There are a lot of reasons that you may want to grow eyebrows. Maybe you over plucked. Maybe you’re tired of sweat and other things getting into your eyes. That’s why eyebrows are there really, to protect your eye. Having thicker eyebrows enhances your appearance and your expression.

Does it take long for eyebrows to grow back? Not usually. But when plucking, you have to be careful not to pull out the root. If the hair is pulled out at the root, it may not grow back at all. Some people suffer from conditions such as hypothyroidism that cause hair to be week, brittle and to fall out easily. It also makes it difficult to grow eyelashes. Other people have genetic causes. If your dad, or mom had thin hair there is a good chance your hair is going to be thin also. So you could thank your parents for your thinning eyebrows.

Some people have a poor diet, low in protein. A good, well balanced diet, rich in lean protein will help you grow eyelashes as well as other hair. Hair is a protein, and the body needs an adequate supply to assist with growth and renewal.

Grow Eyebrows With Help From Your Kitchen

Eyebrows require conditioning just like the hair on your head. A good oil is usually the best source of moisture. Vaseline is commonly recommended because of it’s consistency. It is easy to apply and stays on. It provides moisture to the skin, as well as to the hair. This helps the hair to be less brittle and may prevent breakage. Also commonly recommended is olive oil. I actually prefer olive oil, I think the results are better. I also feel a little uncomfortable putting petroleum jelly on my face and would rather use a plant based oil. Caster oil is another alternative.

I have heard it said that olive oil promotes growth, Vaseline promotes thickness and caster oil gives you both. I’m not sure that’s true. I haven’t seen any actual studies on any of them. They each simply moisturize the hair, the follicle and the skin. This promotes growth and a healthier hair.

If you have a desire, or a need to grow eyebrows you should also look at some of the new cosmetics that are available. Some of these just offer basic conditioning. Others are clinically tested products that were developed specifically to promote hair growth. For a number of years, glaucoma patients have been treated with prostoglandin analogues. Two common ones are Bimatoprost and Trinorprosta. These are found in the eye drops that treat the condition. Medical personel working with glaucoma patients have long noticed and documented the growth in their eyelashes. These prostoglandins have the same effect when applied to the eyebrows. They promote growth.

If you need to grow eyebrows to get the look you want, use several techniques. Be careful plucking, keep your eyelashes conditioned, and consider the use of one of the new cosmetics that promote hair growth. In just a few weeks, you can see a remarkable difference.

Research done in the UK found that less than 29 percent of women dispose of old makeup when it becomes discoloured or passes the expiration date.

A beauty analyst for the research firm Alexandra Richmond stated that cosmetics like eyelash mascara and eyeliner can increase the chance of an eye infection, and should be disposed of just like old food.  She went on to say that “Like food, cosmetics can expire and become dangerous to use.  There may be far more lurking at the bottom of your makeup bag than old dried up mascara”.

You can use eyelash extensions.  This is a quick solution, but is a little bit of a bother.  It takes time to apply lash extensions and to make sure they are positioned properly.  The eyelash adhesive can cause some irritation and may actually affect the health of  your natural eyelashes, compounding the problem.  If you have weak lashes, they may break or become brittle with extended use of the false ones.

You can make some dietary changes to strengthen your hair in general, which affects your eyelash health.  Eating a nutritionally balanced diet affects your hair from the inside out and provides a lasting fundamental change which will make you look and feel healthier.

There are also products out their designed to grow eyelashes either by supporting your bodies natural processes, through the use of certain pharmaceuticals which have been found to stimulate hair growth.

Some eyelash growth products like Lilash an Latisse, both good, medically proven products, use prostoglandins that are sometimes used to treat glaucoma.  Doctors noticed that glaucoma patients using these products had enhanced, stronger, longer eyelashes.  When used for the purpose of eyelash growth, they are not put into the eye, but only as a topical above the upper eyelash.  They are applied like eyeliner.

The key is to use a multiple step approach.  A change in diet, with the addition of a quality eyelash growth product.  You don’t have to rule out fake eyelashes either.  If you grow eyelashes that are  longer and stronger they will provide better support for your false eyelashes without breaking or becoming brittle.

Latisse is used just like eyeliner and is applied to the eyelash line usually in the evening before bed. . Many report the irritation goes away after a few days. The product itself ranges from $120 to $150 for a 60 day supply. The benefits stop when usage stops. You need to keep it up to maintain the effect, and it is technically a daily use product. A prescription is required to obtain this product.

The big deal with Latisse, is that it requires a prescription. It contains a medication called Bimatoprost, a prostoglandin which is used in the treatment of cataracts. Latisse was approved by the FDA for the treatment of Hypotrichosis (lack of hair growth). Requiring a prescription doesn’t really make it any better (although it is a good product, without a doubt), it just makes it harder to get.

These products aren’t cheap. Comparing the price of Lilash vs Latisse at about $140 for a 60 day supply of Latisse and LiLash at about $140 for a 3-4 month supply, I think the LiLash is a better value. It’s easy to apply, and goes on like any liquid eye liner, with results in about 4-6 weeks (although some have reported results in as little as 2 weeks).

Another advantage of LiLash is that once results have been achieved, you can reduce the usage to only 2 to three times a week.
