Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions are the new trend in the eyelash industry. They started in Russian in 2010. They have spread across the globe as many people desire full, luminous lashes instead of just long eyelashes. The classic eyelash extensions added length, but did not add fullness, which is what a lot of people need. If you have very few natural lashes, adding classic extensions can help but volume is what you need. Full lashes look much more natural than just having length alone. Full lashes make it look like you were born with them, rather than that you had them applied.
Difference Between Classic Eyelashes and Russian volume eyelash extensions
The classic eyelash extensions add length to the natural eyelash. They make the lashes more noticeable by extending their length and adding a darker color to the lash. Classic lash extensions are known to be a bit heavier than Russian Volume lashes. They can weigh down the natural eyelash and potentially cause damage to the lash. They may fall off much sooner as well, requiring a fill in much sooner.
Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions use a different technique that adds fullness to the eyelash. They improve the texture and volume of the lashes. Many people have very thin natural lashes or very few lashes and they need some way to add fullness to them. Before this new technique was developed that only way a technician could deal with thin, sparse lashes was to apply a heavier, thicker single lash, which looks unnatural. This would cause natural lashes to become too heavy.
Volume lashes are where two up to 6 light weight, thin lashes are combined and added to one natural lash. The lashes are fanned out to add volume to each natural lash, rather than just adding length. The weight of the volume lashes is usually less than a classic single extension. You can have 2 lashes combined, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Obviously, having the maximum of 6 will increase the overall weight of each lash. If your lashes are very thin, you may want to use only 2 or 3 lash combinations.
Benefits of Russian Volume Lashes
The Russian volume eyelash extensions help fill in the gaps between sparse natural lashes that classic extensions could not do. The volume lashes create a fluffy, softer look to the lashes. They have been reported to cause less damage to the natural eyelash, because of the lighter weight. Many people think that more volume means more adhesive, but this is also a misconception about the new lashes. The new lashes require only a small fraction of that which was used with previous extension techniques. The new lashes look darker than classic sets also, adding a richer look to your lashes.
Obviously, another major benefit is how they make you look and feel. You can get up in the morning and without having to apply any makeup, can look pretty good. Having the dark lashes, you never have to use mascara again. If you are just running a few errands and you don’t want to do a full makeup job, you know that you will still look fabulous because you have your eyes on. When you do decide to do full makeup, you will look like a movie star with your dark, full lashes.
How Much More Volume Can You Expect?
You can decide how much volume you want. You have 8 levels of volume to choose from. The lashes start at the 2D level, where two lashes are combined and attached to each natural lash. They go all the way up to 8D lashes per one natural lash. You can select the level of volume you desire. Just be sure that the level you select is appropriate for the strength of your natural lashes. A good technician can help you determine this level.
Details About Russian Volume Lash Extensions
Most people claim that it can take up to two hours to apply a full set of lashes. After you get used to having them put on, you may find that you fall asleep during the process. There is no pain or discomfort associated with the application process.
The lashes should last for 4 to 6 weeks before you need to have them refilled. Many people wonder about getting them wet. It is a good idea not to get them wet within the first 24 hours, as the adhesive needs to dry fully. After that, you can get them wet and they should not be damaged. Many people do use more caution while showering, in order to keep them on for a longer period of time. It is a good idea to avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can pull lashes off.
volume lashes do less damage to your natural eyelashes than the classic lash extensions do, because they are lighter weight and they use less adhesive than older versions do. It is highly recommended that you find a technician who is experienced applying Russian Volume Lashes. If you go to someone who does not have a good reputation or is new at the process, you may not get good results. Ask the shop or technician how long they have been doing the applications. You can also ask your friends for referrals to a qualified technician. Just use caution until you find someone you are satisfied with.
It is best not to go for cheap salons to get your new lashes applied. As they will last for 4 to 6 weeks, plan to pay for a good job. Some shops that offer the service may have coupons or discounts to get you started. The initial application is the most expensive, but the regular fill-ins are less, so keep up with them so you don’t have to start over from the very beginning. Once you get you new lashes, you won’t want to be without them. Most people claim they feel naked without their lashes once they get used to them.
