FAQ
1. Are 10D fans safe for natural lashes?
Yes, when matched to strong, healthy natural lashes. The total weight of a 10D fan using 0.03mm lashes is equivalent to a single 0.15mm classic extension. Never apply 10D fans to fine or weak natural lashes.
2. Which is better for beginners?
5D fans. They are easier to handle and place, and the lighter fan weight is more forgiving if placement is not perfect.
3. Can I mix 5D and 10D fans in one set?
Yes. A popular technique uses 5D fans in the inner zone and 10D fans in the outer-centre zone for a graduated volume effect.
4. How do I know if my client’s natural lashes can support 10D fans?
Assess natural lash thickness and strength before the appointment. If natural lashes are fine or sparse, stick to 5D or lower. If they are thick and healthy, 10D fans are appropriate.
5. Do 10D fans last as long as 5D fans?
Yes. Retention is comparable at 5–7 weeks for both, assuming correct application and aftercare.
