Speeding Up Your Regimen

If you are looking for something to pep up your look, you may want to think about getting volume lashes. There is a huge difference between lash extensions and volume lashes, though both are a semi-permanent method of improving the quality and look of your lashes. Below we will discuss the pros and cons of each of these options, along with who would most benefit from them.

Volume Lashes

Volume lashes make it look like you have more lashes than you actually have. You will have 3-5 fanned-out lashes attached to each of your own, pumping up your volume and making it look like you always have mascara on.

Pros

If you do not have many eyelashes to begin with, volume lashes will give you the look you have always wanted. They are extremely lightweight, and many people say that they feel very natural. Anyone who has natural gaps in their lashes will notice that their problem is solved and replaced with voluminous and expensive-looking lashes. 

Cons

Some people think that volume lashes look like falsies, a store brand of lash that can be glued on at home for an event or costume. However, volume lashes are semi-permanent and will stay on for several months.

Lash Extensions

Lash extensions are when a long thick lash is attached to each of your own lashes, giving you the look of beautiful curled, dark lashes any time of the day or night.

Pros

Lash extensions look extremely natural and highlight your own lashes. They literally are your own lashes, only with a little extension and color added. The natural look is one of the major draws to extensions instead of volume lashes. 

Cons

Extensions can weigh quite a bit, occasionally overpowering your natural lash and causing some drooping problems. Make sure you go to a reputable lash extension studio, or you may have trouble with the weight and keeping them on. In addition, the glue sometimes outlives the lash, meaning that when the false eyelash is ready to fall out it will not disconnect from the authentic lash, pulling it out in the process.

In conclusion, if you are looking to multiply the number of lashes you have, you will want to get volume lashes. If you just want to make your lashes look a bit longer, lash extensions will be the perfect thing for you. Find a lash salon near you for more information on appointments and pricing. Whichever way you go, enjoy your new lashes!
