Strip fans, often referred to as pro-made strip fans or pre-made strip fans, are pre-crafted eyelash extension fans attached to a strip (typically foil-backed or silicone) for easy application. Each fan consists of multiple lash strands (e.g., 3D to 16D, meaning 3 to 16 lashes per fan) bonded at the base to create a voluminous, fanned-out effect. They’re designed for lash technicians to apply directly to a client’s natural lashes, saving time compared to manually creating fans during a session.
Key Features:
- Material: Usually made from synthetic fibers like Korean PBT, which is lightweight, soft, and durable.
- Types: Available in various curls (C, CC, D, L, M), lengths (8-17mm), and diameters (0.03-0.10mm) for styles like hybrid, Russian volume, or wispy looks.
- Strip Design: Fans are pre-arranged on a strip, making them easy to pick up with tweezers and apply.
- Purpose: Ideal for achieving fuller looks quickly, especially for clients with sparse or thin lashes, without overloading natural lashes.
Benefits:
- Time-Saving: No need to hand-make fans, cutting application time significantly (e.g., full sets in 1–2 hours).
- Beginner-Friendly: Requires only classic lash training, not advanced volume skills.
- Consistent Look: Ensures uniform fans for a polished result.
- Versatile: Suitable for dramatic mega volume or subtle natural sets.
Application:
- Technicians use tweezers to gently lift a fan from the strip, dip the base in adhesive, and attach it to an isolated natural lash (0.5–1mm above the lash line).
- Techniques like side or underneath placement ensure strong retention (lasting 4–6 weeks with care).
Difference from Other Lashes:
- Unlike strip lashes (temporary, full-strip falsies for one-day wear), strip fans are individual extensions for semi-permanent use.
- Unlike loose pro-made fans (not on strips), strip fans are pre-organized for faster workflow.
Applying strip fans (pro-made strip fans) requires precision to achieve a seamless, long-lasting look while keeping the client’s natural lashes safe. Below are detailed application steps and techniques tailored for strip lash fans, building on the context of our prior conversation about pro-made fans:

1. Preparation
- Client’s Lashes:
- Cleanse thoroughly with a lash-safe foam shampoo or micellar water to remove oils, makeup, and debris. Dry completely with a lint-free applicator.
- Avoid lash primer, as it can weaken adhesive bonds with pro-made fans, leading to poor retention.
- Tape the lower lashes down with medical-grade tape or use eye pads to isolate the upper lashes for easier access.
- Workstation Setup:
- Place the strip of pro-made fans (foil-backed or silicone) on a stable surface, like a silicone pad or lash tile, to prevent movement.
- Peel off any protective covering on the strip slowly to avoid damaging fans.
- Have ready: volume tweezers (fine-tipped, curved, e.g., 45-degree or L-shaped), isolation tweezers (straight or curved), low-humidity lash adhesive (1–2-second cure time), a jade stone or glue ring, and a nano-mister.
- Select Fans:
- Choose fans based on the client’s natural lashes and desired look:
- Diameter: 0.03–0.05mm for weak/thin lashes; 0.07mm for stronger ones.
- Density: 3D–6D for hybrid/natural; 8D–12D for volume/mega volume.
- Curl/Length: Match curls (e.g., C, D) to natural lash curl; use shorter lengths (8–10mm) for inner corners, longer (11–14mm) for outer edges.
- Check the strip for fan consistency (e.g., no closed or uneven fans).
- Choose fans based on the client’s natural lashes and desired look:
2. Picking Up Every Single Fan Out Of Strip Fans
- Grip Technique:
- Use volume tweezers to gently pinch the fan’s base (where it connects to the strip), not the tips, to avoid closing or crushing the fan.
- Hold lightly to maintain the fan’s spread and shape.
- Removal:
- Pull the fan straight off the strip fans slowly and steadily to prevent twisting or adhesive residue buildup. Avoid quick jerks, which can deform the fan or loosen its base.
- For silicone strips, lift upward gently; for foil-backed strips, peel at a slight angle if resistance is felt.
- Inspection:
- Before dipping in adhesive, check the fan under good lighting (e.g., LED ring light) to ensure it’s symmetrical and intact. If the fan is uneven or damaged, discard it and grab another.
3. Application Techniques of Strip Fans
These methods ensure strong attachment, natural appearance, and retention for 4-6 weeks with strip fans.
- Side Placement (Best for Beginners):
- Step 1: Use isolation tweezers to separate one natural lash, holding neighboring lashes aside to prevent stickies (lashes glued together).
- Step 2: Dip the fan’s base into a small bead of adhesive (about 1-2mm deep) on your jade stone or glue ring. Scrape excess adhesive lightly to avoid clumping.
- Step 3: Approach the isolated lash from the side, aligning the fan’s base parallel to the natural lash.
- Step 4: Place the fan 0.5-1mm above the lash line to avoid skin contact, which can cause irritation or premature fallout.
- Step 5: Hold the fan in place for 1-2 seconds until the adhesive begins to set, then release tweezers gently to avoid pulling.
- Why It Works: Side placement wraps the fan tightly around the natural lash, maximizing retention and creating a clean look.
- Underneath Placement (Best for Seamless Look):
- Step 1: Isolate a natural lash with tweezers.
- Step 2: Dip the fan’s base in adhesive, ensuring minimal product (just enough to coat the base).
- Step 3: Slide the fan upward from beneath the natural lash, letting the fan’s base hug the lash as it moves into place.
- Step 4: Position the fan 0.5-1mm above the lash line, ensuring the base fully contacts the natural lash.
- Step 5: Hold briefly (1-2 seconds) to secure, then release slowly.
- Why It Works: This mimics the natural lash growth direction, making fans blend seamlessly and reducing visible adhesive.
- Wiggle Technique (Best for Pointy-Base Fans):
- Step 1: Isolate the natural lash.
- Step 2: Dip the fan’s base in adhesive (pointy bases need less adhesive due to their compact design).
- Step 3: Place the fan on the natural lash (side or underneath approach), then gently wiggle the tweezers side-to-side to spread adhesive evenly around the base.
- Step 4: Set 0.5-1mm above the lash line and hold until secure.
- Why It Works: Wiggling ensures the adhesive wraps fully around the natural lash, boosting retention, especially for dense fans (8D+).
4. Placement Strategy
- Mapping:
- Plan the lash set before starting (e.g., cat-eye, doll-eye). Mark zones on eye pads if needed (inner, middle, outer).
- Use shorter fans (7-9mm) for inner corners, gradually increasing to 11–14mm for outer corners to mimic natural lash growth.
- Coverage:
- Apply fans to 70-80% of natural lashes for volume sets, 50–60% for hybrid. Avoid over-application to prevent strain on thin lashes.
- Skip damaged or baby lashes to promote healthy regrowth.
- Styling:
- For wispy looks, alternate fan sizes (e.g., 10mm and 12mm) or mix with single classic lashes.
- For mega volume, use high-density fans (10D to 12D) consistently across the lash line.
- Angle outer fans slightly outward for a lifted or cat-eye effect.
- Check for Stickies:
- After each fan, use a micro brush or clean tweezers to ensure no neighboring lashes are stuck together. Fix immediately to avoid discomfort.
5. Post-Application
- Cure Adhesive:
- Wait 1–2 minutes after finishing the set, then use a nano-mister or nebulizer (low mist setting, held 12–18 inches away) for 10–15 seconds per eye to fully cure the adhesive. This reduces fumes and locks in retention.
- Final Check:
- Gently brush through the lashes with a clean mascara wand to align fans and confirm even placement.
- Inspect under bright light for gaps, stickies, or uneven fans. Add or adjust fans if needed.
- Client Care Instructions:
- Advise avoiding water, steam, saunas, or oil-based products (e.g., makeup removers) for 24-48 hours to let adhesive fully bond.
- Recommend lash-safe cleanser and brushing daily with a spoolie to maintain the set.
- Schedule infills every 2-3 weeks for upkeep.
6. Pro Tips for Success
- Adhesive Management:
- Use fresh adhesive drops every 15 to 20 minutes in a low-humidity environment (45–55%) to ensure fast curing.
- If adhesive feels too thick, shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds before dispensing.
- Lighting and Magnification:
- Work under a bright LED ring light and consider magnifying glasses for precision, especially when isolating fine lashes.
- Fan Selection:
- For clients with sparse lashes, use lighter fans (3D to 5D, 0.05mm) to avoid weighing down natural lashes, as you mentioned preferring for thin lashes.
- Practice:
- If new to strip fans, practice on a mannequin head to perfect pickup and placement speed without client pressure.
- Time yourself to ensure full sets take 1.5-2 hours for efficiency.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Fans Closing: Caused by gripping too tightly or using too much adhesive. Pinch lighter and dip minimally.
- Poor Retention: Check for oily lashes, improper placement (too far from lash line), or old adhesive. Re-cleanse lashes or refresh adhesive.
- Stickies: Isolate more carefully and check after each fan. Use a micro brush to separate if caught early.
- Discomfort: Ensure fans are 0.5–1mm above the lash line, not touching skin. Adjust placement if clients report irritation.
