2021 when the lockdowns happened and beauty clinics were forced to shut doors, but the salon treatment has made quite the comeback since.
What’s the difference between classic lashes and Russian volume lashes? “The classic technique is when a single false lash is applied to a single natural lash,” explains Edy. “Russian volume is when more than one false lash is stuck on your natural eyelash; usually between 2-8. Russian layering – also known as ‘3D volume’ or ‘volume’ lashes – gives a more dramatic, full lash effect than a classic set.” She personally prefers the classic technique as it gives a more natural effect.
“I like to think of a good extension like a butterfly sitting on a branch . If you overload your lash with three or four heavy extensions, the branch might snap. Extensions should grow out naturally, which is why I’m careful not to overload the lash with a length of extension that would cause it to snap.”
