Eyelashes & eyebrows
My six year old daugher cut her long,pretty eyelashes very short with a pair of scissors and one of her eyebrows. Thankfully, she did not hurt herself in the process, but will her eyelashes grow and how long will it take; is there anything we can do to help or enhance the process. Her eyebrow is already starting to grow back, but her eyelashes are horrible. When you lose an eyelash, does another grow back? Thank you.
Kelly, Don't worry. The lashes and brows will regrow. While the brows/lashes do not grow as fast as scalp hair, they will eventually return to normal within a few weeks to months. I would not recommend anything (like medications) to help the regrowth--just the 'tincture of time.' Good luck!
