How to Choose the Right Lash Curl: C, D or L?
Share
Finding the perfect curl is key to creating a beautiful lash extension set that complements your client’s natural eye shape. With so many options available, choosing between B, C, D and even L curls can be overwhelming, especially for new lash artists. Understanding how different curls interact with natural lashes will help you create long-lasting looks your clients will love.
**Match the curl to the natural lash** Experienced educators emphasise that the first factor in choosing the right curl is your client’s natural lash shape. For clients with straight natural lashes, a softer B or N curl shows off length from the side profile. Clients with curlier natural lashes often prefer the dramatic lift of C or D curls, but it’s important to discuss whether that will be too much drama. Always prioritise the health of the natural lashes when selecting diameter and length, and never overload fragile hairs.
**Consider your client’s desired look** Some clients want a subtle enhancement while others crave maximum drama. C curls provide a well-balanced lift for most eye shapes and are a great starting point for classic sets. D curls offer a deeper curl that opens the eye and creates a glamorous effect. L curls have a straight base with a sharp upward angle, making them ideal for clients with hooded eyes or downward-growing lashes as they lift the lash line without compromising retention. During your consultation, ask about your client’s daily style and make sure the curl matches their lifestyle and personal taste.
**Use high-quality PBT lashes for consistent results** Whatever curl you choose, working with high-quality PBT lashes ensures the curl holds its shape. Our Cashmere Silk lashes are available in C, D and L curls and multiple lengths, allowing you to customise classic, hybrid or volume sets. Pair them with our precision tweezers and honeycomb glue cups to apply fans quickly and accurately, and finish with our nano-hydrogel eye patches to protect delicate under-eyes. A well-curated kit will make selecting and applying curls much easier.
