Technical guide
How to choose C, CC, D and M curls for eyelash extensions.
Curl directly influences the visual effect of eyelash extensions. Choosing between C, CC, D or M allows the lash artist to adapt the result to eye shape, client style and technique.
Why is curl so important?
Curl defines eye openness, result intensity and harmony with natural lashes. A poorly chosen curl can look artificial, close the eye visually or compromise the direction of the work.
C curl
C curl is one of the most versatile curls. It is suitable for natural, elegant and balanced results. It works well in classic sets and in looks where definition is desired without exaggeration.
CC curl
CC curl offers more presence than C while keeping elegance. It is a good choice for clients who want a more open and visible look without moving into an overly dramatic effect.
D curl
D curl creates a more defined, lifted and expressive effect. It should be chosen carefully, considering the direction of the natural lashes and the client’s style.
M curl
M curl is very interesting for creating a visual lifting effect. It can help open the eyes, especially when used with an appropriate lash map and well-distributed lengths.
How to choose the right curl?
The choice should consider eye shape, natural lash direction, desired effect and the technique used. For natural results, C and CC are excellent options. For more intense effects or a visual lift, D and M may be more suitable.
