Simple Home Remedies for Naturally Fuller & Thicker Eyebrows

1. Massaging brows with oil

Massaging your brow area with oils like olive oil, castor oil or coconut oil is one of the best home remedies for gaining fuller eyebrows. And a known one too. Massaging in circular motions increases blood circulation and helps in hair growth while the nutrients of the oil nourish your hair follicles. Make it a routine every night to massage your eyebrows well with a few drops of oil before going to bed. 

2. Aloe Vera

The medicinal benefits of fresh aloe vera gel aren't unknown. And of course, it helps in gaining fuller eyebrows too. The Aloin compound present in aloe vera helps in quicker hair growth which makes using fresh aloe vera from the plant a must try the remedy. Scoop out the gel from a leaf and apply and rub it onto your eyebrows until it gets absorbed into the skin and leaves it like that for 30-45 minutes. Rinse it off later and repeat this every day.

3. Milk

Rich in proteins that stimulate hair growth, using milk for getting fuller eyebrows is the easiest remedy to do. Simply take a small amount of milk in a bowl and soak a cotton ball in it. Rub that cotton ball onto your eyebrows efficiently and leave it on for 15-20 mins. Rinse off with lukewarm water when it dries up. Repeat it as frequently as you like.

4. Onion Juice

Onion juice strengthens hair follicles and is rich in sulfur, minerals and antioxidents, which aid in hair growth. For that matter, onion juice has already been proven as an effective remedy for hair growth. All you got to do is, grind 1 onion and extract its juice. Apply that juice with a cotton ball or a Q-tip on your eyebrows and let it dry. Wash it off with cold water after 20-30 minutes.

But, hold up. What about its pungent smell? Well, to get rid of that smell you can either apply lemon juice after washing off the onion juice or clean the onion juice with a cotton pad soaked in lemon juice all together.

5. Fenugreek Seeds

Rich in Vitamin B3 and proteins, fenugreek seeds are known to make your hair healthier in general. Not only that, but they also help in rebuilding hair follicles that leads to fresh hair growth. No wonder using these seeds is considered to be one of the best home remedies for fuller eyebrows. Simply soak these seeds in water overnight and then grind them enough to make a smooth paste. Apply this paste onto your brows and leave it on for 20-30 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water later. You can also add a few drops of almond oil or coconut oil into the paste. Repeat this 2-3 times a week consistently for better results.

6. Egg yolk

Eggs are a great source of protein which makes it an obvious home remedy for thicker eyebrows. Simply break an egg and separate the yolk. Beat this egg yolk properly and then apply it on your eyebrows. Let it sit for 15-20 mins and then wash off with warm water. Do it twice a week for desired results.

7. Petroleum Jelly

Petroleum jelly will help in conditioning your brow area and in maintaining its moisture which counts as an essential factor in your eyebrow growth. Before going to bed simply massage your eyebrows with a good amount of petroleum jelly and let it work its magic!

The Best Home Remedies for Longer Eyelashes

1. Eyelid Massage

Massaging your eyelids would improve the blood circulation around your eyes and to your hair follicles. This stimulates hair growth and much stronger lashes. You can use shea butter, petroleum jelly or coconut oil for this. Use your fingertips to massage in light circular motions for at least 5-10 minutes. Do this twice a day consistently to achieve the desired results.

2. Castor Oil

Castor oil is rich in natural fatty acids that make it an essential hair follicle stimulant as it nourishes and triggers hair growth. Using castor oil is one of the oldest home remedies for long eyelashes. Applying castor oil onto your lashes and lash lines (keeping away from the eyes) with a Q-tip or a clean mascara wand is how you should go about this. You can also prepare a mix of castor oil and Vitamin E oil that you can apply daily before going to bed and wash it off the next morning

3. Green Tea

Rich in antioxidants, green tea definitely results in long and voluminous lashes. Simply brew your green tea like you normally do and when it cools down to apply it on your eyelashes with a Q-tip or cotton pads. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it off. Repeat this daily for at least about a month and see the difference yourself.

4. Olive oil + Almond Oil

Olive oil is already popular and known for impressive hair growth and so is almond oil. Simply mix the two oils in a bottle and apply this oil mix on your lashes before going to bed every night.

5. Brushing eyelids

As miniscule as it might seem, brushing your eyelids off with an eyelash brush helps in getting it rid of the dirt and dust particles. Brush off your eyelashes by starting from the roots of your lashes towards the ends in upward strokes every night while removing your makeup.

Now go get your dream brows and lashes!
