Are your eyelashes short, thin, brittle, and falling out? Have you already tried everything imaginable to make them look longer, fuller, and smoother? Nothing helps permanently, and you wonder whether your eyelashes will ever grow back? We have received numerous questions about whether and how eyelashes grow back, so now we will clear things up!
Below, you will also find out what you need to know to optimally support your eyelashes as they grow back.
The key question: Do eyelashes grow back?
Yes! However, it is important to understand that the timing of the loss plays a major role. If an eyelash falls out while it is still in the growth phase, it will likely take longer for it to grow back. It would grow faster if it had fallen out naturally.
Every person has between 300 and 450 small hairs per eye, with significantly more hairs growing on the upper eyelid than on the lower. There are a maximum of 150 individual eyelashes here. The length of the hairs also depends on whether they grow on the upper or lower part of the eyelid. Upper eyelashes can reach a length of approximately 8 to 12 mm, while those on the lower eyelid measure just 6 mm.
How quickly do eyelashes grow back?
The answer, i.e. how quickly eyelashes grow, depends on genetics and the nourishment of the hair root.
In principle, growth is divided into three phases:
- In Phase 1, eyelashes grow actively and become longer. This occurs over a period of 30 to 45 days. The first phase ends when the eyelashes reach their maximum length.
- In Phase 2 of growth, no further hair cells are produced, the hair root sheath shrinks and hardens. Breakage should be prevented here.
- Phase 3 is a resting phase. During this phase, the eyelash hair remains in place for up to 100 days before falling out. Then the growth cycle begins again.
However, with a healthy, vitamin-rich diet and special care, eyelash growth can actually be stimulated somewhat.
Our 2 tips: Proper eyelash care for optimal regrowth
So that you do not have to resort to false eyelashes, but can make your short eyelashes long and full, you need to know some basics. Just like your hair, your eyelashes also need targeted care. Especially those who apply mascara daily should pay attention to the following:
- Make sure to have a gentle makeup removal routine. Ideally, use natural and mild products to remove makeup and make sure not to rub your eyelashes, otherwise the hairs will quickly fall out or break.
- The fine hairs should be detangled with an eyelash comb before applying mascara. This removes dust and foreign particles and prevents individual hairs from clumping together.
