The search for "premade volume lashes" can refer to several different products: professional premade fans, Fast Fanning lashes, or ready-made DIY clusters. They are not used in the same way. This guide will help you distinguish between the categories before choosing a product.
Quick Answer
Premade fans are pre-formed professional fans. Handmade fans are shaped by the stylist during the procedure. Fast Fanning lashes help the fibers open up but still require professional placement. DIY clusters are a separate system for home use and should not be confused with salon-applied volume fans.
Four terms that are often confused
Handmade fans are shaped from thin volume fibers. Premade fans are delivered pre-formed. Fast Fanning fibers are lightly held together and open when picked up. DIY clusters have a wider base and are applied with a bond and seal system for temporary home use.
Handmade volume fans
The hand-made method provides high control over the fan's width, symmetry, and number of fibers. The stylist can customize each fan to the natural lash. The downside is that the technique requires training and takes longer to perform consistently.
Premade fans
Professional pre-formed fans can provide a fast and consistent workflow. Always check the base construction, total weight, diameter, and whether the product is intended for professional extension techniques. Bellestore's current range should be checked on the product page as the selection may change.
Fast Fanning is not the same as premade
Fast Fanning lashes are on a strip and help the stylist form a fan when the fibers are picked up. They are not finished fans in the exact same sense as premade fans. The method offers more shaping possibilities than a completely finished fan but is more controlled than traditional manual fanning.
DIY clusters are their own category
Easy Lashes and other DIY clusters are attached under your own lashes with bond and seal and are intended for home use for a shorter period. They should not be applied with professional cyanoacrylate adhesive and are not a substitute for salon-performed eyelash extensions.
Professional checklist
- Always check whether the product is for professional extensions or DIY.
- Compare fiber diameter, base, length, and intended adhesive system.
- Choose handmade for maximum individual control.
- Choose Fast Fanning for a more efficient yet still customizable flow.
- Always follow the product's intended application method.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Fast Fanning lashes premade volume lashes?
Not entirely. The fibers are prepared to open up more easily, but the stylist still shapes and places the fan professionally.
What are premade fans?
These are professional volume fans that have already been shaped before the treatment and are delivered ready to be picked up and applied.
Are DIY clusters the same as premade fans?
No. DIY clusters have a different area of use, a different base, and a different attachment system for home use.
Which is the fastest to work with?
Premade fans and Fast Fanning can streamline the fanning process, but total treatment time is also affected by isolation, mapping, and the stylist's work pace.
Are handmade fans always best?
Not universally. They offer the greatest freedom in shaping, while prepared alternatives can provide a more even and efficient workflow. The right choice depends on technique and goals.
