Things You Should Avoid Doing
Some of your habits might lead to losing your eyebrow hair, and this could be anything from over plucking to using any bad product on them. Here are things you should avoid if you want thicker and fuller eyebrows:
- Avoid a lot of eyebrow makeup: If you use a lot of makeup on your eyebrows, it can sometimes inhibit the hair growth. The continuous and hard stroke of pencil or brush in the brow disturbs the hair follicles, leaving you with thin, sparse eyebrows. If you still like filling in your brows then do so with a softer pencil and fill them in every single day. Strictly avoid harsh brow makeup products such as brow hair dye.
- Avoid lotions and creams: Applying lotions and creams may be doing more harm than good. This is because they can clog up the hair follicles, leaving no room for your hair to breath which prevents them from growing to their full potential. Only use the ones that help the brows and strictly avoid normal body lotions and creams in the brows. Use Vaseline or serums in this area instead.
- Avoid dry skin in the brow area:Dry skin slows down the growth of hair, so you have to keep the skin in the brow region moisturized so that it is nurtured enough to grow hair. But don't use your normal face cream or moisturizer as these clog pores. Use a very light cream instead and clean it off after applying, so hair follicles don't get clogged. Applying a good moisturizer will not only nourish the skin to grow hair faster, but it will also strengthen the brow hair as the skin here works just like your scalp.
- Avoid over plucking your brow hair: When you wax or pluck hair, again and again, it starts damaging the hair follicle. If you do it enough times, this damage can be permanent which means the hair will not grow back ever again. So avoid over plucking at all costs. If you have already done this, then stop immediately and just try natural methods discussed above to make the hair grow back naturally.
