Here's why:
* Eyelashes have a shorter growth cycle: Eyelashes typically grow for about 30 days before shedding, while head hair can grow for years.
* Eyelashes are smaller and more delicate: This makes them less susceptible to damage and breakage, allowing them to stay intact for longer.
* Eyelashes are constantly replaced: Even though they last longer than a single head hair, your eyelashes are constantly shedding and being replaced, ensuring a consistent presence.
So, while a single eyelash might seem like it's "lasting longer" in terms of individual lifespan, head hairs have the potential to grow to a much greater length before eventually shedding.
