Astonishing Facts About Human Eyelashes

I keep reading about eyelashes, proper care, and sometimes I find interesting information that I would like to share with you. These fascinating facts about our eyelashes help us better understand what's good or bad for them, useful or harmful, and will allow us to comprehend why certain changes occur with our lashes. And it's always beneficial to learn something new about our body.

  • Eyelashes may seem like such a small part of our body, but they actually perform an essential function - to protect our eyes. Nature has created a kind of natural barrier that helps to minimize eye contact with sweat, dust, and even different ultraviolet rays.
  • As we age, the quality of our lashes changes just like the condition of all the tissues in our body. Eyelashes grow throughout a person's life, but the aging process causes them to become thinner and less dense. A balanced diet, especially rich in biotin (a source of B vitamins found in foods like soy, peanuts, legumes, nuts, liver, cauliflower) can help prolong the youth and splendor of our lashes.
There is a myth that eyelashes don't turn gray. In fact, our lashes retain their color longer than our hair, but they do turn gray, just like all the hair on our body, only after many more years. In some diseases, eyelashes can turn gray, regardless of age.
  • Women dream of long, thick lashes with a seductive curve. They purchase a variety of expensive products, serums, etc. But many of these simultaneously degrade the condition of their eyelashes, due to improper care. What's important to remember?
  1. Firstly, you need to choose a high-quality mascara. It should not have a chemical smell and should have a cream-like consistency. Ideally, its ingredients should include components such as keratin, lanolin, proteins, oils, vitamins E, A, B5 and trace elements. You can hardly expect high-quality mascara to be cheap. This product is worth investing in.
  2. Secondly, you should never go to bed without first removing your eye makeup. It's a crime against your lashes and the skin around your eyes, a condition that can be severely affected by this. Always ensure you remove the mascara so there are no residues left on your lashes or skin.
  3. Thirdly, using an eyelash curler can not only provide the desired curve, but it can also lead to sad consequences. Often, girls yank their lashes with curlers and thus break them. Therefore, constant use of curlers doesn't improve the appearance of the lashes, but rather the opposite.


  • When you notice that your lashes are beginning to fall out, don't rush to buy all kinds of "novelties" and "miracles" for lash growth. Until you identify the cause of this reaction in your body, applying oils and serums won't help.

Each lash, like hair, is composed of the shaft and the root. The base of the hair - the bulb, is located in the skin 3mm deep, and from it, the lashes grow. In the event of metabolic changes in the body, the bulb doesn't receive the nutrients it needs, which results in the deterioration of lash quality, and the lashes may fall out. Therefore, eyelash loss should be seen as a signal from the body that something is off, and you should try to eliminate the cause of this disorder.

Moreover, the growth of body hair can slow down as a result of taking certain medications - some pain relievers and antipyretics.
  • Hormonal disorders are often the cause of slowed hair and eyelash growth or loss. Therefore, women often complain about the poor condition of their hair and lashes after giving birth. By the way, there's a rare hormonal pathology in which there is excessive growth of lashes. In this case, the woman is not at all happy with her long lashes because they cause discomfort or even pain. This is a rare situation where you have to cut your lashes.
  • The average length of the lashes on the upper eyelid is 10 millimeters. Do you know the length of the longest lashes? The longest lashes belong to a man from India. This fact is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records - in 2004, Phut Rav Mutilar's natural lashes grew to 47 millimeters without any intervention.
  • Did you know that the only parts of your body not covered with hair are the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands? The rest of the body is covered with hair of different structures and colors.
  • Lashes differ in their parameters in people with different hair colors. Brunettes are luckier, their lashes are longer than those of blondes.
Parameters like length, thickness, and density of the lashes are genetically defined, so we can't change anything in adulthood. We should take care of our lashes to achieve the maximum possible length and thickness, but if we want more, we have to resort to eyelash extension procedures.

The thickness of the lashes varies among members of different races. The Mongoloid race is characterized by thicker, stiffer lashes, while Europeans have the most delicate lashes.

In addition, parameters can vary depending on the region where you live, the diet of several generations, etc. Hot climates require more protective care for human eyes from ultraviolet rays, so nature has given the inhabitants of tropical countries long lashes.

I wish your lashes were always healthy, thick, and shiny. And if, for any reason, you are not satisfied with their appearance, feel free to write or call, I will always advise you on eyelash extension treatments. After all, in today's world, we don't have to settle for only the lash parameters that nature has given us!
