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...

Like Karina I generally apply eye liner and no one notices until I say something. There is a permanent make-up application you can get like tattooing your brows only it needs to be redone every so often but it's always there. Maybe that would help you feel more comfortable. To Roger - it's important for anyone to have eyebrows and eye lashes because they keep out sweat and dirt. Not having them bothers most men just as much as it does women and men have also been known to get tattoos and certain permanent make-up applications to make up for their lack thereof.

Hey Gina.

I got ONE eyebrow now and some eyelashes....so so crazy :p...but I know its "important" for a woman/girl to have it.

Take care, Roger.

Hi Gina,
I really know what you're going through with the eyelashes....I don't mind that much about being bald & I also have tattoed eyebrows but the one thing I want back is my eyelashes! No one can tell you if they're going to come back or not, alopecia has a mind of its own. I lost mine a year with no sign of regrowth at all :( And yeah, fake eyelashes really don't cut it, do they? I wear mine for special occasions too but they're just not the same and also not that comfortable. I usually just use eyeliner to give the illusion of a lash line. I've found that people really don't notice I don't have eyelashes unless I tell them. While I would dearly love them back, it really is possible to live a 'normal' live without them!
