There has been a myth that trimming your eyelashes makes them grow longer. Now if you’re a male reading this, we doubt you would even want longer eyelashes, but this is something many females desire, hence the popularity of fake eyelashes.

Trimming your eyelashes have no effect on how they will grow. If your eyelashes don’t grow as well as they should, this could either be down to genetics or the fact that you’re not receiving any nutrients.

There’s probably more risk involved in cutting your eyelashes than there is benefit. Obviously, using scissors a few centimetres away from the eye isn’t exactly the safest idea. You also have the fact, that the cut may not be even. Something you can’t fix quickly, as eyelashes take approximately 6 weeks to grow back to standard length.
