Classic, 2D or volume lashes: how to choose your lash extension set

Classic: one extension per natural lash

Classic sets add length and definition without changing the character of your eyes. They are the lightest option and therefore the safest for weak or thin natural lashes. If people should notice you look rested rather than notice your lashes, this is the set.

2D and 3D: the middle ground

Here the technician builds a small fan of two or three ultra-fine extensions and attaches it to a single natural lash. Total weight stays close to a classic set, but the lash line reads much denser. This is the most requested option at Brandis Salon.

Volume and mega volume

Fans of four to twelve very fine extensions create a dark, dramatic lash line and cover gaps completely. Volume requires healthy natural lashes and a technician who works with correct diameters — too heavy a fan will cause premature shedding.

Retention: what really decides how long a set lives

• Your natural growth cycle — lashes shed and regrow constantly.
• Oil-based skincare and makeup around the eye area.
• Sleeping face-down and rubbing your eyes.
• Humidity and salt water — worth knowing in a coastal city like Da Nang.
• Refills every two to three weeks, before more than 40% has grown out.

Choosing in one sentence

Weak lashes or a natural look — classic. Everyday elegance with visible density — 2D or 3D. Photoshoots, events and a bold look — volume.
