You are not sure which thickness of eyelash extensions suits your customers? No problem - we will help you!

Why is eyelash extension thickness important?

Before we dive into the details of lash thickness, let's understand why the thickness of your lash extensions matters in the first place. The thickness affects the appearance of the lashes and can change the overall look of the eyes. Choosing the wrong thickness can result in an unnatural or cluttered look. Therefore, it is important to choose the right thickness that suits the client's individual style and natural lash hair.

Different thicknesses of eyelash extensions

There are different thickness options for eyelash extensions and each offers a unique look. Here are some of the most common thicknesses to consider when choosing your eyelash extensions:

0.05mm - Natural appearance

A thickness of 0.05mm is often considered the most natural option. These thin lash extensions add minimal extra weight to your natural lashes, creating a more subtle look. If you are looking for a smooth and unobtrusive effect, 0.05mm might be the right choice for you.

0.07mm - Classic look

The 0.07mm thickness is a popular choice for those who want a classic yet natural look. These lash extensions are slightly thicker than 0.07mm, but they still offer a subtle look that accentuates and adds volume to your natural lashes.

0.10mm - Fuller effect

If you want a more voluminous look, 0.10mm eyelash extensions might be the right option for you. These thicker lash extensions create a fuller effect and make your lashes appear visually thicker. They are good for special occasions or when you want to achieve a more dramatic look. Note, however, that this thickness puts more emphasis on your natural lashes and may be a bit unfamiliar.

0.12mm - Dramatic Look

If you are looking for an eye-catching, dramatic look, 0.12mm thick eyelash extensions could be the right choice for you. These thick eyelash extensions offer maximum volume and are ideal for special occasions, photo shoots or stage performances. However, keep in mind that this thickness can add weight and stress to your natural lashes.

0.15mm - Fuller natural effect

Eyelash extensions with a thickness of 0.15mm offer a beautiful natural fuller effect. If the client has naturally thinner lashes or simply prefers the look of thicker lashes, these extensions could be the perfect choice for you.

With 0.15mm thick eyelash extensions, you can give your client's eyelashes a clearly visible increase in volume while still looking natural.

The advantage of 0.15mm lash extensions is that they offer more fullness and definition without looking too heavy or overdone. They add a bit more weight, but usually this is comfortable for most people and not stressful on the natural lashes.

The classic individual technique is used for these thick eyelash extensions.

How to choose the right thickness for eyelash extensions?

Choosing the right thickness for your clients eyelash extensions depends on several factors. Here are some important considerations to keep in mind:

• Natural Lashes: Look at the thickness and condition of the natural lashes. If the lashes are naturally thin and fine, a thinner thickness like 0.05mm or 0.07mm might suit them better for a more natural result. If the lashes are thicker and stronger, you might opt for a thicker thickness like 0.12mm or 0.15mm.

• Desired Look: Think about the look you want to achieve. If you prefer a natural, subtle look, thinner gauges may be your best bet. On the other hand, if you want an eye-catching, voluminous appearance, you could opt for thicker, thicker extensions on your clients.

• Comfort: Remember that thicker lash extensions put more weight on the natural lashes. If the customer has sensitive eyes or weaker natural eyelashes, thinner thickness could provide more comfort.

• Professional advice: A consultation should always take place. A professional eyelash stylist will find the perfect eyelash thickness for every eye. The stylist can assess the natural lashes and make a recommendation based on individual needs and preferences.
