Volume Lash Extensions

Professional Volume Lash Extensions

Create soft, fluffy or dramatically full lash sets with professional Volume lash extensions from London Lash. Our lightweight Volume lashes are designed for trained Lash Technicians creating handmade fans, allowing you to customize the density, texture and shape of every set.

Explore Volume lash trays in a choice of curls, lengths and fine thicknesses, including 0.03, 0.05, 0.06 and 0.07. Whether you are creating a light hybrid set, textured Volume lashes or a fuller Russian Volume look, choosing the right fiber will help you produce balanced fans suited to your client’s natural lashes.

What Are Volume Lash Extensions?

Volume lash extensions are lightweight individual fibers used to create handmade fans. Instead of attaching one extension to one natural lash, as with a traditional Classic treatment, the Lash Technician creates a fan from several fine extensions before applying it to one isolated natural lash.

The number of extensions in each fan can be adjusted to create anything from a soft, natural-looking Volume set to a fuller and more dramatic finish. The chosen fan size must always be balanced against the thickness, length and weight of the extensions and the condition of the client’s natural lashes.

Volume Lashes vs Classic Lashes

Classic and Volume lash extensions use different application techniques and produce different finished effects. Understanding the distinction will help you select the right treatment and products for your client.

Feature	Volume Lash Extensions	Classic Lash Extensions
Application method	Several fine extensions are formed into a fan and applied to one natural lash	One extension is applied to one natural lash
Typical fiber thickness	Fine fibers such as 0.03, 0.05, 0.06 or 0.07	Commonly uses thicker individual fibers
Finished effect	Soft, fluffy, textured or dramatically full	Clean, defined and natural-looking
Customization	Density can be adjusted through fan size, length, curl and lash mapping	Definition is adjusted through length, curl and extension thickness
Best suited to	Clients wanting greater density, softness or a customized textured effect	Clients wanting individual definition and a traditional mascara-style finish
Training required	Requires specific training in handmade fan creation and safe weight calculation	Requires professional Classic lash extension training

If your client prefers a defined one-to-one application, explore our Classic eyelash extensions.

Handmade Volume Fans vs Premade Fans

Handmade and Premade Volume fans can both be used to create fuller lash sets, but the products and application workflow are different.

Feature	Handmade Volume Fans	Premade Fans
How they are created	The Lash Technician forms each fan during the appointment	The fan is manufactured before the treatment
Customization	Fan width, density and number of fibers can be adapted during application	The fan size and structure are already established
Application speed	Fan creation requires additional time and an advanced technique	Can reduce treatment time because the fans are ready to apply
Best suited to	Technicians who want maximum control over fan construction and texture	Technicians who want consistent, ready-made fans and faster application

This collection is primarily intended for creating handmade Volume fans. Lash Technicians looking for ready-to-apply options can explore our Premade Volume Fans.

Choosing the Right Volume Lash Thickness

The correct thickness will depend on the desired fan size, extension length and strength of the client’s natural lashes. As the number of fibers in a handmade fan increases, each individual extension generally needs to become finer to keep the overall weight appropriate.

Thickness	Common Use	Considerations
0.03	Fine fibers for larger handmade fans and advanced Volume techniques	Requires confident fan creation and careful weight assessment
0.05	Suitable for a range of medium-to-full Volume styles	Fan size should be adapted to the natural lash and extension length
0.06	Useful for soft-to-full Volume sets and customized texture	A versatile option for trained Volume artists
0.07	Commonly used for smaller Volume fans and lighter Volume effects	Use fewer fibers than you would with finer extensions

This table provides general guidance rather than a universal fan formula. Lash Technicians should follow their professional training, assess every natural lash individually and check the specifications of the selected product before deciding on a safe fan size.

How to Choose a Volume Lash Curl

The curl you choose should complement the client’s natural lash direction, eye shape and desired style. This collection includes a broad selection of curls for creating both traditional and modern Volume lash maps.

Curl	Potential Styling Use
B Curl	A subtle lift that can complement straighter natural lashes and softer styling
C Curl	A versatile curl for soft, natural-looking Volume sets
CC Curl	Provides additional lift while retaining a rounded appearance
D Curl	Creates a stronger, more dramatic lifted effect
L and Extreme-L Curls	Useful for angular styling and clients with straight or downward-growing natural lashes
M Curl	Creates a lifted effect that can work well in modern and textured lash maps

The final curl must be appropriate for the client’s natural lashes. Avoid choosing a curl based solely on appearance, as an unsuitable bonding angle can affect attachment and retention.

Creating Textured Volume Lashes

Textured Volume lashes combine fans of different widths, lengths or densities to create visible peaks and a less uniform finish. This technique can be used for wispy, strip-lash-inspired and customized lash maps.

To create controlled texture, plan the lash map before application and decide where the longer spikes or denser sections will sit. The supporting fans should blend with these features without making the set appear uneven or placing excessive weight on the natural lashes.

Texture can also be introduced by combining handmade Volume fans with carefully selected Classic extensions. This approach is commonly used for hybrid sets, where individual lashes provide definition and Volume fans add softness and density.

Easy-Fanning Lashes for Volume Sets

Easy-fanning lashes are arranged to help the fibers separate and form fans more easily. They can be useful for Lash Technicians developing their speed or creating fuller sets efficiently, although professional Volume training and safe weight selection are still essential.

The ideal product will depend on your preferred fanning technique, desired fan width and level of experience. Always ensure that the base of the fan is controlled, narrow enough for secure attachment and free from excess adhesive.

How to Improve Volume Lash Retention

Volume lash retention depends on more than the lash tray itself. Correct preparation, fan construction, adhesive choice, attachment and aftercare all contribute to the finished result.

Thoroughly cleanse and prepare the natural lashes before application.
Choose a professional lash adhesive suited to your working speed, temperature and humidity.
Create a clean, controlled fan base that can attach securely to the natural lash.
Use only the amount of adhesive required for a secure bond.
Check that the fan is correctly attached without lifting or twisting.
Inspect the completed set carefully for stickies.
Give the client clear cleansing and aftercare instructions.

Volume Lash Extension FAQs

What are Volume lashes?

Volume lashes are fine eyelash extensions used to create handmade fans. Multiple lightweight fibers are formed into a fan before being applied to one isolated natural lash, creating greater density than a traditional one-to-one Classic application.

What is the difference between Volume and Russian Volume lashes?

Russian Volume refers to the technique of creating lightweight handmade fans from several fine extensions. “Volume lashes” is often used as the broader term for this treatment category. The exact density and fan size can vary according to the chosen style and the client’s natural lashes.

What are textured Volume lashes?

Textured Volume lashes combine different fan sizes, lengths or densities to create variation throughout the set. Longer peaks may be incorporated into the lash map to produce a wispy or more dimensional finish.

What thickness is best for Volume lashes?

Common professional Volume thicknesses include 0.03, 0.05, 0.06 and 0.07. The correct option depends on the intended fan size, extension length and strength of the natural lash. Finer extensions can be used when creating larger fans, but safe weight assessment remains essential.

Can beginners use Volume lashes?

Volume application requires dedicated professional training in fan creation, attachment and safe weight calculation. Lash Technicians should be confident in Classic isolation and placement before progressing to handmade Volume techniques.

Are easy-fanning lashes suitable for beginners?

Easy-fanning lashes can make it easier to separate fibers and form fans, but they do not replace professional Volume training. Technicians must still understand safe fan sizes, natural-lash assessment, adhesive control and correct attachment.

What is the difference between handmade and Premade Volume fans?

Handmade fans are created by the Lash Technician during the appointment, allowing the fan width and density to be customized. Premade fans are manufactured in advance and arrive ready to apply, which can help reduce treatment time.

Can Volume lashes be used in a hybrid set?

Yes. A hybrid lash set combines individual Classic extensions with Volume fans. The balance between the two techniques can be adapted to create a soft, natural result or a fuller and more textured finish.

How many lashes should be in a Volume fan?

The number of fibers must be determined by their thickness and length, along with the health and strength of the client’s natural lash. There is no single fan size suitable for every client or every Volume product. Follow your professional training and the manufacturer’s guidance.

How long do Volume lash extensions last?

Volume extensions shed with the client’s natural lash cycle. Retention varies according to natural lash growth, preparation, adhesive performance, application, lifestyle and aftercare. Regular infill appointments are normally required to maintain the density of the set.

How should clients care for Volume lashes?

Clients should cleanse their lashes daily with a suitable lash shampoo, avoid picking or pulling the extensions and brush them gently with a clean lash wand. Regular cleansing helps prevent oils, makeup and debris from building up around the fans and lash line.
