What are the differences between the curls in lash extensions?
In eyelash extensions, there are several types of curls or arches that allow for different effects and looks.
Here you will find an overview of the eyelash curls we offer, their properties and areas of application so that you can make the best choice for your customers.
B Curl: For a natural eyelash look
- Characteristics: The B Curl is slightly curved and very subtle compared to other curls. It resembles the natural lash line and creates a soft, natural look.
- Areas of application: Ideal for customers who want a natural effect or whose own eyelashes are naturally barely curved. Perfect for daytime looks or subtle modeling.
- Modeling: Particularly suitable for classic eyelash extensions where a natural look is desired.
C Curl: For a subtle eyelash look
- Features: The C Curl is more curved than the B Curl and offers a moderate emphasis. It adapts well to the natural lash shape, creating an open and feminine look.
- Areas of application: This curl is ideal for customers who want a more intense emphasis on their eyes without it being too dramatic. It is universally applicable and one of the most popular curls.
- Modeling: Perfect for everyday looks and customers who prefer a gently accentuated eye look.
CC Curl: For an expressive eyelash look
- Characteristics: The CC curl is between the C and D curl and offers a stronger curve than the C curl. It creates a more intense, but still natural look.
- Areas of application: Ideal for customers who want a more expressive look without being too dramatic. The CC Curl opens the eyes and is perfect for glamorous everyday looks.
- Modeling: Suitable for hybrid modeling where a combination of volume and naturalness is desired.
D Curl: Eyelashes for a dramatic look
- Features: The D Curl has a very strong bend and creates a striking, dramatic effect. This curl gives the eyes an intense, cat-like look.
- Areas of application: Ideal for customers who prefer a particularly striking look, for example for special occasions or photo shoots. Also ideal for customers with strongly curved natural eyelashes.
- Modeling: Perfect for volume modeling where maximum expressiveness is desired.
DD Curl: Lash extensions with extreme effect
- Properties: The DD curl is even more curved than the D curl and creates a particularly intense, dramatic effect. It gives the eyelashes an incomparable curl and opens the eyes to the maximum.
- Areas of application: Particularly suitable for extravagant looks and special occasions where a maximum wow effect is to be achieved. Ideal for customers who prefer an extreme look.
- Modeling: Perfect for customers with very strong natural curling eyelashes or eyelashes that grow downwards. For creative and extravagant eyelash modeling that makes the eye an absolute eye-catcher.
M Curl: Eyelashes for a lifting effect
- Properties: The M Curl has a unique shape that is reminiscent of an upward curve and creates a particularly lifting effect. This curl is ideal for optically lifting drooping corners of the eyes.
- Areas of application: Perfect for customers with deep-set or slightly drooping eyes to achieve an awake and rejuvenating effect. It creates an elegant and modern eye shape. Ideal for customers with oily skin or for customers for whom eyelash extensions often do not last long, as the adhesive surface on M-curves is larger than on normal eyelashes.
- Modeling: Suitable for lifting looks and special modeling where the focus is on an open, youthful look.
L Curl: For a strong straightening effect
- Features: The L Curl has a rather flat base with an abrupt, strong curve. It is ideal for clients with very straight or downward-pointing natural lashes.
- Areas of use: Ideal for customers who have difficulty with very downward-pointing lashes but still want a dramatic and striking look. The L Curl gives the eyes an open, radiant effect.
- Modelling: Perfect for dramatic and uplifting modelling, especially suitable for “cat-eye” effects.
