How to Choose the Right Premade Fans: A Complete Guide for Beginners

Starting your lash journey and feeling lost between 3D, 5D, YY, W, and all those mysterious curls? Don’t panic — every lash artist has been there! Choosing the right premade fans is easier than it looks once you understand what each type does. Let’s go through everything step by step so you can pick your perfect match. 💖

💕 What Are Promade Fans (and Why You’ll Love Them)

Premade fans are ready-made volume lashes that come perfectly fanned out and bonded at the base. They’re a game-changer for beginners — saving time, ensuring consistency, and giving a full, voluminous look without advanced fanning skills.

TDANCE premade fans are heat-bonded, not glued, meaning there’s no clumpy residue — just clean, soft bases that attach effortlessly.

💫 Step 1: Understand the “D” Numbers

The “D” tells you how many individual lashes are in one fan:

• 3D–4D: Light and natural — great for everyday sets.

• 5D–6D: Soft volume — fuller but still airy.

• 8D–10D: Mega volume — bold, dramatic, and fluffy.

💡 TDANCE Tip: Try our Shimmy-Free 5D Fans for balanced volume and perfect stability.

🌈 Step 2: Pick the Right Base

The fan’s base affects both your application and the final look.

• Long-stem fans give a clean, structured lash line — perfect for hybrid sets.

• Short-stem or loose-base fans spread volume beautifully for a soft, cloud-like finish.

Think about your desired vibe: sleek and defined, or soft and fluffy? That’s how you choose your base.

💎 Step 3: Choose the Curl That Fits Your Style

The curl sets the mood of the lash set.

• C Curl gives a soft, natural enhancement.

• D Curl adds instant drama and openness.

• M Curl creates a trendy lifted look — perfect for hooded or downturned eyes.

💡 TDANCE Tip: Our M Curl Shimmy-Free Lashes are a must-try — they stay lifted and hold curl for weeks without drooping.

🪶 Step 4: Find the Right Thickness and Length

For beginners, the sweet spot is between 0.05mm and 0.07mm — lightweight enough for comfort, thick enough for volume.
If you’re creating mega volume, go ultra-fine with 0.03mm.

When it comes to length, 8mm to 15mm covers most lash maps. Mixing 2–3 lengths adds texture and dimension for a natural, layered look.

💡 TDANCE offers Mixed-Length Trays that make experimenting easy without needing multiple boxes.

⚡ Step 5: Match the Fans to Your Desired Style

For a soft, natural look, use smaller fans like 3D or 4D in C curl.
If your client loves a glam vibe, go with 5D or 6D D curl.
For maximum drama, 8D–10D in 0.03mm thickness delivers that striking full effect.

Want something textured or wispy? YY and W lashes are your best friends — they add instant hybrid volume with zero extra effort.

💡 TDANCE Tip: YY lashes create a soft “wet look” finish, while W fans offer perfect density for hybrid sets.

🧴 Step 6: Don’t Forget About Glue Compatibility

Premade fans pair best with medium-viscosity adhesives that give you a second or two to adjust before curing.

💡 Use TDANCE Glue — fast yet forgiving, perfect for artists still building speed. Replace your glue drop every 15–20 minutes for consistent performance.
