Whether you’re new to lashing or you have years of expertise, Russian Volume Lashes may be new to you and we’re here to give you the ultimate guide on this beautiful technique. In this post, we will cover the Russian Volume Lash technique and give you our best tips to create stunning results every time.
What are Russian Volume Lashes?
Also called 3D Volume lashes, Russian Volume Lashes originated in Russia, known for their meticulous handcrafted lashing artistry. This technique refers to 2 or more ultra, lightweight lashes being applied to the real lash. The benefit of this technique is that it creates full, high-volume lashes even if your client has spare, thin lashes.
What Supplies Do I Need to Create Russian Volume Lashes?
If you want to create perfect voluminous lashes, you will absolutely want the following:
- Mink, synthetic lashes in 0.03 – 0.10 thickness: Because you’re attaching multiple lashes per lash you need extremely fine and lightweight lashes to prevent the lashes from becoming too heavy.
- L Tweezers: L Tweezer feature a 90-120 degree angle at the tip making an “L” shape. The curve of the tweezers make it easy to open a fan and pick up multiple lashes with ease.
- High-quality glue: We recommend glue that has a high viscosity or is fast drying. A high-quality glue will make all the difference when it comes to lash retention.
- Tailor Lash Machine: The Tailor Lash Machine makes it easy to organize your lashes and pull up to 10 lashes in a second. No more struggling to pull multiple lashes.
Who Can Get Russian Volume Lashes?
The best part of this technique is that everyone can look stunning with these lashes. Unlike many other techniques, those with fine, brittle, or sparse eyelashes can benefit the most from this look.
What are the Benefits of Russian Volume Lashes?
Russian Volume Lashes have exploded in popularity for several key reasons:
- Fills in gaps between spare natural lashes
- Safer to use because they are lightweight and put less pressure on your lashes and follicles
- Adds natural darkness to lashes because they are thick and voluminous
- Creates a soft, fluffy look
How Does Russian Volume Lashes Differ Than Other Techniques?
Unlike a classic lash extension technique where 1 extensions is attached to a natural lash, Russian Volume Lashes feature multiple lashes fanned out to give the illusion of lush lashes. Because the lash fan wraps around the natural lash, the lash retention can last longer than classic lashes as well.
What is the Difference Between 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D Lashes?
This indicates the number of lash extensions being used on each individual fan. For example, 2D means 2 lashes whereas 6D means 6 lashes. Your set will look fuller with each additional lash added. Anything over 6D is considered a Mega Volume set.
