What are Heat Bonded Lash Extension Fans?
Heat bonded lash extension fans, including both premade and promade fans, are a popular choice among lash artists for their ease of use and consistent results. These fans are created by using heat to bond the individual lash extensions at the base, forming a fan shape without the use of additional adhesive. This process results in lightweight, beautifully fanned lashes that are ready to be applied directly to the natural lashes.
Types of Heat Bonded Lash Extension Fans:
- Premade Fans: These are pre-fanned lash extension fibres that come ready for application, saving time and effort for the lash artist.
- Promade Fans: These fans can be handmade by the lash artist or machine made, often using a heat bonding technique, ensuring a narrow fan base. Promade fans can allow for specific customisation based on the client’s needs.
Why are They Delicate?
Heat bonded lash extension fans are delicate due to several reasons:
- Bonding Method: The heat bonding process creates a fine and precise bond at the base of the lashes. This bond is strong enough to hold the fan together but can be fragile if mishandled.
- Thin Fibers: The individual lashes in these fans are typically very thin and lightweight, making them more prone to breakage if not handled properly.
- Shape and Structure: The fan shape is designed to provide a voluminous look, but this structure can be compromised if the fans are pulled or twisted incorrectly during removal or application.
Steps to Remove Lash Extension Fans from Their Lash Tray Stickers
Proper removal of lash extension fans from their lash tray stickers is crucial to maintaining their integrity and preventing breakage. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth and damage-free removal process:
- Use the Right Tools: Have a pair of high quality, precision tweezers ready. Opt for tweezers specifically designed for volume lash extensions.
- Gently Grip the Base: Using your tweezers, gently grip the base of the lash fan where it is bonded. Avoid gripping the middle or tips of the lashes, as this can cause the fan to lose its shape.
- Peel Slowly: Carefully peel the fan off the tray sticker. Do this slowly and steadily to prevent any sudden movements that could break the fan.
- Avoid Excessive Pressure: Apply minimal pressure with the tweezers to avoid crushing the delicate base. A light touch is key to preserving the fan’s structure.
- Position, Lift & Transfer: Once the fan is free from the tray, gently lift it and transfer it directly to the adhesive dot and immediately position onto the natural lash.
Conclusion
Heat bonded lash extension fans, both premade and promade, offer a convenient and efficient way to achieve voluminous, beautiful lashes. Understanding their delicacy and the proper techniques for removing them from lash trays can help maintain their integrity and ensure a flawless application. By handling these fans with care and precision, lash artists can deliver stunning results that clients will love.
