Can baby eyelashes be cut?

Many treasure mothers want their children's eyelashes to be long and dense, especially girls, whose eyes are as beautiful as Barbie dolls. But can newborn eyelashes be cut?

When Ms. Zhang's daughter was more than 6 months old, one day when the child was asleep, the eyelashes of the baby's right eye were all cut off by the roots! The baby was awakened, so the left eye survived. The baby may feel uncomfortable when he wakes up and blinks, so it is useless to rub his eyes with his hands. Seeing the child's eyes getting redder and redder, he quickly sent the child to the hospital. I was scolded by the doctor and prescribed eye drops to prevent eye inflammation. The baby has been rubbing his eyes for at least a month or two, which also causes the child to get used to rubbing his eyes. Finally, the cut eyelashes slowly grow out after two or three months, but there is no obvious difference between the two eyelashes.

Eyelashes are the protective barrier of eyes: human eyelashes are not made for beauty. They form a thousand protective barriers for the eyelashes of the upper and lower eyelids, which play a role in shielding dust and excessive light, and are of great significance to the protection of eyes. If the eyes temporarily lose this natural protective effect after the eyelashes are artificially cut off and before the new eyelashes grow, it will be fragile. If people squint in dusty weather, eyelashes can block the dust and people can see everything clearly. People without eyelashes can only close their eyes at this time to avoid being dazzled by the wind and sand, but they can't see anything. Human eyelashes are arranged in 2-3 rows. The upper eyelid has 100- 150 eyelashes, each of which is 8- 10 mm long, and the lower eyelid has 50-75 eyelashes, each of which is 6-8 mm long. The life span of human eyelashes is 3-5 months, and they constantly fall off and grow new ones.

In fact, the beauty of eyelashes is mainly related to genetic factors and nutritional status, and it is useless to cut eyelashes. Each eyelash has its own life cycle, that is, the growth period of 6 months, followed by the dormancy period. The separation of eyelashes from hair roots is conducive to the formation of new eyelashes in hair follicles. Even if you do cut your eyelashes, they will grow as long as before. Some treasure moms have the illusion that eyelashes will grow thicker and longer than before, because when the baby is very young, eyelashes are still in a vigorous growth period. Even if you don't trim it, you will naturally grow longer and thicker.

After cutting off the child's eyelashes, the thick, short and hard new eyelashes that have just grown are easy to stimulate the eyeball, conjunctiva and cornea, which will cause abnormal symptoms such as fear of light, tears and eyelid spasm. In severe cases, eye infections will occur. In the process of cutting eyelashes, if the child's eyelids blink or his head swings, it may cause trauma and bring undue pain to the child.

If you want to lengthen your eyelashes and wait for your baby to grow up, you can try the following methods:

1, castor oil or olive oil: rubbing with castor oil or olive oil at night can promote eyelash growth and thickening. This is an ancient method, which is slow to take effect, but it is true. In addition, adding lemon peel fragments into small oil bottles and rubbing them daily can make eyelashes more beautiful.

2, liquid protein: liquid protein is a supplementary food, applied every night, can enhance the strength and length of eyelashes.

3. Vaseline: Vaseline is used every night and morning to help prevent or correct broken eyelashes.

4, vitamin D: cut a vitamin D capsule every night and pat it on the eyelids and eyelashes for 3 months, which can produce obvious results.

You can also eat more foods that are conducive to eyelash growth and black brightness: black sesame, black beans, Polygonum multiflorum, sunflower seeds, tofu, laver, fruits, vegetables and so on.

Ma Bao can't cut the baby's eyelashes for the sake of beauty, which will cause unnecessary harm to the baby. May all babies in the world have long eyelashes!
