The longest eyelashes - what is true, and where is fiction?

Eyelashes are the 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 human eyelids, and especially women, is also expressive, and a seductive facial element. So, even in ancient Egypt, long, thick and fluffy cilia were considered the standard of femininity. And then women secretly competed for the longest eyelashes, using an arsenal of proven and not very methods and recipes.

With the development of decorative cosmetics, the length of the eyelashes in women began to depend on the used carcass. By the way, the first in the world mascara was released by the company Maybelline in the distant 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, the record holder in this area is still a man. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the longest eyelashes in the world belong to a resident of India - Phuto Rav Mauli. 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 the length of the eyelashes lived, representatives of the Guinness Book came to record a completely different record - the oldest cow. Mauli, accidentally caught by their eyes, just struck them with the look of their eyelashes! Not surprisingly, because their length is 4.7 cm.

Man, incidentally, himself is not happy with his wealth. He never took care of his eyelashes, and even sometimes cut them off, so as not to interfere. Especially since in his youth he was often teased by a girl, which, of course, he could not like.

But this is not the limit. If you enter in any search engine the query "the longest eyelashes in the world", then the system will give thousands of links to a photo of a Chinese girl whose eyelashes hang below the chin! Under the photos are often given the "record" tips on how to lengthen your eyelashes. It turns out that such an 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 this length because of this.

Only now the whole history for some reason is not officially confirmed, that is, the name of a Chinese woman who has the longest lashes on the Internet, has not yet been included in the Guinness Book of Records. Why? Perhaps these eyelashes are not real?

Whatever it was, and lengthen your eyelashes, using recipes, which a huge amount of the world wide web, you can try. And even if this is true, and your cilia begin to grow as a yeast, keep the process under control and do not overdo it. Long, thick and fluffy eyelashes - it's really beautiful. But here are eyelashes to the chin - this is already too much. What once again proves that in everything you need to know the measure.

Animals, by the way, can also boast of such achievements. So, for example, the official record among dogs in the nomination "the longest eyelashes" belongs to the pet of the inhabitant of Canada Sandre Duck. The eyelashes of her four-legged friend reach 13.6 cm.
