How fast do eyelashes grow and what does it depend on?

Many girls today resort to the eyelash extension procedure. It allows you to get an expressive look to the owner of any source data. However, as a result of wearing artificial hairs for a long time, your own hairs can weaken and fall out. This happens especially often after the procedure with low-quality materials. In such cases, girls try to restore lost eyelashes as soon as possible. Of course, they are interested in the question of when this can be done.

However, such a question may arise under other circumstances. Hair can thin out, even if there was no extension. Our article will tell you about the possible causes of the problem and how quickly you can solve it.

Renewal of eyelashes in a healthy person is a normal physiological phenomenon. Periodically, hairs fall out, but new ones quickly take their place. Since the eyelashes frame the eyes in large numbers, the process is completely invisible. This is explained by the fact that each hair in its development goes through several phases. Each eyelash can last for 60 to 200 days... The exact amount of time depends on various factors.

There are 4 phases of the life cycle of a hair.

• Anagen - active period. At this time, the eyelash grows. The period lasts from 2 to 5 weeks.
• Catagen - resting phase. During this period, the hair gradually dies off. The duration of the process is from 3 to 5 weeks.
• Telogen - shift phase. At this time, the hair falls out, and a new bulb is born in its place. This phase takes 2.5-3 months.
• Early anagen - the stage at which the formed hair develops.

If for some reason a large number of eyelashes are lost at the same time, the process of restoring them from scratch can take from 2 to 3 months, depending on the situation. New hairs take a long time to grow, but with the help of some tricks (we will talk about them later) you can speed up this process a little.... Of course, it is important to solve the problem that led to the loss.

Let's take a look at the main causes of slow eyelash growth.

In the human body, everything is interconnected. Often the reason for the loss of eyelashes is the careless attitude of girls to their health. The main factors can be:

• lack of vitamins in the body (in this case, you should pay attention to your diet, introduce useful dietary supplements into the diet);
• diseases of the eyes and eyelids (you should consult a doctor and cure the ailment);
• bad habits (it is advisable to quit smoking and alcohol abuse).

Often the problem under consideration is caused by negative external influences on the body and, in particular, on the eye area.

• Unfavorable ecological situation... This can also include excessive dryness of the air, high or low temperatures, strong winds and much more. If there is no way to change your place of residence, you should pay particular attention to the quality of nutrition, the intake of necessary vitamins into the body, and external care for the area around the eyes.

• Using unsuitable cosmetics... It can be low-quality or expired shadows, mascara, aggressive makeup removers. The occurrence of allergies to some components of cosmetic products is not excluded. In this case, you should abandon the usual means, replace them with hypoallergenic cosmetics from trusted manufacturers. If the allergic reaction is severe, for a while it is better to give up makeup altogether (until the moment when the skin calms down and returns to its normal state).

• Mechanical impact... Coloring, curling, eyelash extensions can lead to hair loss. All these procedures involve exposing the hair to chemical components (adhesives, dyes). In case of a strong deterioration in the appearance of the area around the eyes, it is worth taking a break from visiting a beautician and doing some recovery. There are situations when girls try to unsuccessfully increase the length of their eyelashes by cutting them.

There are general, simple rules that will not only allow you to restore lost cilia as soon as possible, but also help keep them in good shape in the future.

• Daily makeup removal... Never go to bed wearing makeup. At night, mascara can roll on the hairs and negatively affect their condition. The same applies to eyeshadows, because the condition of this part of the face is directly related to the eyelashes. The skin must necessarily rest from decorative products.

• Exclusion from use of products with alcohol in the composition... This component adversely affects the condition of the skin and hairs. Therefore, it is better that it is not in the foam for washing, micellar water, tonic, cream for the skin around the eyes, decorative cosmetics (mascara, eye shadow).

• Minimization of mechanical stress... If possible, do not rub your eyes with your hands, do not sleep with your face in the pillow.Never trim or pull out your eyelashes. Such manipulations will not help to increase the length and density of existing vegetation. On the contrary, it can lead to a deterioration in the appearance and stress of the body. Minimize chemical coloration and frizz.

First of all, it is advisable to choose mascara with caring components. This way you not only give the hair the desired length, volume and curvature. You simultaneously nourish and strengthen them, reducing the negative effects of chemical components.

In the composition of decorative cosmetics, the following ingredients are welcome:

• wheat proteins;
• panthenol;
• melanin;
• lanolin;
• keratin;
• UV blockers;
• vitamins (A, E, F, B5 and others);
• plant extracts such as quince seeds, rice bran, neem leaves, black tea, eyebright;
• healthy oils such as castor, argan, sasanqua, jojoba, passionfruit, cocoa.

Liquid vitamins and oils sold in pharmacies work well as eyelash care products. Many girls use castor oil, vitamin A and E solutions to care for the area around the eyes. They are used as makeup removers or lotions on cotton pads or napkins. Many people apply oils to their eyelashes with a cotton swab.

Some manufacturers offer natural products in convenient bottles with special brushes to make it easier to apply. These products contain several valuable oils, vitamins and extracts at once. When applied regularly, they make hairs stronger, stronger and more elastic. And they also accelerate the regeneration processes, provoke the rapid growth of new cilia. The most popular products include DNC, Elma, Oleos.

The Crimean firm "House of Nature" has earned great trust. Her products "Growth Formula" and "Shine Formula" sold in dark glass vials with a pipette. The good thing about the products is that they can be applied not only to the hairs, but also to the eyelids along the ciliary edge. This is especially true for girls who have lost a large number of eyelashes and are growing them from scratch. Usma's unique oil helps to wake up dormant bulbs, strengthen them and accelerate the appearance of new healthy eyelashes.

Some women leave oils on their eyelashes all night long. Others apply them for a couple of hours in the evening and wash them off before bed to avoid puffy eyes in the morning. This reaction to oils is individual, it happens not for everyone. This nuance is checked empirically. It is better to do this on the eve of the weekend in order to have time to put yourself in order in case of an unsuccessful experiment.

Some girls resort to folk recipes for masks that have a beneficial effect on the condition of the area around the eyes and help with the restoration of eyelashes.

For this mask, you need to brew loose leaf tea. It is important to take a natural product without colors or artificial flavors. The tea leaves should be strong. After draining the liquid, pour it into a clean bowl and add a few drops of nutritious oil. The optimal dosage is 5 ml of oil for 10 ml of tea. Castor, almond, burdock is ideal.

A good option would be linseed or olive unrefined cold-pressed oil. And you can also take an oil solution of vitamin E. The resulting composition should be applied to the eyelids and the ciliary edge every day in the evenings.

Instead of tea brewing, you can use a decoction of chamomile, calendula or sage... These herbs have a pronounced anti-inflammatory, soothing effect.They are suitable for the care of sensitive eyelid skin, promote regeneration, strengthen existing hairs and the appearance of new ones.

This beneficial herb not only nourishes the skin around the eyes with vitamins, but also brightens it, making the look more rested and expressive. This is especially true for those of the fair sex who are familiar with the problem of blue circles under the eyes and hyperpigmentation.

Chop the parsley. Then oil is added to it (the suitable options were mentioned earlier). The resulting composition is thoroughly mixed and squeezed out with gauze. The result is a nourishing liquid that is recommended to be applied to the area around the eyes and eyelashes.

The healing power of this plant is known to many. Therefore, using aloe to restore eyelashes is quite logical. In this case, the plant sap is mixed with a nutritious oil. Recommended proportions 1 to 1. The resulting liquid is applied to the eyelashes and eyelids. In this case, it is important (this also applies to other recipes) that the mixture does not get into the eyes. After 15-20 minutes, the mask is gently washed off using a damp cotton pad or napkin.
