What Are Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions

Why Russian Volume Lashes Are Different

Russian volume eyelash extensions are a popular choice for achieving fuller, fluffier or more dramatic lashes while still maintaining a lightweight and natural feel. They allow for a soft, multi-dimensional look that many women love because they add both length and volume without looking overdone.

Why Russian Volume Lashes Are Different

Unlike classic lash extensions, Russian volume lashes use ultra-fine extensions that are much thinner than traditional lashes. Typically, they range from 0.03mm to 0.10mm in thickness, compared to classic extensions, which are usually 0.15mm to 0.20mm. These finer lashes are designed for multi-lashing, meaning multiple extensions are applied to one natural lash without adding weight.

The material used for these lashes is called PBT fiber, which comes in two main varieties:

  • Faux mink lashes: These are soft, lightweight, less shiny, and designed to mimic the natural look of mink fur.
  • Silk lashes: These are darker, shinier, and give a more dramatic appearance.

How Russian Volume Extensions Are Applied

The application technique for Russian volume lashes is similar to that of classic lash extensions. Each natural lash is isolated, and the extensions are applied to one natural lash at a time. However, the key difference lies in the lash fan creation. Using tweezers, the technician carefully fans out multiple lashes (typically between 2D to 6D) and applies them as a “fan” to each individual natural lash. The result is a soft, fluffy look that can be customised based on how many extensions are used in each fan.

Proper fan creation is essential for achieving a beautiful, lightweight effect. Poorly made fans can cause lashes to look heavy or clumpy, so it’s important that each fan has evenly spaced extensions

Customising Your Lash Look with Different Fans

One of the best parts of Russian volume lashes is the ability to customise your look. The fullness of your lashes can be tailored based on how many lashes are used in each fan:

  • 2D fans: Two extensions per natural lash, perfect for a light, natural look.
  • 3D and 4D fans: For a denser, medium-thickness effect with three or four extensions per lash.
  • 6D fans or more: Ideal for those seeking a fuller, more glamorous lash set.

Choosing the Right Curl and Thickness

Russian volume lashes come in various curl types and colours to suit your preferences. The curlier the lash, the more lift it will add to your eyes:

  • B curl: A subtle, natural-looking curl.
  • C curl: More noticeable, adding a slight lift.
  • D curl: A dramatic curl that creates a bolder look.
  • L, L+, LC, and LD curls: Specialised curls that provide more lift and shape for unique eye styles.

You can also choose from classic black, brown, or opt for more daring colors like pink or blue for a bold, playful look.
