Has anyone ever trimmed their eyelashes?
How long does it take for them to grow back? I just trimmed mine because they get so long that they turn down and poke me in the eye. I'm just wondering how fast eyelashes grow as I've never really had to think about it before.

I've never trimmed mine before. I'm sure they'll grow back. I'm just curious, what did you trim them with?

um, instead of cutting your eyelashes, why don't you use an eyelash curler and some mascara?
Who the hell cuts their eyelashes (particularly a female)?

I was wondering the same thing? Most girls I know would do crazy things to have beautiful long eyelashes

You should never trim your real eyelashes. When make-up artists refer to trimming eyelashes, they mean the false ones.
Even if your lashes are very long, as kddani said, an eyelash curler and mascara should be sufficient.

Scissors.
I'd rather not have to put on mascara when I'm trying to study or go to sleep! That's when it bothers me most (but it bothers me the rest of the day as well, I'm just busier and don't notice it as much). It's difficult to function because they were very long and curly, but when they get to a certain length, then just turn downward (too heavy maybe?) and interlock with the lower ones. It's something like a Venus Flytrap when I blink. So, almost everytime I blink, I have to reach up and pull them apart. Then, once they are apart, the upper ones that were stuck just hang down into my eye--they are broken and no longer curl upward. My nephew's do the same thing (he has my eyes) and a couple moms in his class said they trim their kids' eyelashes to keep them from doing that, so I thought I'd give it a try. It actually does feel a lot better! You never know how good blinking feels until you can't do it properly. Just wondering how fast do lashes grow as opposed to other hair.

My eyelashes are already naturally curly, it's just those strays that hang down straight and those few are also painful to the touch. I usually end up just pulling them out, but lately there's been too many to keep up with. I only trimmed them down to half length and it does feel a ton better, though it's weird looking at myself. I actually see my eyes! Usually they're heavily "framed," though I'm sure no one else would notice. I probably won't do it again, I just needed some relief from the torture.

I trim my eyelashes a few times a year, when I notice they are annoying me, so I'm guessing it takes a few months for them to grow back to full-length.
