Lash Fans 101: The Ultimate Guide for Flawless Volume Extensions
Creating the perfect volume lash set isn’t the easiest task – and even sometimes Novice lasher has to understand lash fans. At Swaniya Lashes, we specialize in both handmade or premade lash fans, providing your clients with a picture-perfect, personalized look. This guide discusses the kind of lash fans available, skills in use, fashions, and selection of the right ones for your clients.
What Is a Lash Fan?
A group of 2–10 superfine lashes are spread out and attached to one natural lash, forming a lash fan. These lash fans are applied in volume lash extensions to create more fullness without overloading the natural lash. The two main ones are: Handmade Lash Fans:
Handmade Lash Fans: Those which are crafted by the technician at the time of service.
Premade Lash Fans: Already built in factories and used directly for the purpose to save time.
