Essential Lash Supplies For The Perfect Russian Volume Lashes
Whether you’re new to the eyelash extensions industry, or you’ve already completed a lash extension course for Classic lashes and are ready to move on to Russian Volume lashes, it’s completely normal to have questions about the best products for Volume lash extensions. Choosing the right lash supplies can make a huge difference to your results, retention, and client satisfaction.
If you fall into any of these categories, or if you’re already creating Volume lash sets and want to refine your technique with better tools and products, you’re in the right place. Below, we’ve put together a list of our essential lash products for creating flawless Russian Volume lash extensions.
What Are Volume Lashes?
To start with the basics, Volume lashes, also known as Russian Volume lashes, are a style of eyelash extensions where multiple ultra-fine lash extensions are applied to a single natural lash. This technique creates a fuller, fluffier, and more dramatic look compared to Classic eyelash extensions ( Classic lashes ), while still maintaining the health of the natural lashes when applied correctly.
Volume lash extensions are ideal for clients who want thicker lashes, added density, and a customised lash look.
What Eyelash Extensions Are Used For Volume Lashes?
For creating beautiful handmade Volume lash fans, we recommend using Mayfair Faux Mink lashes. These are perfect for professional Volume lash application thanks to their softness, flexibility, and consistency.
If you’re still learning how to create handmade fans, Easy Fanning lashes are a great option. These lightweight Volume lash extensions feature double-layered strips that fan effortlessly when picked up with your eyelash tweezers, making them ideal for beginners and intermediate Lash Techs.
For those looking to speed up appointments without compromising on quality, Premade Volume Lash Fans ( Premade Lash Fans ) are an excellent alternative. They allow you to pick up ready-made fans directly from the strip, reducing treatment time while still delivering professional, high-quality Volume lash results.
The Best Eyelash Glue For Volume Lashes
There’s no one-size-fits-all lash glue for Volume lashes. Your ideal eyelash extension adhesive ( the right lash glue for you ) will depend on factors such as:
-
Your speed of application
-
Your level of experience
That said, one of our top recommendations for Russian Volume lash extensions is Flexie Lash Glue. It’s ideal for low humidity environments, has a smooth, velvety consistency, and allows you to pick up the perfect amount of adhesive every time. Once cured, it remains flexible, which helps deliver great retention for your clients.
With a 1-second drying time, Flexie is best suited for experienced Lash Technicians. If you’re beginner to Volume lash application, we recommend starting with Satin Bond lash glue, which has a 2-second drying time and a slightly thicker consistency, making it more forgiving while you build speed and confidence.
Once you’ve completed around 1000–1500 lash sets, you may want to try sample of our Flexie before committing to a full bottle.
The Best Eyelash Tweezers For Volume Lashes
Choosing the right eyelash tweezers for Russian Volume lashes largely comes down to personal preference, but certain tools are especially effective for Volume techniques.
We recommend:
-
Curved Isolation Tweezers for isolating natural lashes
-
Fine Tip Volume Tweezers for creating and placing Volume lash fans
This combination is ideal because fine tip Volume tweezers are hand-tested and designed specifically for precise fan creation using various Russian Volume fanning techniques. They’re especially helpful for Lash Techs who find fan-making challenging, as they offer excellent grip and control.
The Curved Isolation Tweezers also help reduce hand strain and muscle fatigue, making them more comfortable for long lash appointments.
The Perfect Pretreatment Routine For Volume Lashes
Great lash retention starts with proper preparation. For the best results with Russian Volume lash extensions, we recommend following a proven 5-step eyelash extension pretreatment method. This routine thoroughly cleanses the natural lashes, removes oils and residue, and prepares them for optimal adhesive bonding.
To make things easier, all the required lash prep products are available in a convenient bundle. If you’re a beginner Lash Tech or working within a budget, you can also explore simplified 3-step pretreatment routines blog post, which still deliver great results when done correctly.
