Classic vs Volume vs Hybrid Lashes – What Are The Best Eyelash Extensions?

When choosing the right eyelash extensions, it can be difficult to decide which type to choose. So, what are the best eyelash extensions? Classic, volume, or hybrid? Let us help you demystify lash extensions and decide which is the best for you.

Which type of eyelash extension is best for you also depends on your individual needs and desired style.

Classic extensions are ideal if you want long, thick lashes that look natural. Volume eyelash extensions use a different technique and usually use synthetic fibres to create more volume. They are also less natural looking, but provide more volume. Hybrid eyelash extensions combine both of these techniques to create any desired look.

Let’s look at each option in a little more detail.

Why Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions are a great way to enhance your natural lashes. If the lashes given to you by nature are a little short, lash extensions can be great to add length to them. You can also add volume for a more dramatic look using Volume Lashes. Or maybe you’d simply like to switch things up and try out a new style. Whatever the reason, at our Sydney Eyelash Boutique, we have an option for everyone.

Lash extensions are also a great addition for when you need professional makeup for prom night or other special occasions.

The difference between Classic, Volume & Hybrid Lash Extensions

What are Classic Lashes?

Classic eyelash extensions are the most traditional style providing you with a timeless, classic and natural look. They are made from either natural or synthetic lash fibres that are attached to your existing lashes. This method won’t add volume but add length and elegance to your natural lashes.

Classic Eyelash Extensions are applied in a ratio of 1:1, which simply means one extension is attached to one natural eyelash. They are great everyday lashes and a great option if you’re looking to simply add some length to your lashes. Classic lashes come in a thickness of 10-18mm, as well as in different styles and materials. Classic eyelash extensions take up to 1.5 to 2 hours.

Benefits of Classic Eyelash Extensions

• Natural-looking
• Added length
• Option to add extra curl to your lashes
• Accentuates and compliments your eye shape

What are Volume Lashes?

Volume lashes come in a variety of styles and lengths and can add length, volume, and curl to your natural lashes. Volume lashes can be used to create a fuller, more voluminous look.

Volume eyelash extensions – also called Russian Volume Lashes – is a technique where tiny fans of multiple lash extensions are applied to one single natural eyelash. Volume lashes use more but significantly finer hairs than used for Classic lashes (usually between 0.03mm and 0.07mm) and are therefore fluffier and lighter.

If two eyelash extensions are applied to one natural lash, it’s described as 2D lashes, if three eyelash extensions are applied to one natural eyelash, it’s described as 3D, and so on. The higher the dimension, the fuller the result.

Volume lashes are perfect for those of you Superstars who don’t have sparse lashes, experience bald spots or want to go for a more dramatic look without needing to use thicker lashes.

Benefits of Volume Eyelash Extensions

• More dramatic look
• Available in any desired volume & thickness
• Option to add extra curl to your lashes
• Great for special events where you really want your eyes to stand out

What are Hybrid Lashes?

Hybrid lashes are made up of a combination of both individual lashes and volume lashes creating a tailored lash design pattern that will maximise your lash line. It’s the best of both worlds: every bit of length and thickness you’ve always wanted, but with a touch of volume for added fullness! Hybrids are perfect for special occasions, or if you enjoy a more dramatic look on other days, too.

Benefits of Hybrid Eyelash Extensions

• Provides the added length of Classic Lashes with the fullness of Volume Lashes
• Option to add any desired curl and texture to your lashes
• Can be completely customised to suit your unique lash line and personal style

Which Lash Extensions are best for me?

While classic lashes provide an elegant timeless everyday look, volume lashes can enhance your lashes with added volume and texture. In recent years, our Sydney Eyelash Salon has definitely seen a large increase in volume lashing. More and more women are now seeking the voluminous fluttery look that volume lashes provide. So, if you are looking for something a little bold, why not try out different curls, textures and sizes and experiment a little to find your perfect style?
