How to Make Eyebrows Thicker Remedies and Tips

Constant plucking of eyebrows to maintain them in shape, poor and low protein diet, and poor makeup practices can often reduce their growth resulting in thinned out and faded brows. Fuller eyebrows can make one look younger by taking those extra years off one’s face. Even in the world of fashion, thicker, longer brows are now in. From runway models to celebrities, everyone is sporting them.

10 ways To Grow Thick Eyebrows Using Home Remedies

Products derived naturally have always been safer to use. Plus, they don’t have irreversible adverse side effects, unlike their chemical counterparts. For those who aren’t endowed with thick brow arches, these simple and effective home remedies will answer your questions on how to have thick eyebrows.

1. Castor Oil

This has been a versatile ingredient in makeup and beauty home remedies. It helps maintain skin health and is an excellent hair growth enhancer, which is why it has been used as a solution for thin, waxed out eyebrows. Castor oil is rich in fatty acids which help the hair follicles grow, reactivating dormant hair follicles, triggering hair growth from them. Apart from promoting hair growth, castor oil also reduces hair fall from brow arches, catering to the presence of a high content of ricinoleic acid in it which adds volume to the thinning eyebrows. Massaging castor oil over the brow arches encourages hair growth because, massaging warms up the area, boosting blood supply to the roots of the hair shafts, thereby supplying nutrients and improving hair growth. The moisturizing action of castor oil prevents drying of hair follicles, causing them to multiply and increase hair growth.

How To use

1. Wash your face with a mild cleanser before retiring to bed. Pat dry with a face towel.
2. Using fingertips or a cotton pad, lightly Dab castor oil on to your brow arches.
3. Gently massage the oil on your eyebrows giving it an aid in the direction you want it to grow in.

Castor oil easily penetrates the skin and is absorbed quickly. After it has been absorbed into your skin, leave it overnight and wash with lukewarm water the next morning after waking up. Applying castor oil religiously over your brows will cause a dramatic spurt in hair growth of the brows, giving you thick and dark eyebrows that you have always desired.
