But not all of us are blessed with naturally thick and angled eyebrows. For those of us who crave for thicker eyebrows, we got the solutions for how to grow more eyebrow hair naturally. There are many ways we can grow eyebrows faster and naturally. There are many brands available out there that make grow eyebrow serum. You can use those, but it’s also easy to make a serum yourself at home. So you might be interested in knowing how in order to save some pennies.

So, let’s look at some ways for how to grow eyebrows at home:

Apply A Special Coating Every Night to Grow Eyebrows

The skin under our eyebrows might be dry which results in hair loss. So, in order to grow eyebrows faster, you need to seal some moisture in it. There are many products that can solve this problem and they are easily available at your own home. Some of these are Vaseline (petroleum jelly), castor oil, olive oil, coconut oil. All of this contains protein and encourages hair growth. However, be careful while using these. Castor oils might irritate the skin. While petroleum jelly can help solve a lot of skin and hair problems, it should not be used if you have oily and acne-prone skin.

Wash Your Face Properly Every Morning And Before Bed

After waking up in the morning wash your face properly with a cleanser.  Remove all the makeup products on the eyebrows gently. The oil in the makeup products would later attract dirt and cause irritation. Also, wash your face properly before bed and apply your oil or serum so that no residue of makeup, dirt or sweat is there to hinder the growth of the eyebrows.

Do Not Groom Your Eyebrows Before 12 Weeks

Many of us might be pondering on the question: Can eyebrows grow back? Yes. If you have the habit of grooming your eyebrows every month to look fresh, that might be one of the reasons that could be hindering hair growth. If you are losing hair on your eyebrows its best to not groom them before 12 weeks. Give your brows some time to grow naturally and let them relax for a few weeks. Avoid waxing, threading, plucking, or any other grooming methods.

Use An Eyebrow Brush Every Day

There might be times when the eyebrows grow in the wrong direction. To prevent this and to have good looking brows brush your brows every day. This also helps in blood circulation and hence promotes hair growth. Use the brush when you get ready in the morning and also at night after applying your oils or serum. This spreads the product evenly and also lightly massages the area. Don’t forget to wash your brush every other day to keep it clean and avoid irritations.     

Make This Homemade Serum to Grow Eyebrows

To grow eyebrows serums work very well. A serum can help grow eyebrows faster. To make a natural serum for your eyebrows mix 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, a ½ teaspoon of pure Aloe Vera gel, 1 tablespoon castor oil, 1 teaspoon vitamin oil. Mix these and store them in a clean glass container and apply with an applicator (you can use a washed and dried mascara applicator). This serum is best used at night since it will get the proper time to absorb.

Avoid Wearing Make-Up

Wearing too much make-up can slow down the growth of your hair. Avoid wearing makeup as much as possible. If your job demands for wearing makeup make sure to remove your brow makeup completely every day. Give your face some rest from makeup at least twice every week.

Massage And Exfoliate

Once or twice every week massage your eyebrows with oil (like castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or vitamin oil). Also, exfoliate your eyebrows gently with a fruit base or other gentle exfoliator once a week. This removes any residues left behind and also increases blood circulation in the area and hence leads to an increase in hair growth.

Use Natural Dye To Grow Darker Eyebrows

To grow darker eyebrow hair, as a natural method (which is good if you’re still growing your brows) you can use hena on your eyebrows. Apply to your brows and leave it for half an hour. You can use this once every two weeks or whenever you feel like your hair is getting lighter in color. This technique originated in the middle eastern side and is still used by regions of the middle east, India, and  Pakistan.

Drink Water to Grow Eyebrows

Water is good for your overall health. Drinking lots of water removes unwanted toxins from the body. Start drinking 8-10 glasses of water every single day. This will enhance your whole system. This will improve your hair growth and give you healthier and fuller eyebrows.

Eat Food That Encourages Hair Growth and Exercise

Foods that contain biotin (protein for hair growth), vitamin E, A, omega-3 fatty acid and lactic acid promote hair growth. You can eat foods like eggs, yogurt, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, avocado, salmon, nuts and other green leafy veggies. Regular exercise will increase your blood circulation which will help in hair growth. Daily exercise will also help in the distribution of hair’s natural oils which will keep your hair healthy and thick.

Manage Your Stress Or See A Doctor

 When we are stressed, the body release cortisol, the stress hormone, onto the surface of the skin, which damages the growth hormones and leads to hair loss. To manage your stress try meditation, yoga, journaling, go out in nature more or go for a massage. Visit a doctor to check for any allergies, hormonal disorders, other health conditions that may be the reason for slow hair growth and hair loss.

To grow eyebrows overnight is not possible, but to grow eyebrows in a week is possible to some extent. For some people, these techniques might work very fast but for some, it might take some time. But above all its important to be patient and follow through all the rituals and not give up easily. Since eyebrows are near your eye, be careful when you are using any product on your eyebrows and also be gentle while using them. Once you get your thick and healthy brows back you can groom them into shape and enhance your facial features more.
