How to Make Eye Lashes Grow

Getting fuller eyelashes naturally can save you a lot of money on expensive makeup and beauty tools. Eyelash curlers, fake eyelashes, and mascara are a few examples of products used to enhance the eyelashes. You can use several products and techniques to help stimulate eyelash growth. In the meantime, treat your eyelashes gently to avoid losing hair in the area. For example, avoid using fake eyelashes, since the glue applied can take off your natural eyelashes when the fake ones are removed.

Step 1

Eat the foods required to promote hair growth. A well-balanced diet can help promote hair growth in all parts of your body, including the eyelashes. The B vitamins, protein and vitamin C can all help grow your eyelashes. You can get these nutrients from green leafy vegetables, milk, fish, chicken, citrus fruits and nuts.

Step 2

Take a hair growth formula supplement. If you don't get enough of the nutrients required to grow your eyelashes from food sources, you can use a hair growth vitamin supplement. One example you can try is Hair Energizer Vitamin Supplement.

Step 3

Keep your eyelashes well moisturized. Make sure you drink enough water, as much as 6 to 8 glasses per day. You can also moisturize the area by coating an eyelash brush in a small amount of olive oil. Apply the olive oil nightly to your eyelashes.

Step 4

Use an over-the-counter eyelash growth product. LiLash is an over the counter eyelash growth simulator that is applied on a daily basis as a liquid eyeliner.

Step 5

Talk to your doctor about using a prescription eyelash growth treatment. Latisse is currently the only FDA-approved prescription based product for eyelash growth. One time per day, you use a disposable applicator to place the solution on the base of your eyelashes. As early as 8 weeks, you should notice results.

Tips and Warnings

  • Certain medical conditions and prescription drugs can cause thinning hair. Speak to your doctor if you suspect that this could be the cause of your thinning eyelashes.
