    Eyebrow makeup is a quick solution that can help enhance the appearance of your brows temporarily. Another option is a brow tint, which dyes your brows for 4-6 weeks. For a long-term solution, try microblading, which is basically a temporary tattoo under your brows that lasts up to 30 months.

    Just using natural products that don't have any harsh chemicals is going to go a long way. Anything synthetic or abrasive is going to keep your eyebrows from growing out.

    Start with a lighter pencil and stay inside of your hairline. If you start to shade outside of your brow, it'll start to look fake, but if it's inside the hairline, then it'll look a lot more natural.

    I highly recommend microblading. Microblading cuts little tiny cuts into your skin and actually helps to regenerate hair growth. You can actually grow your hair back that way.

    Coconut oil soothes hair follicles and hydrates hair. You can't force follicles to grow hair, but coconut oil does provide a soothing, pleasant environment that encourages growth.

    Do I have to wash the castor oil with a cleanser, or can I rinse it with warm water instead?

    Warm water or a very gentle cleanser works. Make sure you are gentle, because when moisturized and wet, the skin is more fragile. Always be cautious, as skin types vary.

  • Question
    My eyebrows are very light and people keep asking me if I have eyebrows and feeling my face. How do I prevent this?
    Community Answer
    You don't need to change your look if you're happy with your brows. If you want thicker brows, you can use an eyebrow pencil or other make up to make them appear darker or thicker. You can do this with or without a stencil. If they've been over-plucked, you can let them grow out. Massage your brows gently with any type of oil (depending on your skin type) to promote growth.
