How do you remove lashes?

• A. Starting from the outer corner.
• B. Starting from the inner corner.
• C. Starting from the middle of lash line.
• D. Using forceps to pull from any direction.

Answer: (A)

When removing lashes, the goal is to release the extensions gently without tugging on the natural lashes or irritating the eye. Starting at the outer corner is best because it gives you access to the edge of the bond first, allowing the remover to soften it there and you to lift the extension away gradually as you move toward the inner corner. This helps minimize stress on the natural lashes and reduces the chance of snagging skin or causing discomfort.

If you tried to start at the inner corner, it’s harder to access safely and you’re more likely to irritate the eye or damage lashes. Beginning in the middle can lead to uneven removal and missed areas. Using forceps to pull from any direction ignores the softened bond and can cause lash breakage or eye injury.
