For a long time, volume lashes, also known as volume fans, have been one of the two most basic eyelash extensions; the other is the classic ones. Volume eyelashes combine many different eyelash extensions, which are glued together at the base of the lashes.

- The necessary tools to create handmade volume lashes
To create basic volume lashes, you need to prepare yourself with the two most necessary tools, which are eyelash extension glue and tweezers. Of course, don't forget the individual eyelash extensions that have the same parameters.
Eyelash extension glue is one of the indispensable tools in the process of creating eyelash fans. It has the effect of glueing individual lashes together into a unified whole on the same eyelash root. Whether the eyelash extension fan is durable or not is directly determined by the quality of the glue, so you should use glue from famous brand names to ensure the quality of the eyelash extension fan when using. The next important tool is tweezers. There are many types of tweezers on the market, but when creating eyelash extension volume fans, you will need to use two types of tweezers: dedicated fan tweezers and eyelash tweezers. Volume fan tweezers usually have a pointed and slightly flat tip structure to facilitate the process of holding eyelashes when picking.
Besides, you also need to be ready to prepare a few other tools such as adhesive tape, silicone pad or button for creating eyelash fans,... to make the process of creating volume eyelashes more convenient and faster.

- How to make handmade volume lashes?
Basically, if you want to create beautiful and quality volume fans, pay attention to the following three basic steps.
+ Step 1: Sanitise your hands and fan making tools
To ensure that the eyelash extension fan does not get dusty during the process and also to ensure the safety of your clients' eyes, first, you need to clean your hands with hand sanitizer or soap before proceeding to create volume lashes. This is followed by sterilization and cleaning of the fan-making tools and tweezers.
+ Step 2: Use fan-making tweezers to pick up individual lashes
After cleaning and disinfecting the tweezers thoroughly, you will use specialized tweezers to separate the individual eyelash extensions from the eyelash line to form small fans. The number of lashes on each eyelash fan will be up to you.
+ Step 3: Spread your fans evenly
Hold the false lashes with the fan tweezers, then use your index finger and thumb to gently stroke at the base of the lashes. This should only be gentle. You will roll them and roll gently between your fingers. This will make the tops of each eyelash gradually separate but still gather at the same root; when you see the tops spread like a fan, then you dip the eyelashes in a sufficient amount of glue and wait for them to dry to have a perfect handmade fan.
