There are three key factors that contribute to the final look of lash extensions: length, curl, and thickness. These elements, combined in a specific way, give every set of lash extensions its distinct appearance.
LENGTH:
Lash extensions come in a range of lengths, typically ranging from 7mm to 14mm or longer. The length of your natural lashes will influence the appropriate mix of extensions for you.
Short lashes fall within the 6mm to 8mm range.
Medium length lashes are generally 9mm to 12mm.
Long lashes measure 13mm to 14mm.
For those looking for something more, extra-long lash extensions can be 15mm or longer, provided that your natural lashes can support this length safely.
During your consultation, your lash technician will determine the ideal combination of lengths for your lashes. It's important to find a balance so that the extensions don't weigh down your natural lashes, which could result in a droopy appearance. Extensions should also not touch your glasses or eyebrows, and you should feel comfortable wearing them. If they feel too long or heavy, adjustments may be needed.
CURL:
Lash extensions also come in different curls, allowing for various looks and compatibility with different types of natural lashes. Your lash technician will select a curl that complements the natural curl of your lashes.
J Curl: This curl is almost straight, with a slight curl resembling a lowercase "j." It's rarely used in the industry.
B Curl: Slightly curlier than the J Curl, it provides a bit more curl when viewed straight on. However, it's less curly than most people's natural lashes, so it's not commonly used.
C Curl: This curl offers a classic, wide-eyed look and is suitable for those without naturally pin-straight lashes.
D Curl: With a bit more curl than the C Curl, it can be used to enhance lashes with existing natural curl or to lift straight lashes, creating an eye-opening effect.
L Curl: Shaped like the letter "L," this curl provides a beautiful lift to super straight and downward-pointing natural lashes.
In most cases, your lash technician will create a blend of lashes that suits your natural lashes, eye shape, and desired look, whether it's natural, cat-eyed, or doll-like.
THICKNESS:
Just as length and curl must harmonize with your natural lashes, the thickness of the lash extensions should also complement your natural look. If you have thin natural lashes, heavier lash extensions may not be appropriate, as they could potentially cause damage and lead to even fewer lashes.
A skilled lash technician will always assess the condition of your natural lashes before selecting the appropriate extensions. They ensure that your natural lashes can support the weight of the extensions without causing any harm.
