How many months does it take for a baby's eyelashes to take shape?

When a baby is just born, the hair on its body has not yet fully grown. From the perspective of parents, they all hope that the baby's eyelashes can be black and thick. In order to make their children's eyelashes longer, some parents even cut their children's eyelashes and let them start growing again. This practice seems to make sense, but in fact it has no scientific basis. So, at how many months does it take for a baby's eyelashes to take shape? Let's take a closer look below.

A baby's eyelashes usually take shape after growing for about 3-4 months. After the lanugo falls off, the new eyelashes that grow out are the baby's own. The average lifespan of eyelashes is only 3-5 months, they will fall out and grow again; but the length is related to genetics and personal constitution, so a baby's eyelashes usually grow long to around 4 months old, and will be about this length thereafter.

Eyelashes have the shortest lifespan among all hairs, with an average lifespan of 3-5 months. They are constantly renewed, and a developing eyelash can grow 1-2mm a week after it is plucked, and it will reach its original length after about 10 weeks.

Well, moms, you don’t need to cut your baby’s eyelashes anymore. In fact, eyelashes have a certain protective effect on our cornea and eyeball, and pulling them out will not promote their growth. From today's article, we can see that our baby's eyelashes are basically fixed when they grow to 3-4. In daily life, we should pay attention to the nutrition supply of children, which will also promote the growth of eyelashes!
