Russian Eyelash Extension

RUSSIAN VOLUME EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Achieve fuller, longer, and more dramatic lashes without the hassle of applying false eyelashes or mascara with Russian volume eyelash extensions. 

The beauty of Russian eyelash extensions lies in volume fans made from ultra-fine lashes. Each volume fan is handcrafted during the appointment and can range from 2D to 12D, depending on how many individual lash extensions are placed in the fan.

For example, in a 2D technique, two ultra-fine extensions are attached to one natural eyelash, while for 12D, twelve lighter lashes are used to form the fan. This flexibility allows you to choose how fuller or dramatic you want your Russian lashes to be.

What Are Russian Volume Lash Extensions?

Russian volume eyelash extensions, sometimes called Russian volume lashes or just volume lash extensions, use ultra-fine synthetic fibres to create voluminous lash fans. The technique involves attaching multiple lightweight eyelash extensions onto a single natural lash, creating intense volume and a fuller look. 

The term comes from the technique’s development in Russia, where lash artists originally devised this method to add significant volume while maintaining a natural feel on the eye.

At Hello Beautiful, all volume fans we use are handcrafted. We never use premade volume lashes in our studio because premade fans are dipped into glue when created. So, when you dip it again, you can get a glue build-up on the end of the lash, which can create a cluster and a messy lash line.

We also never count how many lash extensions we put on. Instead, we make sure both eyes are balanced and we achieve the look you are hoping for.

Benefits of Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions

One of the main benefits of Russian lashes is they deliver maximum volume while remaining lightweight. Many people who worry about the weight of lash extensions will find volume extensions a game changer. Classic extensions (one lash per natural lash) can feel heavier than a volume set because volume fans divide weight across many lashes. With multiple ultra-fine lashes, volume extensions offer a voluminous yet delicate look.

Clients with sparse lashes benefit greatly from a volume set of lashes, as the volume covers every eyelash (and any gaps), offering a luscious, full-lash look.

Volume sets are incredibly versatile. You can achieve a glamorous, dramatic look for special occasions or a softer, more natural-looking enhancement of your lashes. Some clients opt for more of a Wispy lash extension look, made popular by Kim Kardashian, mimicking the fluttery, staggered effect of this celebrity’s signature style.

How Do Russian Volume Lashes Differ from Classic Lashes?

Volume lashes extensions differ significantly from classic lash extensions in technique, application, and final look. 

  1. Classic eyelash extensions involve attaching one eyelash extension to each natural lash, creating a neat, defined look. However, for individuals with fewer eyelashes, this style may not provide the desired density.
  2. Russian volume eyelash extensions have between two and twelve eyelash extensions on each lash. This gives more volume, texture, and fullness, making it ideal for anyone wanting a more dramatic lash look.
  3. Weight and Thickness: Despite using multiple lashes, volume eyelash extensions are designed to be lighter than thicker, single classic extensions. For example, a fan of 3 lashes with a thickness of 0.05 mm per lash will be lighter than a 0.20 mm classic extension. Five lashes weigh 0.03 mm, making them even lighter to ensure your natural eyelashes are not weighed down.

If you’re unsure whether to get Russian lashes or classic extensions, consider hybrid eyelash extensions, which combine the best of both worlds!

How to Take Care of Russian Volume Extensions

To maximise the longevity and health of your volume lash extensions, be sure to follow these aftercare tips:

  • Avoid water and steam for the first 5 hours after your appointment.
  • Use oil-free products around the eye area, as oils can weaken the lash adhesive.
  • Clean your lashes daily using lash-safe cleansers to prevent dirt, oils, and makeup from building up on your extensions.
  • Avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes, which can loosen the adhesive and damage your eyelashes.

Proper aftercare will help keep your lashes in the best condition and ensure your lash line remains full until your next fill-in.

Why Choose a Russian Volume Set of Lash Extensions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Russian Volume Safe for my Natural Lashes?

Russian volume eyelash extensions can be gentler on your natural eyelashes than traditional lash extensions. As the lash fans are made from ultra-fine fibres, they distribute less weight across your natural lash line. Our skilled lash technicians will assess your natural lashes to ensure the appropriate volume set is used.

For example, finer natural lashes may require lighter, smaller volumes (like 3D or 4D), whereas clients with stronger lashes may handle larger sets like 6D, 7D, or even 12D.

How Long Do Russian Volume Lashes Last?

Russian volume lashes should last 4 to 6 weeks, however, we recommend a fill-in every 2-4 weeks. Your natural lash growth cycle plays a role in this process: as your lashes shed, you’ll lose some extensions, and new lashes will grow through. Retention is a very individual thing and depends on personal specifics.

What is the cost of Russian volume extensions?

At Hello Beautiful, our Russian eyelash extensions in Melbourne are just $150 per set. Your appointment may take up to 2 hours.
