Can your eyelashes grow back?
Yes, eyelashes have a natural growth cycle and can grow back after falling out or being damaged. This process takes an average of six to eight weeks. However, it is important to give your lashes the proper care so that they come back stronger and healthier. Avoid using heavy makeup products and invest in a nourishing eyelash serum to support the growth process.
Tip: If you want to find out ASAP if your hairs are permanently damaged it is best to use a powerful eyelash serum such as the Ecuri superlash. An eyelash serum will namely activate a hair root, this allows you to find out ASAP whether your hair root is still intact enough to produce a healthy eyelash hair.
