Are Classic Lash Extensions Still Trending?

The beauty industry is still riding the trend toward natural, understated looks. More and more women are choosing nude manicures, their natural hair color, and makeup that’s mostly just brow gel and a little concealer to cover minor flaws. So our answer is a definite YES.

Volume means bonding a fan of two or more extensions to one natural lash. Read more about the types of volume in this article.
