What Is the Difference Between Easy Fanning and Premade Fans?

Easy fanning lashes are individual lash strips that open into a fan when pressure is applied to the base — the artist controls the fan size and shape during application. Premade fans are factory-formed fans that are ready to pick up and place directly onto the natural lash, with no fan creation required. Both methods deliver volume results without traditional hand-fanning technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 during application. Premade fans are factory-formed and ready to place directly, with no fan creation required. 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% compared to easy fanning. This makes them 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 — ideal for beginners who want immediate volume results. 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. A common technique uses premade fans for speed in the base zones and easy fanning lashes for custom sizes in specific areas such as the inner corner or outer flick.

Which gives a more natural result?

Easy fanning lashes allow more customisation of fan width and shape, which can produce a more organic, natural-looking result. Premade fans are more uniform, which suits clients who prefer a consistent, polished finish.
