While some people have lucked out with thick, bold and expressive brows and lashes due to the genetic lottery, others may have to work harder to get the same effect. Whether you’re losing eyebrow hair due to damage or plucked too much during the ’90s, there are tools, tricks and techniques to amp them all the way back up. We asked a dermatologist and a makeup artist for their favorite ways to build volume and body.
1. Replace your pro-growth mascara
While many of us pay close attention to our hair products, some of us have no clue what is actually in our mascara. We tend to want to buy expensive cosmetics because they convince us that they can get the job done, but do not let marketing claims fool you. Replace your growth serums with 100% pure castor oil. To apply the castor oil, soak a cotton swab in the oil and apply it to a freshly cleansed face. You may also dip a clean mascara brush into the castor oil and apply it to your lashes and brows that way. The next morning, remove the oil with a makeup remover, wash your face and apply makeup as usual.
2. Eat your fruits and vegetables
Ever since I became vegetarian, I noticed my lashes growing fuller, my brows becoming thicker and my hair gaining more shine and growth. This is because I am eating larger quantities of raw vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, these days some fruits and vegetables do not contain as many natural vitamins as they once did because most farmers are harvesting produce more quickly so that they look good on supermarket shelves. It is important to purchase local fruits and vegetables from or take supplements to ensure you are reaching your daily nutrition.
