01 What are Classic Lashes?
Classic Lashes is a traditional eyelash extension technique that uses a "one artificial lash grafted onto one natural lash" method.
This technique is ideal for first-time eyelash extension users because it creates a lightweight, natural, and virtually invisible effect while effectively enhancing eye contour and adding depth to the look.
Compared to applying a full row of false lashes or using mascara, Classic Lashes offer a longer-lasting, more natural effect, typically lasting 3-4 weeks before gradually falling out as your natural lashes grow.
02 The Wisdom of Choosing Lash Thickness
Choosing the right lash thickness is key to achieving the desired effect. Human lashes typically measure between 0.5-0.8mm.
Therefore, the closer your false lashes are to this range, the more natural they will look:
· 0.10mm-0.12mm: This is the most natural-looking thickness, perfect for everyday makeup, mimicking the delicate texture of real lashes.
· 0.15mm: This provides a more noticeable effect while still maintaining a natural look, ideal for women who want their eyes to stand out.
· 0.20mm and above: This thickness creates a fuller effect, but may feel heavier and may not be suitable for those with delicate lashes.
When choosing the thickness, it's important to consider the weight your lashes can bear. Excessively thick false lashes can overload your natural lashes, causing them to fall out prematurely.
03 The Art of Eyelash Curl
The curvature of your eyelashes determines the look and style of your eyes. Common curls include J-curl, B-curl, C-curl, and D-curl.
· J-curl (Natural Slight Curl): This is the most natural-looking curl, with the ends curling naturally upward. It's ideal for Asian eye shapes and creates an effect that's almost indistinguishable from real lashes. J-curl has a stronger bond to your natural lashes and lasts longer.
· B-curl (Moderate Curl): Located between J-curl and C-curl, it offers moderate curl and is suitable for those who prefer a slightly exaggerated effect.
· C-curl (Explicit Curl): This is the most popular curl, offering a more pronounced, realistic look that effectively enhances the eye shape and makes it appear larger and more expressive.
· D-curl (Extreme Curl): Even curlier than C-curl, it creates a more exaggerated effect and is suitable for special occasions or those who prefer a dramatic look.
For beginners, it's recommended to start with J-curl or C-curl, as they're more suitable for everyday looks and are more accessible.
04 Comparison of Classic Lashes and Volume Lashes
Volume Lashes (multi-lash grafting) is a popular grafting technique in recent years. It grafts 2-6 ultra-thin artificial lashes onto a single natural lash, creating a fuller, more voluminous effect.
Both have their own advantages:
Advantages of Classic Lashes include:
· More natural appearance: Individual grafting more closely resembles the growth pattern of real eyelashes, resulting in a more natural effect.
· Less weight: Since each natural lash only bears the weight of a single artificial lash, the weight is less and more comfortable.
· More suitable for those with sparse lashes: For those with fewer lashes, individual grafting does not place excessive weight on the lashes.
· Shorter grafting time: Due to the relatively simple technique, the procedure typically takes only 60-90 minutes.
Features of Volume Lashes:
· More volume: Creates a fuller, more three-dimensional look.
· More suitable for special occasions: Captures attention at important events like parties and weddings.
The technique you choose depends on personal preference, eyelash condition, and daily needs. For those seeking a natural look and everyday comfort, Classic Lashes are undoubtedly the better choice.
05 How to Choose the Right Eyelash Extensions for You?
Choosing the right eyelash extension requires more than just thickness and curvature; it also requires a comprehensive consideration of your eye shape, personal style, and daily needs.
Based on Eye Shape:
· Round eyes are suitable for fan-shaped extensions, which are longer in the middle and shorter on the sides to elongate the eye shape.
· Phoenix eyes are suitable for a flared shape, which elongates the tail and enhances the eye contour.
· Small eyes are recommended to choose a natural extension to avoid excessive volume that may make the eyes appear smaller.
Based on Lifestyle:
· Office workers are suitable for natural curvature (J/B curl) and a moderate length (8-10mm).
· People who frequently attend social events can try a more curled curvature (C/D curl) and a longer length.
Choose based on your eyelashes: Those with sparse eyelashes should avoid overly thick or heavy false lashes. Thin lashes, 0.10-0.15mm in diameter, are safer.
06 Post-graft Care Tips
Post-graft eyelash care directly impacts the durability and eye health of your grafts. Here are some key care tips:
· Avoid washing your face or bathing within 6 hours of the procedure. Avoid high-temperature, high-humidity environments like saunas, hot yoga, and swimming within 24 hours to prevent the glue from turning white or falling out.
· Use non-oily cleansers, as oily ingredients can break down the glue and cause premature lash loss.
· Avoid rubbing your lashes vigorously when washing your face. Gently cleanse from above your eyelids, moving in the direction of your lashes.
· Avoid wiping your lashes with a towel, as the fibers can snag them and cause them to fall out.
· Avoid flushing directly into your eyes; the strong water pressure can cause lashes to deform.
· Avoid sleeping on your stomach, as this can compress and deform your lashes.
· Avoid using an eyelash curler, as this can damage your grafted lashes. · Regular touch-ups are recommended, with touch-ups recommended every 10-14 days to maintain a perfect effect.
