If you’re ready to level up your lash artistry, mastering the mega volume lash set is a must. This bold, full, and ultra-fluffy style is the ultimate wow factor—and with the right products and technique, you can create it with confidence.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know: from choosing the best lash extension suppliesto fan sizes, tools, adhesives, and aftercare tips. Let’s get into it.
What Are Mega Volume Lash Extensions?
Mega volume lashes are the fullest and most dramatic sets in lash artistry. Unlike classic or traditional volume, mega volume uses ultra-lightweight lashes—usually in the .03 diameter range—to create fans of 8–16 lashes per natural lash.
The result? A rich, dense, and glamorous lash line that still feels soft and lightweight.
Products You Need to Create a Mega Volume Set
To achieve a beautiful and balanced mega volume lash set, you need high-quality, reliable tools. Here’s what we recommend:
💎 .03 Volume Lash Trays
These are essential for mega volume. Our EBL .03 lashes are ultra-lightweight, ultra-black, and fan like butter. They’re designed specifically for creating large, fluffy fans without weighing down the natural lash.

How Many Lashes Per Fan?
Mega volume is all about balance: drama + safety. Here’s a general guide based on lash health:
-
Healthy lashes: 10–16 .03 lashes per fan
-
Average lashes: 8–12 lashes per fan
-
Weaker lashes: 6–8 lashes per fan (or consider mixing with smaller fans)
Always assess the natural lashes before deciding on fan size. Even though .03 lashes are lightweight, proper weight distribution and isolation are still key.

How to Make a Mega Volume Fan (Step-by-Step)
There are a few ways to create beautiful, symmetrical volume fans, but two of the most beginner-friendly and reliable techniques are the fanning on the strip method and the sticky dot method. Here’s how to use each technique with your .03 volume lashes:
🔹 Fanning on the Strip Method
-
Grab a small section of lashes (8–16 depending on your fan size) directly from the strip using your 209 or 110 tweezer.
-
Gently pull the lashes toward you, keeping your tweezer slightly angled.
-
Use the tension of the strip to help the lashes splay into a fan shape.
-
Use your tweezer tip to adjust and perfect the fan width.
-
Dip the base of the fan into your Magic or Grand Rapid adhesive and apply directly to the isolated natural lash.
🔹 Sticky Dot Method
-
Place a small sticky dot or glue ring on your tile.
-
Pick up 8–16 .03 lashes from the strip.
-
Press the base lightly into the sticky surface, then wiggle or roll the lashes into a fan.
-
Adjust for symmetry and dip into adhesive.
For a tip: If you’re struggling to grip or shape the fan, the 110 tweezer with fiber grip gives you extra hold and control.
Aftercare Tips for Mega Volume Lash Extensions
Mega volume lashes are glamorous—but they still require TLC. Share these care tips with your clients to keep their lashes looking fresh and full:
-
Avoid oil-based products near the eyes
-
Clean lashes daily with an approved lash cleanser
-
Avoid heavy mascara, lash curlers, and rubbing
-
Schedule regular fills (every 2–3 weeks)
-
Brush gently with a clean spoolie daily
Proper aftercare helps maintain retention, keeps lashes fluffy, and prevents build-up at the base.
