B vs C Curl: Which One Should You Use?

B Curl

Classicly wispy is what comes to mind when we think of the coveted B curl eyelash extension. The base of this lash extension is fairly straight; however, has a slight lift at the end of the lash. Like the J curl, this extension resembles the look of a natural lash. Because of this, the B curl lash is the perfect extension for clients who want an effortlessly natural look! Overall, this extension will add substantial volume and length-but not curl!- without appearing overly dramatic.

Quick and Dirty: Natural curl. Mimics the look of a naturally uncurled eyelash.

C Curl

The C curl eyelash extension is the lash that keeps giving! This lash extension has a short and straight base with a natural curl at the end of the extension. Even better, this extension complements all eye shapes! From almond to downturned eyes, you can’t go wrong with mixing and matching these natural. It’s no wonder that this eyelash extension is one of the most used extensions on the market.

Quick and Dirty: Appearance similar to that of an eyelash curled by an eyelash curler.
