Lash Clusters vs Strip Lashes

What Are Lash Clusters?

Lash clusters are small segments of lashes applied underneath the natural lash line to create a seamless lash extension look.

DIY lash clusters are designed to mimic professional lash extensions while allowing you to apply them at home.

When applied with lash adhesive, lash clusters can last 7–10 days, making them a long-lasting alternative to strip lashes.



What Are Strip Lashes?

Strip lashes are full lash bands that sit on top of the natural lash line.

They are designed for temporary wear and are usually removed at the end of the day.

Strip lashes can create dramatic looks, but they often require daily application and removal.
