YY and W Lashes: What are the differences? Which one is the better choice?

What are YY and W lash extensions?

YY lashes

YY lashes get their name from the fascinating Y-shaped lash fan. Consider four classic lash strands meticulously bonded at the base and gently crafted to softly fan out in two directions, resulting in the unique Y shape. The shape of YY lashes resembles one of the antlers of deer, which brings auspicious meanings.

This revolutionary design optimizes the application process because it is similar to applying classic lashes. Moreover, YY lashes serve the same function as premade fans, resulting in impressive volume and retention.

W lashes

W lashes—the innovative upgrade from the YY lash, with multiple tips for an exceptionally dramatic and fuller look. Our W lashes with triple-strand designs have ultimate W-shaped lash fans.

Our dedicated R&D team further customized more variations with different types of W lashes to provide diversified, natural, and fuller lash looks for unique allure.

 

What distinguishes W lashes from YY lashes? 

Different number of lashes per fan

The YY Lashes feature 4 lashes per fan in the shape of a double-layered YY, while the W Lashes have from 3 to 8 lashes per pre-made fan in the shape of a W. The photographs below demonstrate the differences between the two fans.

 

Different lash effects

Despite W and YY lashes having quite similar appearances, they offer different lash effects when applied to the client's eye. W lashes feature from 3 to 8 lashes per fan, more than YY lashes with 4 lashes per fan, allowing for a fuller and darker set.

YY lashes feature wider spaces between tips, resulting in wispier and lighter volume sets. As a result, whatever look you desire, both W and YY lashes will make drastic transformations.

W lashes are the perfect options if you want to create fuller, feathery, and dramatic looks with added depth and a subtle lift at the ends. They offer more natural fullness than volume lashes but are still dense and bold, ideal for clients who love a natural but noticeable enhancement. 

Meanwhile, if you prefer to achieve fluffy, thick, and voluminous effects using just a few lashes, YY lashes are the ideal choice. They add instant density without extra weight, making them perfect for clients with sparse or thin natural lashes. Whether you aim for effortless fullness or a soft glam effect, choosing YY lashes will satisfy your desire.

 

The unparalleled feature of YY and W lashes: Make waves in the industry

Despite their differences, both types of lashes share outstanding, similar features, making them highly favored and praised by lash artists.

High quality 

Our vegan lashes are made of high-quality German PBT fiber, ensuring durability and softness. They are 100% cruelty-free and not tested on animals. They are non-toxic and safe for use. 

Our lashes are easy to pick up, just like traditional lashes, with no kinks and knot-free. Under suitable storage conditions, the curl remains stable for more than a year, ensuring the ideal effect.

Handmade weave art

Our lashes are woven meticulously, which creates a natural crisscross pattern that blurs the gap between classic and volume, resulting in increased volume and depth. This design is ideal for sparse lashes since it gives them a fuller appearance.

Flat base & long stem

These lashes have a flat base and a long stem, making them easy to pick up and apply. The wider base enables a better and stronger connection, resulting in 55% longer retention than regular lashes. Furthermore, the long stem improves lash adhesion with natural lashes, giving a darker line.

Matte, deep black finish

W lashes and YY lashes are matte deep black, designing natural yet dramatic effects that enhance the eyes.

Time saver: From 10 minutes per set

Cut the lashing time without compromising quality. With an effortless application like classic lashes and the efficiency of Premade Fans, lash artists can attach a full set in 10 minutes or more. Save up to 70% of your time, serve more clients, and boost your lash business easily.

Weightless Volume

Multiple tips enhance volume and texture without adding extra weight, allowing a quick and easy way to achieve full, fluffy volume.

 

Why our YY and W lashes steal the spotlight in the lash market

Up to 30% cost savings compared to normal lashes

Unlike traditional premade fans that are separated on each strip, YY & W lashes are closely put together, mimicking the strips of standard lash trays. 

As a lash artist, finding high-quality, cost-effective lashes is essential. Our YY & W lash trays are designed to give you the best value, offering approx. 2100–2700 fans per box, enough to create up to 13 full sets of lash extensions. 

Each fan costs as little as $0.001, just $0.50 per full set: lower costs, more clients, and effortless lashing.

55% longer retention

Our YY and W lashes provide 55% longer retention. They have a flat base and a long stem, which provides a larger contact area for a stronger attachment with natural lashes, resulting in better retention and longer wear. The long stem also allows for easier dipping into lash adhesive glue and improves lash adhesion to natural lashes. 

8 Different Types of YY and W Lashes

Our YY lashes are available in one version, with four classic lashes weaved together.

Our W lashes, with their W-shaped design, provide better coverage and fullness than YY lashes. W lashes are available in seven variations: 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, Double 3D, Double 4D, and 5D Wispy.

 


3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D: Each type indicates the number of lashes woven into a single lash. For example, 3D contains three classic lashes but 4D contains four classic lashes.

Double 3D and 4D: Double 3D has six lashes with three tips, each with two lash strands resembling a flat eyelash. Similarly, Double 4D contains eight lash strands and four tips, with each tip containing two lash strands.

5D Wispy: This type has three lashes in the center and one on each side to create wispy lash sets.

Our W and YY lashes come in C and D curls, with thicknesses of 0.07 and 0.05 mm, offering versatility and possibilities for various lash designs.
