      Hi @chloetaylorx
      Eyelashes are like all other hairs, they grow out of follicles in the skin. These follicles are on the very edge of your eye lids!

      Babies are born with eyelashes, they develop between week 22 and 26 of pregnancy, they must be REALLY SMALL then!!

      Hope this answers your question!
