1:1 eyelash extensions vs. volume lashes: what’s the difference?

Hello dear eyelash professionals! 🌸

Eyelash extensions are an absolute must in every beauty salon. But which method is best for your customers? Today we take a closer look at two popular techniques: 1:1 eyelash extensions and volume eyelashes . Let's find out together which eyelash extension is the perfect choice for your customers.

What is 1:1 eyelash extension?

1:1 eyelash extension , also known as the classic method, is the traditional technique where a single artificial eyelash is applied to a natural eyelash. This method is ideal for clients who prefer a natural and elegant look.

Advantages of 1:1 eyelash extensions:

• Natural look: The 1:1 eyelash extension gives a subtle and natural look that subtly emphasizes the natural eyelashes.
• Ease of use: The technique is relatively easy to learn and requires less time than more complex volume methods.
• Suitable for everyone: This method is ideal for clients with many natural eyelashes as it enhances the existing volume.

What are volume eyelashes?

Volume lashes , also known as 2D, 3D, 4D or mega volume, is a newer technique where multiple ultra-fine artificial lashes are applied to a single natural lash. This results in a thicker and more voluminous look.

Advantages of volume eyelashes:

• More volume: Volume lashes offer a thicker and more voluminous look compared to the 1:1 method.
• Light and comfortable: Despite their voluminous appearance, the volume eyelashes are light and comfortable to wear.
• Longer durability: Due to the larger contact surface and better distribution of weight, volume eyelashes often last longer.

Application techniques

1:1 eyelash extension:

Applying the 1:1 eyelash extension is relatively straightforward. First, the natural eyelashes are thoroughly cleaned. Then the artificial eyelash is dipped into the glue and carefully applied to the natural eyelash. The glue dries quickly and ensures that the artificial eyelash adheres firmly to the natural eyelash.

Volume lashes:

Applying volume lashes requires more precision and practice. Several ultra-fine lashes are formed into a fan and then applied to a natural lash. It is important to use high-quality volume lashes and glue to achieve the best results.

Conclusion

Both 1:1 eyelash extensions and volume lashes have their own unique advantages and applications. If your clients prefer a natural look, the 1:1 method is the ideal choice. For those who want more volume and a more dramatic effect, volume lashes are perfect. With the high-quality products from WUM Germany, you can be sure that you will always achieve the best result.
