Easy fans vs. Pre-made fans vs. Pro-made fans: What’s the Difference?

HANDMADE VS. PREMADE VS. PROMADE

HANDMADE FANS

Handmade fans are volume fans which you learned to create in your Russian Volume lash training. As all lash techs know, you position your lash fan, dip the base of the lashes into adhesive and then secure this fan onto the natural lash. Handmades can be created from the volume lashes of your choosing, whether you prefer a Velvet, Velour or Blended finish. Handmades are a tried-and-tested way to create beautiful volume fans for your client’s Russian lashes.

The only problem? Handmade fans can be tricky to create, especially if you’re busy, and they take a lot of time.

EASY FANS

Easy fan lashes are very similar to individual lashes which you use to create handmades, but they offer a slightly simpler way to create volume fans. BELO easy fans are heat bonded at the base of the synthetic lash so that you can create volume fans without relying solely on adhesive. As the bases of the individual lashes bond together without glue, it gives you more time to perfect the fan and apply it to the natural lashes before your adhesive dries.

PREMADE FANS

Premade lash fans are machine-made volume fans for Russian volume lash extension applications. These fans should not be mistaken with cluster lashes, which are wholly unsuitable for semi-permanent lash applications. Premade lashes can save technicians lots of time when lashing, but can expose a lack of expertise in the finished look.

Premade fans are individual lashes which have been bonded together to create volume fans for quick lash applications. Though this sounds like an ideal solution for lash artists who are poor on time, premades are very uniform in appearance and lack the artistic flair that many clients want to see in their eyelash extensions. It can be difficult to create wispy, fluffy lash sets with premades as the individual lash fibres will be very regular and lack a bespoke feel.

At BELO, we prefer to use promade fans as they offer the same savings on application time as premade fans but offer a luxe, unique effect which simply cannot be created in machine-made lash fans.

PROMADE FANS

Promade lashes give you the best of both worlds. They are both handmade and premade!

Promade fans are beautiful, handmade, unique volume fans which are ready-to-go for you to use in your eyelash extension treatments. Yes, technically speaking, promade fans are ‘pre-made’ but the crucial difference is that promade fans are made by hand whereas premade lashes are machine-made. Promade fans are created to mimic handmade fan techniques, with each and every fan being as unique as you!
