Which direction should you begin when removing eyelash extensions to minimize damage?

• A. Start from the outer corner
• B. Start from the inner corner
• C. Pull directly from center
• D. Use forceful tugs

Answer: (A)

Starting at the outer corner helps minimize damage because it lets you control the bond gradually along the lash line rather than pulling straight from the more delicate inner area. Working from the outer edge toward the inner corner allows the extensions to release in the direction of natural lash growth, reducing tension on the roots and lowering the risk of snapping or weakening lashes. Avoid pulling from the center or inner corner and never use forceful tugs, as those motions can catch multiple lashes at once and cause trauma. Using a proper lash remover and easing each extension off gently will protect the natural lashes while removing the extensions.
