Lash extensions can help you enjoy longer, fuller lashes and simplify your daily makeup routine. However, there are different styles to consider that offer various benefits. If you’ve decided to give this service a try, here’s a guide to the most popular options available.

Classic

With classic lash extensions, one false eyelash is added to each of your actual lashes. This doesn’t add a ton of extra volume, but it does make your current lashes look longer.

It also creates a very natural look, so it’s often the top choice for those who don’t want to make it look like they have any false lashes, along with those who enjoy fairly full lashes already but just want them to look longer or darker.

Hybrid

Hybrid lashes use a combination of the classic method, where one synthetic lash is added to each natural one, and the volume method, where a fan of multiple synthetic lashes is added.

The ratio of classic to volume lashes can vary, so you and your eyelash technician can work together to find the combination that achieves your desired look. This option usually adds extra fullness and length, while still maintaining a fairly natural appearance.

Volume

Volume lashes involve adding a fan of multiple lashes to each natural one. The exact number of synthetic lashes included in each bundle can vary depending on the look you want to create; some include just two, while others may add up to five.

This provides the most dramatic and full look of all the options. It’s often preferred by those who don’t have naturally thick lashes.
