Can I grow eyebrows?

[mehrunissa]

Hmm, I don't know for sure, because when I used it hair loss or thinning wasn't really an issue for me. But from what little I've found out online, it seems that it's used often in South Asia to "halt hair loss and promote the growth of new hair." I didn't find any medical texts on it though, just random Indian beauty sites. My grandma swears by it though, and she's got more hair on her head than my mom and I combined!

I'm going back to the store tomorrow to buy it - I'll post to say how well it works and if it smells gross or not, etc.

Im not sure about that since people also use it on their lashes to help them grow thicker & longer. Ive heard it stimulates hair growth.

I would suggest (if anyone trys this) mixing this with say olive oil or jojoba to thin it a little since castor alone is pretty thick.

I've read this also.

Several months ago I purchased some Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator from CVS for about $4.99. It comes in a mascara wand type of container and is is a 30 day supply. This actually brought back brow hairs I had not seen for a while. It's a gel that really seemed to work!

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering how would you use the castor oil? Would you put it on like hair serum or something, and what about the lashes?

I'd like to know about how to use it for the hair, too. I'd be kinda leary about putting something as heavy as castor oil around the eye area though as it might clog the pores and cause milia.

Edit: Here's some links I found in the hair forum...

i will be the official castor oil guinea pig as i have been doing it for months now...

ahem

my brows were so seriously overplucked as a teen, and i had a bad habit of pulling at them when i was nervous. they were literally down to a width of one hair at the very ends and not much better in other places. i'm 37 now so this gives you an idea of how long my brows have been tramatized.

about 8-9 months ago i switched my cleansing routine to the oil cleansing method. i use half jojoba oil and half castor. the castor is too heavy on it's own but it is better for oily skin.

my skin is great but that's another story. i use the mix to take off all my makeup, eye makeup as well. i just smear the stuff around and wipe off with warm washcloth. then on my eyes i put a thin layer of the oil under my eyes to hydrate and a layer worked into my brows and leave overnight.

ladies i am here to tell you that i have EYEBROWS! :rockwoot: they are still thin but you can see them! i can leave the house now with out drawing them on and i have actually had to pluck away a few hairs.

i have had no problem with millia either. this has really worked for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's great! Thanks for sharing!

That's fabulous! I definitely want to give this a try. It's inexpensive and I've got naturally light/thin brows. I could use all the help I can get.

 

[dentaldee]

good to know.........thanks, I'm gonna give it a try!!

 

[gagirl1985]

ill have to try that too!

 

[luxotika]

I really want to try the castor oil in my hair, but after reading this, I am totally not going to do it! For sure I will try it in my eyebrows.

Castor oil brought back my overwaxed eyebrows in a very short time. I just don't know how you would use it on the hair though. I would love for it to help my hair grow.

I don't understand, why don't you want to put in on your hair?//

 

[angel_eyes4evah]

this is great! Everyone thats using it please keep us updated, especially w/ pics!!

 

[Dragonfly]

Why not talk to a dermatologist and see if he/she can prescribe a hair growth product. Then have them monitor you so brows grow in properly.

Paula Begoun spoke about a product that can help brows but I forget the name, Her site is cosmeticscop.com

 

[curvy_4_u]

hi, i have tried lipocils from talika....it does wonders for the eybrows and eyelashes....but the problem is if u stop using it it goes bacck to it original state.....so u have to keep on using the product...hope this helps...

 

[katrosier]

I just wanted to mention that castor oil is drying so be careful if you've got dry skin around your eyebrows it will aggrevate it.

I've tried Mavala double lash which is used for this purpose and don't see a huge difference in my brows. But I've heard some good stories about it though

 

[teb]

Oh, that's what's causing that flakiness. I knew it was something about the CO that my brows didn't like.

 

[Aquilah]

I've tried Ardell Brow and Lash Growth Accelerator, but didn't notice too much difference. I also wasn't as "on top of it" as I could've been. I'm thinking about trying the castor oil bit though.
