Ok babes, let’s be real for a second—eyebrows are like, a total vibe. They legit have the power to give your face structure, expression, and they even give out “don’t mess with me” energy when shaped right. But let’s be honest: eyebrow growth can be such a pain, right? Like, who has the patience to wait centuries for those brow hairs to grow back after that one overplucking incident (I feel your struggle)? 😩 Or maybe your brows are just getting really slow when growing back, which leaves you with sparse or patchy areas.
Girl, I GOT YOU.
Today, we’re gonna talk about how to make your eyebrows grow faster naturally, aka how to get those fleeky Instagram-worthy brows without having to fill them in every single morning. No shade to brow pencils and gels, but if we can make these brows naturally fuller for the long term, why not? 💁♀️
Let’s jump into this brow-volution, sis!
The Brows Need Some TLC: Why aren’t my brows growing faster?
Okay, so first things first: Why are your brows taking their sweet time in the first place? Well, it could be a number of things. Overplucking, genetics, skin conditions, or even gasp your skincare products might be sabotaging your eyebrow growth game. Harsh skincare products and makeup that clog your pores are not helping.
Brow hair growth is like any other hair on your body: It depends on stuff like hormones, your diet, and how you care for them. And guess what boo, eyebrows only grow around 0.16 millimeters a day. Yup! So, if it feels like it’s slower than a snail’s race, that’s probs why.
BUT don’t stress, babe, there are some super easy ways to speed things up naturally!
1. Castor Oil Babe
Starting with one of the most talked-about beauty secrets of the century (okay probs a slight exaggeration): castor oil. Yeah, this stuff has been hyped up forever. And for good reason!
Castor oil is rich in Vitamin E, proteins, and essential fatty acids that can nurture your hair follicles. Massaging a bit into your brows once or twice a day helps promote faster growth by improving circulation and strengthening the hair you already got going on.
Literally just put a drop of castor oil on a clean mascara wand or cotton swab and gently run it over your brows. Let it sit overnight (yep, you can sleep with it) and then wash it off in the morning.
This brow hack has been around forever for a reason!
Don’t expect like, INSTANT, Cara Delevingne brows (I wish that was a thing). But do it regularly, and thank me later, sis!
2. Coconut Oil = Brow Bestie
Coconut oil isn’t just for cooking or beach vacay vibes—it’s your brow’s new BFF. 🌴 It’s rich in lauric acid, and peppermint oil helps to keep those brow follicles healthy and happy!
Clinical studies (or my vibes, take your pick) show that natural oils, like coconut oil, stimulate hair growth. So, it makes sense to use it on your brows too.
Warm a bit of coconut oil in your palms if it’s solid and slather it gently onto your brow area. You can apply it at night, just like castor oil. Or if you’re feeling EXTRA, you can leave it on during the day for that glossy brow look—because why not?
3. Stop Over-Plucking (Seriously Girl)
I get it, I really do! Eyebrows should totally each have their own personality, but maybe put the tweezers down? Overplucking can traumatize the hair follicles on your brows, causing them to stop growing—or worse, hair might stop producing altogether. 😭
Dial it back on the plucking sis! Like, just let some of those stray hairs live their best life for a couple of months. Instead of super-clean brows, maybe opt for a more natural, bushy look while they grow out.
💡 PRO TIP: Trim, don’t pluck! If any ends are too long or unruly—SNIP, SNIP. Don’t yank them out from the root!
4. Exfoliation is Key
Yes boo, you heard me, exfoliation is bae—not just for your face but also for getting those brows to grow faster! When you gently exfoliate your brow area, you slough off dead skin cells that block your hair follicles. A clean area = better hair growth, making room for those new hairs underneath to break free.
Just take a soft brush (an old toothbrush works, no joke) or use a gentle exfoliant and massage in circular motions over your brows like 2-3 times a week!
Table Time: Natural Oils vs. Serums for Brow Growth
Check out this table for the tea between using natural oils (like castor or coconut oil) vs. store-bought brow serums.
| Natural Oils | Brow Serums |
|---|---|
| Use straight from nature 🌱 | Specially formulated 💊 |
| 100% chemical-free, organic feels | Might have unpronounceable ingredients |
| Affordable, probs already in your kitchen 🧖♀️ | Kinda pricy sometimes |
| Takes patience but works long-term | Claims faster results |
| Can sleep in them, no prob | Sometimes can irritate skin |
Honestly, serums can be great, but why spend $$$ when you can get similar results naturally? If you genuinely want to go the natural way, the oils are where it’s at, babes.
5. Aloe Vera Gel for the Win
You know that soothing, cooling gel your mom smacked on your sunburns? Yeah, that’s your new brow treatment! Aloe vera is anti-inflammatory aka perfect for those skin bumps, and it’s also full of enzymes that nourish hair follicles and promote growth.
Slice up some fresh aloe or use organic aloe vera gel (the clear kind—not the weird colorful ones in plastic bottles). Rub a small amount onto your brows, and let it dry completely before rinsing it off. Repeat daily for bomb brows.
6. Feed Your Brows—Literally! 🌱🍴
Okay, eyebrows won’t grow well if your body isn’t getting the right nutrients—period. Vitamins like Biotin, Vitamin B12, D, E, etc., can all impact hair growth. If your body is lacking in these, your hair (including your eyebrows) won’t grow as quickly as you want them to.
To fill up on nutrients that make your brows looooove you, try munching on things like:
- Eggs (hello, Biotin!)
- Avocados 🥑
- Sweet potatoes
- Spinach
- Fatty fish like salmon
- Nuts (especially almonds)
Eating foods rich in vitamins is like giving your eyebrows premium fuel to grow, grow, grow!
7. Stop Touching Your Brows Obsessively
I see you, sis. You’ve got your mirror out and you’re constantly checking on your brows, massaging them, combing them, and trying to make them appear overnight. But like, stop! Touching and playing with your eyebrows too much can cause hair loss due to stress and breakage. So as hard as it is, resist the urge to poke those fluffy little hairs during growth periods.
Let them thrive in peace, okay?
8. Drink More Water, Girl! 💦
Chug that H20 because dehydration can impact your skin AND hair growth, especially around the brow area. Keeping your skin hydrated helps hair follicles work their magic. And it doesn’t hurt that drinking water gives you glowy skin for dayssss. 🥤✨
9. Brow Massages Are Low-Key Fire
MASSAGE those brows, but in a cute way! Massaging your brow area helps increase blood circulation and naturally stimulates growth.
You don’t need anything fancy—just use your fingertips and massage in circular motions for a few minutes. You can even pair it with your oils, such as coconut or castor oil, to marry up the benefits!
10. Use Eyebrow Conditioners
Yes boo, just like we take care of our scalp and hair with conditioners, your brows need extra hydration and conditioning too! Some companies offer specific brow conditioners, but even a tiny swipe of your regular hair conditioner might do the trick.
It’s the little things, people. No one says you have to invest hundreds. Just a dab’ll do.
OMG! If you made it this far, you’re already on the way to thicker, lusher brows. 💁♀️ Just remember babes, patience is your friend! You won’t wake up tomorrow with perfect brows (unless magic is real, and I want a genie too). But using these natural methods will have you flaunting fuller, healthier eyebrows in no time!
