Everything you need to know about hybrid fan lashes

Hybrid fan lashes have grown in popularity in recent years. In today's post, we'll go deep, very deep, into all things about hybrid lash extensions, and you'll be ready to take on more clients in no time.

What are hybrid fan lashes?

Hybrid lashes are a mix of Volume style and Classic style. Depending on the look you want to create for your client, you should use from around 30% to 50% volume lash extensions. The awesome feature about these lash styles is that they allow you to tailor the look to exactly what your client wants.

What are hybrid fan lashes?

If your client requests a natural or wispy-looking set, you should use a higher ratio of Classic lash extensions, whereas if they want a dense or dramatic lash set, you should use volume lashes more frequently.

For example, if your client chooses a textured dense finish, you may want to add more volume lashes, bringing the ratio closer to 20% classics and 80% volumes, or you can use more eyelashes in each individual fan and produce up to 10D fans. If you choose the latter, make sure to use lashes with a smaller thickness fan, such as 0.03mm lashes.

On the other hand, if your client prefers a wispy or natural hybrid set, choose a heavier ratio on the Classic side. Anywhere between 65 and 80 percent classics will suffice, with those volumes reserved primarily for the "spiked" or "textured" parts of the set. You can also apply 2D and 3D fan lashes with a thickness of 0.05 – 0.07 mm, such as these easy-to-apply rapid fanning lashes. When using this method, you must spend 1.5-3 hours depending on how natural or dramatic your client wants the final result to be.

Hybrid lashes are a fantastic choice if you want to gradually start offering volume lashes because they don't require a full set of only volume fans. This is also an excellent way to supplement your income

Client consultation and preparation are essential components of any nice full set of hybrid lashes. Before you apply your first lash, make sure you have a thorough consultation with your client, so you're both on the realistic expectations and the at-home maintenance needed for healthy and beautiful eyelashes. As the final outcome isn't up for interpretation, asking your clients to show some photos of the appearance they want to achieve can help with this process. This is also an excellent time to point out any differences in natural lash density or eye shape that may have an impact on the final result.

After you've decided on a mapping style for your entire set, make sure to properly prep your client's natural lashes to give your result the best chance of retention. You can accomplish this by thoroughly washing your client's lashes with lash-safe soap beforehand.

After thoroughly cleaning the natural lashes, you can protect your work by applying a primer. The primer aids in the removal of any oil or buildup left behind by the wash, resulting in the cleanest lash line possible.

Hybrid fan lashes application tips

Other than deciding where to put your fans vs classic extensions, there are few to no differences between Hybrid, Volume, and Classic applications. This process is entirely dependent on the eyelash mapping and final style you and your client want to achieve. 

For this application, you'll need to be extremely cautious of stickies, as working too quickly in one section can lead to lash disaster. To avoid this, isolate a lash in the inner corner, then the middle, and finally the outer corner to allow for adequate drying time.

Another trick you should know is to separate one lash on the right eye, then move to the left and repeat. We discovered that this method could help you pace yourself because when you first started, you would spend much time on one eye and have little or no time to finish the other eye. This is also great insurance in case of an emergency, and your client has to leave in the middle of an application, as the eyelash set may be sparse, but both eyes will have similar quantities of lashes.

Also, keep in mind that the product quality factor will influence your final outcome. One of the crucial elements that can directly impact the visual appeal of a set of eyelash extensions that you produce for your clients is the quality of eyelash extensions. To ensure the beauty of each eyelash that makes up the complete set of hybrid eyelash extensions, you should invest in high-quality eyelash extensions provided by well-known and reputable suppliers such as LLBA Professional.
