Eyelash Extension Kit: Volume Edition - Everything You’ll Need to Create Flawless Volume Lash Sets
So, you’re about to get started with creating Volume lashes, which is exciting, right? But let’s be honest, the sheer number of options can be a bit overwhelming. Don’t worry, though! One way to simplify things is by grabbing a ready-made kit that’s packed with everything you need. But if you’re the type who likes to pick out your own goodies, we’ve put together a list of must-haves to get you started on the right foot.
Choosing the Right Volume Tweezers
Before we even discuss the lashes, it’s crucial to pick a pair of tweezers designed specifically for Volume lashes. Trust us, having the right pair is crucial. Volume lash tweezers are sturdier and specially designed to pick up those finer lash extensions. Plus, every pair of our volume tweezers has been hand-tested by our in-house Lash Experts, so you’re guaranteed the best grip for fans of all sizes, no matter what fanning technique you’re using.
You’ve got a few options depending on your preference and the size of the fans you’re working with. We even have fiber grip tweezers that make gripping fans even easier. But before you commit, it’s a good idea to check out this blog post for more details on what might work best for you!
Which Lashes Should You Choose?
There’s a vast array of Volume lashes out there, so we’ll keep this brief. We’ve detailed all the different types of eyelash extensions in another blog post if you’re interested in a deeper dive, but for now, let’s focus on thickness. There are so many different types of volume lashes out there, that it’s easy to get lost in the options. But don’t stress—we’ll keep it simple. For now, let’s focus on the basics, like thickness.
The best thickness to start with is 0.07, which works perfectly for creating Volume fans up to 5D. If you’ve used London Lash Classic Lashes before, you might already know which collection and lengths suit you best. For those new to London Lash, we recommend starting with a couple of mixed-length trays. This way, you can practice your fanning and apply a few sets before deciding on your go-to lengths. The most popular curls are C and CC, but as you get more skilled at creating volume fans, you might want to experiment with more unique curls like M or L curls.
Picking the Right Glue
The best lash glue really depends on a few factors. If you’re transitioning from Classic to Volume Lashes, you probably already have an idea of what works for you. But keep in mind, that when you switch to Volume, you might find your placement speed increases. So, you might want to consider a glue that dries a bit slower, giving you some extra time as you adjust to the slight differences in handling Volume fans.
What Else Do You Need?
Just like with Classic Lashes, having a good remover on hand is essential—just in case your client needs or wants their lashes removed. By now, you’re probably a pro at removals, but we still recommend using Cream Remover for full sets. It stays exactly where you put it and makes it easy to see if there’s any residue left on the lashes.
If you’re moving from Classic to Volume Lashes, chances are you’ve got your lash prep routine down. But if you’re jumping straight into Volume or trying out London Lash for the first time, make sure you’ve got some high-quality prep products to help your sets last longer. You might not think that lash prep is important, but trust us, your clients’ lash retention will speak volumes!
And don’t forget—always have plenty of eye patches and tape on hand. You’ll need them for every single client.
If you want to take the guesswork out of building your Volume Lash kit, consider grabbing a curated kit. It’s a great way to explore the London Lash range, and you’ll have everything you need to complete a few sets and figure out what works best for you!
