Can I grow eyebrows?

[dentaldee]

Hello .... I'm wondering if there is any way to grow eyebrows!! I know this sounds weird... but I have heard of eyelash conditioners and I wondered if it would help grow sparse e/bs??? The end 1/3 of my e/bs only have a few hairs and I hate the way they look when I pencil them in. Any suggestions?? on growth or m/u hints??

I don't remember which company had it, but either Mavala or Talika makes and eyebrow conditioner get in addition to their eyelash conditioner gels... I would definitely check them out.

Also I would recommend using good old Rogaine on your brows once a day...

I was watching "How Do I Look?" on the Style Network recently, and the NARS MA suggested using castor oil on eyebrows to grow them out.

OMG no!!!!! :icon_lol: Rogaine makes hair grow unevenly, and you'll end up with tufts of hair instead of a normal eyebrow.

 

[MACGoddess]

Really? I have heard countless people saying to try that out (I haven't tried it myself though)

 

[Cool Kitten]

maybe someone here will volunteer to be our guinea pig and we can get a definite answer :icon_smil

 

[MACGoddess]

LMAO! Don't count on it! I wouldn't want to try it after you said what you did! :icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek:

I heard on a show last week(I think it was one of those makeover shows that if you rub castor oil on your brows each night it will speed up the growth.

Ive heard this also & was about to suggest it. It is also supposed to be good for lashes.

 

[dentaldee]

thanx for the replies!! I may be up for trying anything!!! there's always wax if need be!!! I don't know if I can get roaine in Canada?? ( never looked!!)

I also remember hearing this & that it causes sporadic hair growth & isn't for spot treatments.

I might suggest also for the time being try brow powder instead of the pencil. It looks way more natural at least on me it does /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[dentaldee]

what kind of brush do you use? I think the brush I used (when I tried powder one time) was too big. Should it be fairly stiff?

 

[Min]

Mine is pretty small & on the stiff side. What I do is apply the powder with the brow brush then I comb throw it with my brow comb & it looks pretty good. Ive used the pencils & they are way to bold for me. I have a drug store brand brush but this is pretty close.

I tried the Talika eyebrow gel a few months ago and I didn't see any sort of improvement, growth, etc. I put it on twice a day for a month and I got nothing from it. I tried growing out my brows a little thicker, but that product is just a waste of $$$ IMO. It's been over a month since I last waxed them and they have gotten close to what I was looking for, just maintaining the strays now.

With the Rogaine, what happens when you stop using it? Will the hairs fall out when you stop using it? Sorry I have no idea how it works. :icon_conf

 

[Min]

I dont think they would fall out but what I heard was that it could cause growth in places you dont want it in the area basically its hard to contain it in one area. Id try the castor oil before buying that or another brow product you can get it for a couple bucks so if it doesnt work then your not out a fortune :icon_bigg

oh god! i was going to try the rogaine thing a couple months ago on my brows but never got around to it! glad i waited!

try stila's brow set! it is a really great brow powder, and since using it have stopped worrying about the parts of my brow that are sparse.

 

[kaeisme]

I am so.. not trying to get a visual of tufts of hair on the brow.LOL

 

[mehrunissa]

Yeesh, that was close! I heard or read a tip somewhere to use Rogaine to grow your eyebrows out thick (since that's the "trend" now...) and was going to try it to fix the inside corners of my brows. I told my brother and his reply to me was that I'm an idiot. Anyway, I won't be going near it!

Try the castor oil, because my mom used to put it in my hair when I was little, and I always got oooh'd and aaaahh'd over. I saw a bottle in the Indian store today and thought about starting it again. Good luck!

 

[jessica9]

but the castor oil will only help speed up the growing, it won't actually help eyebrows grow where they aren't growing, right??
