Eyelashes are a privilege of mammals. Their main task is to protect the eyes from dust, small insects, bright light. Despite their important physiological function, hair on the eyelids of a person, and especially a woman, is also an expressive and seductive element of the face. So, even in Ancient Egypt, long, thick and fluffy cilia were considered the standard of femininity. And even then, women secretly competed for the longest eyelashes, using an arsenal of proven and not so methods and recipes.
With the development of decorative cosmetics, the length of eyelashes in women began to depend on the mascara used. By the way, the first mascara in the world was released by Maybelline back in 1917. Its composition was based on black coal and petroleum jelly. And the longest eyelashes have become a reality for all women in the world.
But no matter how women seek to lengthen their cilia, a man is still considered a champion in this area. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the longest eyelashes in the world belong to a resident of India - Phuto Rav Mawli. The record was recorded in 2004 and was accompanied by an interesting story.
The fact is that in the town where the future record holder for eyelash length lived, representatives of the Guinness Book came to fix a completely different record - the oldest cow. Mowley, accidentally caught his eye, just struck them with the look of his eyelashes! Not surprising, because their length is 4.7 cm.
By the way, a man himself is not happy with his wealth. He never looked after his eyelashes and even sometimes cut them, so as not to interfere. Moreover, in his youth he was often teased by a girl, which, of course, could not please him.
But this is not the limit. If you enter the query “the longest eyelashes in the world” in any search engine, the system will give thousands of links to photos of a Chinese girl whose eyelashes hang below her chin! Under the photographs are often given tips "record holder" on how to lengthen your eyelashes. It turns out that this effect can be achieved if you take care of them in a certain way, using both cosmetic and folk remedies. At least the girl claims that her eyelashes have reached such a length precisely because of this.
Only now this whole story for some reason has not been officially confirmed, that is, the name of the Chinese woman, who has the longest eyelashes on the Internet, has not yet been included in the Guinness Book of Records. Why? Perhaps these eyelashes are not real?
Anyway, you can try to lengthen your eyelashes using recipes, of which there are a huge number on the World Wide Web. And even if this is true, and your cilia begin to grow by leaps and bounds, keep the process under control and do not overdo it. Long, thick and fluffy eyelashes - it is really beautiful.
