For as long as records go back, women have tried to have eyelashes which were longer and thicker than their rivals. They knew that their beauty, and therefore their chances of being picked as a bride, were greatly enhanced by them having beautiful eyes. And they knew then, as they know now, that the one factor that makes a woman's eyes stand out is long thick eyelashes.
From the Egyptians and Romans using kohl to highlight their eyes, to the women in the East using Henna to do the same, women have through the ages, tried to find the magic formula to give them beautiful, long, curly lashes. Many methods such as hot wax to give the lashes a firmer look have resulted in blindness. Over time, countless methods have been developed and today, women have a variety of eyelash growing techniques and growth products at their disposal. From growing eyelashes naturally, to using home remedies to grow them, to permanent eyelashes, the choices are numerous. Women just have to decide which growth method suits their needs and budget.

Using mascara to give the impression of thicker eyelashes is still very popular and cheap. However, the chemical ingredients in mascara can be an irritant to some women and cause redness and itching. So, a lot of women opt for false eyelashes to give them the long lashes they want. But again, this is a very temporary measure and has to be carried out daily. Furthermore, there is an art to putting on false lashes and if done incorrectly, they will appear lopsided.
A slightly more expensive method is eyelash extensions. These can be either semi-permanent eyelash extensions or permanent eyelash extensions.
Semi-permanent eyelash extensions are where the extensions are attached to each individual lash on the eyelid with a special glue and lasts for about 2 months. Semi-permanent extensions look very natural and will definitely give women longer eyelashes but care must be taken to choose the right salon. Done incorrectly, the hairs can look clumpy and when removed, the natural eye lashes can fall out as well. Semi-permanent eyelashes will not be affected by daily routines such as bathing or swimming and the fact that the eyelash extensions last for 2 months is helpful as well.
Permanent eyelash extensions are the most expensive. This method of attaining long permanent eyelashes involves surgery. A skin patch is taken from the back of the neck and grafted onto the eyelids. As the hairs are natural, they will grow but at a faster pace than the existing eye lashes. Therefore, the new hairs have to be trimmed and taken care of. The permanent eyelash extensions procedure is a one off-cost and not only are they natural but women can carry on normal lives without any fear of them falling off. These permanent eyelashes are very popular amongst women who have short eyelash hairs, especially the Chinese and Japanese.
