How to Grow Long, Healthy Lashes Naturally
Are you craving long, long lashes? Think fluttery, healthy, natural—with zero damage and no extensions needed. Whether you're bouncing back from lash loss or just stepping up your lash game, this guide is your glow-up blueprint for stronger, longer lashes that thrive with TLC.
In this blog post, we will get into the science, the products, and the habits that will help your lashes thrive.
1. Start With a Clean Lash Line
If you want healthy eyelashes, cleansing is non-negotiable. Dead skin cells, leftover eye makeup, lash adhesives, and everyday debris can block hair follicles and stunt growth.
Clean lashes = happy lashes.
Use a gentle makeup remover: Skip the harsh stuff. Choose one that won’t strip or sting. Always use a cotton pad, cotton ball, or even a clean mascara wand soaked in remover to gently lift makeup before bed.
Try Lash Suds Eyelash Cleanser: This foaming cleanser is made for your lash line, and it’s formulated specifically for use with eyelash extensions. It removes buildup without disrupting your eyelash follicles, helping to prevent lash damage, irritation, or infections. Use it daily to keep your lashes clean, fresh, and extension-friendly.

2. Disinfect and Soothe With Hypochlorous Mist
After cleansing, give your lash line extra care with Hale Derma, an antimicrobial hypochlorous spray we carry at The Beauty Block. It's like skincare for your lash line, refreshing, gentle, and effective.
Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is a natural disinfectant produced by your white blood cells to fight infections. When applied topically, it works as a gentle yet powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent. It can help alleviate symptoms of dry eye, blepharitis, and styes by reducing bacterial load and inflammation, making it an excellent addition to any lash health routine.
Fights bacteria and reduces inflammation
Supports lash and eye health with no irritation
Safe to use daily, even with eyelash extensions
3. Feed Your Follicles: Lash Serums That Actually Work
Not all lash serums are created equal, especially when it comes to safety. Some formulas contain prostaglandin analogs, which may lead to orbital fat loss over time. That’s why we recommend Adoreyes Lash Serum, a gentle and effective option made with natural ingredients and active peptides to promote healthy growth without the risk.
Strengthens lash follicles
Encourages the natural growth cycle
Delivers thicker lashes over time
With consistent use (think 4-8 weeks), you’ll notice longer, healthier lashes that resist breakage.
4. Support Healthy Growth From Within
Lashes are hair—and like the hair on your head, they respond to what you eat, how you sleep, and even your stress levels.
What helps promote healthy lash growth:
A balanced diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3 fatty acids
Hair growth supplements that include nutrients like Biotin, Vitamin E, zinc, collagen, and B-complex vitamins
Staying hydrated
Managing stress and supporting blood circulation
🌟Pro tip: A diet rich in nutrients doesn’t just help your lashes—it supports healthy hair growth, skin health, and nail strength too.
5. Treat Yourself to a Lash Lift and Tint (With Keratin!)
Are you looking for a way to boost your natural lashes while your growth serum works behind the scenes? Our Keratin Lash Lift and Tint combines visible results with long-term care, giving your lashes the perfect mix of treatment and glam.

Understand the Lash Growth Cycle
Knowing your eyelash growth cycle helps set realistic expectations. Here's how it works:
Anagen Phase (active growth): lasts 4-10 weeks
Catagen Phase (transition): 2-3 weeks
Telogen Phase (resting): up to 100 days
Most people start to see results from lash growth serums in a couple of weeks, but full effects often take 6-12 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth and routine.

FAQs About Lash Health
Is lash loss normal with extensions?
Lash loss should not happen if extensions are properly applied. At The Beauty Block, we use high-quality adhesives, lightweight lashes, and expert techniques to protect your natural lash health. Poorly done extensions, on the other hand, can cause serious damage.
How can I make my eyelashes grow longer?
Use a lash growth serum with natural ingredients, keep your lashes clean, and support growth with a healthy diet and proper care.
What really helps your eyelashes grow?
Peptides, biotin, Vitamin E, omega-3s, and active ingredients like panthenol support healthy lash growth. Consistency is key.
At what age do eyelashes stop growing?
Lash growth slows with age, but with the right routine, you can still promote thicker eyelashes well into your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
Can lash serum cause orbital fat loss?
Some serums with prostaglandin analogs may cause orbital fat loss over time. That’s why we recommend Adoreyes, which is prostaglandin-free.
How long does it take to grow lashes?
Expect to see early results in 4-8 weeks and fuller results by 6-12 weeks, depending on the serum and your lash cycle.
