    1. This looks like a really annoying thing to live with. I’d end up trimming them daily

      If she can grow an eyelash like that, I am fearful to think what other hair she can grow to record lengths. 🤢

      Don’t put your face near any reciprocating machines. Rip those eyelids right off

    4. > You Jianxia (China) has held the record for the longest eyelash since 28 June 2016.

      > At that time, her eyelash measured 12.4 cm (4.88 in) and could be found on the upper eyelid of her left eye.

      > However, You Jianxia’s eyelashes continued to grow over the years, and on 20 May 2021, it was confirmed that the new longest eyelash was 20.5 cm (8.0 in)…

      > “I did visit medical professionals to find out why my eyelashes are longer than others people’s eyelashes. The doctor couldn’t explain this, and he felt it was really amazing.

      > “I also tried to find scientific reasons such as genes or something else. However, none of my family have long eyelashes like me, so it can’t be explained.”

      > You Jianxia believes her long eyelashes may be down to divine intervention as opposed to a scientific reason.

      > “I kept thinking about why I have such long eyelashes, then I remembered that I had spent over 480 days in the mountain, years ago.”

      > “So, I told myself that my eyelashes must be a gift given by the Buddha.”

      > Despite how long her unique eyelashes are, You Jianxia says that they don’t impact her life on a day-to-day basis.

      > If anything, they save her some time when she’s applying her makeup…

      > “In my daily life, my eyelashes don’t bring any concerns or difficulties. Just lots of joys. Only joys, no trouble.”

      I’m 46. I never ever cut mine and they are like…… Normal……

      How does one even grow them to this extend?

      Oh, hell no. Imagine she’s holding a baby and they grab onto that. Nightmare fuel.

      How does this even happen? I’ve been told I have long full eyelashes for a guy but not out of the ordinary. I’ve never once had to trim my eyelashes in 38 years of existence. lol
