CC curl lashes
explained.

Updated

In plain English

CC curl generally indicates more pronounced roundness than C, often positioned between C and D in one supplier range.

Also seen as: C+ curl (brand-dependent)

Illustrative profile · not to scale

What the term means.

The double letter does not mean twice the angle or twice the curl. Some suppliers use C+ for a comparable catalogue position, but names and product geometry vary.

Changing C to CC alters the upper profile and may also affect the lower section available for attachment. Apparent length and eyelid clearance need review. More curl is a different design decision from increasing the number of fibres or their density.

The technical details.

Comparison
C+ may be a neighbouring or equivalent label in a particular brand.

These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.

A common question.

Are C+ and CC always the same?

No. A brand may use them as equivalents, but naming is not universal. Check that supplier's profile before substituting one code for another.
