Did you know that in addition to protecting your eyes from sweat and moisture, your eyebrows make it easier for people to recognize you? In an interesting study, participants had more difficulty recognizing a number of famous people from altered images when celebrities had no eyebrows than when they had no eyes. That explains how important your eyebrows are for your appearance and why it is cause for concern when you begin to lose eyebrow hair. Excessive loss of eyebrow hair may indicate health conditions such as hypothyroidism or madarosis. It can also indicate that you are or were under stress or that you have protein and vitamin deficiency. An autoimmune condition called alopecia areata may also be responsible for the loss of eyebrow hair. In all these cases, you would also see a loss of scalp hair. It would be wise to visit a doctor to identify the underlying health condition, but in the meantime, you could also try these natural remedies to have thicker eyebrows.
1. Castor Oil:
Although there is no clinical study to support its effects, castor oil is traditionally considered one of the most effective remedies to make your eyebrows grow thicker and faster. Nourishes the hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
- Soak a cotton swab in pure castor oil and apply it to each eyebrow.
- Massage the eyebrows gently with the fingertips for 2-3 minutes.
- Leave it on for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Wash it with warm water.
- You can do this once a day, probably every night before bedtime.
2. Coconut Oil:
The coconut oil has nutrients such as vitamin E and iron can promote thick, healthy hair growth. In addition, coconut oil, loaded with the fatty acid called lauric acid, can easily penetrate the hair and prevent any loss of protein. As you well know, proteins are the basis of good hair. And if you apply coconut oil on your hair, you should also apply it on your eyebrows. You can also add some ashwagandha root powder with coconut oil to make the hair root stronger.
- Take a few drops of coconut oil and massage the eyebrows gently with the fingertips.
- Massage improves blood circulation, which helps promote hair growth.
- Leave it all night.
- Rinse with warm water the next morning.
- Continue this for a few months and you will notice the difference.
3. Olive Oil:
You can also use olive oil to thicken your eyebrows. Like coconut oil, olive oil has a fatty acid called oleic acid, which can penetrate the root of the eyebrows and set moisture. It is also rich in vitamin E, which helps promote hair growth by stimulating hair growth. When the capillaries are healthy, blood circulation increases. This is good to promote healthy and strong hair growth.
- Take a few drops of olive oil and gently massage the eyebrows.
- You can leave it overnight or wash it after 30 minutes of application.
- Alternatively, you can mix olive oil and a few drops of honey. Massage for a couple of minutes.
- Wash with warm water.
- Doing any of these exercises once a day will improve the growth of your eyebrows.
4. Onion Juice:
Not only are they part of a healthy diet, onions are also excellent for hair growth. The onion is rich in antioxidants and sulfur flavonols, an essential mineral in hair. In a study in patients with alopecia areata, onion juice was applied to the scalp and areas where hair growth was minimal were massaged. After following this method twice a day for 4 to 6 weeks, 86.9% of the participants experienced a new hair growth. If alopecia areata is the reason behind the hair of your thin eyebrow, get an onion therapy.
- Crush an onion and extract the juice.
- Massage this juice over the eyebrows for 5 minutes.
- Let it dry on its own.
- Wash it with cold water.
- This can be done twice a day for a month.
5. Egg Yolk:
“Eggs are rich in protein and hair needs protein for growth”.
While egg yolk does not have as much protein as egg white, it has a considerable amount of vitamin D, which is also essential for hair health. Egg yolk also contains some sulfur.
- Break an egg and separate the yolk from its white. Be sure to use only the egg yolk.
- Beat the yolk until you get a creamy consistency.
- Take a cotton swab and apply it on the eyebrows.
- Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wash with cold water.
- You can do this twice a week.
6. Fenugreek Seeds:
In Unani, fenugreek seeds are known for their ability to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. They are rich in proteins, as well as in nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) and lecithin that promote healthy hair growth.
- Soak some fenugreek seeds overnight or at least for 5 hours.
- Grind them until you get a thick paste.
- Add coconut oil or almond oil to the pasta.
- Apply this paste on the eyebrows before bedtime.
- Wash the next morning with warm water.
- You can repeat this two or three times a week.
7. Milk:
This is probably the simplest remedy. Milk contains protein and other nutrients that can help with healthy hair growth.
- Drink some milk in a clean bowl.
- Dip a cotton swab in it and clean it on each eyebrow.
- Let the milk dry on its own.
- Rinse with warm water.
- This can be done as often as you want.
8. Aloe Vera:
The aloe vera has moisturizing properties that benefit hair follicles and help the healthy growth of hair. Try using the aloe vera plant instead of the aloe vera gel found in stores.
- Squeeze the gel from an aloe vera leaf.
- Gently massage the gel on the eyebrows.
- Leave on for 30 minutes.
- Rinse with warm water.
- You can also prepare a paste by mixing aloe vera with coconut oil or a few drops of honey.
- For significant results, continue with this for several weeks.
9. Lemon:
Lemons can also help with good eyebrow growth due to their rich vitamin C content.
- Cut a lemon into slices. Take a piece and rub it on each of your eyebrows.
- Leave the juice for a couple of minutes.
- Rinse with warm water.
- You can use this treatment once a day to improve the growth of your eyebrows.
Along with these natural remedies, it is important to get a balance of the correct vitamins and minerals that are generally important for hair growth. Eating healthy is also an important aspect for hair growth. Eat foods rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, iron, omega-3 fats and proteins. If you develop an allergic reaction to any of the mentioned remedies, do not continue the treatment. If the reaction worsens, consult your doctor immediately. It is always good to do a patch test before proceeding with the treatment.
