For accelerated growth of eyebrows and eyelashes, experts recommend using cosmetic oils that nourish the roots, strengthen the hair follicle and stimulate the appearance of new hairs. Usually, only one oil is used or medical mixtures are made on the basis of several components. The most popular burdock, castor and olive oils.
Operating principle
What only women today do not resort to make your look more expressive! Eyelash extensions, their perm and the use of lengthening mascara - only a small part of the procedures from the arsenal of the modern beauty industry.
With eyebrows, the situation is no better - the fashion for their shape and size is changing rapidly. A few years ago, beautiful ladies diligently plucked out all the hairs, trying to give the eyebrows the shape of a thread, and today, in a trend, there are completely different eyebrows - thickened and thick.
Abuse of perm, dyeing and plucking leads to the fact that hairs simply stop growing, become brittle, fragile and dull. However, this is not the only reason for their pain. Sometimes the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes is hampered by the banal lack of vitamins and microelements in the body, as well as stress and chronic fatigue - all these signs are familiar to any resident of the metropolis with its insane rhythm of life and lack of time for proper nutrition and quality rest.
If you plan to grow eyelashes and eyebrows, then the first thing you need to start is to minimize the use of decorative cosmetics, since any make-up only weakens the hair and causes hair loss. Chemical dyeing should be particularly avoided, since such dyes create an obstacle to the access of nutrients to the hairs, but if it is not possible to get away from dyeing, you should certainly use special oils.
Cosmetologists recommend applying olive, burdock or castor oil. In addition, high-performance complex compositions are combined with various masks and massage.
Such mixtures are a real storehouse of vitamins., which are useful for skin and hair, so the cilia with eyebrows significantly improve their structure. Eyelash is the same hair, only slightly thicker, rather stiff and short. They grow as a result of dividing the bulb. When a young hair matures, the old one begins to fall out and this process continues throughout life. As the hair, cilia and eyebrows over time begin to dim, weaken and become more rare. This occurs as a result of adverse external factors. Applying oils actively stimulates the hair, nourishes the skin of the eyelids, fills it with minerals and fatty acids and, as a result, leads to the appearance of new cells. This accelerates the emergence of new eyelashes, they become much more dense and thick.
Which is better to choose?
All oil products of plant origin are similar in composition. They contain quite a lot of polyunsaturated acids, a wide variety of biologically active elements and vitamins, the use of each of which is beyond doubt.Nevertheless, there are a few care products that for many decades have proven their highest effectiveness in the struggle for the growth and volume of eyelashes.
Castor
The oil extracted from castor beet seeds, even the ancient ancestors used as a therapeutic agent that helps with many ailments, including with strong hair loss and eyelashes. The structure of the oil includes stearic, essential oleic and linoleic acids, as well as palmitic and ricinoleic.
Castor oil has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, healing and bactericidal action. When using the drug, regenerative processes are stimulated, the metabolism in the follicles is accelerated, so the eyelashes become noticeably thicker.
Trace elements in the composition of the oil nourish and moisturize the eyelids, strengthen their structure and prevent premature hair loss.
Burdock
Burdock oil is obtained from burdock root. This composition contains a very valuable component - inulin - a natural polysaccharide, which allows you to maintain metabolic processes in the cells and stimulates the strengthening of hair follicles. The oil contains vitamins A and E, as well as copper, calcium, chromium and iron, polyunsaturated acids and flavonoids.
Burdock oil for many decades is considered the number one tool for the treatment of weak and brittle eyelashes, especially it is effective after salon dyeing and curling hairs, which significantly damage the structure of cilia.
The effect of the use of oil becomes noticeable after a couple of weeks after the start of treatment.
Almond
This drug is obtained by cold pressing of bitter almond seed. It is usually used not in its pure form, but in combination with castor oil and burdock oil. The composition includes a large amount of vitamin E and B2. They are responsible for the strength and strength of the hair - with a deficit of these elements, the hair grows dull and begins to fall.
It is noteworthy that almond oil does not leave any greasy marks, so it is often used to remove makeup. By the way, a pleasant bonus for women after using it will be improving the elasticity of the eyelid skin and reducing the number and depth of wrinkles.
Olive
This means women began to use in cosmetology in the days of ancient Greece. The composition of the product includes fatty acids, and the concentration of omega-3 and -6 reaches 80%. It is this substance contributes to leveling the adverse effects of decorative cosmetics to a greater extent than all other elements.
Sea buckthorn
The benefits of sea buckthorn are known to all. This plant contains high concentrations of vitamin C, the number of which in the composition is second only to the hips. Together with carotenoids, this substance nourishes and moisturizes each cilium, makes them softer and more fluffy, and also stimulates the growth of new hairs and prevents their loss.
Peach and linseed oil, as well as the product obtained from wheat germ, have good efficacy. The choice of a particular oil depends only on personal preferences and individual characteristics of the eyelid skin.
How to use?
To make the use of oils as effective as possible, when applying them, you should follow several rules:
- processing of eyelashes is best done in the evening, preferably before bedtime;
- It is recommended to apply oils only on eyelids and eyelashes skin cleared of dirt and residues of decorative cosmetics;
- It is best to use a toothbrush or a brush from an old mascara for processing, some also use a cotton swab, but it is rather difficult to follow the necessary dosages with it;
- oil formulations are applied only on the hairs themselves, no need to process the skin - as the impregnation impregnates, they will “find the way” to the root zone;
- do not leave the drug on all night - 30-50 minutes after its application, the remnants of the drug should be blotted with a napkin.
The course of medical procedures should be carried out within 15-30 days, in severely neglected cases, it can be extended to 60 days. The frequency of procedures should be 2 times a week. Keep the oil should be in a cool place, but before using it is slightly heated.
Keep in mind that any essential vegetable oils often cause individual intolerance and an allergic reaction, so a test should be carried out before use. To do this, a small amount of the product should be applied to the skin of the wrists and hold for half an hour. If during this time there was no itching and redness, then you can safely apply the composition to the eyelashes and eyebrows.
How to cook the oil mixture at home?
Not only pure oils, but also mixtures of several components have high efficiency.
Cosmetologists advise to use a mixture of castor oil, aloe juice and vitamin A - such a composition activates all the hair follicles and improves the growth of new hairs. To compose a complex of care all the components are mixed in the same proportions.
Another vitamin mask is obtained by mixing the essential oil, fish oil and solutions of vitamins A and E. Due to the presence of tocopherol, the hair follicles are nourished and their structure is restored.
The mixture based on castor oil or peach kernels with carrot juice has worked well. If desired, you can add parsley juice to the composition. After the first week of using this mask, eyelashes and eyebrows become thicker and stronger.
Reviews
Numerous reviews of women who use cosmetic cosmetics for eyelashes, talk about the exceptional usefulness of the compositions and their pronounced effectiveness. Already after 10-14 days after using such oils, the look becomes much more expressive, the density of eyelashes increases dramatically, and the hairs themselves become more dense, but at the same time soft. In order for the procedures to have a greater effect, they need to be carried out for at least a month and a half in a row, otherwise the effect will be short-lived and after a while the eyelashes will again become dull, brittle and rare.
Another tip - do not completely stop the procedure. After the end of the main course, you need to switch to the mode of preventive support - in this case, the composition should be applied to the hairs 2-3 times a month.
As reviews show, oil formulations are more benign than hormonal hormones popular in our time. And this is easily explained - if you abruptly stop the population of the latter, it will provoke a backlash - the condition of the hair will worsen and they may even begin to fall out. In the case of oils such a reaction will not. In the worst case, the hairs will simply return to their original state and features of growth. That is why experts and recommend supporting maintenance treatments.

The disadvantages are primarily due to improper use of the compositions. So, when oil gets into the eyes, severe mucosal irritation occurs, the eyes turn red, swell and painful sensations appear.
A very important factor that may limit the use of a particular prescription is the probability of individual intolerance.If you noted that when using the drug, a burning sensation and significant discomfort appear in the eyes, then it is better to quickly wash off the composition, and then buy another oil. If after applying the drug began to deteriorate eyesight, you should immediately contact an ophthalmologist.
