1. 1

2. 2

3. 3

4. 4

The correct answer is: 2

Isolating a single lash is a critical skill in applying eyelash extensions; it ensures that the extensions are applied correctly and safely. Typically, when isolating a single natural lash, it's common for technicians to have to move multiple lashes out of the way to achieve proper isolation. The most common practice is to isolate a single lash by moving aside two adjacent lashes. This approach provides enough space to clearly see and work with the selected lash, minimizing the risk of adhering multiple natural lashes together, which can lead to damage. Moving more than two lashes could introduce unnecessary complexity and increase the risk of disrupting the surrounding lashes' natural growth patterns. Conversely, attempting to isolate with only one lash manipulated may not provide the necessary clarity and precision needed during the application process. Thus, isolating two lashes is the standard method to ensure safe and effective application of eyelash extensions.
