Is it bad to pull out loose eyebrows and eyelashes?
Yolkie asked:
After washing my face, I will run my finger across my eyebrows and some loose strands will come out on my finger. Usually 1-3. Also, when my eyebrows are dry, I will ruffle the hairs in the opposite direction of growth, and about 1-3 will come out.

In addition, when I see an eyelash that is sticking out more than the others and looks loose, I’ll ever-so gently pull it out without any effort.
Is it bad to do this? Is it normal to lose 1-6 eyebrow/eyelashes everyday?

I think its completely normal, Ive been doing the same thing for years and my eyebrows and lashed are still full! Its kind of addicting really lol
It has become a bad habit. Possibly a compulsive dis-order.
umm YEP u’ll end up with no eyebrows n no eyelashes then u’ll look silly?
Don’t worry, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s natural for eyelashes and eyebrow hair to fall out and pulling them out gently doesn’t do any damage. (:
eyebrows are not really a problem. these are prone to coming out and grow back no bother.
Eye lashes on the other hand could be a bit more problematic. You really shouldn’t be pulling at them if you can help it – You risk damaging the Follicle of that hair and it therefore might never grow back.
Also, please bear in mind that there ar factors which can effect these things – the make up you use and the face-wash and methods used to take off any make up can have an effect on these things. – always be gentile to your eyes.
If you see that you are losing an unusual amount then maybe you should go see a doctor.
I’ve been plucking my eyebrows since 1995 so yeah, pull them scragglers out if they’re bothering you.
As far as losing that many hairs in a given day, we shed hair and skin all the time. If you don’t have bald eyebrows or eyelashes, what’s the big deal?
