1) Castor oil

One of the most trusted remedies by experts for hair growth and skincare is castor oil. It contains 90% ricinoleic acid which helps in reducing hair loss, thus can aid in increasing lash thickness also. It has been used for ages to treat skin burns, remove wrinkles, and stop your hair from premature greying. It works wonders as it can accelerate hair growth five times as compared to any other ingredient.

The right application technique would be to use cold-pressed castor oil and a spoolie brush or cotton swabs. Clean your eyes well before applying the oil with a mild cleanser and pat them dry. Apply the oil on the upper and lower lash line before going to bed every day, taking care that it does not enter the eye. Wash it in the morning. Simple isn’t it? It is best to seek professional advice before trying this remedy as sometimes using castor oil can cause extreme dryness.

2) Coconut oil

Coconut oil has deep penetrating powers trapping the protein; thus, it aids in providing moisture to the skin and hair. The fatty acid component present in coconut oil helps to treat the thin and damaged lashes preventing them from falling. 

Clean your lashes with a mild soap before you head towards your bed. Dip a mascara wand or cotton swabs into extra virgin coconut oil and apply it onto your lashes and wash it in the morning. This procedure will provide conditioning to your lashes, preventing them from falling, adding tons of volume to your lashes. You can try the same with olive oil instead.

3) Petroleum Jelly or Vaseline

Vaseline is an excellent moisturizer; we use it wholeheartedly for our dry lips and skin in the winters. This characteristic makes Vaseline apt for application on the lash line. It keeps the lash line soft and hydrated and is excellent to ward off lash mites, thus ensuring that there is no further damage. You can apply it during the day or at night. If you use it during the day before applying eye make-up like mascara, it will assist in easy removal and will prevent the lashes from becoming dry and brittle.

4) Massage and Vitamin E oils

Regular massage of the scalp is essential for the health of the hair and strength of the roots; the lash hair is no exception. Regular massage for 2 to 3 mins around the eye area accelerates blood circulation, which is required for thick, strong, and long lashes.

If you use Vitamin E oil by breaking a Vitamin E pill rather than your cream or regular oils, the effect would be more pronounced. Vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidation agent that can aid in hair loss by minimizing oxidative damage. Massage this oil gently with your fingertips or apply using a spoolie brush. Witness the wonders of this marvelous tonic in the form of thick and long lashes.

5) Green Tea

Add this benefit of green tea to the list of innumerable advantages you have read so far for this much-loved drink. Green tea contains flavonoids and a polyphenol called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) which stimulates hair growth. You can improve the length and volume of your lashes by drinking green tea twice a day and applying cooled down green tea on your lashes. You can place a green tea bag on your eyes to relieve stress or dab the liquid on the lashes using a cotton swab.

6) Shea Butter

Shea Butter is rich in Vitamin C along with being a strong anti-oxidation agent. It has intense hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties as well. This is why Shea butter works wonders in fulfilling your wish to have long, fluttery lashes. 

The nutrients in Shea butter prevent the lash from free radical damage and boost the production of collagen. These properties suffice to provide beautiful long lashes. Rub Shea butter between your fingers till it melts before applying it well on your upper and lower lashes. Leave it overnight and rinse it well in the morning.

7) Biotin supplements

Biotin deficiency is perceived as one of the root causes of hair loss, thus causing lash or eyebrow hair fall. Biotin means Vitamin B7 which is found in abundance in spinach and eggs. If all the remedies fail to work, consult your healthcare provider before you start consuming biotin pills for the right dosage. This will thicken your lash hair making them look fuller.
