Eyelash Extension Curls: Features and Selection

1

From the material in this article, you will learn about the types of eyelash extension curls and their features. Additionally, we will guide you on what to consider when choosing your option.

Features

Eyelash extension curls provide an attractive look by changing the appearance through the shape of the lashes. Materials for extensions vary in length, density, and color. Artificial eyelashes can correct visual eye imperfections (e.g., round, bulging, Asian eye shapes, droopy eyelids, downward corners). They can also alter the eye shape, creating the illusion of mascara application.

The curl of the eyelashes can be different – barely noticeable, moderate, strong, and steep. It is created during the extension and fixation of the lashes. It is impossible to correct the curl after the extension, and if chosen incorrectly, you will have to remove the lashes completely and redo all the work.

Curl Shapes

The shapes of each type of lash curl resemble uppercase letters of the English alphabet. Let's consider some of the most popular varieties to understand their differences, degree of naturalness, and durability.

B

The B-type curl is close to natural, with a slight rounding at the end of the hair. It looks natural, adjusts to the shape of your lashes, and highlights the eye contour. Lash makers use it when no eye shape correction is needed. This curl is suitable for adding expressiveness and attractiveness without a heavy effect. It features a high level of adhesion to natural lashes and lasts at least 3 weeks.

C

The C-type curl is the most popular. It has a more rounded end compared to the B variant. The curl line visually opens up the look, adding flirtatiousness, lightness, and brightness. However, the curled ends are noticeable. This curl is suitable for adding volume to natural hairs and masking wrinkles on the eyelids. It is versatile and used in any extension technique. Adhesion to natural lashes is up to 50% of the length, and the effect lasts about 2 weeks.

D

The D-type curl is significant and popular among those who are used to using decorative cosmetics daily. It is ideal for people with droopy eyelids, deep-set eyes, and downward-growing lashes. This curl is strong, opening up the look, diverting attention from minor imperfections, but has a shorter lifespan and adhesion to the natural hair up to 35%. It is used in volume extension techniques 2D and 3D, adding brightness to the look.

M

The M-type curl is characterized by greater length and volume. It is suitable for clients with downward-growing lashes. This type of curl helps create a wide-eyed look, adheres to natural hair up to 45%. It adds glamour and playfulness, suitable for almond-shaped eyes and droopy eyelids.

L

The L-type curl mimics the shape of natural hair at the base and has a sharp upward curl at the end. It is thickened at the base and curled at a right angle. This curl is suitable for full, partial, volume, and natural types of extensions, lasting up to 6 weeks.

L+

The L+ curl features a smoother and more even curl at the end compared to L. It masks heavy drooping eyelids and makes the eyes look more open. Suitable for correcting eye shape and has long-lasting wear.

Other Shapes

In addition to the basic options, there are non-standard curls (Z, V, S, N, Y, Q). For example, Q, also known as L++, corrects the eye shape and masks puffy eyelids but lasts only a few days, making it suitable for special occasions such as carnivals and photo shoots.
