Hybrid Fans

If you want to create beautiful hybrid lash sets without constantly switching between classic lashes and volume fans, Hybrid Fans offer a simpler solution.

Designed as the perfect middle ground between Pro Made Fans and handmade volume fans, 4D Hybrid Fans give you the speed of pro made fans with the flexibility of an open, wrapable base. The result? Better retention, softer-looking lash sets, and a more streamlined treatment.

What Are Hybrid Fans?

Hybrid Fans are 4D Pro Made lash fans created specifically for building hybrid lash extensions.

Unlike traditional Pro Made Fans, the base is completely open rather than bonded tightly together. This allows the fan to wrap around the natural lash during application, helping create a stronger attachment and better retention.

They're made from four ultra-lightweight 0.07 lashes, giving a finished weight that's approximately equal to a single 0.15 classic lash.

Because of this, they offer the softness and texture of a hybrid set without needing to alternate between individual classic lashes and volume fans.

Hybrid Fans at a Glance

  • 4D Hybrid Fans
  • Made from lightweight 0.07 lashes
  • Approx. 1,600 fans per tray
  • Available in single and mixed lengths (7-14mm)
  • Premium PBT fibres
  • Open, wrapable base
  • Equivalent weight to one 0.15 classic lash

What Are Hybrid Fans Used For?

Hybrid Fans are designed to mimic a hybrid lash extension set.

Traditionally, hybrid lash sets involve alternating between classic lashes and volume fans throughout the treatment. While this creates a beautiful textured finish, it also means reaching for multiple lash trays during every appointment.

Hybrid Fans simplify this process.

Because each fan is smaller than a standard volume fan but fuller than a classic lash, they naturally recreate the appearance of a hybrid set using just one product.

They're ideal if you want to:

  • Create soft, wispy hybrid lash sets
  • Speed up treatment times
  • Reduce tray changes during appointments
  • Improve consistency throughout your lash sets
  • Keep your lash trolley organised

Who Can Use Hybrid Fans?

One of the biggest advantages of Hybrid Fans is their accessibility.

If you're already comfortable applying YY Lashes, Clover Lashes, or other specialty lashes, you'll quickly adapt to Hybrid Fans.

They can be used by all lash techs. If you have been trained in Classic Lashes, you can use these.

The lightweight construction also makes them suitable for most healthy natural lashes.

What Makes Hybrid Fans Different?

There are plenty of Pro Made Fans available, so what makes Hybrid Fans different?

Open, wrapable base

Unlike traditional Pro Made Fans with a bonded base, Hybrid Fans feature a loose, open base that wraps around the natural lash.

This creates a larger contact area between the extension and natural lash, helping improve retention.

Specifically designed for hybrid sets

Most Pro Made Fans are designed to create volume lashes.

Hybrid Fans are designed to recreate the appearance of classic and volume lashes combined, giving clients that popular textured hybrid finish.

Hybrid Fans vs Handmade Fans

Many lash artists love handmade fans for their customisation, but they can be time-consuming.

Hybrid Fans offer many of the same benefits while significantly reducing treatment time.

Handmade Fans

  • Created during the appointment
  • Fully customisable
  • Slower application
  • Requires advanced fan-making skills

Hybrid Fans

  • Ready to use
  • Consistent every time
  • Faster application
  • Easier for classic-trained artists

What Lengths and Weights Are Available?

4D Hybrid Fans are available in:

Lengths

  • Single length trays
  • Mixed trays
  • 7mm-14mm

Mixed trays include extra 10mm and 11mm lengths, helping you use the lengths you reach for most without running out too quickly.

Diameter

  • 0.07mm

Dimension

  • 4D

Weight

Each fan weighs approximately the same as a 0.15 classic lash, making them lightweight enough for most healthy natural lashes.

How Do You Apply Hybrid Fans?

Application is very similar to using specialty lashes.

  1. Isolate the natural lash.
  2. Pick up the fan from above or below the crossover point.
  3. Dip the base into your professional lash adhesive.
  4. Wrap the open base around the natural lash.
  5. Continue until the set is complete.

Because the base is intentionally loose, avoid gripping directly across the crossover point, as this may separate the fan.

Instead of reaching between multiple trays throughout every appointment, you can create soft hybrid lash extensions using one product.

Benefits include:

  • Faster appointments
  • Better retention through improved wrapping
  • Softer, more natural-looking hybrid lash extensions
  • Less clutter on your lash trolley
  • Consistent fans every time
  • No need to stock separate classic lashes and volume fans for hybrid sets
