Understanding Lash Extension Curl Types

Understanding Lash Extension Curl Types

Choosing the right lash curl is essential for delivering flattering, comfortable, and long-lasting eyelash extensions. From natural lifts to show-stopping drama, each curl type brings its own unique flair. In this post, we'll explore eight popular curl types—J, B, C, CC, D, DD, L, and M—and explain what makes them special.


Curl Types Explained

J Curl
The most natural option: the base lies nearly straight with just a subtle tip bend. It offers minimal lift and is perfect for a subtle, everyday look. 

B Curl
A gentle upgrade from J: slightly more lift at the tip while remaining soft and natural. Ideal for clients with upward-pointing natural lashes or for achieving a refined everyday look. 

C Curl
A global favorite—creates a noticeable lift and "wide-eyed" effect without being overly dramatic. Especially effective for straight or slightly downward natural lashes. 

CC Curl
A hybrid between C and D: curlier than C but not as intense as D. Offers a balance that’s both eye-opening and wearable. 

D Curl
A bold, dramatic curve—perfect for clients wanting maximum lift and volume. Especially suitable for straight or downward natural lashes to truly open up the eyes. 

DD Curl
Even more dramatic than D, for an ultra-curly, glamorous effect. Ideal for high-impact styling. 

L Curl
Features a flat, straight base with a sharp upward flick. Excellent for monolids or hooded eyes—it lifts lashes straight up and creates striking definition.

M Curl
A more complex curve, often used for a textured, layered look—combining lift with interesting shape for creative lash designs. 


Why Curl Variety Matters

Stocking a range of curl types empowers lash artists to customize looks for each client's eye shape, natural lash direction, and aesthetic goal. Limiting yourself to only C or D curl restricts artistry—diversity in curls opens more creative possibilities and enhances client satisfaction.
