Ugh. How long does it take for eyelashes to grow?
Not a great way to start my week this morning. I sneezed while curling my eyelashes this morning, ripping out clumps and clumps of lashes. I have a handful still attached to my left eye on the inside corner. The rest went down the drain. I cried. With eyeliner, you can only tell if you are close and looking for it, but I feel so self conscious with a bald eye.
I'm hesitant to try false lashes because my eyes are super sensitive. I hope it doesn't take too long for them to grow back in.

Re: Ugh. How long does it take for eyelashes to grow?
Jo, reading this made my eyes water.
Don't use fake eyelashes unless you have to get dressed up for something, I would think it's best to just leave it alone. Probably no one notices anyway...
But all said, I have no idea how long they take to grow back in.
Sorry :-(
gah, that sounds painful!
One of my friends pulls her eyelashes out. it is gross but a nervous habit akin to nail biting. It is really not that noticeable unless you really look (and you're blond right? so it shouldnt be really visible).
I wouldn't put anything on them...sounds irritating...
Matt had trouble noticing until he got really close. I put eyeliner on today, which really helps from noticing that there is nothing there. Being blond probably helps, too. I'm sure it's not really noticeable, I'll just have to wear eyeliner and try to not think about it.
As a side note, a girl in my sorority was an eyelash puller. It's one of the various OCDs. Some people pull out eyebrows, hair on their head, or hair on other parts of their bodies.

agreed on all of this, I had a friend growing up that did this and she had NO eyelashes (p.s. I do this with my eyebrows though I'm mostly broken of it)
Just leave them alone and unless you have a function don't use falsies
It will probably take a few weeks to get some good regrowth
