Introduction:
Our makeup routine shows how eyelashes make a huge difference, providing sensuality and depth to the look. From the use of mascara and the eyelash curler to the application of false eyelashes, they are ways to beautify our eyes. And here, we will talk about one of them: hybrid eyelash extensions.
Hybrid eyelash extensions, what are they?
We all know what eyelash extensions are. Within this makeup and facial beautification technique, several categories depend on the effect you want to achieve with the length of the applied eyelash, whether it is a natural look or a look with more volume, impressive and striking.
In this case, as the name suggests, hybrid lash extensions are a combination of two lash application techniques. It is the result of the union of the classic technique with the volume technique. This allows to obtain the long and prominent eyelashes of the second technique but preserving a natural appearance that the classic technique provides. It’s basically the best of both worlds.
How is this technique applied?
Before the application, the professional must consider the morphology of the client’s eye; this will allow analyzing the type of eye, its shape, and if the eyelashes have a fixed direction or different directions. In this way, the necessary corrections are made to make the lashes appropriate and have a beautiful and impeccable result.

Different thicknesses are used in hybrid eyelash extensions, as two techniques are used. This will vary according to the professional, but for the volume technique, you can use point 10, and for the classic technique, point 15. Similarly, depending on the effect you want to obtain, lashes with a certain curvature are used, whether soft or more pronounced. The best-known lash effects are:
- Natural or neutral effect
- Squirrel eye effect
- Cat’s eye effect
- Doll’s eye effect
The lashes are divided into three layers: low, medium, and high to apply these extensions. With this, the hairs of the eyebrows are classified, and different lengths of eyelashes are placed, achieving that natural and organic effect. Likewise, the length of the tab to be placed will depend on the location. For example, it is not the same length in the tear area as the high point or commissure area.
Fans of several eyelashes are placed on the lower layer, while eyelashes are applied hair by hair in the middle and upper layer. This achieves the hybrid between the two techniques already described, and beautiful, long, and natural eyebrows are obtained.
How long do these extensions last, and how to care for them?
This type of false eyelashes can last up to 8 weeks or two months; Everything will depend on the quality of the applied product and how you take care of them. In the first 24 hours of the application, you do not get this area wet; this is a decisive time for the product to adhere well to the skin.
Also, it is necessary to avoid rubbing the eyes strongly since this weakens the eyelashes and the glue. On the other hand, it is not convenient to use mascara or an eyelash curler, this can damage them, and you will not obtain a more outstanding effect than the one that the extensions already have. To comb them, you can use a clean brush without any product.
With these care and actions, you will fully enjoy wearing beautiful hybrid eyelash extensions, wearing a sensual and natural look.
