Mastering L+ Curl Premade Fans: The Ultimate Guide for Lash Artists

In the world of eyelash extensions, choosing the right curl can make or break a lash set. While classic curls like C, CC, or D are versatile and widely used, specialty curls have gained attention for their ability to transform challenging eye shapes and create trending lash looks. Among these, the L+ curl premade fan is quickly becoming a favorite.

With its flat base that guarantees stronger retention and a sharply lifted tip that opens up the eyes, L+ curl is a must-have for lash artists who want to add drama, precision, and lift to their lash work. When combined with the speed and consistency of premade lash fans, this curl unlocks new creative possibilities in the lash room.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about L+ curl lash extensions and L+ curl premade fans — from definitions and comparisons to styling, application, lash maps, and aftercare.

What Are Premade Fans?

Before diving into the L+ curl itself, let’s clarify what premade fans (also known as premade fans) are.

Premade lash fans are clusters of multiple lash extensions that have already been fanned out and bonded at the base during manufacturing. Instead of creating a handmade fan during the appointment, lash artists can simply pick up a premade fan and place it on the natural lash.

Premade fans come in various options:

Fan dimensions → from 3D to 20D (3D–5D for light volume, 6D–10D for fuller volume, 11D–20D for mega volume).
Lengths → 5–25 mm for styling flexibility.
Diameters → 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 mm, depending on the desired weight and fan size.

Because they are heat-bonded or glue-bonded at the base and double heat-set to preserve curl, high-quality premade fans are consistent, durable, and easy to use.

What Makes L+ Curl Different?

The L+ curl is a unique curl type that stands out in the lash curl chart. It combines two defining features:

Flat Base → The straight, flat base creates a strong bonding area, which enhances adhesive grip and improves retention. This is particularly beneficial for clients with straight or downward lashes, where other curls might not bond as well.
Sharply Lifted Tip → Unlike the standard L curl, the L+ curl has a slightly sharper, more dramatic lift at the tip. This makes lashes appear more open and lifted without adding excessive length or weight.

L curl vs. L+ curl:

L curl → Straight base + gentle lift = subtle eyeliner effect.
L+ curl → Straight base + sharper tip = stronger, more eye-catching lift.

Benefits of L+ Curl Premade Fans

L+ curl premade fans combine the technical benefits of the curl with the efficiency of premade fans. Here’s why lash artists love them:

Saves time → No need to handcraft fans.
Consistent results → Every fan is uniform in curl, diameter, and spacing.
Better retention → Thanks to the flat base that bonds securely.
Great for tricky eye shapes → Ideal for hooded, monolid, or downward lashes.
Supports trendy lash maps → Perfect for cat eye, fox eye, and open eye looks.
Flexibility in styling → Available in multiple fan sizes (3D–20D), lengths, and thicknesses.

Best Eye Shapes for L+ Curl Extensions

The L+ curl is particularly effective for clients with:

Hooded eyes → The sharp tip ensures the extensions remain visible above the eyelid fold.
Monolid eyes → Adds dimension and creates a lifted, open look.
Downward lashes → Corrects droopiness and makes eyes appear brighter.
Deep-set eyes → Pushes lashes forward so they don’t get lost under the brow bone.

⚠️ Not ideal for:

Clients with protruding eyes (L+ can look harsh).
Clients with naturally upward lashes (the effect may look too exaggerated).

L+ Curl vs. Other Specialty Curls

When deciding which specialty curl to use, it helps to compare them side by side:

Curl Type	Shape	Effect	Best Clients	Not Ideal For
L Curl	Flat base with subtle lift	Gentle eyeliner effect	Hooded, monolid, droopy lids	Protruding eyes
L+ Curl	Flat base + sharper upward tip	Strong, dramatic open-eye effect	Hooded, monolid, straight/downward lashes	Protruding or upward lashes
M Curl	Curve begins near the base	Bold, instant lift	Almond, deep-set, round eyes	Hooded or upward lashes
V Curl	Flat base + very steep tip	Ultra-dramatic lift	Wide-set, downturned, round eyes	Straight lashes

Styling with L+ Curl Premade Fans

The L+ curl is a versatile curl for different lash maps. Here are some of the most popular applications:

1. Cat Eye Lash Map

Shorter lengths in the inner corner, increasing toward the outer edge.
Creates an elongated, lifted wing effect.

2. Fox Eye Lash Map

Concentrates longer lengths on the outer third of the lash line.
Produces a sultry, angled look.

3. Open Eye Map

Medium lengths across the lash line.
Opens up hooded or monolid eyes for a brighter appearance.

💡 Pro Tip: Blend L+ fans with softer curls (C, CC) in the inner corners for a natural transition.
