This beauty eyelash extension is a blend of the Classic, Volume, and Hybrid eyelash extensions. These extensions are artistically blended to create a desired Wispy look.
If you are new to the lash extension world, such terms may be alien to you.
A Brief Break Down
The Classic Eyelash extension is the most uncomplicated eyelash extension look as an extension is attached to a natural lash. In contrast, the Volume eyelash extension has more than 2 to 8 eyelash extensions fixed together to a single lash for that voluminous eye look.
Yes, the Hybrid is an excellent blend of both to give you length and volume at a go. But you see, the Wispy Eyelash Extensions is another ball game entirely, and it will require some good skill to nail the Wispy Look!
How To Nail The Wispy Eyelash Extension
The Wispy eyelash extension is a lot more demanding in skill as it requires a good knowledge of the other three lash extensions and good mapping of the extensions to nail that wispy look.
The wispy lash extension blends individual extensions and closed fans of lash extensions of different lengths, volumes, and curls.
The lashes are carefully glued across the lash length to give that fluffy look while considering the placement of each extension to length and curl. The most commonly used curls are the C, CC, and D curls in varied lengths.
Wispy Lash Extensions Are Known For Spikes
Spikes? Yikes! Not to worry, these spikes don’t hurt. That fluffy, feathery look is possible because of the longest lash extensions placed in particular corners of the eyes. Therefore, this Spiky look forms the first layer of our lash extensions.
A good Wispy lash extension fix has about 7-10 noticeable spikes placed from the inner to outer corners of the eyes. Attaching two lash extensions for a more defined look and avoiding noticeable gaps when one strand sheds off is always safe.
After The Spikes Come The Fill In’s
Once the Spikes are in place, it is time to fill in the gaps with either individual extensions or closed fan extensions. It all depends on the look to be created, and fill them in two’s to avoid gaps when one strand or fan is lost.
