I cut my eyelashes and they actually grew longer

It is a common misconception that eyelashes become longer after being cut short. The length of eyelashes is mainly determined by the growth cycle of hair follicles, and cutting eyelashes will not stimulate hair follicle growth to accelerate. Eyelash growth is divided into three stages: growth period, regression period, and resting period. The growth period lasts about 30-45 days, and eyelash cutting only affects the exposed part of the skin. After shortening the eyelashes, they may appear thicker visually, mainly due to the flattening of the cross-section. When newly formed eyelashes regrow from hair follicles, the cross-section becomes more uniform, and the change in light reflection effect may create a dense illusion. The health status of hair follicles is the key factor determining the length and density of eyelashes. insufficient intake of nutrients such as vitamin E and protein may lead to fragile and fragile eyelashes. In rare cases, repeated eyelash cutting may cause mechanical damage to hair follicles. Frequent pulling or improper trimming may lead to folliculitis, which in turn hinders the normal growth of eyelashes. The skin around the eyes is weak, and improper operation can easily cause infection, even leading to local hair follicle necrosis and permanent eyelash loss. To promote healthy eyelash growth, it is recommended to use mild eye makeup remover products containing vitamin B5 and avoid excessive rubbing of the eyelids. Proper massage around the eyes can promote blood circulation, and pairing with fragrance free eyelash nourishing liquid can help maintain the nutritional supply to hair follicles. If abnormal eyelash shedding or hair follicle redness occurs, seek medical attention promptly to investigate potential issues such as thyroid dysfunction or seborrheic dermatitis.
