How to Grow Out Eyelashes
Eyelashes are like the rest of the hair on your body: They fall out and grow back. If you've lost your eyelashes because you've rubbed your eyes or pulled on your lashes, the lashes will grow back. But it can take up to eight weeks. There are some ways, though, to grow your lashes faster. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Wash the entire eye area (around the eyes and eyelids) before going to bed every night. Use a mild soap and warm water to remove any makeup, debris, dirt or oil. This will reduce bedtime itching and rubbing and allow your eyelashes to grow out.

2
Protect your eyelashes with petroleum jelly by applying it after bedtime washing. Use a clean mascara brush and gently roll it in petroleum jelly. Use a soft washcloth to remove any excess and apply as you would mascara, being careful to not get it in your eyes. This will protect them from breakage.

Avoid false eyelashes. Although they might seem like a good temporary fix, they will make things worse in the long run. The glue will pull out your real lashes in clumps and inhibit the regrowth of your lashes.

Use a product such as Li Lash to grow strong, thick eyelashes faster. It will help to stimulate the hair follicles.

5
Comb your eyelashes. Eyelash hair follicles are like any other. Combing them will stimulate the oils that help grow strong eyelashes. Use a product such as the Sephora duo eyelash comb at least once a day.
