What the term means.
An artist may form fans during the appointment or a supplier may hand-form them beforehand. The second approach is often called promade. Construction and timing are separate details, so handmade does not necessarily mean made beside the treatment bed.
Hand formation allows decisions about opening, strand count and base shape. These choices work with diameter and length. The label describes construction rather than guaranteeing attachment quality or making a larger grouping suitable for every natural hair.
The technical details.
- Formation
- Fibres grouped by hand
- Timing
- During the appointment or in advance
- Variables
- Opening, strand count and base

These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Is every promade fan handmade?
Some suppliers use that meaning, but terminology is not completely standardised. Read the product's actual construction details when comparing methods.
