Cluster Lashes VS Premade Fans

 

With the continuous development of eyelash industry, new eyelash extension styles are popping up all the time. Though traditional classic eyelash extensions and volume lash extensions still dominant, there’re many lash artists and consumers are curious & confused about the multifarious kinds of eyelashes, today I’m going to talk about the premade fan volume lash extensions, it’s becoming increasingly popular with novice eyelash technicians.

 

Premade fans lashes, simple to understand, the fans are premade in production chain before it comes to the market. It saves the time of lash artists making fans by hand, so it’s novice friendly.

 

For lash extension purpose, premade fans mainly have two kinds: bonded premade fans and tied premade fans (Individual Flare Cluster Eyelash Extensions or called ribbon lash extension).

 

So what’s the difference between Cluster Lashes VS Premade Fans?

 

1. Manufacture craft

Bonded Premade fan volume lash extensions are usually glue bonded or heat bonded in the root, finished products are usually cluster by cluster, hairs are combined with helps of molds and glues, also need more labor handling than traditional volume lash extensions.

Ribbon eyelash extension need workers to tie the hairs on a strip to form a cluster, it’s a fully handcraft fan. Finished products are usually in a strip, so also called ribbon lash extensions.

 

2. Material & Price

Premade fan lash extensions are made of milling PBT fibers, each hair in the fan are tapered off into a point to achieve a more natural effect.

Ribbon lash extensions are made of common synthetics fibers, all hairs in the fan are of a same thickness from root to tip, no more complicated procedures. Though fully handcrafted, ribbon lash extensions are quite cheaper than normal premade fan lash extensions.

 

3. Shapes

Premade fan volume lash extensions have 2D to 20D options, roots can be trimmed in long stems or short stems, tips can be made in same lengths or camellia lengths, there can be many variations according to customer requirements.

The ribbon lash extensions have a relatively simple choice, 10D &20D are the most ordered and usually 60 fans on a ribbon with uneven tips.

 

4. Applying way

Ribbon lash extensions can be called semi-finished products compared to normal premade fan lash extensions. Because they’re tied on a strip so before apply ribbon lash extensions, lash artists need to trim them out one by one while premade fan lash extensions only need tweezers to take fans off the tray just as traditional lash extensions.
