Mega Volume Lashes: All You Need to Know for a Stunning Bold Set
When it comes to eyelash extensions, there is no such thing as a limit. As the lash field is growing, not only classic and volume, but also more technically demanding styles such as mega volume lash extensions are also becoming exceedingly popular. This can be a challenge for some eyelash extension artists, especially beginners, to create fluffy lashes for a bold and dramatic look while making them light enough to wear for a long time.
In this article, Lii Lash will provide you with all the crucial information related to mega-volume lash extensions and how to become a master of that style.
WHAT ARE MEGA VOLUME LASH EXTENSIONS?
The most common feature of mega volume lash extensions is that they give a dramatic, thick look with a much darker effect than regular lashes. To achieve this result, instead of attaching one lash to each natural lash 1:1 like classic eyelash extensions or attaching 2 to 8 lashes to each natural lash like volume lashes, the number of false lashes used to create a fan shape for the mega volume style is much larger. A mega volume lash extension fan usually consists of 10 to 16 false lashes combined together, even up to 20D, helping the eyelash extension artist bring a fuller and more voluminous look to the customer's lashes.
Another important factor that distinguishes Mega Volume lashes from the rest is the diameter. Because the number of lashes in each fan is much larger, to help the lashes become thinner, lighter, and more comfortable, the most commonly used thicknesses are 0.03 and 0.05.
ARE MEGA LASHES WORTH BECOMING A TRENDING STYLE?
The Benefits of Mega Volume Lash Extensions
Dramatic Effects
Since Mega Volume fans are larger than regular Volume fans, they will improve the thickness and darkness of the lash lines, helping the eyes become much more prominent. With Mega Volume lash extensions, you can effortlessly wake up every morning with thick, alluring eyelashes without needing mascara, which is unlikely to be achieved with regular eyelash extensions.
Lightweight & Convenience
Contrary to their thick appearance, mega volume lash extensions are extremely light and comfortable to wear because they are made up of lash fans with a small thickness of 0.03 to 0.05.
In addition, this type of eyelash is very convenient and saves users more time. Say goodbye to the hassle of applying mascara every day or trying to keep it in place for a long time. No more trouble having to focus on maintaining your eyelashes.
Enhanced Retention
Because of their finer diameter and more surface area for lash glue to be applied since they wrap around the natural lashes instead of sitting on top of them, mega lashes provide a better hold on your client’s lashes. Combined with proper care and maintenance, these lashes can even last for weeks (7-8 weeks), outlasting classic lashes and increasing the time between eyelash extension appointments.
Advanced Customization
The technique used allows for a high degree of customization, so Mega Volume is available in a variety of shapes and sizes and will be customized to each client’s eye and exact desired look. For eyelash extension artists, this can be a great business opportunity. Gaining the skill and precision required for Mega Volume means you can take your service to the next level, customize a wider range of lash styles, and easily charge more per set to increase your profits.
The drawbacks of Mega Volume Lash Extensions
Time-consuming
A stunning mega lash set usually requires a 2-3 hour process, sometimes up to 4 hours. This can be an obstacle for people with busy schedules or simply have difficulty being patient when working for such a long time.
Cost
Due to the significant time and skill required to apply, Mega Volume eyelash extensions can also be more expensive than regular ones, and sometimes this cost will not be feasible for some customers.
Maintenance
Beauty is pain. While they reduce the need for daily makeup and mascara, Mega Volume lash extensions require more intensive care to maintain the longevity and health of the extensions. Because of the large number of fans, you need to brush your lashes frequently throughout the day and get regular touch-ups every 2-4 weeks to maintain the original dramatic bold look.
WHO SHOULD GET MEGA VOLUME LASH EXTENSIONS?
As a professional eyelash extension artist, there is one important thing to keep in mind about this style. Even if they are looking for a more dramatic look, you must consider whether this is a good choice for the particular client by checking if their natural lashes are strong enough to withstand the mega volume. If the lashes are strong, they can handle the large, thin fans. But if the natural lashes are sparse and thin, the number of lashes that can be attached will need to be greatly reduced to avoid the condition of the real lashes weakening and falling out.
HOW TO MAKE A MEGA VOLUME LASH SET?
Mega Volume lashes do not mean you can randomly attach 15 lashes to a natural lash. To create a suitable Mega Volume lash set, you need to calculate the length of the natural lashes and the safe weight carefully. The right weight for the lash set can be controlled by the following two important variables:
- The number of extensions used to create the fan. This is also called "D" to indicate the size.
- The diameter of the extensions used to create the fan.
You can consider the diameter for a classic set that the customer's natural lashes can withstand, then convert it to the safe weight for the customer for mega volume. Below are the equivalent weights of lash fans for your reference.
- Up to 3D volume fans using 0.07 mm diameter extensions.
- Up to 7D volume fans using 0.05 mm diameter extensions.
- Up to 12D volume fans using 0.03 mm diameter extensions.
Mega Volume eyelash extensions require high precision and certain professional skills; however, with enough practice, you can still master this style. To reduce the difficulty of the game and save time, you can consider using Lii Lash's pre-made fans available from 2D-20D in all 3 styles: narrow, super narrow, and wide fans. We provide it in both promade loose fans and premade tray fans depending on your preference.
