12-Week Lash Journey with photos: From Ripped Out to Regrown

Paula, a creator from Canada, was filming a GRWM and curling her lashes when, she says, her ring-light fell. She flinched and ripped out her eyelashes. This is her journey to grow her lashes back, with SOWN.

By the time the camera stopped, she'd already started looking for a fix. Her first message to us was "I ripped out my eyelashes and I'm seeking a lash serum to help grow them back, can you help!?"

She picked Root 1 for a simple reason: no prostaglandins, no hormones. After a lot of research and her hundreds of comments recommending SOWN to her, she looked into our formula and contacted us. Paula was relieved to find the main ingredients are peptides, vitamins, amino acids, and botanicals. And that Root 1 is formulated without 800+ irritants including fragrance. Paula followed our instructions and did one swipe along the top and bottom lash lines, morning and night. She kept it by her toothbrush so she wouldn't forget it!

This is the baseline. You can see one of Paula's eyes looking a bit red after losing some of the lashes, with large gaps along the lash line, particularly in the middle of the lash line.

By week 4, Paula reported seeing growth along her lash line and the gaps filling in.

This is the first checkpoint with a ruler card alongside the growth she was noticing. She used the ruler to track her progress. It's the thing that turns "I think they're growing" into something she can compare over time.

By week 8, Paula wasn't just documenting, she was tracking obsessively. "I actually couldn't believe my lashes had grown so much, not only after the accident but even more so than before!"

You can see both lash lines look fuller as well as longer.

Not only did Paula notice all the existing lashes along the lash line getting longer, but she noticed new lashes too, not just in the gaps where hers were pulled out but in other areas, meaning her lash line looked more voluminous.
