How long do hybrid lash extensions last?

Hybrid lashes typically last 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your lash cycle and aftercare. Most people book refills every 2–3 weeks to keep them looking fresh.

Are hybrid lashes safe for my natural lashes?

Yes — when applied by a trained lash technician using proper techniques, hybrid lashes are completely safe and won’t damage your natural lashes.

Can I wear makeup with hybrid lashes?

Yes, but avoid oil-based products and mascara, especially waterproof formulas. Use lash-safe makeup and a gentle lash cleanser.

What’s the difference between hybrid and volume lashes?

Hybrid lashes combine classic (1:1) and volume (fan) lashes for a textured, wispy look. Volume lashes use all fans for a denser, fuller appearance.

Will hybrid lashes suit my eye shape?

Yes. Hybrid lashes are highly customizable and can be adapted to any eye shape using different styles like cat eye, doll eye, or natural.

How do I choose between cat eye, doll eye, or manga styles?

It depends on your eye shape and style goals. Cat eye elongates, doll eye opens, manga is bold and spiky. Your lash artist can help you decide.

Can I get hybrid lashes if I’ve never had extensions before?

Absolutely. Hybrid lashes are perfect for first-timers — offering a soft glam look that enhances your natural lashes without being too bold.

You want your lashes to make an impression — but not scream for attention. You want drama, but the chic kind. Something that opens up your eyes and lifts your whole vibe, without making you feel like a totally different person. Sound familiar?

✨ You're probably looking for hybrid lash extensions — even if you don’t know it yet.

💡 What Are Hybrid Lashes, Really?

Hybrid lashes combine the best of both worlds: the definition of classic lashes and the volume of Russian fans. Think: fluffy, textured, and dimensional — but not over-the-top.

💁‍♀️ Style Matters: Choosing the Right Lash Look for You

Once you choose hybrid lashes, the next decision is style. Your lash style dramatically affects your overall appearance — from soft and innocent to sharp and striking.

Here’s a quick rundown of popular lash styles to pair with your hybrid set:

Lash Style	Description
Natural	Mimics the natural lash growth pattern. Slight length variation, ideal for a subtle, effortless look.
Doll Eye	Longest lashes placed in the middle of the eye to make eyes appear bigger, rounder, and more open.
Cat Eye	Longer lashes on the outer corners to elongate and lift. Great for almond or close-set eyes.
Open Eye	Like doll eye but more dramatic. Brightens the eye and works well for most eye shapes.
Manga	Inspired by anime — long, spiky segments with gaps in between. Playful, bold, and editorial.

“I asked for a hybrid cat eye set and it completely changed how my eyes look — lifted, snatched, but not overdone.”— @glamwithlola on Instagram
