Hybrid eyelash extensions are hot. What are they, and why are they so popular? How do they look? This article will guide you to know all of them. Let’s begin our journey.
What are hybrid eyelash extensions?
Hybrid eyelash extension is a mix of classic eyelashes and volume eyelashes. The ratio for volume lashes are from 1:2 to 1:10. The popular hybrid sets are 50/50, 40/60, and 30/70 volume to classic lash extensions. Hybrid lashes will give fuller than the classic lash set but not as much fullness and drama as the volume lash set. And they can easily become wispy hybrid lash extensions if you add longer lengths of classic lashes.
Hybrid lashes vs classic
Classic eyelash extensions are one false lash extension applied to one natural lash. That’s 1:1 ratio lash tech. Classic lashes could extend the length of natural lashes and add thickness. This lash tech gives clients a very natural looking.
Hybrid lashes are a mixture of classic lashes and volume lashes. They could achieve various lash sets by combining these two lash techs.
Hybrid lashes vs volume
Volume lash extensions are grabbing 2-5 (or more)false eyelashes to create a fan first, then applying to one natural lash hair. Volume lashes offer a fuller and more dramatic look, while hybrid lashes are more fluffy and textured.

Volume lashes:
You can use premium lash extensions in 0.03mm, 0.05mm in 6-10 fans, or 0.07mm in 3-5 fans.
Easy fan lash extensions are also an excellent choice for faster fanning, and the lash price is lower than regular volume lashes.
Another choice is premade volume fans. You can finish the hybrid lash extensions at two times the speed.
