Dream of waking up with fluttery lashes every morning? It\u2019s less of a fantasy than you might think. If you\u2019re ready, put down the eyelash curler and step away from the mascara. We\u2019re going to tell you all about a long-term way you can get gorgeous lashes without adding an extra step to your morning routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid lash extensions are a lash tech\u2019s secret weapon for giving you full and voluminous lashes. Whether you want something dramatic or natural, any skilled lash tech can create a custom look that matches your eye shape, your natural lashes, and your desired outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll go over everything about hybrid lash extensions and why they\u2019re the best choice for customized lashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are hybrid lashes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid lash extensions are a mix of classic and volume lash extensions. Your lash tech will apply individual lash extensions to some lashes (the \u201cclassic\u201d method) and apply fans of two or more lashes to others (the \u201cvolume\u201d method). Some salons also call these \u201cmixed set\u201d lashes. We\u2019ll go over both of these methods in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lashes are typically applied either 70 percent volume and 30 percent classic or equally split between both. Combining these methods gives your lash tech more control over your look and lash texture. They\u2019re great if you want a mix of volume and length throughout your lash line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between hybrid, classic, and volume lashes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Classic lashes are applied by applying an individual lash extension<\/a> to each lash. You can transition from classic to hybrid lashes if you\u2019re looking for a little more volume. This method is best for natural looks that focus on adding length. Classic lashes take the least amount of time to apply and are normally more affordable than volume and hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volume lashes are applied by adding two or more lash extensions to each lash. They\u2019re lighter than classic lashes to account for the additional extensions added to a single lash. Volume lashes are best if you want fuller lashes or a dramatic look. Volume lashes are usually the most expensive and take the most amount of time compared to classic and hybrid lashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these lashes last about the same amount of time. Longevity for any type of eyelash extension<\/a> is dictated by your care routine and your lashes’ natural life cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of hybrid lashes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid lashes give you full control over the volume added to your lashes. For example, your lash tech can focus on adding more volume to certain areas of your lash line instead of the full line. This helps fill in any sparse areas without going too dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opting for hybrid lashes also gives you an opportunity to test out more volume on your lashes. This can save you some time and money instead of diving straight into volume lashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long does a hybrid lash application take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid lash applications can take anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours, depending on the look you want. Your Pro\u2019s skill level and technique also dictates how long you\u2019ll need to wait before they finish applying your new lashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your initial appointment, you\u2019ll go in for shorter fill appointments to upkeep your lashes. These can take about an hour, depending on how well you\u2019ve cared for your lashes and how long it\u2019s been since your last fill. The more work that\u2019s needed, the longer your appointment. Your lash tech can advise you on how often to come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do hybrid lashes last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These lashes can last<\/a> up to eight weeks if you take care of them. However, your fluttery lashes won\u2019t last forever. Your lash extensions will shed since your lashes naturally fall out<\/a> over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you can\u2019t prevent the eventual shedding, you can take some steps to prolong your hybrid lash extensions. Here are a few steps you can take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
