What the term means.
C is a curl code rather than a technique. It can be supplied as a single classic fibre or as fine fibres for volume fans. Diameter and length are still needed to describe the product.
A rounded fibre distributes its stated length along a curve. Equal C and D length labels therefore do not establish equal forward projection. The natural lash direction and lower-section fit determine how that profile actually sits.
The technical details.
- Profile
- Rounded mid-profile
- Lower section
- A lower section flowing into a rounded curve
- Tip and bend
- Noticeable upward turn
- Comparison
- CC generally increases roundness; D makes it more pronounced.
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Is C curl a fixed angle?
There is no universal calibrated angle for the letter. Compare the supplier diagram and actual fibre instead of assuming that every C curl is geometrically identical.
