What the term means.
The I label describes a fibre intended to add definition without a strongly rounded curl. It is independent of length, material or fan size, so a short and a long I-profile extension create different projections.
With very little bend, the supporting natural lash direction has a particularly direct effect on the visible outline. The technical assessment needs to consider where the tip points with the eye open, alongside its lower attachment fit.

A common question.
Is I curl a lower-lash extension?
I is a shape, while lower-lash describes placement. Check the specific product's intended use, length and diameter rather than treating the curl label as a placement instruction.
