Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between YY and W-Shape lashes?
YY lashes are single strands with a Y-fork split at the tip, creating a feather-light, natural wispy look. W-Shape lashes are wide clover pre-made fans with 3–7 tips, creating maximum fluffy volume and drama. YY is for natural looks; W-Shape is for bold, high-impact sets.
Can I mix YY and W-Shape in one set?
Yes. A popular technique uses YY lashes as accent spikes within a W-Shape volume base to add wispy texture without disrupting fan uniformity. This creates a textured, dimensional result that is bolder than pure YY but softer than pure W-Shape.
Which is better for beginners?
YY Lashes. They are applied like classic lashes (no fan to manage) and produce a natural result that is forgiving on placement. W-Shape requires more precise flat base contact for optimal retention.
Which gives better retention?
Retention depends on adhesive quality, prep, and aftercare — not fan type. Both offer 5–7 weeks when applied correctly. YY lashes have a narrower base that can be an advantage on fine natural lashes.
