Eyebrows are silent contributor in our personality. They make our image and conform the way we look. While thick full brows give you a balanced and richer appearance, thin or misshaped eyebrows make you look incomplete and draw attention towards your face. In fact, thin arch like brows are not in fashion anymore. Now, women want thick and full brows. Lucky are those who can grow them because, some others just cannot.
If you are also not satisfied with the thickness of your brows, or you have temporarily lost them due to some skin condition, worry not! You can always regrow lost eyebrows. While an eyebrow hair transplant is the easiest and the guaranteed way to regrow eyebrows or alter their shape and thickness, there are numerous time-tested natural remedies as well that you can try at home to make eyebrows grow faster naturally.
One of the most common causes of eyebrow hair loss is excessive tweezing and plucking. If you think your eyebrows have become very thin, stop plucking and threading your eyebrow hairs. It generally takes 6 to 8 weeks for the hair growth cycle to complete. Wait until you feel you have fully grown your brows.
Vitamins are essential for healthy hair growth on the scalp as well as body hair – your brows, mustaches and beard area. If you have dead and damaged scalp and facial hair, chances are high that your body is lacking on nutrients essential for healthy hair growth. Boost up your vitamin intake. Also make sure your daily diet contains proteins, iron, omega 3 fatty acids, zinc and sulfur. They all are crucial for the health of your hair and skin. Try to get these essential nutrients from natural sources, fruits, vegetables, pulses, lean meat and poultry.
To keep your hair soft, smooth and silky it is important that you keep your body adequately hydrated from inside out. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. You can also drink fresh juices, but avoid consuming caffeinated beverages.
The best way to enhance hair growth in any part of the body is through massaging. Massage your eyebrows regularly using coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil. This will enhance blood circulation in the brow area. Also brush your eyebrows using circular movements in the direction of hair growth. Repeat this once or twice a day.
Castor oil is the old age remedy for making hair thick and healthy. Women generally use it for thicker and longer eyelashes but you can also use it to make eyebrows grow faster naturally. Apply castor oil on eyebrow hairs using a Q-tip. Repeat this once or twice daily for best results.
The quickest way to make your eyebrows appear thick and healthy is apply an eyebrow pencil. Use a pencil of darker shade and fill in the patches while you wait for the brows to grow naturally.
