Has anyone ever trimmed their eyelashes to stimulate growth? I read that this works, but have never known anyone to actually do it. Does it work? And why?

Well I over squeezed my lashes with a curler and broke them off once. The only thing that stimulated was anger.

I can't see how this would be a good idea at all. Cutting doesn't stimulate growth, and you'd be stuck with no eyelashes until they grew out.

Eye lash cutting doesn't work for humans. However my Yorkie has amazingly long lashes, that always grow after the groomer trims them.

I don't see how that would work.

Where did you read that?

There is a good reason you "have never known anyone to actually do it."...

Care to share these credible sources?

Well..due to my hair being a jerko I am going to start taking biotin again. It did make my lashes,brows and head hair thicker. My body stuff grew faster but silkier so I had less shaving irritations. Which is good because who likes to look like a mad monkey pit scratchin eh? Its cheap too:

I did have seizures when I was younger but I do not have a problem/complication with taking the biotin now. But I outgrew the seizures. I took(take) the 1000 mgs/day.

Don't do it. You never want to put anything sharp anywhere near your eyeball. Think about the injuries you might suffer vs any benefit you may realize. Personally I do not see how cutting your eyelashes would stimulate their growth at all. Proper nutrition, yes. Scissors, no.
