Eyelashes grow at a rate of approximately 0.12 to 0.14 millimeters per day during their active growth phase, known as the anagen phase, which lasts about 30 to 45 days (4 to 6 weeks)
. After this phase, eyelashes enter the catagen phase (2-3 weeks), where growth stops, followed by the telogen phase (resting and shedding), which can last 3 to 4 months
. Typically, it takes about 6 weeks for eyelashes to grow back fully if the hair follicle is undamaged
. However, the total eyelash growth cycle, including all phases, spans roughly 2 to 3 months or longer depending on individual factors such as genetics, age, nutrition, and health conditions
. In summary:
- Growth rate: 0.12 to 0.14 mm per day during active growth
- Anagen (growth) phase: 30-45 days
- Catagen (transition) phase: 2-3 weeks
- Telogen (resting/shedding) phase: 3-4 months
- Typical regrowth time: About 6 weeks to 3 months if follicles are healthy
Factors like pulling out eyelashes, damage to follicles, or health issues can delay regrowth
. Using eyelash growth serums and maintaining good nutrition may help speed up the process
