Q&A for How to Get Thicker Lashes

Coconut oil hydrates and protects lashes, which helps maximize their growth. It solidifies at room temperature so it stays on lashes better than most other oils.

Applying an oil like olive or coconut to your lashes before bed will help strengthen them. Wearing conditioning mascara can also help plump and lengthen your lashes.

There are many oils that are good for lashes, including argan, olive, coconut, and macadamia. Argan and coconut are also good for skin and are less likely to cause breakouts than heavier oils.

Vaseline forms a protective coating over your lashes that holds in the natural oils but it can also clog hair follicles, reducing growth. Vaseline is most effective if applied in a light layer over a thin layer of oil.

The best way to grow thicker lashes is to use a lash growth serum that prolongs the anagen (or growth) phase of the lash hair.

No, trimming your eyelashes is not a good idea.

I would say it takes a good month or two to really see results. Growing lashes takes time!

Use coconut oil, avoid excessive brushing, and use the inversion method (flip head upside down and gently massage for 4 - 5 minutes).

It may not work and could potentially harm your eyes. Just buy some new oil.

Any of these should help. If it's an emergency, try mascara or fake lashes.

You have to do it because the warm water cleanses your pores a lot better than cold water will.

You should start by holding the wand as close to the roots of the eye lashes as you can and wiggling it upward. This will help ensure each lash is covered. Let the mascara dry for about 10 seconds, and then reapply.

It depends on what cream you use. If you use body/face cream or lotion, it won't work. If you use creams that are meant to help lash growth, then it's fine.

You can use it as a lip gloss. It can also be used for hair growth and shine and to reduce signs of aging to the skin. Coconut oil is another product with similar benefits.

First of all, stop using it. Take a break and wait for your eyelashes to grow again. You might be having a bad reaction to coconut oil. You can try olive oil and see how that works for you.

It's not necessarily bad, but your vision will temporarily be a bit blurry if your get it in your eyes.

Castor oil is a great for getting thicker hair. It typically takes around 3 months to see effective results, but it definitely does promote hair growth by making the hair strands thicker.

No, it shouldn't harm your lashes.

Vaseline will take a lot longer to achieve what castor oil does, but many people use it with stunning results.

This could be caused by dry skin, so I recommend moisturizing your face twice a day, including around the edges of your eyes (using very little moisturizer, and being careful not to get it in your eyes). I would suggest avoiding fake lashes or mascara as those kinds of things could make the dryness worse.

It's not ideal, but it won't permanently hurt you. If you end up getting castor oil in your eyes, rinse your eyes out with cool water for about 1 minute. It might sting for a little while, but your eyes will be fine.

Yes, avocado oil will help hydrate your lashes, which can help them grow. Swipe the oil onto a clean mascara wand, then gently brush it into your lashes before you go to bed.
