What the term means.

A prepared fan removes the step of forming the grouping during attachment. It still needs appropriate selection and an isolated natural lash. The name alone does not establish curl, thickness, length or suitability.

Some suppliers use promade specifically for hand-formed fans prepared in advance; broader catalogue usage can overlap. Read construction details rather than assuming that one spelling proves a machine-made or handmade origin.

The technical details.

Timing
Formed before client attachment
Specifications
D count, diameter, length, curl and opening
Base
Width, shape and grouping method
Naming limit
Not universal quality grades

These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.

A common question.

Can prepared fans skip isolation?

No. Forming a fan in advance changes how it was made, not the individual natural-lash attachment required during application.
