Mega Volume
Mega volume lash extensions are an advanced technique in the field of eyelash extensions that offers an even more dramatic and voluminous look compared to classic and volume lash extensions. With mega volume extensions, an even greater number of ultra-fine lash fibers are used to create handmade fans or clusters, resulting in an extremely dense and full lash line. The process of applying mega volume lash extensions is similar to volume lash extensions but involves using an increased number of lash fibers in each fan. Unlike standard volume lash extensions, which typically use 2-6 extensions per fan, mega volume lashes can involve 10 or more extensions per fan, depending on the desired effect and the client's natural lashes. The fans are meticulously crafted by the lash artist with precision and skill. Here are the key steps involved in the mega volume lash extension process:
1. Consultation: As with any lash extension service, a consultation is conducted to discuss your desired look and assess the suitability of mega volume lashes based on your natural lashes and eye shape.
2. Preparation: Your natural lashes will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup residues, oils, or debris. The technician will isolate your natural lashes using adhesive tape or gel pads, ensuring that the extensions are applied individually.
3. Fan creation: Using ultra-fine lash extensions, the lash technician manually creates handmade fans. This process involves picking up a larger number of lash fibers, fanning them out evenly, and securing them at the base with a minimal amount of adhesive. The fans are carefully crafted to achieve maximum density and volume.
4. Application: The lash artist will dip the base of each mega volume fan into a small amount of adhesive and attach it to a single natural lash. This step is repeated across the lash line, strategically placing the fans to achieve the desired mega volume effect.
5. Final touches: Once all the mega volume fans are applied, the technician will comb through the lashes to ensure they are evenly spaced and separated.
Mega volume lash extensions create a bold, glamorous, and full lash look. They are popular among individuals who desire a striking and eye-catching appearance, especially for special events or those who prefer an intense lash style. It's important to note that mega volume lash extensions require advanced skill and experience from the lash technician. The weight and density of the extensions can put more strain on the natural lashes, so it's crucial to ensure that your natural lashes are healthy and strong enough to support the additional weight. Proper aftercare and regular maintenance appointments are essential to maintain the longevity and health of mega volume lash extensions. Consulting with a certified lash technician or a reputable lash salon is recommended to understand the specific details and considerations of mega volume lash extensions and to determine if they are suitable for your individual needs.
