What are the fanned fans ?
Fanned fan also be known as premade fan. Just like the name , this fan means the lashes be a fan already. Which are produced by the factory or some manufacturer , when it arrived at the lash artist hands which is already a fans like , then can be grafted on the clients’ natural lashes directly.
And due to the demand of premade fan flower is various so that we (manufacturer)also invented many different types to meet the various demand of flower, just like short stem or long stem , equal tips or unequal tips, and so on . However, there are mainly two classification of premade fan . One is heat-bonded lashes, the other one is glue-bonded lashes.
And there are many different packaging of them , like the loose fans: many fans be putted in a jar , or a case; or like the volume fans, packaging on a strips.
And What’s the difference between two type pre-made fan? Root of Bonded fan is bonding by the glue, Heat -bonded means its roots sealed together using the heat technology.
Glue bonded fan is similar like the handmade fans , which looks more natural when lash artist graft them on clients’ natural lashes.
Which differences have long stem , short stem , how many hairs , the curl and the thickness. Some one said the premade fan is too heavy for clients , due to the many hairs are using glue and then grafting on one lashes . And some thick premade fan will take more glue , when they on clients’ lashes which will be a little chunk on clients’ lashes.
Second: HEAT-BONDED FANNED FAN
Heat-bonded fan will more light than traditional premade fan, and will not clump much adhesive , if you are caring about these two factors , maybe you can have a look about heat-bonded lashes. Which root using heat technology to put them together so it feel like one lashes only .
However, you can see from the stripes, the bottom of heat-fan is looks like a black line, so that will not look good as glue-bonded fan well.
Advantages of premade fan
Even premade fan is not very natural like the volume fans, however which is also have so many advantages to let us choose it. Premade fan also be a fan already so that can be save much time for lash artist to make a new fan by their own hand. You can treat more clients and there are more time to do other things, like to practice a volume fan with that time. Premade fan , especially the heat-boned lashes, which can be easier to control the glue , so lash artist want to remove them which will be easier ,too.
And there are many different types can be choose, and many size can meet different demand. Which means that when you decide to buy it , you also should make sure the lash mapping and a range of sizes. Generally , sinolashes’s 3~10D, 0.05 or 0.07 mm thickness is the most choice by customer, selling very well.
