Safe Eyelash Growth After Chemotherapy

Hi!  I’m Chrissy, the social media manager for The C Curl. When I went through chemotherapy for breast cancer, my biggest fear was losing the hair on my head. I tried everything—cold caps, special shampoos and careful shower routines, anything that might help—and when only half of it fell out, I counted it as a small victory. What I wasn’t prepared for was losing my eyelashes. One day they were there, the next they were gone, and suddenly, the face in the mirror looked as sick as I felt. That moment shook me more than I expected.

A kind friend gave me an expensive lash serum, but when I asked my oncologist, she told me not to use it. It contained prostaglandins, which carry risks of infection and other serious complications. I was stunned—I never imagined something as simple as an eyelash serum could be unsafe.

That’s when Kara, the founder of The C Curl, stepped in. She gave me the Lash Growth Serum she had developed with a beauty chemist. Unlike other serums, hers doesn’t use prostaglandins. Instead, The C Curl Long Lash Growth Serum relies on safe, effective ingredients like peptides and biotin. Within weeks, my lashes began to grow back, stronger and healthier. Not long after, I joined The C Curl team (but that’s a story for another day!). What matters most is that both Kara and I share the same passion: supporting women. For me, as a breast cancer survivor, that means giving back.

This month, we’re donating a portion of every Long Lash Serum sale to two organizations that made a difference in my journey: WeSpark and the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Campaign.  When you shop with us this month, you’re not just investing in beautiful, healthy lashes—you’re also helping women like me feel whole again.

With love,

Chrissy
