Similarly, you can promote the spike eyelashes to people who are just in demand for a new look sometimes, and then when they go to practice, they will become your loyal lash clients who take good care of their lashes over the years.

Furthermore, they are a young generation. Words of mouth from this generation will be much more voiced on the Internet than any other media expression.

- People who love anime and comic

Lastly, we can not deny that beautiful comic book characters inspire spike lashes. So, why not promote your new spike eyelash extensions to the people who love anime in particular and comic books in general?

How To Make Lash Extension Spikes?

Eyelash extension spikes are normally made from 3, 5, 6, or 8 lash strands placed together to form closed fans. Here is the detailed process of how to make spike eyelashes:

Sealer Method

Step 1

Apply some sealer on a micro swab to the eyelashes to make them all clump together.

Step 2

Removing (peeling) a few lashes from the lash strip without spreading them out. You still desire all of the lash bases to be connected and aligned, so remove those that aren't.

Step 3

Dip the lash spike in the glue and place it on the client's natural lashes.

Primer Method

Prepare the lip gloss applicator to run it through the lash strip. You need to use the quality Primer to put a bit on your lip gloss applicator (don't use too much because if you do, you may soak the lashes). 

Once you do, you see all the lashes are now gathering together. As they clump together, they already form spikes. 

Stick your tweezers and separate them to get how many lashes you want in a lash spike. You also need to pay attention to the lash diameter as even if it is a spike, it is a volume fan, so the more lash strands and bigger diameter you choose for the spikes, the heavier it pushes on natural lashes. You may want to find the balance to protect the natural lashes' health.

Pick them up from the tip or closer to the tip and pull against toward you. Suppose the bottom of the lashes is falling apart (separated), don't worry. It is fixable. You can dip it into the glue, and it all comes together. The perfect spike must be super pointy, very dense, and thick. They will be great for a strip lash look.

Sometimes, you will encounter some problems, like the base being separated, the top fanning out, or lash strands not being aligned. You can fix them by adding more primer to close the fanning and shimmer around to get a perfect spike. Sometimes, there are messes, or anything gets in the way. Just get rid of it. Sometimes, when you do not have a clean pull-off, just disregard it. 

Grab, Pinch And Dip

You are going to grab the number of lash strands you desire off the lash strip lash. Pinch the top. 

As you can see, it is separated at the bottom. So what we are going to do is use the lash adhesive to get them stuck together, and when you do that, slowly release a bit of pressure into your tweezers. 

This way, it allows the glue to kind of connect like a magnet, and then your fan will be closed into a spike. Ensure that you release some pressure when dipping into the glue if the bottom base of your spike is separated. You can choose primer or sealant to make the lashes close together.  

Or you can try another way: grab, dip and pinch the top. Just make sure the lash base sticks together, and the top will be spiky anyway because you are squeezing it after you dip it into the glue. 

Again, you can repeat the process. Identify a number of lash strands you need, and pull them up against you, pinching the top to make them stick together. As the bottom roots are separated, just dip it into glue, pull out slowly, swipe, and re-pinch the top if needed to make them closed.

Big Dip

This is a challenging yet risky method to do spike lashes as you will dip deep the lash roots fan into the glue dot, so it may affect natural lashes if lash artists do not control the weight of the spikes. 

You are kind of submerging half of the spikes into the glue dot. When you put on the lash glue like that high up to the lash, you can see that it kind of closes that fan already because there's so much glue on it. 

The only thing is it is really dangerous because if you put way too much glue and way too much lash, it will damage the natural eyelash, so make sure you're just gonna grab a little bit if you're gonna use this one, but this method of making lash spikes is great for beginners because it is really easy. 

You just take it off, dip it into the glue, and most likely, it closes. You'll even see this with big fans if you accidentally dip your fan into a lot of glue. But again, be careful. You don't want to ruin anyone's eyelashes.

Note: If you accidentally squeeze the bottom, the top will automatically spread and fan out (open up). Therefore when making lash spikes, be careful. If it fans out and you can not save it, you must completely disregard it. 

If, after your spikes have dried, it fans out and it isn't so spiky anymore, you must remember to dip it further up the spike. If you only dip the end, the glue will dry and lash roots can fall out. 

Strip lashes: You should try to achieve a more closed fan, a sharp fan. Something super pointy, and it really accentuates that spike. 

Hybrid wispy: You will need a spike that is not as close as strip lashes spikes. Keep the fluffiness intact a little bit and you have the beautiful wispy set.

As you can see, making lash spikes is not an easy job. You must invest more time, energy and even money to have perfect lash spikes. 

Besides, the process is pretty challenging. Not only do lash artists need to control to let it stay closed, but they must also ensure the shape of it is pointy and never falling apart. 

You also need a quality, easy lash fan tray to be able to control the glue amount at the lash fan to exclude the scenario that the fan causes heavy natural lashes. However, there is always a solution or shortcut to anything.

If you want to speed up the lash process and own perfect lash spikes, you can choose premade spiked lashes. They are ready to graft closed fans, 100% handmade by artisans. Even lash experts choose to accompany Promade spike lash extensions not only because of the convenience but the long-term health protection. 

Still, LBLS always encourage lash artists to practice to make the best lash spikes whenever they have more free time. When you know exactly the process, you can always know what premium lash spikes look like. More importantly, practising will give you the full skill set you can battle with any challenging lash set.

What Thickness Should Lash Artists Use To Create The Spikes?

0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 mm are the most popular lash thickness to create lash spikes. You can apply the same rule of lash weight in volume lashes. 

Basically, spikes are volume lashes fans. They just don't fan out. So, it depends on your client's natural lash health and desired lash style. You can choose the suitable one. For example, for a hybrid lash set, you can go with 0.07. Mega and volume, you can go with 0.05.

Some suggestions you want to take note of for future reference are: 0.05 will give your clients a softer spiked appearance. 0.07 will send out a cleaner lash look. Similarly, 0.1 will be the densest and thick and impressive spike. 

Just remember to make the spikes stand out. That is the purpose we are looking for!

What Length Should Lash Artists Use To Create The Spikes?

Mix 11mm to 14mm or mix 14mm to 17mm. Just don't forget the spikes must be the longest lash on the overall look, and choose the proper one.

Remember that you also should measure the natural lash length before deciding the best lash spike length. 

How To Make The Best Spike Lashes Effect Set?

The key is to use different lengths to create those wisps and keep the base of the lashes relatively light so the spikes pop.

Get To Know Your Lash Clients

Asking Questions

The more questions you ask, the more you will comprehend what your clients desire and require. For example, ask them whether they need spike lash extensions for a trip, or event, or participate in a picture session/photo shoot.

Asking For A Template (Pics)

Request graphics by asking them to display saved Instagram pictures or bring their preferred strip lash. By which, you can visualize the lash look and its mapping

Analyzing Client's Eye Structure And Status

The realistic expectation will not be satisfied if the eye structure can not match the requirements for the lash set. That is why after getting the overall idea of your client's desire, you need to observe and analyze whether their lashes and eyes are the real material for spike lash styling. Some basic questions you need to answer are:

- What is your client's eye shape?

- What is the condition of natural lashes?

- Can your clients get this spike effect lash set or not?

Practical Application

Play Around With The Lash Curls

For a softer mix, you can use one curl throughout the whole set, like using only a C curl.

For a dramatic effect, use a variety of curls: CC and D blend.

Using Varying Lengths 

For a gentler blend, use the lengths spaced from 1mm to 2 mm apart. Use lengths spaced from 1mm to 4 mm apart for a dramatic appearance.

Lash Spikes 

The spikes are frequently the set's longest extensions. Lash artists should strategically put the spikes all over the set to get the final look that you are looking for

Mixing Different Lash Diameters

For instance: If you expect the spikes to be more outstanding, you can consider using a thicker lash diameter like 0.1 or 0.07 and then the lash's remainder can fill in with a thinner diameter.

How To Apply Spike Lashes?

Recommended Product For Spike Lashes Application
