How To Choose The Right Lash Curls

Everything You Need To Know About Eyelash Extension Curls

We all know that mastering the art of eyelash extensions involves more than just applying lashes – it's about understanding the nuances of curls and helping our clients achieve their desired looks. So, we're going to break down the differences between some popular eyelash extension curls and help you figure out which ones are best suited for your clients. From classic to dramatic, there's a curl for every lash lover out there! 

C Curl - The Classic Choice

The C Curl is the OG of eyelash extension curls and is the most popular and widely used eyelash extension curl. They mimic the curve of the natural lashes, providing a subtle lift that opens up the eyes, perfect for clients who prefer a subtle and everyday look. It's like adding a touch of mascara without the mascara! C Curls are incredibly versatile and suit most eye shapes and lash thicknesses, making them a staple in every Lash Tech's lash extension kit. So, if your client wants a classic, timeless look, this is the way to go.

Best Suited For: Clients looking for a natural enhancement or those with naturally curly lashes.

CC Curl - A Little Extra Drama

Stepping it up a notch, the CC Curl offers a more noticeable lift and pronounced curl compared to the C Curl. If your clients desire a bit more drama without going overboard, then the CC Curl is a fantastic choice. CC Curls are great for clients with straighter natural lashes who desire a noticeable but still relatively natural-looking enhancement with just a touch more drama.

Best Suited For: Clients who want a noticeable but still somewhat natural-looking enhancement.

D Curl - Drama, Drama, Drama!

If your client is all about that drama, the D Curl is your secret weapon. These lashes are ideal for creating a dramatic, wide-eyed effect and are often chosen for special occasions or by clients who want their lashes to steal the show. Be mindful, though, as D Curls might not be suitable for everyone due to their extreme curvature.

Best Suited For: Clients who crave maximum drama and want to make a bold statement.

L Curl - The Subtle Lift

L Curls are a unique option that combines the benefits of both C and J Curls. They provide a subtle lift at the base, similar to a C Curl, while also featuring a gentle sweep towards the end, resembling a J Curl. This makes L Curls a fantastic choice for clients who want a lifted look without undergoing lash lifting treatments. They add a soft and natural touch to the eyes.

M Curl - The Curved Beauty

M Curls provide a graceful, semi-dramatic curl that's versatile and can work well with a variety of eye shapes, making them a Lash Tech favourite! Known for their soft appearance, they are a popular choice for clients who want a touch of glamour without going to the extremes of the D Curl. These lashes will bring out the beauty in every eye.

Extreme L Curl - Defying Gravity

When your client wants lashes that defy gravity and reach for the stars, the Extreme L Curl is the answer. These lashes provide an astonishing upward sweep, creating an incredibly lifted look that opens up the eyes. They're a game-changer for clients with hooded eyelids or downturned eyes. It's like a mini eye lift without the surgery!
