LC curl lashes
explained.

Updated

In plain English

LC combines a relatively straight lower section with an upper curve described as C-like within its product range.

Illustrative profile · not to scale

What the term means.

The combined letters describe different parts of the profile: lower attachment geometry and a rounded upper lift. It is more specific than calling a product merely stronger or weaker than C.

When comparing LC and a conventional rounded C, look at where the curve begins. A straighter base can place the same nominal length differently in space. The supplier diagram and open-eye check clarify the resulting projection.

The technical details.

Profile
Straight base, C-like upper curve
Lower section
Straighter lower section than a continuous rounded curve
Tip and bend
C-like upper roundness
Comparison
LD uses a D-like upper shape in ranges distinguishing both.

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 LC a type of lash lift?

No. LC describes the factory-formed profile of an extension fibre. A lash lift reshapes the person's existing natural lashes using a professional treatment system.
