Page 22 - The Law of Lashes Ultimate Lash Ebook

One of the most important aspects when applying volume fans is to figure out
the safe weight and lash diameter to use on the client and what the
equivalence would be in classic lash application. Because of their extreme
lightness, it is difficult to measure eyelash weight. And consequently, lashes are
best measured according to diameter (or width) and length.

Weight and diameter are two different things.
For instance, 2 x .10 lashes are often mistaken to weigh
the same as 1 x .20 lash. This is a common misconception.
Here’s a better illustration: For example, these eyelash
extensions are made by the same company and with the
same materials.

The diagram shows a cross-section of individual eyelash extensions. The
biggest circle is a lash that has a diameter of .20mm, while the two smaller
ones are lashes that measure .10mm in diameter. All lashes here have the
same length. But notice that there’s a bit of negative space in the diagram, and
it is obvious that 2 x .10mm lashes would weigh less than 1 x .20mm lash.

For classic eyelash extensions, the safest and recommended lash diameters
would be 0.10, 0.12 and 0.15mm.
Volume lashes can be created with lash diameters of 0.07 and 0.05mm.
For mega-volume lashes, the recommended is 0.03mm.
How many volume lashes can
we use to make fuller fans? And
what’s their equivalent width in
classic lash extensions? We’ve
put together this helpful
diameter guide.

When choosing eyelash

extensions, always take into
consideration the length and
strength of your client’s natural
lashes. We make sure that our
lash extensions are safe and
would not, in any way, harm the
natural lash.
