I guess I'm having a reaaaally bad week, I'm missing my eyelashes more than ever. I got a new full lace wig (I call it my hair by the way, hate the word wig) recently and I love it , so i don"t really care about being bald. Got my eyebrows tattoed and I like them so that is OK. But my eyelashes can't be replaced...I don't wear the fake ones unless going to a party or something like that but even when I do, it's just not the same ...Lost my eyelashes 6 months ago and I wonder if they will ever grow back. I really need them...

Well I can understand how sad a girl feels when she losses her natural eyelashes. I think you all can grow them again. I always try to visit rushessay.com source to get my essay done online. The best remedies are offered on YouTube and within days you will get health eyelashes.

Hi Gina,

I know how you feel. I had my eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed in June, and I've actually been very happy with it. I like not having to wake up looking "blank", or worry about the makeup coming off when I swim or hike. I tried to put on false eyelashes and couldn't get them on! Most people don't notice until I say something. The permanent makeup is all I have on in this photo.

If you live anywhere near San Diego or Irvine, please come to the Bald Girls Do Lunch events on Jan 3 and 4. I'll be at the San Diego one on Jan 3. I just posted some info about these on the California group page. Let me know if you have any questions. Attending a BGDL event last January was a major help to me.

Best,
Mary

found this article about something that is supposed to grow eyelashes:
Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, has been reported to stimulate eyelash growth in patients using it in eye preparations for glaucoma and body and scalp hair growth when used topically in various animal models. Will prostaglandin analogs be the next agents used for forms of alopecia?
here is one of the articles: http://archopht.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/118/5/718

I know what you mean...I hate having to wear liner everywhere I go....I dont want to wear eyeliner to the gym...but if I don't, I look like an alien ; ( I hope they come back for you!!

I am getting my eyelashes done. Yes, like some people I apply liner because it is the one crazy thing that stands out with out the liner. Hey, mine have been gone for 10 years so at this point I am tired of holding out and will just get the permanent makeup.

I recently lost my eyelashes too. I wear eyeliner and thought that looked ok till I saw myself in a photo. I don't even see the eyeliner. I need to put it on more heavily I think. I also have only one eyebrow - Pain in the butt to try and draw one to match! I tried the shots to keep my eyebrows when they started falling out and ended up with deep indentations above my brows. It took 6 months for those to go away. I won't get the shots again...

HHAAA haa I was walking around with one eye brow for as long as I could stand until I finally went in and got a steroid shot to get the left one back. IT WORKED!! I actually had to go back one more time to get the other one thickened up to match! Soo 2 shots and I've had them both for 6 months now. I really hope they stay. It's at least easy for a guy to shave his head these days and be OK. I have to shave my stupid head about every 2 hours though because the few patches of hair I have grow like weeds. Pain in the butt to walk around all day with an electric in your pocket looking for a chance to "clean it up". ANyway I know how you feel about the eyelashes. I have 1 and 2/3 at the moment. Keep up the faith!

I feel you with the eyelashes -- I used to have long, thick eyelashes that made my eyes stand out way more than they already do. I just recently lost my eyelashes and I kid you not, my eyes have been itching, stinging, and burning ever since then because every little speck of dust, mold, and anything else that happens to float on the wind gets into my eyes. Honestly, I wear glasses, and because I'm near-sighted my lenses magnify my eyes even more than they need to be -- but nobody in 26 years has ever noticed that I don't have any eyelashes when they fall out, so in that sense, it's easy to be normal when nobody notices that it's gone.
