@guinnessworldrecords: Longest eyelash 👀 20.5 cm (8.0 in) long, grown on You Jianxia from China's left upper lid. Jianxia's eyelash was measured 12.40 cm and verified as the longest eyelash in 2016. Her eyelashes have continually grown since then, and the current longest eyelash is 8.10 cm longer than last measurement. "I first realized that my eyelashes were growing in 2015. They continue to grow slowly, becoming longer and longer," she explained. "I did visit medical professionals to find out why my eyelashes are longer than others people's eyelashes. The doctor couldn't explain this, and he felt it was really amazing. "I also tried to find scientific reasons such as genes or something else. However, none of my family have long eyelashes like me, so it can't be explained."
