The body has different parts and each one is connected to the other, enabling all of the parts of the body to stay alive. The hair is an example of a part of the body which, when detached, dies. But basically, all other parts of the body die when they are removed from the whole system. Severing an arm would cause you to become permanently armless. The same goes for the legs. But the hair is quite different because there is still a chance of it to grow back despite detachment. If the roots and hair follicles have not been severely damaged, the hair can still grow back after removing it.
But the scalp hair is not the only hair in the body. In fact, the entire body is actually covered in hair, except for the lips, palms, and the soles of the feet. The scalp is the only place where massive hair growth occurs, but there are other locations where hair grows thick, like the eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, face, and pubic area. The eyebrows and the eyelashes are very prominent areas of hair growth. A lot of people even want to have thick hair growth in these areas because they are directly attributed to beauty. If you have long and thick eyelashes, for instance, your eyes become highlighted and their color stands out very well. This is the reason why a lot of people desire to have long and thick eyelashes.
But there are some cases when, instead of growing thicker lashes, people actually start losing eyelashes. There are a lot of reasons why this can happen. One of the common causes of eyelash balding is the constant treatment of the lashes. If you keep on treating the eyelashes with harsh chemicals like very strong and irritating growth serums, false eyelash glue, and makeup, the hair follicles may die. This can make the lashes fall out.
Another reason for the eyelashes to fall out is improper grooming. For instance, if someone told you that cutting or plucking the eyelashes will make them grow longer and you do these steps, your lashes can completely die. Like what was stated earlier, when you detach a part of the body from the entire system, it can completely die. This is what happens when you pluck the eyelashes, and not all people know that so they fall for the myth that plucking lashes can make them grow longer and thicker.
Some health problems can also cause hair loss, and the eyelashes are either indirectly or directly affected by them. An example would be cancer, where you will be required to undergo chemotherapy. Undergoing chemotherapy would cause whole body baldness because of the drug that will run through your entire bloodstream. The lashes will fall out, and this can be quite problematic because you will need to endure several months of baldness not only in the lashes but also on the scalp and on the whole body.
If you are losing eyelashes and you want to grow them back, you can use some products which are especially formulated for that purpose. These include eyelash growth serums and eyelash growth mascaras. There are also natural methods of making the lashes grow like applying lemon juice on the eyelids, applying castor oil or olive oil, and eating a lot of foods rich in iron, proteins, vitamin B complex, and amino acids. These are substances which are responsible for hair fiber production and they can help make your lashes grow faster and longer.
To prevent the lashes from falling out, it’s best not to perform the activities which may lead to losing eyelashes.
