What is Premade Loose Fans?
The term “loose” refers to how they are packaged: instead of being attached to strips or trays like some other premade fans, loose fans are individual clusters placed freely in a box or container, often in quantities like 500 or 1000 per box. This format allows lash artists to pick them up with tweezers and organize them as needed, typically on a silicone pad, before application.
They are designed to save time compared to hand-making fans during a session, making them popular for busy professionals or those offering express volume sets.
Premade loose fans can vary in characteristics like curl (e.g., C, D), length (e.g., 6mm to 20mm), thickness (e.g., 0.03mm to 0.15mm), and base type (e.g., pointy or wider stems). They are often handmade by skilled technicians rather than machine-made, ensuring a more natural, fluffy look similar to custom volume fans, though they still differ from “promade” fans (a term sometimes used to emphasize their handmade, professional quality).
They’re ideal for creating styles like Russian volume, hybrid, or wispy lash sets without the time-intensive process of fanning lashes manually.
While premade and promade fans are similar in that they’re both pre-assembled eyelash extension fans ready for use by lash artists, they’re not exactly the same – though the distinction can depend on how a supplier or artist uses the terms. Here’s the breakdown to clarify:
Why They Might Seem the Same
- Both are made in advance (not hand-fanned during a client appointment).
- Both come in forms like loose fans or trays, ready to be picked up and applied.
- In casual use, some people and brands use the terms interchangeably, which blurs the line.
Why They’re Not Identical
- Premade Loose Fans: A broader category. These can be machine-made or handmade by a supplier, with varying quality. They’re designed for convenience and speed, but the focus isn’t always on premium craftsmanship. You might get a budget-friendly, machine-made premade fan with a thicker base or a decent handmade one it’s a mixed bag.
- Promade Loose Fans: A specific subset, usually implying higher quality. The term “promade” (short for “professional-made”) suggests they’re handmade by skilled technicians, not machines, with an emphasis on lightweight bases, natural fanning, and a polished look that rivals custom-made fans. It’s a marketing distinction to signal superior artistry.
The Real Difference Between Promade & Premade Loose Fans
Think of it like food: all premade meals are prepared ahead of time, but a “promade” meal would be one crafted by a chef with top-tier ingredients, while a generic premade one might come from a factory assembly line. In lashes, “premade” is the umbrella term, and “promade” is a premium version within that category though not every supplier sticks to this nuance.
Are They the Same to You?
If you’re asking from a practical standpoint (e.g., “Can I use them the same way?”), then yes, they function similarly: you apply them to natural lashes with adhesive, no fanning required. But if you’re comparing quality, consistency, or how they’re made, they’re not identical-promade is meant to stand out as the fancier option. Does that clear it up, or were you thinking of a specific context where they seem indistinguishable?
