Human Eyelashes
The eyelashes of the embryo develop between the 22nd and 26th week of pregnancy. Eyelashes take about seven to eight weeks to grow back if pulled out. Their color may differ from that of the hair, although they tend to be dark on someone with dark hair and lighter on someone with light hair.
The follicles of eyelashes are associated with a number of glands known as the Glands of Zeis and the Glands of Moll.
