Answer 1

Doesn't all hair on the body grow back?

I would assume so, but really ask your doctor if you want to make absolute sure.

Answer 2

Unless you burned the skin where your lashes come out, then they will grow back... it just might take a while.  

Answer 3

yes your eyelashes will grow bak and to normel length but the negative thing is it will take prolly about 4 months to grow back but maybe sooner it just depends

Answer 4

my brother cut them all off

he has autism

they grew back =]

good as new!

Answer 5

probably they will grow back but not the same  

Answer 6

I'm not sure about if they were burnt off, but eye lashes do grow back. I used to pluck my eye lashes when I got nervous or bored and when I stopped the did grow back, although it did take a while. (Several months, I think.)

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yes, they will grow back. My friend lost all of hers during chemo and they all grew back, just fine. Just like her previous lashes.

Answer 9

You will grow your eye lashes back. They will grow back the same length. It will take about a month. I shaved half my eye brows once to be  a Romulan for Halloween. They grew back.

Answer 10

If you actually pluck your eyelashes, by pulling the hair from the skin, rather than trimming the hair, then the time that the eyelash would be back to normal size, is approximetly 90 days.

Answer 11

no. i dont think eyelashes grow back and if they do  they wont b da same length.. sry for the bad news

Answer 12

eyelashes take about seven to eight weeks to grow back if pulled out. If your eyelids have been burnt, then this will mean your skin will have to shake off the dead skin cells before it starts to grow eyelashes, in other words : burnt skin takes longer but severe burns mean no eyelashes for a LOOONG time, possibly never.

       Ten weeks TOPS is the time it would take for your eyelashes to grow back to their FULL lenth, AVERAGE time is 7-8 weeks and it rarely exceeds that limit.

Answer 13

I used to have this problem called, trichotillomania, i know that's spelled wrong. But anyways, it made me want to pluck out my eyelashes, like a bad habit. I'm all good now and so are my eyelashes. They are as good as new. If you think about it you've lost a ton of eyelashes in your life and if they never grew back then you would be able to tell right?? Ok so hope this helps!

Answer 14

yes they will grow back, but try no to wear makeup on it. and be gentle with them!
