Why don't your eyelashes grow as long as hair on your head?

All hair on the body, including individual hairs on the head, grow for a while & then rest for a while. The length of time this takes is called the refractory period. The refractory period for eyelashes is much shorter than for head hair, so the eyelashes will fall out sooner & also start growing back sooner than a head hair will. \n\n;-)\n\nWikipedia has a very informative article on hair follicles:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle

There are mites that 95% of people have living in their eyelash follicles.  I think this is what peternal is talking about.  They don't actually cause dandruff, though.  Dandruff on your eyelashes is likely coming from your eyebrows.  It falls from the eyebrow and settles on your eyelashes.  The skin around your eyelashes can also flake, causing something that looks like dandruff.  If this is a problem for you, visit your eye doctor.  He/she can prescribe a care regimen that will help you keep it under control.

now you know why, when someone come up with a goofy idea about doing something stupid, that is called a "hair brain idea"....LOL..........NO it is NOT  possible  for the hair on your head to grow into your brain......

the hair in your nose block dust particles and pathogens from entering into the nasal cavity. they work along with mucous in trapping these particles so they cant cause infections or irritation.\nkind of like eye lashes help keep stuff out of your eyes

The hair follicles are different on each part of your body.  All areas grow at different rates.  And it does keep growing on your arms, just very slowly.  \n\nTry shaving your arms or waxing them.  You'll find that the hair comes back, but to that same length.  So it is growing.

everyone develops differently, just give it time. I did not have hair until I was almost two, and 25 years later I have the fullest hair that I know of. It's all good, just be patient

if you use waterproof mascara it can cause your eye lashes to fall out-- be careful of that- it happened to me once, but they did shortly grow back in

it doesn't make them harrier, it just makes it appear like it is, because when your hair grows back, they all grow back at the same time/length.

Eyelashes keep dust and other particles out of your eyes.

Actually, BOTH stop growing.\n\nOnce a hair has been growing for  a certain period of time, that hair falls out, and a new hair begans growing from the follicle.\n\nThe differience is that that time period is much shorter for the hairs on your arms than on the hairs on your scalp.\n\nA possible explanation is that are brain is one of the most sensitive and important parts of the body, and requires more protection from the weather, but really it's just how we turned out.\n\nMaybe it's just that we prefer people who aren't going bald, but don't look like an ape either. Those people have a higher chance of producing offspring, etc.

Trichotillomania.  I am not kidding.  It's an impulse control disorder, it is stress related. I have it too, if you're looking for commiseration.  I started when I was seven and have learned to deal with it.  No, I haven't stopped.  I pluck my eyelashes and eyebrows, and when I was seven I plucked the hair on my head 'till I had a bald spot.  My parents did not seek treatment for me and for years I was convinced I was a very bad kid and I could stop if I really wanted to stop - I eventually learned to just deal with it and am perfectly happy - in fact, engaged.  If you're suffering from trich, search for the trichotillomania website, you'll learn more about it and can join a support group.  Also - if you eat the hair you've plucked, it's called trichophagy, and it can lead to some serious medical problems.  I'm glad I don't do that.

Check you haven't bent a pin on the video connection. That's the usual cause.\n\nIf you have, get a female to use tweezers (they're used to plucking single eyelashes etc and are more patient!)

Eyelashes? Do you mean eyebrows? Hopefully, you mean eyebrows...it takes mine about 5 days to grow back, so I pluck them every morning as part of my "getting ready routine". That's why waxing is so fantastic - they stay perfect for a long time.

well simply because if you have long hair\n\nit falls in front of your eyes\n\nand thats not much of a help if youre trying to shoot someone or defend yourself and you cant do anything accurately unless you move your hair out of your eyes

you lose 100 hairs a day.  usually, they are not noticed but with longer hair it shows up easier.  try getting a trim to remove split ends.  this will help prevent breakage.\n\np.s.  the more hair you lose, the head you get!

Axillary hair is designed to act as a buffer between the arms and skin, it protects the are from chafing. Since humans are not as active and wear clothing, it is not as necessary.\n\nPubic hair serves the same function as eye lashes and brows, it protects the bodily orifices from foreign objects, like lashes protect eyes. again, with clothing, the needs is not so great.
