Move over, maxxing on carrots; here comes shaving your eyelashes.

Young men are shaving off their eyelashes in viral TikTok videos, in attempts to appear more masculine that medical experts say could lead to serious eye problems.

In the many quiet videos, teenage boys can be seen calmly using electric razors to scrape off their lashes, calling long eyelashes “girly” in the captions. The goal, they say, is to look tougher. 

CNN reports that men are chasing this look “in barber shops from Turkey to New Zealand,” aiming to walk out not with a fresh fade on their hair — but with so-called “stubby lashes.”

Medical professionals are baffled.

“This is yet another instance where leaving the body to look after itself is probably for the best,” a medical research team led by Adam Taylor of Lancaster University wrote in an op-ed for The Conversation. “Our lashes aren’t just aesthetic.”

Experts warn that lashes block debris, trigger the blink reflex and help spread meibum, an oil that keeps the eyes from drying out. Cutting them raises the risk of styes, conjunctivitis and inflammation of the cornea.

“Why would anyone want to get rid of something that actually protects your eyes and can actually make you look better?” Dr. Gary Linkov, a plastic surgeon, asked in a YouTube video last week.

On Reddit, the trend sparked sharp backlash and ridicule. 

“Because nothing screams masculine like being eyelash-less,” one user wrote. 

“I used to work with a guy who thought it was ‘gay’ to trim your eyebrows. These ‘manly men’ all need therapy but of course they won’t ever get it because that would make them ‘weak.’ It’s truly f——- pathetic,” the writer added.

Though still a fringe phenomenon, eyelash-shaving fits within a growing list of hypermasculine behaviors fueled by online subcultures: Going abroad to get hair transplants, bulking up jawlines, and avoiding straws because they’re “for women,” as Rep. Tim Burchett, Tennessee Republican, recently claimed.

These beauty standards have become more about male approval than female attraction, some experts say. And masculinity forums (increasingly known online as the “manosphere”) are pushing high ideals of masculinity while scorning anything feminine.

“Disregard those wenches,” one poster in the “Men Going Their Own Way” community wrote about the trend. “You do whatever YOU want to do to better yourself.”

But one Reddit user didn’t even attempt to be understanding in response to this latest fad for men: “Enjoy your pinkeye, dumba—es”
