What is a half set of lashes?
As the name implies, a Half lash set is precisely that – half of a full set. To understand this better, consider that there are approximately 90-160 lashes on each eye. A full lash set involves applying extensions to every single natural lash. In contrast, a half lash extension means that extensions are applied to only half of the natural lashes. The process involves applying extensions to one natural lash, then skipping the next natural lash, applyinng extensions on the following and repeat. This results in only around 45-80 natural lashes being covered with extensions.
