Do Eyelashes Grow Back?



Author: Tricia Murray
Eyelashes, though thought of as only beauty enhancers do have a role to play in protecting the eyes from infections, dust, and other foreign particles. It is important to maintain the hygiene of eyelashes, as they are very sensitive. One question about eyelashes that are generally asked is- do eyelashes grow back?
Eyelashes and have their own growth cycle and stage. They have a phase of shedding, re- growing, and breaking. Eyelashes take about four to eight weeks to grow and complete their cycle. There are three important phases of eyelash growth, which are named as The Anagen, Catagen and the Telogen Phases. In the Anagen phase, the eyelash continues to grow. This phase completes in about seven weeks and almost all the time 30% of the eyelashes are in this phase of growth. The next phase also known as the lag phase is the phase where the growth of the eyelashes and follicles stop for some three weeks. In the last phase, the eyelashes fall out. The eyelashes are in these three respective stages in all times. In addition, this is the reason why you do not lose all at one time.Â
It is scientifically proven that eyelashes grow after they fall out, or are trimmed. The growth rates may vary from people to people. It grows faster for people who do not smoke and do not drink alcohol. The lifestyle of people affects eyelashes. Age also has an important role to play when it comes for eyelash growth. Young people have a faster growth while for older people eyelashes fall out more often. Eyelashes of older people grow at a very slow rate as well.

Under normal situations, eyelashes do grow back. In cases of extreme stress and other trauma, that may not be the case. Some most common forms of eyelash trauma include constant rubbing, pulling, and curling. Eyelashes, just like your hair are damaged by chemicals and heat. Along with chemicals, eyelashes are also sensitive to heat and cold weathers. Most of the trauma to eyelashes is temporary and with proper care and hygiene, they will grow out. There may also be genetic disorders and other illnesses, which may make your eyelashes, suffer.Â
If your eyelashes are taking longer than seven weeks, it is highly likely that they will not re-grow. In such case, you will have to go for growth enhancers available. These are made up of similar products that are present in hair growth products. These products are generally to enhance the growth rates and are clinically tested. Although, these techniques are good, nothing can beat the natural methods. Make sure you take all your vitamins and a well balanced diet. Stress levels also affect your eyelashes. Make sure that you relax well and limit the use of chemicals. Chemicals will yield good results initially but may bring about their side effects later, which would only worsen the case further. Â
Eyelashes grow well with proper care. Have a good and healthy lifestyle, which will go a long way to give you a healthy body and beautiful eyelashes.Â
