HOW TO CHOOSE EYELASH SIZE FOR CLASSIC EYELASH EXTENSIONS
Classic eyelash extensions are extensions of 1 fake strand on 1 real lash, so they create the most natural lashes possible. They will help your lashes look longer and curlier than your real lashes, and will not thicken lashes for those with thin lashes.
Classic eyelash extensions are suitable for customers who love naturalness, daily use, and customers with weak, sensitive lashes.
How to choose eyelash parameters for classic eyelash extensions: Regarding eyelash thickness, there are 3 parameters: 0.10, 0.12, 0.15. The larger the number, the thicker the lashes.
- 0.10 lashes with low thickness: when using this size of classic lashes, you must attach all the fibers to make the lashes look thicker and darker. But its advantage is that it is for customers with very weak lashes or are afraid of heavy eyes, like natural lashes and have medium to much real lashes.
- 0.12 lashes with medium thickness: still ensure naturalness, but will have thicker thickness and save more effort on eyelash extensions than 0.10 lashes.
- 0.15 lashes with thick thickness: for customers with strong, hard lashes, suitable for customers who like thick lashes or European customers.
Regarding the curvature, when applying classic lashes, customers need lashes that are curlier and longer than real lashes, while still ensuring naturalness, so you should choose lashes with curvature C and D as the most suitable. Curvature C is for customers who like medium curl, curvature D is for customers who like a lot of curl.
As for the length, you need to choose the corresponding length of real eyelashes and the customer's wishes. When connecting, it is necessary to leave 1-2 mm from the base of the eyelashes, so you need to calculate and choose the appropriate length of eyelashes. With classic eyelashes, do not connect them too long, it will look fake and obstruct the customer's vision.
HOW TO CHOOSE EYELASH SIZE FOR VOLUME EYELASH EXTENSIONS
Unlike Classic eyelash extensions, Volume eyelash extensions no longer bring naturalness and gentleness, but instead bring thick, attractive, and impressive curled eyelashes. And Volume eyelashes also have many styles with different eyelash extension techniques such as fishtail eyelashes, cat-eye eyelashes, Katun eyelashes, black rose eyelashes, angel eyelashes...
Volume eyelash extension technique is to use 1 eyelash fan (consisting of many eyelash extensions gathered together, the tips of the eyelashes spread out like a fan) attached to a real eyelash. Therefore, it is possible to increase the thickness and optimal curvature of the eyelashes for girls with thin, sparse eyelashes. And Volume eyelashes will bring impressive, individual eyes to the owner.

Regarding thickness, because Volume lashes use many lashes together to form a fan of lashes, the thickness of the lashes will be thinner than Classic lashes. You should choose small parameters, with thin silk lashes to avoid making your eyes heavy, thick lashes create an uncomfortable feeling for customers.
Normally, you should choose lashes with a thickness of about 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 to create a fan
- 0.03 thin silk lashes: used to connect Volume lashes from 6 strands or more (6D, 7D, 8D, 9D ...). This type of lashes is for customers who like thick but weak lashes, want to make their eyes lighter. 0.03 eyelash extension technique also requires more meticulousness and patience.
- 0.05 medium thin lashes: for customers with average lashes, and helps save time for eyelash extension technicians, used to make fans of lashes that do not have many strands.
- 0.07 slightly thick lashes: for customers who like thick, bold styles, customers with strong lashes. Using this size of lashes will quickly cover the lashes.
- In addition, 0.10 lashes are also used for foreign customers, but are only suitable for fan lashes smaller than 5D.
The curvature is similar to Classic lashes, level C is for customers who like medium curls, D is for customers who like a lot of curls.
For fan lashes (number of lashes for 1 bunch), you can mix from 3 to 10 strands depending on the type of lashes and the desired effect: (1D corresponds to 1 lash)
- 3D 4D lashes create a medium effect, moderate thickness
- 5D lashes create a slightly thick effect, for customers who like bold extensions or sparse lashes
- 6D 7D 10D lashes create a thick and bold effect, only used to emphasize the tail or for foreign customers
Regarding the length of the eyelashes when connecting Volume, it will be flexible, because you can use eyelashes up to 14 long to make eyelash pillars or connect at the tail as an accent. Or the short length of the eyelashes can be interlaced.
When entering specific practical applications, you will understand how to choose eyelash parameters for Classic eyelash extensions and Volume eyelash extensions more clearly. The above is a general theory for the cases, so that you do not hesitate when choosing the type of eyelashes. Because depending on the experience and actual eye condition of the customer, the eyelash extension technician will be more flexible.
