Premade vs. Promade vs. Laser Promade: Three Generations of Ready-Made Fans

Ready-made volume fans are one of the biggest time-savers in lash extensions, but which generation you work with makes a real difference. There are three distinct technology levels on the market: premade, promade, and the newest, cutting-edge laser promade lashes. Below, we walk you through how these fans have evolved over the years, and why the most advanced option is worth choosing.

Premade lashes: the first generation

Premade lashes are the first generation of ready-made fans. They’re still in use today, but technologically they’re no longer considered up to date. These fans are often machine-made from mass-production templates. The thicker, artificial-looking fibers are held together with glue, the fans get a flat stem, and the glued part sits on the lash strip. That means you can only grip the fan at the top, so it often falls apart as you pick it up, and building the set is less controlled.

The glued base isn’t just stiffer and thicker. It also comes apart more easily, because the bond isn’t durable enough. The resulting set looks less refined, and its retention can drop significantly.

Premade lashes can be a practical choice if you want a simple, quick solution. But if retention, a more natural fit and a more refined result matter more to you, it may be worth switching to promade technology.

Promade lashes: handmade and modern

Promade lashes are a far more advanced type, and they’re made by hand. The individual fibers are heat-bonded together, creating a glue-free, thin, pointy base. The result is a much lighter fan that attaches more naturally and securely to the natural lash. The middle of the fan sits on the strip, so you can easily pick it up from below or from above without distorting it.

Promade fans are ideal for lash artists who want to create volume sets with a handmade look but save time on hand-fanning. The result is finer, the fit is more natural, and your client is noticeably more comfortable. This technique fully meets today’s professional standards: faster, yet high quality.

Laser Promade lashes: the technology of today and tomorrow

Laser promade lashes are the upgraded, most advanced version of promade: the handmade fans are made even more effective with microscopic laser cuts. These fine cuts run along the lash body. You can’t always see them with the naked eye, but they significantly improve how well the lash bonds with the adhesive.

As a result, the fan attaches more securely, is less likely to twist or slip during application, and stays in place much longer. The base is thin and pointy, and the fan structure is compact and balanced, so it sits easily and beautifully on the natural lash. Laser promade lashes are the most natural-looking and longest-lasting promade type currently available, and the closest in look to hand-fanned sets.

This technology is especially helpful with clients who have an active lifestyle or are less careful with at-home care. The exceptional adhesion and flexibility give you reliable results with every type of client.
