Question
Does brushing eyelashes down make them shorter? Will the eyelashes continue to grow?
Answer
This action will not make your eyelashes shorter, so please rest assured. The length and size of each person’s eyelashes and eyes are determined by genetic factors. Eyelashes grow at the edge of the eyelids, forming 2-3 rows, with the upper eyelids having more and longer lashes, usually around 100-150 in number, with a length of about 8-12 millimeters. Eyelashes serve a protective function and continuously self-renew. After an eyelash falls out, it can grow back by about 1-2 millimeters in a week, and it takes approximately 10 weeks to reach its original length.
