Shelash Just Dropped Two New Lashes: YY and W Lashes ! As two of our most highly anticipated releases, the YY and W lashes are finally here! In this blog, we're breaking down the differences between them and helping you decide which style is the perfect fit for you.
What are W lashes
W eyelash extensions are a specialized type of lash designed with a distinct W-shaped fan at the base, which opens into three or more tapered tips. This unique structure creates a dramatic, high-volume effect while maintaining a lightweight feel, as the multi-ended design distributes density evenly without overloading your natural lashes. Ideal for clients seeking bold, eye-catching results with added depth and texture.
Crafted from high-quality German PBT fiber, these W-shaped lash extensions are 100% cruelty-free and never tested on animals. Featuring a matte, intense black color, they provide a soft yet dramatically voluminous look while remaining as easy to apply as classic lashes. The flat-based design enhances the lash line for a deeper appearance and increases the adhesive contact area, resulting in outstanding durability—up to 55% longer wear than standard extensions—without sacrificing comfort or application ease.
What are YY Lashes
YY lashes are a hybrid style that combines the definition of classic lashes with the fullness of volume lashes. Each lash strand is designed with a double-pronged "Y" shape that splits into two fine tips, creating a naturally soft and feathery appearance. Delivering more density than classic lashes yet a more understated effect than W lashes, YY extensions offer a balanced and adaptable option for a wide range of lash looks.
Similar to premade fans, YY lashes are crafted by weaving together four individual lash strands and securing them firmly at the base, resulting in an attractive criss-cross design. A standout characteristic of YY lashes is their broad, flat base, which not only enhances the darkness of the lash line but also offers a larger adhesive area for improved durability—extending wear by up to 55% compared to standard lash extensions.
In contrast to typical YY lashes that feature more widely splayed ends, our version is designed with straight, closely aligned tips for a smoother and more uniformly voluminous look.
