The C-curl fits almost all eye types and is thus the most popular curl. If you have thin natural lashes but would love them to appear more open and fuller, go for the C-curl. D-curl is perfect when you want to achieve a dramatic look.
The C curl is the most commonly used curl for its versatility among different lash types. It is the safest option to go with if you are unsure which curl to use. It will provide a natural looking curl.
Classic Lashes Thickness
For classic lashes, the most common thickness of extensions is 0.15mm, to create a natural look. For a more glamorous and bold look, choose 0.20mm lash extensions. Everything thicker than 0.15mm is recommended only to people who have really strong and healthy natural lashes.
Wrapping up, there's one main difference between a c curl and a D curl. A C curl is more natural and a great starter curl for a client's set. D Curl is more dramatic and will help create that lift—it is more dramatic than if you curled the natural lashes with an eyelash curler.
You can't curl eyelash extensions but you can curl the natural lash to which the extension is attached using a heated curler. Synthetic eyelash extensions already come with a preset curl that can't be changed.
HOODED / MONOLID EYES
Strong curls, such as a D and DD curls, will often not leave enough space between the extension and skin of the eyelid and can potentially cause discomfort for your clients. C curls or angled L curls will be the best option for hooded eyes.
Eyelash extensions that are not securely attached to the natural lash will not last. Lifting of the extensions off the lash will occur. Also, if the wrong extension is selected (too long or too thick), proper application is more difficult and in some instances impossible.
C curl lashes are intended for clients with a slight curl in their natural lash and will create an open-eye effect. D curl lashes are very similar, just curlier! They are intended for a client with a slight-dramatic natural curl who wants a dramatic look!
D curl creates the most lift and gives you an “open eye” effect. 2. D curl will appear shorter than C curl or B curl because of the curling back effect. So if you're mixing D curl lashes in an existing C curl set always go 1 mm longer.
In general, the most common lashes for eyelash extensions are C curl lashes, with D curl lashes coming in right behind in terms of popularity. Inevitably, the question arises: Can you mix C and D curl lashes? Yes, absolutely.
Usually thicker lashes are used for classic lash extensions – 0.10 and 0.15 thicknesses are popular. When using the Russian technique, it is advised to use finer lashes as you are using more than one lash in a fan. Popular Russian thicknesses are 0.05 and 0.07.
Classic lashes are going to look more like mascara.
Each individual eyelash is going to be thicker in diameter than volume lashes. Classic lashes are most widely used in a diameter of 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, and 0.20 mm. 0.12 mm is also an option, but is minimally used.
Mixing curls, thickness and lengths throughout a set will create texture which gives the illusion of fuller, darker looking sets. By dropping down in length in-between each normal extension you're placing on, especially through the centre of the eye will make the set look darker and fuller.
The “B” curl is used for a straighter lash. I typically will use this on the inner corners where a client has a less natural curl and I don't want to place a heavy curl at that point in the eye. You can also use a “B” curl underneath the smaller lashes that seem to hide in order to add more stability to the look.
If the client has downward lashes, DD curls can be good for opening up their eyes and highlighting them. DD curls are often geared towards the 90-degree angle, which can help discern them from D curls which mostly feature a 70-degree angle.
In classic eyelash extensions, individual extensions are applied to every natural lash you have. Sometimes, this set is called “1:1” because its ratio is one extension to one lash.
C curl is the common curl that matches most people natural lash curl. D curl is the most dramatic and lifted, it will be the most visible from the front, it is also the most popular.
Trying to curl the natural lash to meet the adhesive on C or D curl will damage the natural lash. The lower third of even the most curly extensions are usually a little straight, and can hold better. Another option for straight lashes is to use a L-curl lash. L-curl lashes are shaped just like the letter “L”.
U curl lashes (also known as DD Curl)
U curl is the curliest lash extension. They are suitable for clients with downward-angled lashes who want the most dramatic doll-like eyelashes. These lashes will give a noticeable curled effect.
Type 2C waves are usually identified as small to medium size waves that form into a letter S shape as they grow. This shape borders between wavy and curly hair. Though for some this may already look like a typical curly hair, the 2C type does not form springs, a distinguishing feature between waves and curls.
1C hair is straight but thick and coarse. It has a natural tousled look and tends to frizz. Type 2 is wavy hair.
2B hair consists of 'S' shaped waves in the lengths, but sits relatively straight at the roots. 2C hair has even more defined 'S' shaped curls that start from the root and continue down the lengths of the hair.
50 lashes per eye can be considered a complete set for some and only be a partial set for others. A skilled eyelash technician should be able to look at your natural lashes and then determine what a full set is FOR YOU.
With this in mind, it is typically recommended to get lash fills done every two-to-three weeks. Since everyone's eyelashes and eyelash goals are different and therefore require different levels and kinds of regular maintenance, having a strong and open sense of communication with your lash technician is key.
This method is also known as 1 to 1 or 1:1. Classic lashes are perfect for clients who already have a lot of lashes, but want to add more length. Classic lashes look more natural. Multiple lashes are applied to one single natural eyelash individually isolating one natural eyelash at a time using very thin lashes .
