Light Volume Lashes: A Complete Guide for Newbie Lash Artists

Light Volume Lashes

So, you have just started your career as a professional lash artist. Well, that’s a great opportunity to turn your passion into a lucrative income. But, in the beginning, it gets challenging for almost every lash technician to distinguish lashes, especially light volume lashes, from other lash extensions, like Russian volume eyelash extensions. In today’s blog, we are sharing here a helpful guide on light volume lashes, from their appeal to application to differences with other lash extensions and much more. Let’s get started!

What Are Light Volume Lash Extensions?

In Australia, light volume lashes are recently trending among women who prefer a subtle and natural but stunning eyelash look. Compared to other traditional lash extensions, these light volume lashes offer a more elegant and natural appearance. As a lash artist, you just need to take multiple lash fans and attach them to one single natural eyelash to create a fuller look with no heaviness and an over-dramatic appearance. 

However, it's not just perfect for those who love a natural look but for those as well who have extremely sparse or fine natural lashes, which are not great for heavier lash extensions. Light volume lashes are the perfect extension to the natural eyelashes for everyday wear and special occasions as well.

How to Apply Light Volume Lashes to Natural Lashes 

Being a new lash artist, it may be challenging to apply light volume lashes correctly. It is a meticulous process that needs to be done with precision for the utmost perfection. However, you can acquire expertise with practice. Now, let’s take a look at the application process:

  • First, isolate natural lashes and take only one single lash fan.
  • Next, pick 2 to 3 lightweight lashes and apply on the single natural lash using adhesive. For adhesives, you can choose our Lashmer Ultra Bond (5ml) (Lash adhesive) for maximum retention- medium drying glue (2 to 4 seconds). Our products are safe for the skin and eyes. 

Difference Between Light Volume Eyelash Extensions and Russian volume lashes

Light volume lash extensions involve applying two or three lash fans to one single natural lash to create a subtle and natural look. On the contrary, you need to create a voluminous look and density to the lash line in Russian volume lash extension, where multiple lashes are applied to a single natural lash. It’s best for those who prefer a dramatic look and intensely voluminous effect.

How to Maintain Light Volume Lashes


Again, light volume lashes offer a little more voluminous but natural look compared to classic eyelash extensions, as the latter involves applying a single extension to each natural lash maintaining a one-to-one ratio. However, both offer an airy and light feel with an elegant and comfortable appearance. 

Depending on your client’s preference, you can create a personalised lash volume by attaching the right number of lashes to each fan without causing any damage to natural lashes. 

How to Maintain Light Volume Lashes

According to expert lash artists, light volume lashes can last up to one month or even 6 weeks without a fill if maintained with proper care.  So, when providing this volume lash extension to your clients, make sure you give them some maintenance tips to make these volume lashes last longer. Such as:

  • Avoid water and steam for up to the next 24 hours
  • Gentle cleansing and no use of oil-based products
  • Regular fill every 3 weeks for lash replacement if any lash falls out from the natural lash line
