Lash Extension Curl, Thickness and Length: How to Choose (Cheat Sheet)

Палетки ресниц для наращивания разных изгибов и толщин

Updated: October 8, 2026 · LashMaker team, ONRIAL brand representative in Israel

Lash extensions are chosen by four parameters: the curl sets the effect (from a natural B to a dramatic D, and L curls for hooded eyes), the thickness depends on the technique (0.10–0.12 mm for classic, 0.03–0.07 mm for volume), the length depends on the client's natural lashes, and the color on her complexion. Below are cheat-sheet tables for each parameter and a guide to ONRIAL, Vilmy and Sculptor trays.

Lash curls: table

Curl How it looks Who it suits
B soft, almost straight natural effect, straight natural lashes, men's extensions
C classic, moderate the most versatile curl, suits most clients
C+ / CC between C and D a more open look without the "doll" effect
D strong, curly a dramatic "doll" effect, lashes that grow straight forward
L / L+ flat base and a sharp lift hooded eyes, straight or downward-pointing natural lashes, almond-shaped Asian eyes
M flat base and a gradual lift a softer alternative to L when you need lift without a sharp bend
LB / LC / LD / LJ L base with a B, C, D or J curl correcting the growth direction with the lift you need

The main rule: the lower and straighter the natural lashes grow and the more hooded the lid, the more lift you need — move from C to CC and D, or to L curls. If the natural lashes are already curly, a strong D curl may look unnatural; C or CC is a better choice.

The widest curl choice is in the VIYA trays (from B to LJ) and ONRIAL Super Black mix (B, C, CC, D, L, L90, M). L curls are collected in the LOTUS line: LB, LC, LD, LJ.

Lash thickness: which one for which technique

Thickness Technique Note
0.03 mm mega volume, 6D and more the lightest, for thin and weak lashes
0.05 mm volume 4D–5D a balance of lightness and density
0.06–0.07 mm 2D–3D, textured and wet effects the most popular thickness for volume
0.10 mm classic (1:1), 2D a defined line; check that the natural lashes are strong
0.12 mm classic (1:1) the boldest, fullest line, only for healthy strong lashes

The principle is simple: the more lashes in a fan, the thinner each one should be, so the total weight doesn't overload the natural lash. For weak lashes, go one step thinner.

How to choose lash length

  • Guideline: the extension is about 2–3 mm longer than the natural lash. An extension that is too long acts as a lever and shortens retention.
  • The most popular lengths are 9–12 mm. Short 4–7 mm lengths are for the inner corner and the lower row; long 14–18 mm lengths are for statement effects (fox eye, doll, wet look).
  • The effect comes from the length map: natural — lengths grow gradually toward the outer corner; doll — the longest in the center; fox eye — the longest at the outer corner; squirrel — the peak length near the outer third.

Mixed tray or single lengths?

  • Mixed tray — several lengths in one tray (for example 9–12 mm or 6–13 mm). Convenient for everyday work and for getting started: everything is at hand.
  • Single lengths — the whole tray is one length. Good value when one length runs out faster than the rest: you restock only that one.

Many lash artists keep 1–2 mixed trays for their main curls and restock popular lengths with single-length trays.

What else affects the result

Even perfectly chosen lashes won't last without good prep and the right glue. How to choose a glue for your working pace and room humidity — in our guide "Fiji, Monaco or Houston: which glue to choose". For isolation and picking up fans you'll need lash extension tweezers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most popular lash curl?

C. It is a moderate curl that suits most clients and gives an open yet natural look. For a more dramatic effect choose CC or D; for a natural one, B.

Which curl is best for hooded eyes?

L curls: L, L+, M or the hybrid LB, LC, LD, LJ. They have a flat base, so the lash doesn't press against the lid, and the lift starts further from the root, where it stays visible.

What thickness should I use for classic lash extensions?

0.10 or 0.12 mm — if the natural lashes are healthy and strong. For thin or weak lashes, 0.07 mm is better.

What thickness do I need for 2D, 3D and higher volume?

As a guideline: 2D — 0.07 or 0.10 mm, 3D — 0.07 mm, 4D–5D — 0.05 mm, 6D and more — 0.03 mm. The more lashes in a fan, the thinner each one.

How long can lash extensions be?

Usually 2–3 mm longer than the natural lashes. Longer extensions overload the natural lash and shorten retention.

Which is better value: a mixed tray or single lengths?

A mixed tray is convenient for getting started and for working with different length maps — all lengths in one tray. Single lengths are better value when one length (often 10–12 mm) runs out faster than the rest.

How much is lash delivery in Israel?

₪35, free on orders from ₪500. In Haifa, the Krayot, Akko, Nahariya and nearby — free from ₪200. Delivery takes 1–4 business days. Details on the shipping and payment page.
