  • I don't know exactly, but it is normal to lose hairs from all over your body, at different rates. I have been losing eyelashes for as long as I can recall, and I still have plenty of them. I reckon they are like hairs anywhere else on your body, they grow back once they fall out.
  • I always have a few strays that fall out when I take off my eye makeup (especially mascara). I think it's pretty normal.
  • It's normal to lose eyelashes, and i'm sure everyone loses several a day and don't notice it like you do. And yes, they do grow back, just like hair anywhere else on your body
  • I know it's normal to lose eyelashes. What I'm asking is how much is normal. A lot of my friends say they lose like 1 a day and I've been notcing that they look more thinned out then they were before, but it's good to know they grow back. I wasn't sure because they're not exactly like hairs..
  • Tanny, I am having the same exact problem. I am having about 4-6 eyelashes fall out at a time. I notice they are much thinner in general. I have been researching it and people say it could be a thyroid issue. I know that my eyelashes have always fallen out but no this much. I have also heard to put vitamin E oil on the eyelashes at night to help them get mosturized. If you find out any more info please let me know. my email is alysonjodi@aol.com
  • Tanny, I am having the same problem and I know how frustrating it can be. I am losing about 6-10 eyelashes a day! I saw a dermatologist and two opthalmologists who said my eyes looks normal. Hair loss could be due to stress and it wont hurt to get your thyroid tested. If you are using mascara and eyeliner, losing 3-4 eyelashes is normal since you are touching and dealing with the eye area more than you would if you were to wear no makeup. Also you might be allergic to something in your makeup, new laundry detergent or anything like that. Also I heard eyelash loss could be due to demodex mites, but that subject is very controversial. Try using castor oil at night before bed, its supposed to promote hair growth- for more information about it google "castor oil and eyelashes." Oh and eyelashes go grow back, but you wont notice right away, it takes some time. I think I read somewhere that between 1-4 eyelashes fall out everyday, so don't stress about it! Also wash your eyes with something mild like baby shampoo rather than using a harsh face wash.
