Cutting my sons' eyelashes so that they grow back longer
This is something that a lot of Korean mothers do or have been told to do: if you cut your child's eyelashes,
they will grow back a lot longer.
Of course, you have to cut just the very end of the eyelashes and only during nap time so that it's safe for your child. My mom attempted this when I was about 3 years old but she cut my eyelashes way too short and they never grew back. I have never gone out without an eyelash curler since the age of 15.
Apparently, this has been proven to be true for a lot
of children. I really want Sean and Will to have long eyelashes, so I think I'm going to give it a try.
What do you think?
(P.S. -- Happy April Fool's Day!)

I am interested in your opinions on eyelash curlers you have used, which ones you did not like and the ones you recommend :)
Sincerely,
Pam

I just could have died she had the most beautiful long curled lashes I don't know what made her do this I could see cutting her hair cause girls do that but her lashes and no one saw her do it just the thought bothers me I'm praying that they grow back

ichina said...Hello stranger,
I know a girl whose dad started cutting her lashes, but changed his mind in the process, and now, as an adult, that little bit grows thicker and longer. So I´d say it does work!
I think it´s a very good idea to trim them (evenly, of course :) ) when they are young. Not only because more eyelashes are always more flattering, but also because they protect the eye better from sunshine, and that is no joke. It sounds like a perfectly sensible idea (as long as it´s done carefully).
You have to tell us after a while how it worked!
Regards.
