Ffs - my eyelashes are gone. My eyelid is bald

Stupidly got lash extensions to save myself time in the morning

Now my eyelids are bald.
What the actual fuck can I do? How quickly will they grow back and can anyone recommend some false strip lashes that are really wide as most I've tried end halfway across my stupidly large eyelid

No recommendations for more messing, but castor oil is brilliant for encouraging growth.

It will probably take a month to get decent growth.

I really would leave well-alone until then though.

DO NOT MEDDLE!!

I wouldn’t put stop lashes on as removing them will undoubtedly damage your poor, vulnerable regrowth further. Just nurture with some gentle oil. Maybe some castor oil (but it stings like a bitch, so be careful.)

PS you probably do not have 'Stupidly large eyelids', I've yet to meet a woman who does...

Vaseline is brilliant for eyelashes and eyebrows.

Why did this happen? Did you pick at them?

3luckystars · 10/04/2022 05:53

What went wrong? I have never had lash extensions so I’m wondering how this could happen.

AlJalilia · 10/04/2022 06:14

@3luckystars it is not normal for this to happen. The OP must have pulled them all out.

Was she qualified to apply eyelash extensions?

Butfirstcoffees · 10/04/2022 06:16

I had lash extensions for 3 years and never had this. Were they badly applied?

Anyway I use this from amazon, yiu our it on morning and night. Its not oily so you can use mascara after it. Its cheap and really works.

If you donr mind spending money chantecaille longest lash faux cils mascara is amazing. You need to give anything you use 6-8 weeks at least.

I picked my Xmas ones off in Jan , they took ages to grow back.
I used Revelash serum, they are good now but took ages.
I wore magnetic strip lashes from Amazon while they grew, dunno how wide they are though.

I had something similar happen to mine, when they came off/grew out they'd take my lashes with them.
I've been using a lash serum, it's brilliant!
It's taken a few months but they are thicker and longer than they've ever been.
