10 Home Remedies That Help You Grow Heavy Eyelashes

Aren’t there times when you are on your way to work and you notice a person with long, luscious, dark, and beautiful eyelashes? Or haven’t you heard stories of your friend’s boyfriend having beautiful eyelashes? Long and lifted eyelashes add much more definition to your face, making your face look fuller as your eyes look big and more rested.

When I think of long lashes, the images of Disney Princesses come to my head. Yes, some of you might also end up being reminded of the Kardashians. Longer lashes are all the rage these days and obviously, you want them too!

But what if we told you that rather than spending a huge amount at the aesthetician, you can grow your eyelashes longer naturally and gradually. These methods will take time to show results, and they will require little effort but lots of patience from your end. The growth cycle of eyelashes has three phases: catagen which is the dormant stage, telogen which is the shedding stage.

In the telogen phase, your eyelashes will shed naturally. Hence, the shedding of eyelashes is natural and normal. There is nothing to worry about if you notice some regular shedding of your lashes. However, if the pattern seems abnormal, you might want to consult with a dermatologist. The final phase of the growth cycle is called the anagen which is the growth phase. Here is when your lashes start growing.

Each growth cycle takes somewhere around three months; however, the duration may differ depending on your genetic and lifestyle factors. If you stay patient and indulge in some self-care, you will soon have long eyelashes too!

Vaseline

Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly moisturizes your eyelashes making them look luscious and aid in growth. All you have to do is take a little amount of Vaseline on your fingers and put it in your eyelashes before going to sleep. Make sure to wash your face in the morning, and remove any residue if left. For the best results, you must do this daily.

Olive Oil

As backed by some research studies, olive oil contains a phenolic complex called oleuropein which boosts hair growth. It is packed with essential fatty acids that stimulate growth and prevents shedding. Take a spare mascara wand, and use it to coat your eyelashes with olive oil daily before going to sleep.
