Y and W lashes are a type of lash extension that can be applied with a classic application technique but will create a light volume set, similar to pre-made fans. In this blog we look further into what the difference is between YY and W lashes and what makes them so popular. 
Both W & YY lashes can create light volume sets with ease. W lashes are designed to appear in the shape of a ‘W’ which consists of lash extensions bonded together to form a pre-made fan. Similarly to the W lashes, YY lashes have been designed in the shape of a double layered ‘Y’. 
The main difference between W & YY lashes is the number of lashes per fan. YY Lashes have 4 lashes per fan that form the shape of a double layered Y, whereas the W lashes have 6 lashes per pre-made fan that form the shape of a W. The photos below show the difference between the two fans.
