What the term means.
B belongs to the gently curved family rather than the sharp straight-base family. Its restrained lift can be part of a design that needs definition without a strongly rounded tip.
Mixing a gentle profile with a stronger one changes the visible top line. Equal printed millimetres do not necessarily make an even transition. A technician checks the three-dimensional result, natural direction and attachment contact when combining curls.
The technical details.
- Profile
- Soft rounded lift
- Lower section
- A gentle transition into the rounded body
- Tip and bend
- Soft lift rather than an abrupt bend
- Comparison
- Typically between J and C within one range.
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Can B curl be combined with C curl?
It can form part of a suitable mixed-curl map. Matching the printed length is only a starting point; the attachment fit and visible transitions also need checking.
