Why Volume Lash Trays Are a Game Changer
Volume lash trays are created considering the storage of numerous ultra-thin lashes, which can be beautifully fanned. They help in creating depth, fullness, and a customised look for each individual, unlike classic extensions. Because many Australians want soft glam or a natural look, volume lashes provide those light and fluffy lashes without going overboard. The usage gets refined the more you play around with them, and you end up gaining better control and consistency in your sets.
Choose the Right Volume Lash Trays
The first consideration before you jump into fan making will be the right tray of volume lashes you should choose. Opt for:
- Quality fibre that mimics natural lash texture
- Different types of curls, including C, CC, and D curls
- A variety of lengths and diameters for client styling
- Reliable adhesive strips that aid in clean lift-off of lashes
Simply put, it’s about quality. Good volumes of trays can make everything in fan-making an easier, quicker, and less frustrating experience.
Master the Fan-Making Technique
Have your lashes ever slipped or collapsed while shaping your fans? If yes, you are not alone. Here are some tips:
- For tight, symmetrical fans, use the pinch method.
- Wiggle if you like your fans to open easily!
- Using different angles of your tweezers will enable you to grip more lashes.
- Always pick the lashes from the middle of the strip rather than from the base.
Put these into practice daily, and you will soon be able to see major improvements in your fan consistency.
Perfect Your Adhesive Placement
The secret behind perfect retention is glue. Dip just 2mm of the fan into adhesive; go any deeper, and you’ll have the problems of stickiness caused by heavier bases. Remember, volume lash trays are best for fan formation. The most important goal now is precision and not so much speed. When attaching the fan, make sure you put light pressure and let it curve naturally around the natural lash.
Style According to Each Eye Shape
Every client is different – no two are alike. So that is a fun challenge for you; create three different volume lash styles this week: cat-eye, doll-eye, and wispy. Volume lash trays allow you to experiment without a fuss. Mix and match lengths, adjust curls, and layer your fans beautifully to customise each look.
The first step to becoming great at volume lashes is knowing your tools, with the volume lash trays sitting at the heart of any great full set. With the right trays, good fan-making skills, and some styling thought, you could create beautiful lash looks that your Australian clients are bound to adore. Keep practicing, keep experimenting, and before you know it, volume sets will be your favourite service to offer!
