Eyelash Extension Terminology – Lash Terms Explained in Plain English

Eyelash Terminology - Superstar Attraction Eyelash Extensions SydneySuperstar Attraction

Eyelash extensions are a great way to add length, volume, and definition to your lashes. However, lash terms can be confusing, especially if you are new to the world of lash extensions. In this post, we will cover the most common terms used for lash extensions. At Superstar Attraction here in Sydney, we love educating our clients, so they can feel confident (not confused) that they are making the right choice for their lashes. Ready? Then let’s dive in!

Basic Eyelash Terminology

Lash Tech

The word Lash Tech is short for Eyelash Technician and refers to a trained professional in the field of eyelash extensions. Our Sydney Lash Techs are all highly trained and have years of experience to provide you with the best possible result.

Falsies

Falsies is a term commonly used in Australia to describe false eyelashes or eyelash extensions, i.e. “I’m gonna get my falsies done at Sydney Town Hall this arvo.”

Faux Mink Lashes

Faux Mink lashes are modelled after real mink fur. They are the thinnest type of synthetic lashes available. As a result, they’re often used to add volume to your lashes.

Silk Lashes

Silk lashes are made using a synthetic material that is light and wispy like the threads of silk. They can be more natural looking than the traditional faux mink eyelashes.

Eyelash Extension

Refers to any type of eyelash extensions. There are different types of lash extensions, each designed to achieve a different result depending on your personal style and preferences.

Classic Lashes

This is the method where one lash extension is attached to one natural lash. This method is also known as 1 to 1 or 1:1. Classic lashes are perfect for clients who already have a lot of lashes, but want to add more length. Classic lashes tend to look more natural, as they follow your natural lash count.

Single Strip Lashes

This is simply another term for Classic Lashes where one lash extension is attached to one natural lash.

Volume Lashes

For Volume Lashes, multiple lashes are applied to one single natural eyelash, individually isolating one natural eyelash at a time using very thin tweezers. 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 then it’s described as 3D Lashes etc.

Volume lashes are lighter and fluffier, resulting in a more voluminous look. Volume lashes are perfect for those who don’t have a lot of natural lashes or experience bald spots.

Hybrid Lashes

Hybrid lashes are a combination of Classic and Volume lashes to create a fuller set for those with thin natural lashes or anyone looking for a denser classic set of lashes.

Types of Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are becoming increasingly popular in Australia for people wanting to add length, fullness, and volume to their eyelashes. There are many different terms used to describe eyelash extensions, so it’s important to know the difference between them before you decide if this is the right treatment for you.

Full Lash

A full lash is the highest grade of lash extension. These lashes are the fullest and the longest.

Half Lash

Half lashes are exactly what they sound like – half the length of a full lash.

Quarter Lash

Yep, you guessed it. These lashes are about a quarter (one-fourth) the length of a full lash.

Mini Lash

Mini lashes are the shortest grade of lash extension. These lashes are about one-eighth the length of a full lash.

Hybrid Lash

A hybrid lash is a combination of a full and a half lash. This type of lash is somewhere in between the full and the half lash. Combining the two can lead to a more natural and voluminous look.

Natural Lash

A natural lash is a lash that has not been professionally enhanced. The way your lashes look in their natural state.

Wispy Lash

Wispy lashes are achieved by combining individual lash extensions of different lengths. They look fluffy and feathery and give length as well as some volume to your natural lashes.

Filled Lash

Once you have a full set of eyelash extensions, you might choose to return to your eyelash salon periodically for eyelash infills. Lash extension fills are simply new lashes placed on natural lashes as the old ones are about to fall off.

Extended Lash

As you probably guessed, an extended lash is simply a lash that has been extended by a professional lash tech using eylash extensions.

Technical Lash Extension Terms

There are many lash extension terms that your lash tech may use during your treatment when communicating to you or to a team member. Knowing some of these more technical eyelash terms might be helpful, so you don’t feel left out.

Isolation

This is the process of separating a single natural lash from the rest of the
lashes on the lash line using tweezers

Clip

A clip holds individual lashes in place during application. It is made from metal or plastic and has teeth that grip the outer edge of each lash follicle for secure placement on the eyelid. Clippers are easy to remove once your appointment is complete.

Curl

Curl refers to the natural movement of individual lashes after they have been placed on your eyelid by an expert lash technician. Adding curl to your lashes allows for a more natural look when wearing Lash Extensions.

Band

A band is a piece of material used to hold individual lashes in place during application. It is usually made from silicone or rubber and can be fitted around each eye individually or as part of a full set of lash extensions.

Lash Line

The lash line is the edge of your upper or lower eyelid, from which your lashes grow.

Water Line

The Waterline is the point where both your upper and lower eyelids meet when you close your eyes.

Adhesive

Eyelash technicians use an adhesive to attach lash extensions to your natural lashes. This is a special type of glue purposely designed for skin contact.

Flares

Flares, also known as cluster lashes, are lashes that are grouped together into small bundles of 10-20 hairs. Flares are great if you are looking for a more customised result and to add drama to your look. Flares are also great for those with sparse lashes wanting to add more volume.

 

Eyelash extension techniques can include individual lash strips, sets, or even full-set procedures that require multiple visits over a period of several weeks or months. Prices for eyelash extension procedures vary depending on the type of service required and the skill of the technician. In Sydney, they generally range from around AUD $60-$300 per session.

The Top 6 Questions About Lash Extensions You’re Probably Asking Yourself

Eyelash Extensions - Questions You're Probably Asking Yourself - Superstar Attraction SydneySuperstar Attraction

Eyelash extensions have become increasingly popular in Australia in the last few years, and for good reason. They not only give you beautiful and long lashes, but they can also enhance your look dramatically. However, not everyone is familiar with eyelash extensions and the various options that are available. In this article, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about eyelash extensions.

How Do Lash Extensions Work?

Lash extensions are artificial lashes (either natural or synthetic) that are attached to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. This allows you to get long, voluminous lashes – even if your natural lashes are sparse and thin!

The results can last a few weeks and even longer if you look after your lashes well.

What Are The Benefits of Lash Extensions?

Lash extensions are a popular choice for Sydneysiders because they make their lashes appear long, full and lush. Lash extensions are a great way to add some extra volume and length to your natural lashes. By adding length, volume and thickness to your lashes, your eyes will appear more vibrant and dramatic.

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions include:

  • They can be used for any type of eye makeup and look you desire
  • They give your eyelashes added length, volume and intensity
  • They make your eyes really stand out
  • They offer protection from sun damage and dryness around the eyes

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?

Eyelash extensions, when applied properly, can last for a few months, however, typically they last about 2-4 weeks. That’s when we recommend you return to your favourite lash studio in Sydney CBD for some eyelash infills.

Some shorter extensions may need to be replaced sooner, while longer extensions can last a little longer. It also depends on how well you look after your lashes. The proper aftercare will help your lash extensions look great for longer.

To extend the life of your new lashes even further, we recommend using a silk pillowcases while sleeping to reduce friction between your lashes and your pillow. These silk pillowcases have proven very helpful in preserving your eyelash extensions. A silk eye mask is another great way to protect your lashes from falling out prematurely.

What are the risks associated with lash extensions?

Like with any beauty treatment, there are some risks that come with lash extensions. The most common risk is that the adhesive may not be applied correctly to hold the lashes in place. This can cause them to fall out prematurely, or they may look uneven. Incorrect application may also cause the lashes to become brittle and damaged.

A trained Eyelash Technician will have the experience required to achieve the desired result, all while keeping it safe and ensuring you love your new lashes.

Lash Tech Tip: If you have questions about your eyelash extensions check out our Lash Extension FAQs. And don’t hesitate to contact our team of Sydney Lash Experts to discuss your options with a professional.

What are the different types of Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions (also known as faux eyelashes, false eyelashes or falsies, as we say in Australia) are a popular beauty treatment where synthetic lashes are used to provide your natural lashes with more length and volume. There are three main types of eyelash extensions:

  1. Classic Lashes
  2. Volume Lashes
  3. Hybrid Lashes

Classic Lashes vs Volume Lashes vs Hybrid Lashes

Classic eyelash extensions are made from individual lash strips that are glued to the top of your existing lashes. Volume eyelash extensions are applied to the base of your existing lashes and then individual lash strips or spikes are added. Which type is right for you will depend on your desired look.

Tip: We recommend you check out our guide on Eyebrow Extension Terminology to familiarise yourself with some lash lingo.

Classic eyelash extensions tend to be more natural looking than volume eyelash extensions while volume eyelash extensions deliver more dramatic results. At Superstar Attraction in the Sydney CBD, we help you get clear on the look you are going for before your appointment so you can find the best option for you. This professional consultation is provided to you at no additional cost because we believe it’s important for you to know your options in order to be satisfied with the results.

Hybrid Lash Extensions are another popular option where a combination of classic and volume lashes are used for a more voluminous look.

Where Can I Find The Best Eyelash Extensions in Sydney?

There are many lash salons all over Sydney, but some places are better than others. Here are a few tips to help you find the best eyelash extensions:

  • Consider your budget. Are you willing to spend a little more money on quality lashes? Or do you want something cheaper that will still look good?
  • Consider the type of lash extension you want. There are several types available, including natural or synthetic lashes. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you’re not sure which type of lash extension is right for you, speak with a professional about what options are available to you.
  • Make sure to check out a salon’s online reviews before making an appointment. Different salons have different techniques and styles for creating eyelash extensions, so it’s important to get some feedback from actual customers to ensure it’s a good fit for you.

The Science Behind Eyelashes: Function, Growth, and Beauty

Microblading

What is the purpose of eyelashes?

Eyelashes act as a shield, helping to protect the eyes from debris, dust, and other foreign particles. They serve as a natural barrier, reducing the risk of eye infections and irritation. Eyelashes are highly sensitive and help trigger the blink reflex, closing the eyelids rapidly to prevent potential harm or damage to the eyes.

Eyelash Anatomy:

  • Structure: Each eyelash has a hair follicle embedded in the eyelid, and the lashes themselves consist of keratin, the same protein that makes up our hair and nails.
  • Length and Density: The length and density of eyelashes vary among individuals due to genetics, just like hair color or texture.
  • Growth Phases: Eyelashes have a growth cycle with three phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Understanding these phases can provide insights into the growth and maintenance of eyelashes.

Enhancing Eyelashes:

  • Mascara: Mascara is a popular cosmetic product used to enhance the appearance of eyelashes. It darkens, lengthens, and thickens the lashes, giving the eyes a more dramatic look.
  • False Eyelashes: False eyelashes are artificial lashes that are applied to the eyelid using adhesive. They come in various styles, lengths, and materials, offering a temporary way to achieve fuller and more voluminous lashes.
  • Eyelash Extensions: Eyelash extensions involve attaching synthetic lashes to natural lashes, providing a longer-lasting solution for enhanced lashes. Extensions can be customized to achieve desired length, curl, and thickness.

Eyelashes in the Animal Kingdom:

Unique Adaptations: Eyelashes are not exclusive to humans; many animals also have them. They serve similar protective functions and have evolved uniquely in different species. For example, camels have long, curved lashes that shield their eyes from sand and desert winds.

Eyelashes as Communication: In some animals, eyelashes play a role in communication. For instance, certain primates and felines use their eyelashes to communicate non-verbally, conveying emotions such as fear, aggression, or attraction.

Eyelash Care and Maintenance:

Healthy Habits: Proper eyelash care involves maintaining overall eye health by adopting good hygiene practices, such as regularly cleaning the lashes, avoiding excessive rubbing or pulling, and removing eye makeup gently.

Natural Remedies: Some individuals use natural remedies, such as castor oil or coconut oil, to promote eyelash growth or improve their appearance. While scientific evidence is limited, these remedies are popular due to anecdotal accounts of potential benefits.

Exploring the science, function, and beauty of eyelashes can be an exciting journey, offering insights into the uniqueness of our eyes and their role in our overall well-being.
