Eyelashes:
Eyelashes are of great use to our eyes; they protect our eyes from the dust and dirt from entering into our eyes. Eyelashes are also sensitive to touch; hence, they make the eyelids shut down when some foreign particle comes near the eyes.
In many cultures eyelashes are considered a symbol of feminity and beauty. In those cultures, if you don’t have long lashes, then you are not considered beautiful. However, many options are available today to get those thicker and darker eyelashes.
Falling of eyelashes:
Many time due to some illness or some deficiency in the body many people often suffer from falling of eyelash hair. Some diseases of eyelashes are madarosis, trichiasis and blepharitis.
However, the application of too much eye makeup, eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara can cause irritation to the roots of the eyelashes. Also, vigorous rubbing of eyes and using strong chemicals for makeup removal may also trigger eyelash falling.
Growing eyelashes back:
It is very normal to lose a few strands of lash hairs from time to time, and they usually grow back on their own after a few days. Just like the hair of head the lash hair also grows in cycles, starting with a growth phase and followed by the resting phase, etc. At the end of a resting phase, the eyelashes fall off.
