What the term means.
M contributes a directional outline rather than a conventional rounded C silhouette. Its lower section and lifted transition should be considered together, and the exact shape differs between ranges.
A more lifted tip still needs suitable contact at the base and comfortable clearance. When combining M with rounded curls, apparent height and length at the transition matter. A technical map records these choices rather than just one letter for the whole eye.
The technical details.
- Profile
- Lifted directional transition
- Lower section
- A straighter lower section of product-specific length
- Tip and bend
- A pronounced lifted upper shape
- Comparison
- Different transition geometry from a continuous C or angled L.
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Does M curl mean cat-eye styling?
No. M is a fibre profile and cat-eye is mapped emphasis. They can work together, but the curl does not determine the whole shape.
