Lashing Out: Debunking 3 Common Myths About Your Lovely Lashes
Myth 1: Your Lashes Will Grow Back Thicker and Longer After You Cut Them
The Myth: The idea is that if you give your lashes a little trim, they'll grow back thicker and longer, just like the hair on your head.
The Truth: Your lashes have a fixed length and thickness. They grow to a certain length, fall out, and then are replaced by new ones. Cutting them won't make them grow back thicker or longer. In fact, it might just leave you with shorter lashes for a longer time. So, let's leave the trimming to our bangs, shall we?
Myth 2: Mascara Makes Your Lashes Fall Out
The Myth: Our beloved mascara, the magic wand that gives us those dreamy, doe-eyed looks, is the villain behind our falling lashes.
The Truth: Mascara itself doesn't cause your lashes to fall out. However, the way you use it might. If you're rough when applying or removing mascara, or if you're not removing it properly before bed, then yes, you might notice a few extra lashes on your cotton pad. The key is to be gentle and thorough. And remember, even your lashes need a break sometimes, so give them a mascara-free day every now and then.
Myth 3: False Lashes Ruin Your Natural Lashes
The Myth: The worry is that false lashes, or the glue used to apply them, can damage our natural lashes.
The Truth: False lashes, when used correctly, do not ruin your natural lashes. That means not pulling them off without using a proper remover, not sleeping in them, and giving your natural lashes a break between applications. Also, investing in a good quality adhesive and remover can make a world of difference. So, go ahead and flutter those fabulous falsies without fear!
And there you have it, ladies! Three common lash myths, debunked and replaced with the truth. Remember, your lashes are as unique and beautiful as you are. Treat them with care, and they'll continue to frame your eyes in the most beautiful way possible.
