According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, if the eyelashes get singed but the hair follicles are still intact, the lashes will usually grow back in 6 weeks. However, if the hair follicles were also damaged, the eyelashes might not grow back.

Do eyelashes grow back burnt off?

As long as the burning hasn't affected the follicle, your eyelashes will grow back. This is largely because of the perpetual growth cycle of your eyelashes. On any given day, you have lashes that are going through a growth phase, a transition phase or a dormant phase.

Should you cut singed eyelashes?

We suggest that shedding of scorched eyelash particles is a major cause of the ocular complaints in facial burn patients. Trimming the eyelash affords a simple and effective method of prophylactic treatment.
