LOL, basically, LEAVE. YOUR. EYELASHES. ALONE.

[@annabela.1673]

Genetic is the make it or break it here, but yes, leaving them alone is the second most important thing.

[@Redh3adElizabeth]

Yeah this doesn't actually do anything to help them grow longer though. I've left my lashes alone through all of covid and they're the same

[@melisa9071]

This shouldn't be titled "how to grow your lashes". More like "how to do nothing with your lashes" lol

[@nataliatc1]

That's because there is no way to make them longer.

[@sanazlol7433]

You can still use mascara but you need to make sure that you’re removing it properly🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TOOGOOD_CRYSTAL]

It dosent grow your lashes longer but it does keep them healthy and safe.

[@wildone1392]

Haha, love this. The length of your eyelashes are determined by your genes, prior to your birth. There is nothing you can DO to GROW them longer, (or thicker, or curlier). Dr Dray is giving advice to avoid damaging what you have got already.

[@brookeshannon653]

actually, i got a lash serum and my eyelashes got noticeably longer and thicker so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sabasiddique73]

latisse, neulash, grande lash serums work.

[@Pinkerellie]

for me, latisse has really worked to grow them out

[@charmaineneshanathan2101]

The trick is to use castor oil + Vaseline! It works like magic! You'll see a huge difference, mine are super long now because of this routine I do it twice a day

[@Evergreenforest33]

Yesss this! Just becareful and do it before bed because it can build up in eye socket and cause blurry vision

[@charmaineneshanathan2101]

@@Evergreenforest33 yes!! I'm extra careful but it really works ! I stopped using mascara and just use Vaseline instead too .

You mix the castor oil with vaseline and put on with a spully thingy?

[@charmaineneshanathan2101]

@@209ainrofilaC I just apply castor oil first, then Vaseline & apply them in an up wards direction. Nope I just use my clean fingers

[@alextaylor3850]

Castor oil has been shown in all studies on its efficacy not to actually grow the hair, it just costs it making it look thicker and longer. It also has moisturising properties which can make hair look “conditioned. Because you’re applying it everyday you think it’s lengthening the lashes but it’s just hydrating them at the most and coating them at the least.

[@BethanySchmidtEsthetics]

I curl mine and wear false lashes. But I care for them at night and use a serum. Makes a ton of difference!

[@lisscat]

They sell eyelash serums??

[@BethanySchmidtEsthetics]

@@lisscat yep

[@kill3008]

so as long as I take care of them well I don't have to worry so much of eyelash fall even if I curl them is that it ?

[@BethanySchmidtEsthetics]

@@kill3008 yes. Use balm to gently remove mascara. Use a GOOD curler and watch videos on how to curl them gently. Just baby them and it’ll be fine! I use a castor oil based serum at night. Keeping them strong helps so much

[@kp-2211]

[@megans1178]

I stopped using eye lash curlers years ago and I don’t loose as many lashes anymore I can say this is true. I also never use waterproof anymore because many of my lashes use to fall out trying to get it off.

[@usernameisunavailable8270]

The problem is waterproof mascaras are the only ones that will keep a curl for short straight lashes. Highly frustrating.

[@megans1178]

@@usernameisunavailable8270 I use to have the same problem because mine were so short but then I started using lash serums. The maybelline one at the drugstore is great.

[@n0426]

Have you tried cleaning with oil? You don’t use waterproof mascara or eyeliner? Isn’t it better to use a waterproof eyeliner so it won’t smudge? Most mascara is waterproof. Do you recommend a using a clear one?

[@Harlow_Khmer]

​@@n0426I use waterproof mascara and eyeliner and my lashes are naturally long and straight since I'm mixed Asian. I need to curl them and use waterproof mascara in order for the curl to hold all day. People think my lashes are fake when I wear mascara. I'm super careful when removing the eye makeup and use an oil balm type of cleanser first. Been doing this since middle school and I'm 37 now

[@honeyb5632]

Any ideas on how you get curled lashes? Mine are stick straight!

[@BethanySchmidtEsthetics]

Get a lash lift. It’s basically a perm for your lashes. You can look up before and after pics

[@vibhatripathi3503]

Hey, This is coming from personal trial and triumph.. I use either of vaseline/caster oil every night. I apply them like a mascara.. it has certainly helped my lashes look ALOT curled…

[@Fernanda-kh9up]

@@BethanySchmidtEsthetics yea but lash lifts weaken your lashes..

[@BethanySchmidtEsthetics]

@@Fernanda-kh9up Just like when you process your hair, you deep condition after. There are ways to mitigate damage. If take care of them, it’s totally fine. I’ve been an esthetician for 24 yrs and I’ve never seen it “damage” them to the point it made them weak or fall out. It’s less damage than curling them everyday.

[@heysfb]

I think some peoples lashes just naturally grow a bit longer/thicker. Mine have always been short, light and sparse and I only sometimes wear mascara and never do the other stuff. Meanwhile some people look like they’re wearing makeup and it’s natural.

[@isabelab6851]

I don’t do any of those things…and they are still sparse. Never quite fully recovered after chemo. It has been 6 years so it is the new normal. In search of the great mascara! That does not run, smudge or flake, lasts all day and nourishes.

[@erikar6041]

Honestly give the new Wayne Goss mascara a try. While it is waterproof, I find it comes off very easily with balm, or oil remover. It’s beautiful!

[@morenomusic4405]

First of all, congrats on beating your cancer! 🥳 Second, I would recommend trying the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. I’ve trying so many mascaras as they always smudge, but this one doesn’t. It’s also very easy to remove with just soap and water because of the tubing formula. Hope this helps!!

[@ematolic4463]

I was naturally born with long and super thick eyelashes, so i never put mascara on. One day i wanted to try, and my lashes were to long (at least for me) and they felt really dry. I remember some of my friends used mascara when they were 11 I think, and now they're lashes are super dry and just... no. So from my experience, and my friends experience, just don't wear mascara, or only wear it like 2 days a week if you don't want your lashes to dry up

Indeed thyroid problems are bad for lashes! I had a partial thyroidectomy 10 years ago...my lashes are very short and sparse. Now that I am 64, my lashes are turning gray! A girl just can't win!! 🥴🤷‍♀️

[@ane0227]

I have short thin blonde lashes and i have invested in a good lash and brow serum and it does wonders! 🤗🤌 they don’t fall out at all and have grown twice the length and are much fuller. I always remove mascara at night with cleansing balm then apply serum. During the day i do use a lash primer and curl them but i waited about 2 months to start curling after starting the serum when they were much stronger and fuller. Just FYI cuz i was skeptical of growth serums. Some of them really do work. Also castor oil is a natural hair stimulate that can be used on eyelash eyebrow and scalp to promote quicker and healthier growth.

[@annabelleeckert7023]

what serum do you use?

[@jennypie1903]

I have used a lash curler since I started wearing makeup at 15ish. I'm 50. I have stopped use a lash curler since watching this video and I'm AMAZED how beautiful my lashes look. I have no need for latisse now. ❤❤❤ THANK YOU!!!!

[@MsZoyastar1]

I'm a skeptic, but I gave pure castor oil a try to grow my barely visible lashes and I can safely say, its worked wonders! I know dr dray said in a video that castor oil probably doesnt work but it really helped me. I must say though we're a family with quick hair growth so that could be it but I've never visibly seen them grow this long before!

[@olivegardenpuppy]

The Vie Beauty lash serum is good for growing lashes. I get mine on Amazon.

[@locsluv9013]

You covered what not to do, but what do you do?

[@Redh3adElizabeth]

Dr Dray is very anti lash serum. In medicine, the philosophy is "do no harm," so they're gonna be conservative in their recommendations. To her, the benefits of a lash serum don't outweigh the cons, but for a lot of girls they're willing to take the chance on irritation. So basically she's only going to ever tell us to leave them alone as if that'll magically grow our lashes (I went like a year without makeup during covid and it didn't grow my lashes one bit). Prescription Latisse works, but you have to look into side effects to see if it's worth it to you

[@n0426]

I can see how the curler can destroy your eyelashes with long term use. Even though I don’t put makeup very often it does make them fallout as it hurts the roots. Do you recommend we never use it? What about the makeup sponge? Is it bad too ? Or it’s okay as long as we wash it and keep it inside a box?
