You have about 150–200 eyelashes per eye. They each have a lifespan of 3–5 months. When they fall out, a new one grows.
But sometimes that new hair pushes against the old follicle. That hurts. It’s like your lashes are throwing a tiny house party and someone forgot the snacks.
So, why do your lashes hurt? Because they’re alive, sensitive, and have opinions. Treat them kindly. Don’t glue them, rip them, or sleep on them. And for crying out loud—change your mascara.
Now blink. Feel that? No pain? Great. You’re welcome.
