Choosing the right lash extensions can be overwhelming, especially with so many styles available. Two popular options among lash artists and clients alike are YY and W lash extensions. Both offer stunning volume and a fluffy effect but differ in their design and application.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the key differences, benefits, and outcomes of W and YY lash, helping you decide which is the perfect fit for you!
YY Lashes
YY eyelash extensions are a game-changer in the lash industry! Think of them as a hybrid between classic and volume lashes. Each YY lash is crafted with four strands, braided together at the base to create a stunning criss-cross pattern. The name “YY” comes from its shape—two Y-shaped lash extensions bonded together to form a YY fan.
What makes them stand out? Compared to flat lashes, YY lashes have a flatter base that creates a darker lash line while also offering a larger bonding surface. This improves retention by 55% more than regular lashes! While other YY lashes may have wider-spread tips, ours feature straight tips that close together, giving a soft yet voluminous effect.
The Outcome: Generally, YY lashes are such a great combination of the ease of classic lashes application with amazing coverage & voluminous outcome of volume lashes. You can achieve a Fluffy & volume effect with classic application, in half the time, without compromising retention!
W eyelash extensions
W lashes come in different variations, including 3D, 4D, and 5D W lashes. Each number represents how many lash strands are bonded together in a W-shaped design, offering different levels of fullness and texture.
These lashes come pre-made into fans on the strip, significantly reducing application time. Their unscattered root design allows lash artists to pick up the fans with ease. Additionally, their flat base enhances the lash line’s darkness while providing a larger bonding surface, improving retention by 55% compared to regular lashes.
