Which of us do not like to have some tabs high impact? However, whether by accident or carelessness, we are not free to cut them or cause them to fall. The good news is that yes they grow and here you will find data that maybe you did not know about them ...

"Apart from the decorative or aesthetic function they have a role protector to prevent any foreign body from entering the eye that is in the environment, such as dust or sand, for example, in addition to protecting the eye by filtering sunlight and preventing eye irritation, "Dr. Angel Romo, from the Department of Oculoplasty at the Hospital Clínico, explains in an interview with Infosalus. San Carlos de Madrid.

The specialist also stresses that if they fall if they come back out . "In fact, every five or six months they are renewed and it takes like seven or eight weeks to grow, although in cases of pathological eyelashes, patients with alterations such as trichiasis, for example, a case in which the eyelash curves inward, towards the eyeball and rubs it irritating it, when we remove them the patient has discomfort for three or four weeks, "he says.

Although it may seem a lie, in the upper eyelid there are 150 and 200 tabs , while in the lower one there are about 80. "They are very finite and there are several rows.The upper eyelid is like a mesh of bushy lashes.There are many, what happens is that many times we think mascara are few, and They are thicker than they really are, "he adds.

It is a normal hair, in fact it has the same structure as the hairs on the head . It is born from a hair follicle and keratin scales are added like any other hair. That yes, it differs so much in the size as in the thickness, and does not usually happen of the 5 or 8 millimeters of size. "The thickness is more variable, although it will always be thinner than that of the hair." The color of the eyelashes depends on the melanin , just like any hair from another location, "explains the ophthalmologist.

Special cares

The doctor of the Clinical Hospital San Carlos of Madrid insists on the exhaustive cleaning of the same ones because if they can not be given diverse diseases related to eyelashes . "After putting on makeup, it is best to clean up and remove mascara, one of the most frequent pathologies that currently exist is blepharitis, which affects the edge of the eyelid and is where lashes are born. They can be cleaned with a little foam from a neutral shampoo, as well as with the stripe of the eye, it is advisable to remove makeup thoroughly so that no residue remains, "explains the specialist.

Although there are different diseases related to eyelashes, the expert mentions the three most frequent: the blepharitis, the aforementioned trichiasis, and the famous sties . "Blepharitis affects the fall of the eyelashes and its origin is found in an inflammation of the eyelid margin, and any curling, such as trichiasis, causes the cornea to rub and irritate the eye, and finally, the styes, caused by infection of the sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes or an infection of the sweat glands, "he adds.

He also a member of the Spanish Society of Ophthalmology (SEO) banishes the myth of cut the lashes when a baby, so that supposedly these come out stronger and curved . "It is part of the cultural heritage but It has no scientific basis , neither biological, nor anything, "he adds.

About the eyelash curlers that many women use to make up and curl their lashes more, Dr. Romo argues that, like any product that can produce a change in eyelash morphology , like the dyes, "it does not favor, but it does not hurt it either". In his opinion, it is "more important" the care of the birth of the hair of the eyelash, than the external hair care of the eyelash. "Any tab that falls will begin to be born another," sentence.
