How to Create a Textured Volume Lash Set with Spikes and Fans

Want to elevate your volume sets with a little extra dimension and style? Let’s talk about the textured lash set—a fan-favorite look that combines varied lash lengths, strategically placed spikes, and soft volume fans to create a wispy, layered finish that clients love.

In this guide, we’ll break down:

• What makes a lash set “textured”

• How to design a balanced map using spikes + fans

• The exact products used to create this look (including our best-selling brown lashes!)

💡 What Is a Textured Lash Set?

A textured lash set is created by mixing different lengths of lash extensions within the same set—usually combining shorter volume fans with longer, more defined spikes. This creates dimension, movement, and a more natural or wispy effect, depending on your styling.

It’s a go-to style for clients who want volume without uniformity, and a great way to show off your artistry as a lash tech.

📍 Lash Map Breakdown: Spikes + Fans

Here’s the exact map used in the photo above:

🟫 Spikes (Black Numbers):
Longer, single lashes (13, 12, 11, 10) placed consistently across the lash line to create height and shape.

🟤 Fans (White Numbers):
Shorter volume fans (10, 9, 8, 7) placed between spikes to add density and soft fullness.

This particular map creates a balanced, eye-opening effect while keeping the texture soft and fluttery.

✅ Pro Tip: Vary your fan width to create more movement and dimension between sections.

✨ Tips for Creating the Perfect Textured Set

1. Place Spikes First
   Spikes act as your “anchors.” Start by mapping and placing them across the lash line, then fill in with fans.

2. Use Narrow Fans Between Spikes
   Keep the texture crisp by using narrow volume fans between the spikes—this prevents the look from becoming too fluffy.

3. Layer Your Lengths
   Mix lengths within your fans (ex: 8–9–10) to create layered depth.

4. Stick to the Map—but Flex as Needed
   Everyone’s eye shape is different! Use the map as a guide, but always adapt based on the client’s natural lash line.

5. Use a Tweezer with Precision Grip
   We recommend our Ultra Tip Tweezers for placing both spikes and delicate fans.
