What are the type of artificial lashes that are small clusters of three or four lashes on one point of attachment?

• A. Fans
• B. Strips
• C. Clusters
• D. Tabs

Answer: (D)

Understanding how lash arrangements are described by how many lashes share a single attachment helps you recognize different product types. When you see small groups of three or four lashes bound together at one point and sold as a single unit that’s applied to one natural lash, that unit is typically described as a tab. Each tab carries a tiny cluster of lashes, so the technician can place multiple-lash fullness onto one lash in one go, which speeds up application and creates a fuller look quickly.

This differs from strip lashes, which are a full band that sits along the eyelid, and from hand-fanned or loose “fans,” which are created during application rather than arriving pre-attached to a single tab. It also contrasts with clusters in some contexts, which can refer to small bundles but aren’t always organized on a single tab. In standard terminology for pre-made extensions, those bundled units on a tab are the ones described as tabs.
