What are lash lengths?
Lash lengths is the term used in the eyelash extension industry to refer to the length of false eyelashes. When applying eyelash extensions, we can use different lash extension lengths to create different effects and styles for the eyelashes. Lash lengths are typically measured in millimeters or inches and can come in all sizes from 3mm to 22mm. The choice of eyelash lengths depends on the customer’s preferences and the eyelash artist’s wishes.
Lash Extension Length Chart
- Short eyelash extension length: 3-8mm. This length is suitable for connecting eyelashes to the inner corner of the eye and creating the most natural eyelash extension style.
- Average eyelash extension length: 9-12mm. This is the most popular lash length, suitable for applying eyelash extensions in the middle and outer corners of the eyes, and especially suitable for customers with average or short natural lash length.
- Long eyelash extension length: 13-16mm. This is quite a long length of eyelash extensions that you will use. Suitable for applying eyelash extensions to the middle and outer corners of the eyes of customers with naturally long eyelashes.
- Very long eyelash extension length: 17-22mm. These extremely long lash lengths should only be used on clients with naturally long and healthy lashes who prefer a strong, individual lash look.
- Super long eyelash extension length: 23-30mm. Some actors, models, and singers may try experimenting with these lengths of eyelash extensions to create attractive and impressive eyes, but applying this length of lash extensions to natural eyelashes will not be helpful in your current job. These types of eyelashes are very suitable for use in painting festivals or cosplay characters,…
How do lash extensions for different lengths?
To get eyelash extensions with different lengths, follow these steps:
- Step 1. Clean eyelids: Make sure the client’s eyelids are clean and free of residual cosmetics or oils. Place gel eye pads on the skin under the lower eyelids or use Microfoam Tape to protect the lower eyelids and eye skin.
- Step 2. Choose the appropriate length, thickness, and curl of eyelash extensions: Choose eyelash extensions with the desired length, length, and curl based on customer preferences and natural eyelash conditions. Eyelash extensions with short lengths, such as 4-6mm, are suitable for extensions on the lower eyelashes, eyelash extensions lengths from 7-15mm help create a natural beauty for the eyes, while eyelash extensions with longer lengths of 15mm or longer will help create a more prominent and attractive eye effect.
- Step 3. Fix each natural eyelash: Use eyelash separator tweezers to fix a specific natural eyelash to apply eyelash extensions, making sure no natural eyelashes stick together.
- Step 4. Dip the eyelash extensions into the glue: Dip the base of the eyelash extensions (lashes/lash fans/spikes) into the glue, making sure to only use a small amount enough to avoid using too much glue on the real eyelashes.
- Step 5. Apply eyelash extensions: Carefully place each eyelash extension or fan on a natural eyelash that has been fixed above, about 1-2 mm from the base of the customer’s real eyelash. Hold the eyelash extensions there for a few seconds so that the glue sticks to the real eyelashes.
- Step 6. Repeat the process of applying eyelash extensions to real eyelashes: Continue to connect each eyelash or fan lash to each natural eyelash according to the steps above, you should apply eyelash extensions from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer corner of the eye. Adjust the lash lengths and style to suit the customer’s wishes.
- Step 7. Check the symmetry of eyelash extensions and lashes: Regularly step back and evaluate the symmetry and balance of each lash fan/lash when applied to natural lashes. Carefully inspect the lashes to ensure they are in place, are evenly arranged, and look aesthetically pleasing. Adjust eyelash extensions/fans if necessary to ensure uniform, thick and natural eyelashes.
- Step 8. Care instructions after eyelash extensions: Provide customers with instructions on how to care for eyelash extensions after eyelash extensions, including avoiding contact with water within the first 24 hours, eyelash care products, and gently clean lashes every day.
How to choose a Lash Extension Length suitable for each type of eyelash extension?
Choosing the length of eyelash extensions is an important part of ensuring that the eyelash extension result will reflect each person’s style and preferences. Below are three important criteria that directly affect the decision to choose the appropriate lash extension length for each type of eyelash extension that the customer desires:
Suitable for each eyelash extension method
In the current eyelash extension industry there are many different eyelash extension techniques and methods. However, there are 5 most popular eyelash extension methods:
- Classic eyelash extension: a false eyelash is connected to a real eyelash.
- Volume eyelash extensions: many false eyelashes on the eyelashes (from 2D – 6D) are connected to one real eyelash.
- Mega Volume eyelash extensions: a large number of false eyelashes (7D or larger eyelashes) are connected to one real eyelash.
- Hybrid eyelash extensions: a combination of classic and volume eyelash extension methods.
- Wispy eyelash extensions (slender, gentle eyelash style): use volume lash fans to attach to each natural eyelash and combine adding spikes to the eyelashes to create a highlight for wet and cute eyes.
Based on these eyelash extension methods, eyelash extension artists can advise customers on choosing the eyelash extension method that suits their desires and needs. In addition, it is also based on the characteristics of natural eyelashes such as long eyelashes, short eyelashes, weak eyelashes, sparse eyelashes, etc. From there, it helps the eyelash extension artist choose the most suitable lash lengths for customers according to the eyelash extension method they desire.
Suitable for each type of eyelash extension
There are many different eyelash extension styles for customers to choose from, including natural eyelashes, cat eye eyelashes, doll eyelashes, fox eyelashes, Squirrel eyelashes, and K-Kim eyelashes (eye style in the style of actress Kim Kardashian). These eyelash styles all create differences in the shape, length, thickness, and curve of the eyelashes, to highlight and enhance the customer’s eyes.
Depending on the customer’s preferences and eyelash extension style, they will choose the desired eyelash extension style such as natural, cat-eye, baby Doll, Fox-eye, Squirrel, K-Kim,… The mission of eyelash extension technicians is to advise and help customers choose the type of eyelash extension that best suits their preferences and needs. After that, we will prepare to choose eyelash extensions with the appropriate length, thickness, and curvature to perform eyelash extensions for customers.
Suitable for Lash mapping layers
After choosing the eyelash extension style and eyelash extension method that suits each eye shape, the customer’s preferences and needs are according to the two criteria above. Eyelash extension technicians will create an eyelash extension chart and select the appropriate eyelash length to practice eyelash extensions according to the created eyelash extension chart, with the goal of helping eyelash extensions achieve the expected results.
Eyelash extension charts usually only have one or two layers, however, with the constant creativity of eyelash extension artists, they have created many beautiful and impressive eyelash extension styles thanks to more multi-layer eyelash extension charts. This is the process of determining the eyelash extensions according to each layer on the real eyelashes, helping the eyelash artist determine the exact position and length of the eyelash extensions, extension fans, and spikes,… This process helps The eyelash extension artist have a specific and reasonable plan on how to position and connect the eyelashes accurately and scientifically, to bring the highest efficiency and naturalness to the eyelash extensions.
Lash mapping layers are directly related to the distribution of length, thickness, and curl of false eyelashes in each area of the eyelashes. Therefore, this will also be an important criterion to help eyelash extension artists choose the appropriate eyelash extension size for each type of eyelash extension.
