You should provide your eyelashes with this oil.
Natural, long and voluminous eyelashes that amaze you with their length, vibrancy and spectacular volume: that is of course what we all want at Glamials. Although this is possible with a little help from lash lifting or eyelash extensions, you can also promote the growth of your eyelashes yourself with a lick of oil!
Castor oil
Castor oil is incredibly versatile and apparently you can also use it to give your eyelashes a boost. Not much scientific research has been done, but one study claims that the chemical compounds in the oil have the potential to reduce hair loss.
“Castor oil has been shown to stimulate hair growth of the eyebrows and eyelashes. However, it is greasy and there are also people who are allergic to it, but in general it works,” dermatologist Anna Guanche tells Greatist about its effect.
Doctor Michele Green is also convinced of the effectiveness of the oil. She shares that you can make your own eyelash serum from castor oil. Mix some aloe vera with the oil and apply it to your eyelashes before going to sleep. “This combination stimulates hair growth and makes lashes appear thicker,” says Green.
Coconut oil
You can also read a lot on the internet about the effect of coconut oil on the eyelashes. According to some, this oil will help you get longer eyelashes. However, not much research has yet been done into this.
Coconut oil does have a different, noteworthy effect on your eyelashes. A study shows that the oil prevents hair loss. Although it is not known whether it stimulates hair growth, it can help keep those lush lashes healthy, which can make your eyelashes look fuller.
