Curls of Eyelash Extensions

Lashing is not easy. Between managing clientele, committing the different types of eyelash extensions to memory, to adapting in an ever-changing industry, you deserve a pat on the back (and maybe a glass of champagne, or two). Especially when first starting out as a lash technician, even something as simple as choosing the best type of lash is daunting. After all, not all eyelash extensions are created equal! In fact, each of the unique curls of eyelash extensions comes with its own specific guidelines.

With that being said, matching your client's lashes with the proper extension is an integral part of the process. In fact, if the wrong curl is chosen, you risk your client's lashes not looking good. And trust us – no one wants to start off their lash career with an unfortunate gallery of bad reviews. So, regardless of your client's eye shape or whether they prefer "daring and bold" or "as natural as possible", there are more than enough curls of eyelash extensions to get the job done right.

1. J Curl

Let's start with the rare, but definitely not forgotten, J Curl. J Curl extensions are perfect for any client wanting natural-looking, lengthy lashes rather than an open eye look. These lovely lashes will appear longer than others of the same length due to the natural curl of the lash. While best used on clients with straight lashes, J Curl lashes are not encouraged for clients with downward facing lashes.

B Curl lashes are similar to J Curl, but with a little more "va-va-voom". For clients requesting a natural, "I woke up like this" look, B Curl lashes will do just that. However, it is important to note that, similar to the J Curl, B Curl lashes add more length than curl.

Now, onto crowd favorite – the C Curl! C Curl lashes bring the trifecta - volume, length, and curl. Generally speaking, these lashes can be used on most any eye, excluding a hooded eye or very straight lashes. Rather, classic C Curl lashes are best for clients with a slight curl in their natural lash and clients looking for a perfect, curled look.

Where "girl next door" meets "girls night out", you will find the CC curl. This lovely lash mixes all the best qualities of the C curl and D curl and delivers a popular choice for any client requesting "subtle, yet dramatic". CC curl lashes are used often for volume applications and giving lashes a flawless pick-me-up.

For a look that catches stares and delivers them back, we recommend D curl all the way. These curly lashes will create a doll-like appearance that opens up the eye. Optimally, D curl lashes should be used on a client with downturned eyes or a client looking for a dramatic look. The Classic D Curl is a fan favorite for a reason!

What do you get when you mix the oh-so-popular C Curl with a flat base? Of course, we're talking about L Curl lashes. L Curl lashes are our #1 choice for any client with inset or hooded eyes. With a curious shape that resembles an "L", it's hard not to love the graceful lift of this unique lash.

Maximum lift, maximum drama. Similar to the L Curl, the L+ Curl is perfect for clients with downward-pointing lashes or hooded eyes. L+ lashes give the appearance of curled lashes but without all of the effort.
