In general, eyelashes that have been pulled out will grow back, but they don't necessarily become longer. Here's the detailed explanation:
Natural Growth Cycle: Eyelashes, like other hairs on the human body, have a natural growth cycle that consists of anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). When an eyelash is pulled out, as long as the hair follicle is not damaged, the eyelash will usually enter the anagen phase again and start to grow back. The new eyelash that grows is likely to be similar in length to the original one, reaching its normal, genetically determined length.
Factors Affecting Growth: If the eyelash follicle is damaged by being pulled out, it may affect the growth of the eyelash, resulting in slower growth, thinner lashes, or even preventing the eyelash from growing back completely. In addition, factors such as age, overall health, nutrition, and hormonal levels also play a role in eyelash growth. For example, a deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals, such as biotin and vitamin E, may affect the health and growth of eyelashes.
Myth of Longer Growth: The idea that pulled-out eyelashes grow back longer may come from the fact that newly grown eyelashes may seem thicker and longer compared to old, worn-out lashes. This is because new lashes are in a more pristine condition. However, this doesn't mean that the act of pulling out the lashes is the cause of their increased length.
