Okay, so remember when I used to spend literally 45 minutes trying to get my strip lashes to sit right? Girl, I'd be in the bathroom mirror with tweezers shaking, glue everywhere, one lash pointing north and the other heading west. Then I discovered these Violet lashes with the thicker band and honestly, it changed how I approach false lashes completely.

What Makes These Different
Not gonna lie, when I first saw "thick band" I was skeptical. Like, won't that be heavy? Won't it look obvious? But here's the thing about thick band lashes - they're actually way more forgiving for beginners. That thicker band gives you something substantial to grip with your tweezers, and it doesn't fold or twist while you're trying to position it. Plus, it creates this natural eyeliner effect so you don't need to be perfect with your liquid liner underneath.
These Violet lashes are 3D mink, which basically means they have multiple layers that create depth without adding weight. In the salon, we'd use similar styles for clients who wanted drama but still needed to be comfortable for hours. The natural color blends seamlessly with most lash colors too. No harsh black line that screams "I'M WEARING FALSE LASHES" from across the room.
Here's what really sold me though - the suggested 20-25 wears. I've gotten 15 solid wears out of mine so far and they still look fresh. The secret? That thicker band actually holds its shape better through cleaning. Regular thin bands can get wonky after a few washes, but these bounce right back.
The Real Application Tips
Real talk, the thick band does need a slightly different application technique. You want to let your glue get tackier than usual - like wait a full 30 seconds after applying. The thicker band needs that extra grip. I hold the lash with tweezers right at the center, look down into a handheld mirror, and place the middle first. Then I use the back of the tweezers to press down the inner and outer corners.
For cleaning, I soak a Q-tip in micellar water and run it along the band after each wear. Gets all the glue off without soaking the whole lash. Takes maybe 30 seconds per lash and seriously extends their life.
Bottom Line
Girl, if you've been struggling with flimsy lashes that won't cooperate, these thick band Violets are your answer. They're forgiving for beginners but polished enough that I still reach for them when I want reliable drama. That purple-toned style name might sound bold, but these deliver a surprisingly wearable, natural-looking volume that works for day or night. Trust me, once you try the thick band life, those super thin bands start feeling like trying to apply wet spaghetti to your eyes.
