Wispy eyelash extensions are one of the hottest lash trends in 2025.

If you love a soft, fluttery, and textured look, this style might be perfect for you. Whether you prefer a subtle boost or an extra volume lash look, wispy lashes offer endless possibilities.

In this blog post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the wispy look. We'll look at the different styles available and who they’re best suited for and show you how to maintain them for long-lasting beauty.

What Are Wispy Lash Extensions?

Inspired by Kim Kardashian, this style focuses on dimension, depth, and a dreamy, soft finish.

Wispy lash extensions can be created using classic lashes, hybrid lashes, or volume lashes, depending on the desired effect. They use a mix of lengths and sometimes even curls for a more natural appearance. Spike lashes can be strategically placed to create a fluttery, textured look.

Different Types of Wispy Eyelashes

Your lash stylist can customize the wispy look to match your eye shape and style preference.

Here’s a breakdown of how we can accomplish this feathery look with each type of lash extension:

Classic Wispy Extensions

Classic lashes can be used for subtle enhancement while achieving a fluttery, textured effect.

A wispy look is achieved by applying a shorter base layer and placing longer lashes throughout to create spikes. Using a mix of different lengths throughout adds to a more textured appearance.

The wet lash look, where volume lashes are applied as closed fans, can also create the look of classic lashes with a custom, wispy effect.

Hybrid Wispy Extensions

Hybrid lashes blend classic and volume techniques for a textured, airy look.

Lash artists create spikes by mixing longer individual lashes with small volume fans, giving the set definition and softness.

Hybrid balances natural and dramatic, making it an excellent option for those who want more dimension.

Volume Wispy Extensions

Volume wispy lashes use premade or handmade lash fans to create extra volume and a bold, fluffy effect.

This style blends spike lashes with volume fans for a textured, feathery appearance with added depth and drama. The fans are carefully placed between longer spikes for a perfect balance of density and wispiness for a voluminous yet airy lash look.

Mega Volume Wispy Extensions

Mega volume is the most dramatic option to achieve a feathery look. It creates intense volume while still maintaining a wispy effect.

Lash artists achieve this by combining different lengths throughout with volume fans of varying sizes.

Mega will give you a statement lash look with maximum impact and density.
