How russian volume lashes differ from classic lash extensions?
Russian Volume Lashes involve applying multiple ultra-fine extensions to a single natural lash, creating a fuller and more voluminous appearance. In contrast, classic lash extensions adhere one extension to each natural lash, resulting in a more natural look.
The Russian Volume technique allows for the application of 2 to 6 lightweight extensions per natural lash, often referred to as 2D to 6D lashes, enhancing density and fluffiness.

What materials are best suited for russian volume lash extensions?
The ideal materials for Russian Volume Lashes are ultra-fine synthetic fibers, such as faux mink, due to their lightweight nature. These extensions typically range from 0.03mm to 0.07mm in thickness, allowing multiple extensions to be applied without overburdening the natural lash. The lightweight and soft texture of faux mink extensions contributes to a comfortable and natural feel for clients.
What are the key techniques for creating and applying volume fans in Rrussian volume lashing?
Creating volume fans involves fanning out multiple ultra-fine extensions and attaching them to a single natural lash.
Techniques such as the pinching method, glue dot method, and on-the-strip method are commonly used to craft these fans. Precision in fan creation and isolation of natural lashes are crucial to ensure proper attachment and longevity of the extensions.
What aftercare advice should be provided to clients to maintain the longevity of russian volume lashes?
Clients should be advised to avoid oil-based makeup removers and skincare products around the eye area, as oils can weaken the adhesive bond. Regular but gentle cleansing of the lashes with a lash-safe cleanser helps prevent debris buildup.
Clients should also avoid excessive rubbing or pulling of the lashes and consider scheduling infill appointments every 2-3 weeks to maintain the desired fullness and appearance.
