Long, full eyelashes are coveted by many women. Mascaras that plump and lengthen lashes are a multi-million dollar industry. Many treatments traditionally reserved for hair are beginning to make their way into the eyelash arena as well, such as extensions and transplants.
What can you do to make your eyelashes longer? Eyelash length tends to be genetic but recently some new treatments have come into existence that do help eyelashes to grow. These solutions are applied to the lash area with a mascara-type spool brush on a daily basis and most users report longer lashes within a few months. However, discontinuing use usually results in a stoppage of this extra growth. Vitamins can also be used to help stimulate eyelash and eyebrow growth.
How can you get the appearance of longer lashes? If you’re not sold on the idea of trying to make your eyelashes grow physically, it is easy to enough to fake the look with the right tools. A good lengthening mascara can work wonders when it comes to the illusion of longer lashes. Waterproof formulas may be harder to remove but they do the best job at building length. Mascaras that contain special fibers that attach to the lash and extend it are also very effective at this.
Do eyelashes grow back? This is a common question. It can be upsetting to lose eyelashes and in the case of eyelash curler accidents it can be devastating. However, eyelashes do in fact grow back. It just takes some time. An eyelash growth cycle is around one and a half to two months. During this time you can help the process along by using growth products and vitamins but you will also need to exercise some patience. If you really can’t stand the wait, you may want to look into extensions but you will need at least a small amount of growth before doing this so there is a place to attach the extensions.
Eyelashes are delicate hairs that require careful handling. You can increase the odds of keeping the lashes you have by being gentle with curlers and when removing eye makeup. If you weren’t blessed with naturally long lashes, thankfully there are other ways to get the long, lush lash look you desire.
