Easy Fan vs Premade Fans: Which One Should You Use? (Speed, Control, Retention)
Short answer: Easy Fan and Premade Fans are both “volume shortcuts,” but they’re built for two different workflows. If you’re new here, start with our 1-page overview first: Lash Extension Types Guide (Pillar) →
What is Easy Fan (Blossom / Self-Fanning on Strip)?
Easy Fan is a volume lash category designed to help you form fans on the strip. The bases are typically lightly bonded so fibers stay together enough for stable pickup, then you separate/pinch on the tape to create your fan before dipping into adhesive.
- Workflow: Separate / shape on strip → pick up → dip ~1mm → place
- Best for: artists who like “build-on-tape” control but want faster fanning
- Learning curve: lower than handmade pinching, but you still shape the fan
- Thickness: normally available in 0.03mm, 0.05mm, 0.07mm. other thickness need to be custom build per request.

What are Premade Fans?
Premade Fans are volume fans that are already made for you (3D–40D). There’s no fanning step—you simply pick up the fan, dip, and place. This is the fastest option when your goal is speed and consistency.
- Workflow: Pick fan → dip ~1mm → place
- Best for: speed-focused sets, high-volume days, repeatable results
- Learning curve: lowest — great for beginners or fast service workflows
- Thickness: normally available in 0.03mm, 0.05mm, 0.07mm. other thickness need to be custom build per request.

Easy Fan vs Premade Fans: Key Differences
1) Speed
Premade wins for speed because the fan is already built. Easy Fan is faster than handmade/ hand pinching fanning, but you still shape the fan on the strip.
2) Control & Customization
Easy Fan wins if you want more control over how wide/narrow the fan opens. Premade is consistent, but what you pick is what you place.
3) Consistency
Premade is the most consistent because each fan is manufactured to a fixed shape. Easy Fan consistency depends more on your on-strip technique.
4) Base Style & Placement Feel
Premade fans typically have a prepared base designed for fast placement. Easy Fan bases are made to help you form fans on the strip, so your base shape depends on your technique.
5) Who Each One Is Best For
- Choose Easy Fan if: you like shaping fans on the strip and want more control than premade.
- Choose Premade Fans if: you want the fastest workflow with the lowest learning curve.
Which One Should You Buy First? (Simple Decision)
If you’re a beginner: start with Premade Fans for speed and confidence.
If you already do volume and want more control: try Easy Fan / Blossom.
