Curls . . . Curls . . . Curls !!!
Lashes come in a variety of different curls . . . . insert confused look of a new client here. Sometimes I take for granted that new clients understand what the heck I'm talking about when I discuss the design of their look. Because each of my clients are fantastic in their own unique way I make sure that each person's lashes are designed to suit them. The design of lashy look is based on the shape of the eye, length of the natural lash, lifestyle of the individual, density of the hair and finally the expectation of the client. In order to ensure that all of these things are taken into account a design has to be created. The design usually involves 5 to 6 different lengths, thicknesses of 2 to 3 types and then the cherry on top . . . THE CURLS. Single strand eyelash extensions come in 4 types of curls, that's another one of the many advantages of using a single strand system. Clusters in addition to being damaging do not come in different curls. It's a one size fits all design with the lengths and curls being the same for everyone.Let's get curly with it !, here is breakdown of the different curls:J Curl: Just as it sounds it's shaped like the letter "J" with the long shaft and a slight swoop at the end.B Curl: Little curlier than the "J" curl, this is called the universal curl. It's a fav of most lash stylists. It's shaped like the round part of the letter "B" and packs a little more punch than the "J" curlC Curl: This one is my favourite, I use this curl along the bridge of the lash design and it pops right up to attention making the eye appear larger and giving the overall design the impact that most clients are looking for. Because the shaft is short these guys tend to be the first to come off.D Curl: The newest of all the curls, it's just been released and I think it already has a fan club created in it's honour. This is the curliest of all lashes on the market and stands right up along the lash line. I use D Curls to create drama along the bridge for events like weddings and parties. The shaft is super short so it isn't suited for long term wear and after the event, I'll return to the original design used on the client for everyday wear.At the end of the day, it's all about the curl baby !!
