Eyelashes typically take between 6 weeks and 3 months to grow back fully, depending on factors such as the cause of eyelash loss and the health of the hair follicles and eyelids
. The average eyelash growth cycle includes three phases:
- Anagen (growth) phase: lasts about 4 to 10 weeks, during which eyelashes grow at a rate of approximately 0.12 to 0.14 mm per day
- Catagen (transition) phase: lasts 2 to 3 weeks, when growth stops and the follicle shrinks
- Telogen (resting) phase: the shedding phase, lasting several weeks, after which new eyelashes begin to grow
If eyelashes are lost due to natural shedding or minor damage, regrowth is usually faster, around 6 weeks. However, if eyelashes are pulled out or damaged severely (e.g., from eyelash extensions, burns, or medical conditions like alopecia), regrowth can take longer, sometimes several months or more
. To support faster eyelash regrowth, some use growth serums or vitamin supplements such as biotin, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, though results vary and medical consultation is advised before use
. In summary, expect eyelash regrowth to take about 1 to 3 months under typical conditions, with variations depending on individual health and the cause of lash loss
