I remember the first time I tried to make a volume fan by hand. It took me twenty minutes, looked like a crumpled spider, and I ended up tossing it and grabbing a strip lash instead. Premade fans changed everything for me, and CoMango's W Shape 3D fans are the latest ones I've tested. At $9.98 for a 12-row tray with 0.07mm fibers and multiple curl options, they're priced like an impulse buy but perform like a salon staple.
The tray arrived well-organized with fans pre-separated by length — 8mm through 15mm — each one lifting cleanly off the backing without snagging or tearing. The W shape is immediately different from standard YY or C fans. Instead of a simple V taper, the fibers crisscross in a deliberate pattern that creates more surface texture and dimension against the natural lash line. If you've only used straight fans before, the W gives you that editorial, wispy volume without layering multiple fans on top of each other.
What Makes the W Shape Different
A standard volume fan spreads into a uniform bouquet. A W fan weaves individual lashes into a synchronized zigzag — think of it as two small fans fused at the base, with the tips reaching in slightly different directions. This crisscross pattern fills gaps in the natural lash line more efficiently than a straight fan, creating a fluffy, multi-dimensional look with fewer pieces. The flat base of the W-fan also provides a noticeably larger bonding surface for adhesive. More contact area means stronger retention — I'm on day six of my current set and haven't lost a single fan.
The key to clean volume fans is in the tweezer grip — close your tips fully before pulling, then pinch the base as you release. This technique works across all premade fans, including CoMango's W shape:
At 0.07mm, the individual fibers are fine enough to look natural but sturdy enough that the fan holds its shape when you pick it up. Cheaper premade fans at this thickness tend to splay out or lose their structure the moment tweezers touch them. CoMango's stay intact. The curl options give you real range — C for an everyday lift, D for that visible-but-not-dramatic sweet spot, L and LU for clients who want their lashes to announce themselves. I tested the D curl in 8-15mm mix, and the graduated lengths made mapping intuitive: shortest at the inner corner, building to 14-15mm at the outer edge.
Application — Pick Up and Place
The whole point of premade fans is that you skip the fan-making step entirely, and these deliver on that promise. Grip the base with your isolation tweezers, dip in adhesive, and place under the natural lash. The flat base grabs the bond quickly and stays put while you position. Because the W shape already has built-in texture, you can use fewer fans per eye than you would with standard volume fans — I used five per eye for a full set that would normally take seven or eight YY fans. That's a 30% time saving on a full set, which adds up fast if you're working on clients.
One nuance worth mentioning: the W shape takes a minute to get used to if you're coming from traditional fans. The wider base means you need to be precise about placement — get it right and the fan hugs the lash line perfectly. Get it slightly off and the W pattern can look a little chaotic. After the first three or four fans, my hands figured it out. By the second eye, I wasn't thinking about it at all.

Check Price — $9.98Wear and Retention
I wore the D curl set for a full week — through workouts, humidity, and side-sleeping — and every fan stayed locked in. The larger bonding surface at the base makes a genuine difference in retention. Even the inner-corner fans, which are always the first to go on me, held firm the entire time. Removal was clean with no residue left on my natural lashes. I was able to reuse two of the fans for a second application, though by the third use the W pattern had softened noticeably and lost some of its definition.
For personal wear, I'd say one tray gives you roughly four to five full sets depending on how many fans you use per eye. For lash artists, figure two to three clients per tray. At $9.98, the per-set cost is comfortably under $3 — less than a coffee for a week of salon-quality volume.

Is It Worth It?
For $9.98, the CoMango W Shape premade fans punch well above their price point. The W pattern delivers genuine dimensional texture that you'd normally need to layer multiple fans to achieve, and the flat base gives stronger retention than standard V-shaped fans. If you're a lash artist, these will save you time on every volume set. If you're doing your own lashes at home, they eliminate the most frustrating part of the process entirely.
The only real learning curve is getting comfortable with the wider base placement, and that resolves within the first few fans. For beginners who've been intimidated by volume lashing, these are a forgiving entry point. For experienced artists, they're a time-saving addition to your tray that your clients won't even know came pre-made.
