Russian volume attaches a fan of fine extension fibres to one isolated natural lash to create a fuller appearance.

Also seen as: Volume lashes

What the term means.

Volume work can create different levels of softness and density. Opening, fibre selection and distribution influence the result. The method is not defined by one compulsory curl, length or strand count.

A classic attachment uses a single fibre, a volume attachment uses a suitable grouping and hybrid combines those approaches. When describing a reference photograph, distinguish the smoothness or texture of its outline from the fullness that appears beneath it.

The technical details.

Attachment
One suitable fan per isolated natural lash
Fibre choice
Fine extensions selected for the grouping
D notation
Strand count within a fan
Separate choices
Curl, length, opening and map

These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.

A common question.

Is Russian volume the same as mega-volume?

Mega-volume is a fuller design direction within volume work, but the boundary is not universal. The actual construction and finish are more precise than the label.
