C Curl vs CC Curl: How to Choose the Right Lash Curl for Your Clients

When it’s all said and done, it’s all about the curl to achieve that perfect lash look – whether you’re designing a classic or a textured hybrid set. Knowing the subtle yet powerful distinctions between C curl and CC curl eyelash extensions can really take your craftsmanship to that next level. At Swaniya, we work with lash artists and salons all over the globe to get the right curl for every eye shape, every lash type, and every styling goal.

This guide covers all the differences between C and CC curls in terms of appearance, application, retention, suitability for the client, and more with how Swaniya’s luxury lash trays really up the game.

What Is a C Curl Lash?

The C curl is one of the most popular lash curls in the industry because it creates a gentle, natural-looking lift comparable to using an eyelash curler or just light mascara.

Characteristics of C curl lashes:

They naturally have an arching curvature that is friendly to one's eyes

They are recommended for customers whose lashes grow naturally upwards

Good for classic daily sets and subtle volume patterns

Most suitable for almost all eye shapes, particularly almond, and round ones

At Swaniya, our C curl lash trays are made from high-quality PBT fibers. These are super light, super soft, available in a mix or single length of 8-18mm and all thickness between 0.03 to 0.20mm.

What Is a CC Curl Lash?

The CC curl gives a little more dramatic lift than C curl—placed between C and D curls. It improves eye shape with extra curl but without being too bold or fake.

Key features of CC curl lashes:

Gives a more lifted and open-eye effect

Works well for clients with straight or downward-pointing natural lashes

Very flattering on clients with hooded or deep-set eyes
