Fanning Lash Extension – The Ultimate Guide

Fanning Lash Extension – The Ultimate GuideWhat are Easy Fanning Lashes?

Easy Fanning lashes are designed differently on the lash strip in the pack allowing easier multiple lash pickup.

There are three elements which are important

  1. Symmetry
  2. Space
  3. Body of fan
  4. Glue zone

Let’s get further details on what does it really mean:

  1. Symmetry: The first element to think is symmetry. In this process the difference in each lash is equal. It is important to acknowledge that dependent on the size.
  2. The space : the space between the lashes in a fan indicates if the fan is narrow, normal or wide. Most importantly, if the opening of the fan is not symmetrical this can create a closed fan look. More like a wonky appearance. For instance If you were creating a 5d lash look ,3 lashes on the fan were closed. It will result in a gappy finish, rather than that gorgeous fluff we all aspire to.
  3. Body of the fan. This should make up 2 thirds of your fan whereas the base of the fan should form up around 1 third.  Remember, the base of your fan should always be tapered
  4. Glue zone: It is definitely an important element to give a fuller beautiful look. This is situated right at the base of the fan. It represents the 2mm section of base that should be dipped into your glue!  Anything less than 2mm can cause retention problems.

There are different methods to get it done :

All shiny things are not gold. Now this method seemed to simple but it is very technical. One has to get right shape . It requires specific attention on not ending up with twisted bases. It is called the pinching method for a reason.
