Do eyelashes grow back is a common question asked by many and the answer is certainly, your eyelashes will usually grow back and the growth rate is usually the same as the hair on your head. However, it doesn’t necessarily follow that if you have a head full of thick hair that your eyelashes will be full and thick as well.
There are a few factors that affect eyelash growth, including trauma (physical or mental), age and how you normally care for your eyes. Let’s look at those three one-by-one.
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident, the shock of that accident, even if it does not involve your eyes may stunt the growth process for a while. Likewise, if you are very stressed or depressed this may happen as well. Naturally, you would be more concerned if you had an accident that directly affected your lashes, for example, getting them singed at a barbeque! At these times you may have asked yourself, “do eyelashes grow back”. The answer is still yes, and they should grow back normally, even if this takes longer than normal you should still see growth within 4 to 8 weeks. When the regrowth starts, this will be usually at the same rate as the growth of the hair on your head.
When you are younger, as with a lot of things, your body is better at regeneration. Age unfortunately not only affects the skin, it will also affect the regeneration process of the eyelashes and you will find your eyelashes thinning out considerable. You could try an eyelash grower serum which will certainly help, as some have been scientifically tested (some of these tests may not pass what some people think of as science, but they have certainly shown something happening). The serums are applied to base of the lashes with a mascara wand every night for a couple of weeks so are very simple to use. Unfortunately, you will have to repeat the process every couple of months, but the effects are worth it. You can also try using the serums once your lashes have started to grow again following a trauma.
Eye care is important, and if you do not do this you will probably end up damaging your eyelashes. A lot of people go for a hurried wipe, and drag and pull out their eyelashes as they do. Be gentle with your eyes and think about what you are doing. Unless unavoidable, NEVER sleep in your make-up! Sleeping in your makeup is quite unattractive in the morning, and your eyes will suffer as well.
So to answer your question again, “do eyelashes grow back?” For the majority of people yes they do, but if you are at all concerned contact your doctor. Otherwise, sorry, but you will just need to be patient!
