What is Silk Lash Extension? Volume vs Classic Techniques

TEO Lash Artist5 February 2026 5 min read

Silk, mink and hybrid lashes; the craft and aftercare of natural-looking silk extensions.

Silk lash extension involves attaching synthetic silk fibres one-by-one onto your natural lashes. The result: natural yet defined, fuller lashes.

Classic (1:1)

One synthetic fibre per natural lash. The most natural look — favoured by guests who wear little makeup.

Volume

3-6 very fine fibres are fanned onto each natural lash. A fuller, made-up look.

Hybrid

A balanced mix of classic and volume. Ideal for those who want both natural and defined.

Care and Refills

Silk lashes need a refill every 3-4 weeks with your natural shedding cycle. Oil-based eye makeup removers shorten lash life.

What are silk lash extensions?

Silk lash extension is a service in which very fine synthetic fibres are attached one by one onto your own lashes. The fibres are so light that you stop noticing them during the day. There are three techniques: classic, volume and hybrid.

How long does a lash appointment take?

Classic application takes 90-120 minutes, volume 2-2.5 hours and mega volume up to 3 hours. The fibres are placed one by one with tweezers.
