I bought an eyelash curl device from walmart and it worked for a month but today after i used it, I noticed something different in my face, i looked close and discovered my eyelashes were cut off by half.. I am panicking now..I feel devastated. I know it is not the end of the world and hope i get it over by tomorrow but today i feel i want to cry.

What can I do next?

They'll grow back. A friend of mine's son pulled all of his out due to anxiety and they eventually grew back.

Yes, they do. I lost all of my left eyelashes after a motorcycle accident in high school (giant hematoma on my eye socket). It's slow but they do grow back.

You can always use Latisse to accelerate the process.

Well if they didn't how do you think the ones that fall out grow back?

Yes, they do. Here's two stories. 1 - a lady I worked with was curling her eyelashes when a bee flew in her window. In a panic she jerked her hand and pulled out every single lash on one eye! (hurt her, but a funny story). 2 - a girl over summer break in high school had a bbq explode in her face and all her facial hair (brows and lashes) were singed off. She looked kinda funky for a while, but they grew back.

So, yes, they do, so don't fret too much. :)

Yes, they do. My daughter, during her self administered haircut phase, decided to trim her eyelashes on one side. After recovering from the horrifying realization of how close the scissors were to her eye, I was kind of freaked out about the idea that they wouldn't grow back. But they did, and they are as long, full, and beautiful as ever.

Awwww..I am sorry this happened.

Yes they do but it takes quite a while.

Brighten up your lipstick, wear some eye liner and wait patiently ;)

Honey. Really, now. Panicking? Devastated? They're eyelashes, not a limb. They'll grow back. You don't have to do anything or put anything on them. Your hair also grows back if you cut it.

It'll take awhile but they'll grow back.
Toss out the eyelash curler and just leave them alone for a few months.

How did an eyelash curler cut your eyelashes? Yes, they will grow back. However, you might need to wait for each lash to fall out and regrow, because lashes have a short growth span.

I lost a few lower lashes from a chicken pox scar and they never grew back, but you have lots of examples here where lashes did grow back. I think the scarring kept mine away. Have hope!

Eyelashes fall out all the time and regrow.

What concerns me more is how you're using the eyelash curler to the extent that it is cutting your eyelashes in half.

My eyelash curler won't do more than gently bend the eyelashes, I use it after applying mascara.

I would assume they grow but I have no idea if that is truthful or not.

I have never used a curling device for lashes and never would.

I use a primer before I use mascara (both Clinique) and my lashes look great.

You might want to ask a Dr. but like I said, I assume they would grow like your regular brows, etc grow.

Try not to be so upset, I know I would be upset as well. In the long run, things could be worse, they could have fallen out altogether!

My roommate did that in college. The pad on her curler fell off and she didn't realize it. ::SNIP:: Anyway, they grew back. I don't remember how long it took, though.

Your eyelashes keep growing, yes. They fall out after a certain point and a new lash grows in.

Don't panic. Probably no one else will notice anything odd unless you typically wear a lot of dramatic eye makeup.

If your eyelash curler is a typical metal variety, my guess is that the pad fell out, turning them into dull scissors. If you use an fancy electric type, then the heat may have damaged your lashes mid-point and they broke off.

I only used one of those curlers once, for same reason! Mine grew back fine :) There are good versions of those and not so great - I did find a much gentler device with a pad that worked well (and no cut/lost lashes!)

answers from San Antonio on

They do. Some of my bottom lashes on both eyes curl up instead of down naturally. Because they are shorter in general, an eyelash curler doesn't work, so I have to pluck them. I wish they didn't grow back, but they always do.

I once heard that they don;t but they must. A friend of mine lost all of hers due to chemo and they are growing back. Not as full as before but they're there. Another woman I know lost half of hers when they first came out with a heated lash curler. they apparenlty burned off.

The lashes you are born with slowly fall out and as you get older they are sparser so they do not all grow. I would avoid using anything on your lashes for a little while so they can grow.

Use a Q Tip dipped lightly in Castor Oil and apply it just above your lashes and they will grow back. I have tried it, it also helps cool my eyes
