A lash technician's secret weapon for
providing clients lush and voluminous lashes is hybrid mix lashes extensions.
In this article, we'll go over all there is to know about this style of lash
extensions and how to do a hybrid mix set for new lash techs.
Main characteristics of hybrid mix eyelashes
The following is the three most crucial traits of hybrid mix eyelashes:
Ratio:
The ratio of one extension to one natural lash
is used in classic lashes, whereas the ratio of several extensions to one
natural lash is used in volume lashes. As a result, the density of the hybrid
mix lashes can differ between the two styles, depending on the appearance you
wish to achieve.
In a hybrid mix set, eyelash technicians often intend for a 50-50 or 30% classic and 70% volume ratio. Clients are frequently asked if they want fluffy lashes in the corners or the middle by lash technicians. Each choice results in a unique appearance. For example, when you use volume extensions in the middle, you will get an open-eye look. And applying volume to the inner and outer corners of your eyes will look to shape and taper your eyes.
Thickness:
The thicknesses of a hybrid mix lash set vary since it includes the thicknesses of both classic and volume sets. For classic lashes, thicknesses of 0.07 mm, 0.10 mm, or perhaps even 0.15 mm are appropriate, while thicknesses of 0.03 mm and 0.05 mm are suitable for volume lashes. Furthermore, on hybrid sets, lash artists often utilize no more than 4D fans. It would be best to use only 2D and 3D eyelash extension techniques. You can achieve the most significant effect with 2D and 3D volume eyelashes. Eyelash extensions that are too thick should never be used.
Length:
In general, 5-9mm extensions are used for the inner corners and under eyelash extensions, while 9-13mm lashes are used for the main of the set. Some artists combine lengthier lengths from 14mm or longer lashes to create a hybrid volume appearance.
Why should you offer hybrid mix lashes?
Hybrid
mix lashes have a number of benefits:
- Not too basic, not too dramatic: Hybrid mix lashes are feathery and textured for every eye shape, creating a natural look with a bit of drama.
- Combine the best of both styles: Your clients will get volume and length in one application with the hybrid style. It combines fullness with exquisite texture. Hybrid lashes are an ideal option if your clients want a thick and full classic set.
- A nice approach to test before getting mega volume: If your clients don't want to obtain mega volume instantly or believe it hides the naturalness of their lashes, the hybrid is a fantastic option. Hybrid is an excellent alternative if they're displeased with classic lashes, see spaces between them, or their workplace won't allow them to wear a strong style like volume lashes.
- Ideal for those who have lash issues: Hybrid can be used by people who have thick, thin, sparse, or weak lashes. Hybrid lashes are a healthier choice for your customer's eyelashes if they have sparse lashes and want a striking look.
Hybrid eyelash mapping
One of the most fundamental parts of applying lashes is mapping. Here's a step-by-step approach to mapping hybrid mix lashes. You can divide the lash line into five sections and start from the inner corner of the eye.
The
first section
Concentrate on highlighting the area where the natural eyelashes appear thin or sparse in the first part. It would be best to do this with fans in a method that makes it appropriate for each customer.
The
second section
The natural lashes in this region are probably a little thicker than in the previous one, but they still need extra aid to look nicer. In this section, add more lashes than you did in the first. Instead, use two-thirds of fans and one-third of classic lashes.
The
third section
This section looks a lot like the second one. However, because the natural lashes are likely to be thicker here, you may not require as many artificial lashes. Stick to two-thirds of fans and one-third of classic lashes.
The
fourth section
Mix volume and classics as needed to achieve the gorgeous wispy effect you're striving for. The client's lashes will entirely determine this.
The
fifth section
Because this part typically needs to be bulked up, you should switch to 1/3 volume fans and 2/3 classic lashes. Finally, to accentuate the best effect, you can fill in any spaces or sparse areas and create a wispy effect your customer will enjoy.
You now have a basic understanding of creating a hybrid mix set. We hope that these recommendations will help you keep your customers satisfied with hybrid mix lashes.
You can use the lash maps that you would use for a classic and volume set for a lashes hybrid set. It is essential to plan out your settings to achieve a unified look. Poor planning of hybrid lash sets without mapping may result in an inconsistent eyelash extension.
