If you have thin and sparse eyelashes, you probably want to make them longer and thicker. Full eyelashes can draw attention to your gorgeous eyes without the need for mascara. To keep your eyelashes long and thick, handle the area gently. Avoid using false eyelashes because the glue can remove your natural hairs when you take them off. If you suspect a medical problem is causing you to lose eyelashes, consult your physician.
Step 1
Eat a well-balanced diet. Encourage healthy hair growth in all parts of your body, including the eyelashes, by eating a diet high in iron, protein, vitamin A and the B vitamins. Foods high in these nutrients include fish, chicken, turkey, green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, peppers and dairy products.
Step 2
Take a hair growth supplement. If you are worried that you are not getting enough nutrients for proper eyelash growth from food sources, try a supplement. Look for supplements designed specifically for healthy skin, hair and nails.
Step 3
Massage a small amount of vitamin E oil onto your eyelashes each night before bed. Use small strokes and glide your fingers gently over the area.
Step 4
Make an appointment with a doctor to inquire about a prescription for Latisse. Latisse is an FDA-approved topical treatment for eyelash growth. You apply the solution once a day to the eyelids using disposable applicators. You should notice that your eyelashes look longer in as little as six months. A physician directory is available through the Latisse website (see Resources).
Tips and Warnings
- Wash your hands before applying any type of topical treatment to the eyelashes. This can help prevent eye infections. To make your eyelashes look longer when doing your makeup, apply an eyelash primer coat before your mascara.
