The Causes of Eyelash Loss
Just like the hair on your head can sustain damage or fall out for a number of
reasons (hello, extra hot styling tools and harsh chemical dyes), a variety of
factors can cause your eyelashes to jump ship too. Here are a few:



Burns: Flames or too-hot eyelash curlers can singe lashes, but so can errant
sparks from cigarettes smoke.
Pulling: Some people have a psychological condition known as
trichotillomania, which is characterized by the impulse to pull out hair
anywhere on the body — commonly this includes the lashes.
Lash extensions: Since mile-long lashes are such a trend, many people turn to
extensions to fake greater length. But the fibers, which are glued onto the
natural lash line, can rip out or damage the real hair underneath.
Cutting: It may not be a typical beauty trend, but unsurprisingly, taking scissors
to your lashes will, well, shorten them.
Thyroid conditions: Your thyroid produces three hormones that help regulate
everything from your metabolism to your mood and more. The thyroid gland
produces two hormones, T3 and T4, known collectively as “thyroid hormone.”
The pituitary gland produces a different chemical messenger called thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH) that — you guessed it — stimulates the production
of thyroid hormone. If for any reason the thyroid produces too much thyroid
hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism), you can experience a
variety of symptoms, including hair loss, both on your head and your face.
Alopecia areata: This autoimmune condition can cause your body’s own
immune system to attack the hair follicles, leading to hair loss on the scalp,
brows, and lashes.
Chemotherapy: Not all of the medications used to treat cancer cause hair loss,
but some can have this effect on the scalp, face, and body.
Do Lashes Grow Back?
The short answer is: yes! Eyelashes can and do typically grow back following most of
the loss causes mentioned above. But of course, there are caveats and exceptions.
As long as there’s no trauma or lasting damage to the eyelid itself or the hair follicles,
lashes should grow back, although it can take anywhere from 2 to16 weeks. In the
case of chemotherapy, lashes usually start to grow back once the medications are
complete, but the size, color, and structure may be different once they’re back (i.e.
they could be thinner, darker, shorter, etc.). When it comes to alopecia areata, there
is no cure, but there are medications that reduce the symptoms and help regrow
hair.
The Growth Process
While it’s true that eyelashes do grow back, patience is definitely a virtue when it
comes to the regrowth process since it can take up to 16 weeks. Just like the hair on
your scalp, eyelashes grow in a three-phase cycle:



Anagen Phase: This is when the hair is growing out of the new follicles. This
phase usually lasts about 45 days for eyelashes — nearly half of your lashes
are in this phase at all points.
Catagen Phase: During this phase, growth stops and the follicles begin to
shrink. If a lash falls out during this period, it won’t grow back until the catagen
phase is complete (usually within two to three weeks).
Telogen Phase: This is the phase that occurs once the follicle has been
established, so once an eyelash falls out, a new lash will grow in its place.
Eyelashes hang out in this phase until they fall out.
