When it comes to selecting the perfect lash trays for your clients, understanding the density of lash trays is crucial. The density influences the final lash look, from natural and lightweight to bold and dramatic. In this blog, we’ll explore the four main factors effecting lash tray density and provide tips to help you make informed decisions.
What is the density of lash trays?
The density of lash tray refers to how full or compact the lash fibers are within each strip of the tray. It determines how many lashes are placed along the strip and impacts the overall appearance of the lash set you can create. A denser lash tray provides a fuller, more dramatic look, while a less dense tray is ideal for creating lightweight and natural lash styles. By understanding lash tray density, you can confidently choose the right tray for each client and create stunning results every time!
4 factors that effect the density of lash trays
1. The tapered size of lash fiber
The taper length of lash fibers is one of the key factors effecting the density of lash tray. The density of lashes will depend on the taper length of the lash material.
Types of taper lengths
There are 2 kinds of taper length:
- Accurate short taper: for super dense appearance, ideal for achieving bold, dramatic, and voluminous lash sets.
- Standard short taper: for dense appearance, suitable for creating natural, fluffy, and ultra-lightweight lash sets.
How taper length effects the density of lash tray
- The shorter the fiber is tapered, the denser the lash tray will be
- The longer the fiber is tapered, the less dense the lash tray become
CharmLash’s advice for lash selection based on tapered size
First advice: If you prioritize the density of lash tray, please choose lash material based on tapered size:
- For the super dense lash trays, choose accurate short taper materials like: Premium faux mink lashes, Faux mink lashes, Cashmere mink lashes, Super silk lashes
- For the dense lash trays, choose standard short taper materials like: Super faux mink lashes, Velvet mink lashes, Cashmere silk lashes, Premium matte lashes
Second advice: If you prioritize the desired lash outcome:
- If you want a bold, dramatic, voluminous look, choose lash materials with accurate short taper such as: Premium faux mink lashes, Faux mink lashes, Cashmere mink lashes, Super silk lashes
- If you want a natural, fluffy and ultra-lightweight lash set, choose lash materials with standard short taper such as: Super faux mink lashes, Velvet mink lashes, Cashmere silk lashes, Premium matte lashes
2. The glue tape’s stickiness level
Did you know the stickiness of the glue tape used in lash trays can also effect the density of lash tray? The stickier the glue tape is, the denser the lash tray will be.
How glue tape effect the density of lash tray
Let’ see how does the density works on the same fiber and same thickness but with the different sticky tapes:
- Brown 2mm Tape – Sticky level 1: Least dense lash tray
- Orange 2mm Tape – Sticky level 3: Denser lash tray than brown tape
- Yellow 2mm Tape – Sticky level 6: Denser lash tray than orange tape
- Dark green Tape 2mm – Sticky level 9: The densest lash tray
CharmLash’s recommendation
If your goal is maximum density, opt for lash trays with a stickier glue tape. However, always consider ease of use and consider your fanning techniques to ensure smooth application.
3. Thickness of lash fibers
The thickness of the lash fibers is another critical factor in determining the density of lash tray. The thicker the thickness is, the fuller the lash becomes.
Let’s compare the density of lashes with different thicknesses on the same glue tape:
- Thickness 0.03: the least dense
- Thickness 0.05: dense
- Thickness 0.07: denser
- Thickness 0.10: the densest
Advice from CharmLash
For customizable results, stock lash trays in a variety of thicknesses to meet diverse client preferences. This flexibility will allow you to create anything from ultra-lightweight classics to high-density mega-volume looks.
4. Skillful craftsmanship
The final factor influencing the density of lash tray is the craftsmanship behind the product. The density of each lash strip depends on the craftsmanship, expertise and years of experience with strict quality control at every step.
