Private label eyelash extensions

Types of private label eyelash extensions

Private label eyelash extensions come in many kinds, catering to different tastes and requirements. Each kind is distinguished by its length, volume, curl and material. They include the following:

• Classic Extensions

  These are the most basic extensions. They add length to natural lashes but not much more. They are a good choice for those who want subtle changes or wish to avoid the more dramatic looks that other kinds can provide. Classic extensions use a one-to-many ratio of 1:1. A single synthetic lash is attached to each of the natural lashes. They are suitable for all eye shapes and are available in various lengths, thicknesses and curls to suit every need. They create a natural look and are ideal for those looking for a more natural appearance.

• Volume Extensions

  Volume extensions provide more than just length. They create a fuller and more voluminous look. These extensions use a multi-lash application technique. Many lightweight lashes are fan out and attached to each individual natural lash. This method is used to create a dramatic, voluminous look. Volume extensions are available in different styles, such as the Russian volume, which is a very full and voluminous lash look. They may take longer to apply due to the multi-lash application technique.

• Hybrid Extensions

  These combine classic and volume extension styles. They use both classic and volume extension lashes to create a mixed look. They provide the benefits of both types and are suitable for those who wish to combine both approaches. They are especially good for those whose natural lashes may not support the weight of the volume lashes. They create a more textured and natural look.

• Specialty Extensions

  These extensions offer unique designs and patterns that stand out from the rest. They are suitable for those seeking a more dramatic look. Examples include glitter lashes, which have glitter particles, and feather lashes, which have a feather-like appearance. Other types include colored lashes made from colored material and designer lashes, which have unique designs and patterns.

How to choose private label eyelash extensions

There is a wide variety of private label lash extensions. Here are some tips to help buyers choose the right products.

• Know the Target Customers

  Think about the customers' needs and what kind of eyelash extensions they want. For example, do they want to make their lashes longer or fuller? Do they want a natural look or something more dramatic? Knowing what the customers like will help to choose the right kind of extensions to sell.

• Choose a Trusted Supplier

  It is important to find a supplier that makes high-quality eyelash extensions. Look for suppliers that use high-quality materials to make their products. Ask them about the processes they use to ensure the extensions are safe to use. Check their certifications to see if they meet the required quality standards.

• Look for Variety

  Offer different kinds of extensions to meet the needs of different customers. This includes different lengths, thicknesses, colors, and styles. By providing various options, customers will find something that matches their tastes.

• Think about Quality and Price

  It is important to provide high-quality extensions. However, it is also important to consider the selling price. Find a supplier that offers a good balance between quality and affordability. This will allow retailers to make good profits while offering quality products to their customers.

• Ask about Customization Options

  Find out if the supplier can customize the extensions. Some suppliers offer packaging customization options. This is a good way to build a brand that stands out. Some suppliers also offer custom extension styles, colors, and sizes.

• Request Samples

  Ask the supplier for samples before placing a large order. This can be done by making a sample order. Examine the quality of the sample closely. Test it by fixing it to a lash tray to see how it will look. When the samples are received, they can be used as a reference when making future orders.

• Consider Ordering Minimums

  Some manufacturers have minimum order requirements. Find out the quantity that can be ordered from different suppliers. Choose suppliers that have minimum order quantities that match the business model.

How to use private label eyelash extensions

Using eyelash extensions requires a skilled technician to apply the extensions safely and correctly. The technician will isolate each natural lash using tweezers and then apply a synthetic lash extension to it with a small amount of glue. The extensions are then attached to the natural lashes in groups or individually, depending on the client's preference.

It is essential to follow certain guidelines to ensure the extensions' longevity and protect the wearer's health. For example, clients should avoid using oil-based products around their eyes, such as makeup removers, as oil can break down the bond between the extension and the natural lash. They should also avoid rubbing their eyes or using mechanical eyelash curlers, as this can damage the extensions and natural lashes.

Clients should avoid swimming, sauna, and steam rooms for the first 24 hours after the initial application of the extensions, as the glue needs time to cure. It is also recommended that clients avoid wearing mascara or eye makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours after the application.

Lash extension refills should be done every 2-3 weeks at home to maintain the look. Clients may be required to attend a refill appointment once a month, depending on the growth cycle of their natural lashes. It is important for clients to understand the importance of not using excessive cotton pads or Q-tips to clean the eye area, as they can dislodge the extensions.

It is crucial for clients to seek a qualified lash technician with proper training and certification, as well as health and safety requirements. Unqualified technicians can pose a risk to the client's health if the extensions are not applied correctly.

Features, functions, and design of private label eyelash extensions

Private label lash extensions have many features and functions that meet beauty technicians' and customers' needs. Here are some of them:

• Material

  Extensions are made of silk, mink, or synthetic fibers. Silk and mink lashes are soft and lightweight. They are comfortable to wear for long periods. Silk lashes have a slight shine, while mink ones look natural and have a matte finish.

  Bulk mink lashes are made from animal fur. They are reusable for a long time. Users can clean and reuse them many times. But some mink lashes are single-use only. This makes them more economical than synthetic extensions in the long run. Users who choose mink lashes must ensure they don't cause any allergic reactions.

  On the other hand, synthetic fiber extensions are more affordable. They are budget-friendly single-use lashes. Synthetic lashes have diverse designs and can be used for dramatic looks.

• Length

  The length of private label eyelash extensions can vary. They range from 6 mm to 20 mm or more. Many extension kits have lashes between 8 mm and 15 mm. The most common lengths are 9 mm and 12 mm. These are average sizes that fit most people.

  Those below 8 mm add a baby face look, while those above 15 mm give a doll-like appearance. Extensions that are too long may weigh down natural lashes and cause discomfort.

• Thickness

  Extensions come in different thicknesses measured in mm. The thickness affects the overall look and the weight of the lashes. A larger number means thicker extensions. A thicker lash gives a more dramatic look. For example, 0.15 mm lashes are thicker than 0.10 mm ones. The former is more suitable for volume and mega volume lash looks.

• Bunching

  Bunching refers to the way the lashes are arranged. In a tray, the lashes can be in a straight line or in clusters. Those in clusters are pre-fanned and grouped in bundles. They are ready to be applied in groups to the eyelid. Lash technicians don't have to fan them out before application.

• Curvature

  The curvature of the lashes is also called the base shape. It is the part of the extension that is applied to the eyelid. The most common base shapes are C, D, U, and flat. They have different levels of curvature and provide varying degrees of comfort during use.
