Eyelash extensions are the most popular beauty treatment in the UK, searched by thousands every month. But with so many terms — Classic, Hybrid, Volume, Wispy, Pro Made Fans, C Curl, D Curl — it’s easy to feel lost. This 2025 guide from Dollce Doll® explains everything lash techs and clients need to know, backed by industry-leading products and same-day dispatch.
Types of Eyelash Extensions
Classic Lashes
One extension per natural lash. Creates a natural, mascara-like effect. Best for beginners and clients wanting subtle enhancement.
Hybrid Lashes
A mix of Classic and Volume lashes (usually 50/50). Creates a textured, fluffy look. Extremely popular in the UK.
Volume Lashes
Multiple lightweight extensions per natural lash (2D–6D+). Creates a full, dramatic effect. Best for clients who want density and glamour.
Wispy / Kim K Lashes
Spikes of longer lashes placed across the lash line with shorter filler lashes. Creates a strip-lash style with textured dimension.

Different curls create different eye effects. The main curls are:
- C Curl — Natural, subtle lift.
- CC Curl — The most popular, universally flattering.
- D Curl — Dramatic lift, glamorous look.
- DD Curl — Extreme drama, bold sets.
- L Curl — Flat base + lifted tip, ideal for straight or hooded eyes.

Pro Made Fans vs Pre Made Fans
Many lash techs ask: are Pro Made Fans better? The answer is yes — if they’re high-quality heat-bonded fans like those from Dollce Doll®. Unlike cheap pre-mades with glue residue, our Pro Mades are clean, consistent and retention-friendly.

Retention & Aftercare
The biggest frustration for clients is retention. Extensions should last 5–7+ weeks with proper prep, adhesives, and aftercare. Key tips:
- Cleanse lashes daily with oil-free shampoo.
- Avoid oils, steam and rubbing for 24–48 hours.
- Use high-quality adhesive suited to room conditions.
- Rebook infills every 2–3 weeks.

Starter Lash Kits for Beginners
New lash techs often ask: what do I need to start? A proper kit includes lash trays, adhesives, tweezers, pads, and brushes. Starter Lash Kit Essentials 2025 explains everything you need.
Lash Mapping Styles
Mapping determines where to place lengths and curls. Popular maps:
- Classic Mapping — Gradual increase across lash line.
- Doll Eye — Longest in the middle for rounder eyes.
- Cat Eye — Longest at outer corners for winged effect.
- Squirrel — Peak before outer corner, lifted effect.
- Wispy/Kim K — Spikes for textured dimension.
