What the term means.
The number before D counts the fibres in one fan. A 2D fan has two, 3D has three and 5D has five. This D means dimension, not D curl, and does not tell you the length or thickness of the strands.
A narrow grouping produces more pointed tips, while a wider opening distributes the tips across a larger area. Equal strand counts can therefore create different coverage. Handmade, premade and promade describe formation, not a fan's curl or suitability.
The technical details.
- D count
- Number of extension fibres within a fan
- Diameter
- Thickness of each fibre
- Opening
- Spread between the outer tips
- Base
- The grouped attachment section
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 a bigger D number always better?
No. The useful construction depends on the natural lash and intended effect. Extra strands do not replace appropriate attachment or assessment of the overall load.
