Are you looking to add a dramatic touch to your look? If so, you’ve probably heard of eyelash extensions. But did you know there are several different types of lash extensions? It can be a long process to decide which is right for you, from classic lashes to hybrid and volume sets. So let’s break down the differences between classic and hybrid lashes to help make that decision easier.
What are Classic Lash Extensions?
Classic lash extensions are the most traditional form of eyelash extensions. These sets involve applying for one extension on each natural lash; they are applied individually and create a subtle yet beautiful look. This lash set is perfect if you’re starting or want a more natural look. It is also great for those looking to add volume and length without going too dramatic.
The Benefits of Classic Lashes
Classic lashes are perfect if you want a subtle, natural look. They are incredibly lightweight and comfortable, making them ideal for everyday use or special occasions. If your natural lashes are sparse or short, classic extensions can give an extra boost of length and fullness, instantly transforming your overall look.
What Are Hybrid Lash Extensions?
Hybrid lash extensions are a classic volume set combination. This set involves one-by-one placements and two to four light flares (2D to 4D) that provide maximum fluffiness and curl. Hybrids are the perfect option for those wanting a full and voluminous look without investing in a full-volume set. Read more about the ultimate guide to hybrid lashes.
The Benefits of Hybrid Lashes
Hybrid lashes are the ideal choice if you’re looking for both length and thickness. Not only do they give your eyes an instantly fuller effect, but they also provide that extra bit of drama with more curl and fluffiness. These sets involve creating clusters on each natural lash, which can also help them stay put longer while maintaining a lightweight feel.
Classic vs Hybrid: What’s The Difference?
When it comes to classic vs hybrid lashes, there are several differences between the two types of lash extensions. Classic sets apply one extension to each natural lash, resulting in a more subtle look. On the other hand, hybrid sets involve one-by-one placements and two to four light flares that provide maximum fluffiness and curl; this is great for those wanting a dramatic yet complete look.
Which Is Right For Me?
The right set of eyelash extensions depends entirely on what kind of look you’re seeking. Classic lashes are the way to go if you want something more natural and lightweight. But hybrid lashes may be better if you’re looking for an eye-catching effect with added length and thickness while looking natural. Ultimately it boils down to preference - so make sure to find the lash style that works best for you.
Knowing the differences between classic and hybrid sets can be helpful if you consider getting eyelash extensions. Classic lashes are perfect for those seeking a more natural look, while hybrids provide length and thickness with extra fluffiness and curl. Ultimately, it’s all about finding the right fit - so make sure to choose what makes you feel fabulous.
