What are lash layers? Why is it essential to be able to work with them in an organized way? What are the multiple layers of eyelashes? As a lash artist, we all know that there are three eyelash layers (top, middle, and bottom). The lash lengths, diameters, and fan widths will determine the final look of the lashes. If you don't already know how to work with these layers (and if you don't have a lot of experience working with them), it might be hard for you to create a good-looking set of lashes without some guidance from someone who does know. That's why this tutorial is here! Volume Lashes mix curls D, CC, and C, Velour Lash Adhesive, Disposable Eye Lash Brushes, and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches are used in this set.

WHAT IS LASH ROW? Most clients typically have 1 to 4 layers or rows, and some clients will have more others have less depending on the thickness of their natural lashes. It's essential as a lash artist to work with rows because it will save you more time, especially when working on complex sets like volume and mega volume, and can save you time isolating.

FACTORS WHEN WORKING ON LASH ROWS The first important factor on why you should know how to work with lash rows is to avoid stickies, which will make your work look messy and unclear, so isolating whichever section you're working on will ensure that it doesn't happen. The second factor you should always be aware of is the lash direction. When you're doing any set, it's essential to be aware of the direction, so working systematically in layers will ensure that your lash direction looks symmetrical. It seems like going in the same direction. Lash rows are essential in volume and mega volume lashes. Promade Fans, Velour Lash Adhesive, Eyelash Extension Ballet Slippers Tape and Hydro-Gel Under Eye Patches are used in this set. To shop, please click here. When you're working on a lash set, it's important to keep a few things in mind. First off, you want to make sure that the lash extensions are going in the same direction as the previous row—this ensures that they'll look as if they're growing out of the natural lash line (and not just adding length). Promade Fans, Ultra Crystal Bond, Incredible Retention Primer and Super Bonder are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

LASH PLACEMENT WHILE WORKING WITH EYELASH ROWS The bottom lash row is furthest away from the lash artist and closest to the client. On that lash row, it's essential to place your lash fan on the top, not on the bottom. For more tips like this one be sure to subscribe to our email list, we send very informative and helpful emails every week, please click here. If you placed it on the bottom, you could have had a drooping lash situation where the extension droops into the client's eyes. To avoid this, it's best to always place the fan on the top of the client's natural lash.
