If you're looking for a more dramatic lash look that adds volume and texture, Russian lash extensions may be just what you need. Russian lash extensions are a type of semi-permanent lash extension that can give you a fuller, more voluminous lash line. In this blog post, we'll go over everything you need to know about Russian lash extensions.
What are Russian lash extensions?
Russian lash extensions, also known as 3D lashes, are made up of several lightweight lashes that are grouped together to create a voluminous lash fan. The lashes used in Russian lash extensions are thinner than those used in classic lash extensions, which allows for more lashes to be applied without weighing down your natural lashes. This creates a fuller, more dramatic lash look.
How are Russian lash extensions applied?
Russian lash extensions are applied using a similar process to classic lash extensions. A trained lash artist will use a semi-permanent adhesive to apply the lash fans to your natural lashes. The process can take longer than classic lash extensions due to the increased number of lashes being applied, but the results are worth it.
How long do they last?
Like classic lash extensions, Russian lash extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them. It's important to avoid oil-based products around your eyes and to be gentle when washing your face to avoid damaging the lashes.
Are they safe?
When applied by a trained professional, Russian lash extensions are safe and won't damage your natural lashes. However, it's important to choose a reputable lash artist who uses high-quality products and follows proper sanitation protocols to minimize the risk of infection or allergic reactions.
How do I choose the right lash artist?
When choosing a lash artist for Russian lash extensions, it's important to look for someone who is trained and certified in this technique. Look for before-and-after photos of their work to ensure that their style matches what you're looking for. Read reviews from past clients and ask for recommendations from friends or family members to find a reputable lash artist.
In conclusion, Russian lash extensions are a great option for those looking for a more dramatic lash look. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for several weeks and won't damage your natural lashes. By choosing a reputable lash artist and following the aftercare instructions, you can enjoy beautiful lashes that will make you feel confident and glamorous every day.
How to make Russian Fans?
Step 1: Select the appropriate lashes
To make Russian fans, you'll need to start with high-quality, lightweight lashes that are specifically designed for this technique. These lashes should be ultra-thin and have a soft, flexible base for easy fanning.
Step 2: Prepare your tools
You'll need a pair of volume lash tweezers and a pair of straight tweezers for this technique. Make sure your tweezers are clean and sanitized before starting. You'll also need a lash tile or a similar surface to hold your lashes.
Step 3: Pick up the lashes
Using your volume lash tweezers, gently pick up several lashes at once from the lash tray. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or squeeze the lashes, as this can damage them.
Step 4: Create the fan
Use your straight tweezers to hold the base of the lashes firmly, and then use your volume lash tweezers or fingers to gently press the lashes together, forming a fan. The number of lashes you use will depend on the desired fullness and volume of the fan. For a beginner, start with 2-3 lashes per fan and gradually work your way up to more as you become more experienced.
Step 5: Secure the fan
Once you've created your fan, use your volume lash tweezers to dip the base of the fan into a small amount of lash adhesive. Be careful not to apply too much adhesive, as this can cause the fan to become too heavy and fall off the natural lash. Gently tap the base of the fan onto your lash tile to remove any excess adhesive, you don't want to have a bulb at the end of the fan which can cause the fan to spread on natural lashes and clump together.
Step 6: Apply the fan
Using your volume lash tweezers, carefully place the fan onto the natural lash, making sure the base of the fan is aligned with the base of the natural lash. Gently press down on the base of the fan with your tweezers to ensure a secure bond.
Step 7: Repeat the process
Repeat steps 3-6 to create and apply fans to all the desired natural lashes. Remember to alternate between eyes to ensure symmetry.
In conclusion, making Russian fans is a technique that takes practice and patience. By following these steps and using high-quality lashes, you can create beautiful, full, and voluminous lashes for your clients.
