How does eyelash growth work?

The life cycle of eyelashes reveals a crucial aspect for us. Did you know that eyelashes can grow up to a maximum of about 10 mm, and this can happen in a period of 4 to 8 weeks? Additionally, you can have around 300 eyelashes on your upper eyelid. Fascinating, isn’t it?

That’s why it’s interesting to know their life cycle and how each phase develops.

I should inform you that the growth time of our eyelashes depends on several factors, such as diet, age, genetics, hormonal state, stress and anxiety levels, and the care we provide them.

Like all body hair, eyelash growth occurs cyclically and has 3 main phases, which I’ll explain below:

Anagen phase or growth phase
This phase is very important as it determines the health, length, and strength of the lashes. During this phase, the eyelashes grow as much as they can and it lasts for 4 to 8 weeks. Normally, eyelashes have a growth rate of 0.15 millimeters per day.

Catagen phase or transition phase
In this phase, the eyelashes stop growing but do not fall out, and they can be seen in all their splendor. During this stage, if an eyelash is pulled out, it will especially affect the hair follicle as it interrupts the cycle, and it will take much longer to grow back.

Telogen phase or resting phase
This is the final stage of the eyelash life cycle, where the hair prepares to shed and fall out, giving way to a new growth cycle. This stage is the longest and can last up to 3 months. Just like with body hair, facial hair, and scalp hair, eyelashes are not all in the same stage of the cycle at the same time, which is why they do not fall out or grow all at once.

We have found, through feedback from our users, that it is very important to care for and strengthen the eyelashes to have strong, healthy, and super long lashes that make us look beautiful.

Now that you know the life cycle of your eyelashes, every time you look at them, you’ll understand a little more about their growth.
