Eyebrows and eyelashes are the main accessories of the face. These elements protect the eyes from exposure to dust, microscopic particles of polluted air, sweat, etc. Eyelash bristles and eyebrows make the face expressive, attractive, and emotional. It happens that a person does not have eyebrows and eyelashes, or they fall out greatly, leaving bald spots. The phenomenon is called madarosis. It is necessary to react promptly to facial hair loss. Only in this case can you save and return the main accessories of your face.

Treatments
Lush, thick eyelashes and eyebrows most often occur in women who lead a healthy lifestyle, go to sports training, and take care of their well-being. Such ladies are scrupulous when choosing cosmetics, preferring only proven products.
Among the care procedures that must be performed regularly for both eyebrows and eyelashes are the following:
- Morning and evening combing of hair. To do this, you can use a clean mascara brush.
- In the evening at home after a shower, coconut, castor, burdock, and sea buckthorn oils should be applied to the bristles. Professionals advise alternating oils or constantly using the one you like best.
- During an oil session, it is useful to perform a mini-massage of the eyebrows and eyelashes. The areas are first stroked with the pads of the fingers, then lightly pinched.
- Massage will stimulate the hair follicles and provide a rush of blood to them. As a result, hair will grow thick and strong.
Note! It is useful to please your eyelashes and eyebrows by applying a paste of fresh parsley to them with the addition of a drop of the oil preparation Aevit.
In the beauty salon, masters offer the following wellness sessions for the main facial accessories:
- lamination;
- restorative course of procedures.
Eyelash diseases and their symptoms
Diseases of the eyelashes can be divided into 2 groups - parasitic lesions and changes in the physiological characteristics of the structure of the organ.
The first group includes:
- pediculosis;
- demodicosis
In the first case, the disease is caused by pubic lice. Their cephalic relatives do not live on eyelashes and other areas covered with hair. Infection occurs through contact.
Signs of the disease:
- itching;
- conjunctivitis;
- gray coating on hairs;
- traces of blood.
In the second case, the infectious agent is a microscopic mite. This insect lives in the ducts of hair follicles and sebaceous glands and is considered a representative of opportunistic microflora.
Most often, this disease is diagnosed in veterinary practice, but it also occurs in humans.
Signs of pathology:
- discharge from the eyes;
- hyperemia of the eyelid margin;
- hypertrophy of the eyelid margin;
- decreased production of tear fluid;
- development of dry eye syndrome;
- hair loss.
The second group of diseases is associated with impaired eyelash growth and their number. Pathologies in this group include:
- trichiasis - in this case, eyelashes grow in the wrong direction towards the eyeball. There may be a single hair, or there may be many - along the entire length of the edge of the eyelid;
- distichiasis is a congenital pathology in which 2 strips of hairs grow on each eyelid. That is, doubling the number of hairs;
- hypertrichosis is an acquired disease. An increase in the number of hairs with a normal number of ciliary rows;
- madarosis or hypotrichosis - you can find photos on the Internet - complete or partial absence of hairs. Often this is an acquired pathology, which is a consequence of a serious illness with aggressive treatment.
All these pathologies can be accompanied by conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and in severe cases, an ulcer of the cornea or sclera develops.
People without eyebrows or eyelashes
Dyeing eyelashes with henna
When an artist draws a portrait, the first things to be drawn in his sketch are the eyes and eyebrows. It is these elements that give the image its uniqueness. Despite the fact that there are several types of eyebrows (house, crescent, straight line), this accessory is individual for each person. If you remove eyebrows and eyelashes, your appearance will suffer greatly. The face will become unrecognizable.
Men and women who are faced with the problem of eyelash and eyebrow loss become depressed. The situation can sometimes change their life completely. They stop meeting with friends, prefer not to leave the house, and change their lifestyle beyond recognition.
If you look at photographs of people with eyebrows, eyelashes, and then without these elements, you can see with the naked eye how their appearance can change. The face takes on an unusual appearance, looks defenseless, flat, alien. Emotionality disappears.
How do eyebrows change your face? The absence of eyebrows turns even celebrity faces into strange masks.

Symptoms of madarosis
The main symptom of madarosis is exactly what you think it is - your eyelashes and/or eyebrows are falling out. However, there are several other symptoms that often accompany madarosis. Before your eyelashes or eyebrows fall out, you may notice that the hairs have become thinner and more fragile. You may also find that your eyelashes become easily pulled out when you apply makeup, such as mascara. But still, don’t panic if you see a pair of eyelashes on the mascara wand, as I wrote above - eyelashes tend to renew themselves.
