What the term means.
V is less universal than the familiar rounded C and D family. Manufacturer catalogues use it for a distinct lifted option, but the letter does not specify one bend angle or fixed base length.
Inspect the actual product rather than automatically equating V with M, L or extreme-L. Recording the lower contact section, bend position and tip direction makes the intended geometry clearer than the name alone.

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 V describe a fan's opening angle?
Here it names the curl profile. Fan opening and base construction are separate details, even when the component fibres share one curl.
