While not all girls have short eyelashes, if someone does, it's generally due to a combination of genetics, age, and potentially rough treatment.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Genetics: Just like hair color and height, eyelash length is largely determined by your genes. Some people are simply predisposed to having shorter lashes.
-
Age: As we age, our hair follicles can shrink, resulting in thinner and shorter hairs, including eyelashes. This is a natural part of the aging process.
-
Rough Treatment: Excessive rubbing of the eyes, aggressive makeup removal, or frequent use of eyelash curlers can damage the eyelashes and cause them to break or fall out, leading to shorter-looking lashes.
It's important to note that eyelash length varies widely among individuals, and what one person considers "short" may be perfectly normal for another. If you're concerned about the length of your eyelashes, consult a dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
