There is no limit on the reasons you might want to grow out your eyebrow hair. You may have over-plucked them until they are too thin, you may want to go for a thicker style, or you may have a disorder that makes it difficult to growing your eyebrow hair. The average time it takes to completely re-grow eyebrows is six to eight weeks, but there are a number of ways to stimulate the process and grow eyebrow hair quickly.
Grow Eyebrow Hair
Step 1
Stop plucking or waxing altogether, including the little rogue hairs. Plucking and waxing can damage the hair follicle and prevent future growth, so it is important to stop now if you want to grow your eyebrows out.
Step 2
Eat foods high in B-vitamins, iron and antioxidants, such as whole grains, leafy greens and blueberries. Avoid refined foods, too many red meats, coffee and tobacco.
Step 3
Drink six to eight glasses of water each day and exercise 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
Step 4
Take a multivitamin, vitamin C, L-lysine, Melatonin and Omega-3 fatty acids to help hair grow quicker.
Step 5
Apply olive oil, petroleum jelly or castor oil to the eyebrows with a cotton swab or cotton ball in order to strengthen the hair and enhance growth.
Step 6
Apply an eyebrow stimulator daily, as directed. There are many products on the market; LiBrow, Brow Boost, and Renew Eyebrow are just a few (see Resources).
Tips and Warnings
- Only pluck the hairs that pop up outside of the eyebrow line itself.
- Keep all products coming in contact with or near your eyes clean and sterile. Read and follow the directions on any eyebrow growth stimulator product to achieve the best results.
