How to Make Hybrid Lashes

Applying hybrid lashes requires a skilled lash technician who can strategically alternate between placing classic lashes and volume fans. This ensures a balanced and cohesive look that enhances the natural beauty of the eyes while providing added volume and length.

Step-by-Step Process:

Preparation:

Client Consultation: Discuss the desired look with your client. Determine the appropriate length, curl, and thickness of the lashes.

Cleanse Lashes: Clean the client’s natural lashes using a lash cleanser to remove any makeup, oil, or residue.

Prime Lashes: Apply a lash primer to ensure better adhesion of the extensions.

Isolate Natural Lashes:

Use an eyelash extension pad or tape to secure the lower lashes and prevent them from interfering with the application process. Use isolation tweezers to separate a single natural lash from the rest.

Apply Classic Lashes:

Dip a classic lash extension (one individual lash) into the adhesive.

Carefully place the classic lash extension on an isolated natural lash, about 1-2mm from the lash line to avoid irritation.

Repeat this process, spacing out the classic lashes across the lash line. Typically, you might apply classic lashes to every second or third natural lash.

Apply Volume Lashes:

Create or select a volume fan (2D-6D depending on the desired fullness).

Dip the base of the volume fan into the adhesive.

Place the volume fan on an isolated natural lash, ensuring it bonds well.

Continue applying volume fans in between the classic lashes, filling in the gaps. The density and pattern can be adjusted based on the desired look.

Balancing and Adjusting:

Alternate between applying classic and volume lashes to achieve a balanced, cohesive look.

Ensure the extensions are evenly distributed across the lash line, providing a textured and voluminous appearance.

Curing the Adhesive:

Use a nano mister or a small fan to help cure the adhesive and reduce any potential irritation from the adhesive fumes.

Final Check and Adjustments:

Check the lashes from different angles to ensure they are evenly applied and there are no gaps.

Gently brush through the lashes with a mascara wand to ensure they are not sticking together and look uniform.

Aftercare Instructions:

Advise your client on proper aftercare to extend the life of the lash extensions. This includes avoiding water and steam for the first 24-48 hours, not using oil-based products near the eyes, and gently cleaning the lashes regularly.
