Both methods deliver volume results without traditional hand-fanning — but they suit very different workflows and skill levels. Here is how to choose.
Quick Answer (Read This First)
Choose Easy Fanning if you want: to build volume technique, control fan size per client or zone, and develop skills that transfer to hand-fanning.
Choose Premade Fans if you want: the fastest application, consistent fan shapes every time, and a beginner-friendly entry into volume lashing.
Both deliver 5–7 weeks retention. → Shop Easy Fanning Lashes

How to Decide: Quick Decision Guide
Step 1: What is your priority — speed or skill development?
Step 2: What is your current skill level — complete beginner or building volume technique?
Step 3: Do you need custom fan sizes per client, or is consistency more important?

FAQ
What is the difference between easy fanning and premade fans?
Easy fanning lashes open into a fan when pressure is applied to the base, giving the artist control over fan size. Premade fans are factory-formed and ready to place directly. Easy fanning builds technique; premade fans prioritise speed and consistency.
Are premade fans faster to apply?
Yes. Premade fans eliminate the fan-making step, reducing application time by 30–50% — ideal for high-volume appointment schedules.
Which is better for beginners?
Both work for beginners but for different reasons. Premade fans remove the fan-creation barrier entirely. Easy fanning lashes help beginners develop volume technique skills that transfer to hand-fanning later.
Is retention different between the two?
No significant difference when applied correctly. Both offer 5–7 weeks retention with proper prep, adhesive choice, and client aftercare.
Can I mix both in one set?
Yes. Use premade fans for speed in base zones and easy fanning lashes for custom sizes in specific areas such as the inner corner or outer flick.
