Im not losing hair, but I'm losing eyelashes?

I'm almost 2 months out. I havent lost or had any thining hair as of yet, but for the past 2 days when i've been putting my makeup on (while using the eyelash curler) its clipping my lashes down to half their size, they seem very brittle. Anyone experience this or what can i do to stop it?

I've had the opposite...hair on the crown (top middle) of my head is definitely thinning but my eyelashes are LONGER and full than they have been in years. I'm a freak. lol But seriously, am guessing you could use the same supplementation for eyelashes as you could for thinning hair. A hairdresser told me that 1000mg of Niacin (B-3, above and beyond the sublingual B complex a lot of us sleevers already take) will definitely help hair (and nails)...shoudl start seeing results within a month. I looked it up before starting it and it is, indeed, one of the Vitamin supplements suggested for thinning hair (as well as Biotin and some others). Am into Niacin now for about 3 weeks and hopefully it will help me because the next step for me is Rogaine for women before it gets noticeable to everyone else (especially because I have short hair).

Still not sure why my lashes are LONGER but probably because of all the other Vitamins I take. :)

You are so lucky - my hair AND my eyelashes are falling out - I'm almost at 6 months out so hopefully will slow down soon!! Chin hairs that I have to pluck out are doing just fine though!! : )

yes the one annoying chin hair i get has no problem growing lol. are you taking Biotin and does that help? i havent started anything but a Multivitamin yet and i even have trouble remembering to take that!

I've been taking 10,000 mg of Biotin since 3 months before my surgery. Nothing is working - I had very thick hair before I had the surgery - now you can see my scalp all over my head - it's NOT amusing and getting harder and harder to manage my female combover!!!
