Move over, Mega Volume. There is a new texture dominating the lash industry, and it looks like you just stepped out of the ocean. Enter: The Wet Set. This style has exploded in popularity because it bridges the gap between the “strip lash” look and the fluffiness of volume. But what exactly is it?
The Technique: Closed Fans In a traditional Volume set, we pinch the lash fibers to fan them out, creating a fluffy, soft cloud of darkness. For a Wet Set, we do the opposite. We intentionally keep the volume fans “closed” or use narrow spikes. The Effect: This creates thicker, bolder bundles of lashes that taper to a sharp point. It mimics the way your lashes look when they are wet in the shower—glossy, textured, and defined.
Weight Distribution & Health Even though the Wet Set looks bold, it is surprisingly safe for your natural lashes. Because we are using lighter weight fibers (typically 0.03 or 0.05 diameter) bundled together, we can achieve the look of a heavy classic lash without the actual weight that causes damage. It’s high impact, low strain.
The “Kim K” Effect This style is often compared to the “Kim K” or “Wispy” look because it relies heavily on texture. It’s not a uniform wall of black; it has peaks and valleys. This uneven top line creates a spiky, fluttering effect that opens up the eye and creates a lift that traditional dense volume sometimes hides.
Maintenance & Grow Out One of the best benefits of the Wet Set is the grow-out. Because the lashes are applied in spikes, as they shed, the gap is less noticeable than losing a massive mega-volume fan. It maintains a piece-y, textured look throughout the weeks.
If you want the drama of a strip lash but the convenience of extensions, the Wet Set is your answer. It’s modern, edgy, and effortlessly chic. Ready to look effortlessly chic?
