Beauty blogger Cass Isel Lopez has posted a video to Instagram claiming she trims her eyelashes to help them grow longer. And it’s divided the internet.
She captioned the video: “My eyelash routine. YES I cut my eyelashes so that they grow longer (think of it as cutting the ends of your dead hair, keeps it healthy). It works for me. If you don’t like spidery looking lashes then oh whale [sic] this is how I do MY lashes and I love it. Remember I’m not telling you to go cut your lashes off this is simply what works for me, everyone is different.”

The cutting of hair only sort of stimulates it to grow back, as hair grows to a specific length and then
stops, so whatever length is cut off the hair shaft, it’s going to grow
back until it reaches the length it’s programmed to grow for that zone of our body :),
but when we shave we notice all new hair growing back at once from
scratch. The thinnest part of the new hair will be the thickest or our
old one everytime we shave and when hair reaches it’s original length it
seems thicker just for the lack of its formerly thin component. The hair shaft doesn't realize anything it's only the hair follicle which sense in parts what happens and heightens our touch feelings a bit :).
Just doing it for a long time, there is a chance it remains very slightly longer and stronger, but really really just a bit, from what I saw on zones of my body I started shaving regularly as an adult in some years, but nothing noticeable or to be afraid of or, in the case of eyelashes worth the hassle of cutting them all time, imho, but you can try :).
I don't see how this could possibly work. Not to mention that scissors anywhere near your eyeball just seems like a disaster waiting to happen!
