Title: Does HRT grow your eyelashes, or am I just imagining things?
Post by: EmilyElizabeth on April 18, 2011, 01:27:24 AM
I swear since I've started HRT my eyelashes have gotten longer and fuller.  Is this something others have experienced?  Must say, I do love it! :D

  You had me looking in the mirror.  Not my eyelashes, but the hair on my scalp!  It is thicker, but a platinum grey with my original color coming out of the back.  It is finer, much softer and less of a curl.  My nails are thinner and break easily.

Yeah it can help your lashes. I had almost no bottom lashes but now I have some. Still not as much as I'd like though.

Testosterone makes nails thicker and stronger. Estrogen makes them thinner and more brittle. There is a vitamin supplement called "biotin" that helps hair,skin and nails. Since taking it my nails grow faster and the are stronger. It also made them grow smoother. This is an old 80s metal hairband trick we used to use to grow our hair out more

ha! i knew i wasn't imagining it!

then again my eyelashes have always been pretty thick. Once back in school a girl even asked if i wore mascara (or was it eyeliner? pretty sure mascara), i had to think for a moment and then remembered i hadn't tried mascara on in a while

 I had eyebrows shaped the other day and the tech asked if I had eyelash extensions. I haven't and she thought they were great. My nails are weak but always have been :embarrassed:. I'm getting talked in to having falsies. That should finish any chance of pretending to pass as male :laugh:

One of my friends told me my eyelashes were thicker too some months after starting HRT.

Yep,my bottom eyelashes really got longer than before. I took pics before I started HRT, and that was one of the things I noticed. I think it just depends on genetics.
