When it comes to your face, your eyebrows are EV-ERY-THING. They’re not just some facial feature they’re the feature. That’s exactly why Lauryn came up with our new BROW PEPTIDE.
Here are the facts: The shape and thickness of your eyebrows can completely transform your overall look. They frame your eyes, create symmetry, and bring balance to your face. Your makeup and skincare routine is not complete until your brows are SNATCHED.
But, let’s be real. Not everyone is born with thick, lush eyebrows. Some of us are working with naturally thin brows, and others may have experienced hair loss or over-plucking (those early 2000s trends weren’t kind to our beautiful brows).
Luckily, there is plenty you can do to get those model-level brows that are thick, long, full, and sculpted to perfection. That’s what we’re giving you the scoop on today. Here’s our full guide on getting bold brows:
How to Make Eyebrows Thicker, Fuller, and Longer
First, let’s talk about why thick eyebrows are such a vibe. Seriously, they are the feature most responsible for an overall youthful and refreshed look. Full, well-shaped brows draw attention to all your best features for an instant facelift. Let’s give them some credit. And let’s also give them some long overdue TLC.
Are Thick Eyebrows Attractive?
Heck yes, they are. Thick eyebrows aren’t just attractive they’re a full-on power move. Think about all the women who are absolutely killing it in the beauty game right now: they all have full, luscious brows.
From Cara Delevingne to Lily Collins, thick eyebrows are the statement beauty moment that screams confident, radiant, and sexy. Thin brows had their moment and even the celebs that once rocked those pencil lines like Christina Agulera and Beyonce have had a total brow transformation to embrace this new and improved look. So it’s safe to say that thick, well-groomed brows are here to stay.
So, the answer is yes thick eyebrows are not only attractive, but they’re also a sign of the youthful, modern look that everyone is chasing.
Is Getting Thicker Eyebrows Possible?
Absolutely. No matter if it’s from that damage or your current natural brow length, it’s 100% possible to bring those brows back to life.
The truth is, there’s actually a lot you can do from natural remedies and lifestyle changes to specialty products and brow treatments. Plus, beyond the “dos” there are some do-nots” that can be just as helpful.
We’ll get into all of it below. You just need the right plan and products and your #beautygoalds are will be clear in the mirror soon enough!
How to Get Thicker Eyebrows
Forget the 2000s and avoid over-plucking.
It sounds obvious, but seriously put the tweezers down. Over-plucking is one of the main reasons people end up with thin brows. Let your eyebrow hairs grow out, even if it feels messy at first.
You can always clean up the stray hairs. There’s no reason to pluck away your natural brow shape when you’re trying to get the bold brow look.
Eat nutrient-rich foods.
What you eat directly impacts the health of your hair, including your brows. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals, like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, can promote healthy hair growth.
So, load up on foods like salmon, eggs, nuts, and leafy greens to support your eyebrow hair growth. You don’t have to tell us twice, pesto salmon salad anyone?
Give your brows a therapeutic massage.
This might sound weird, but trust us it works. Massaging your brows can increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which can promote growth. Use your fingertips or even your face massager to gently massage your brow area for about five minutes each day.
Try using aloe vera gel in your nighttime routine.
Aloe vera isn’t just for sunburns. It’s also a fantastic home remedy for promoting hair growth. The enzymes in aloe vera can help nourish your brow hair, and the best part? It’s gentle enough to use daily. Simply apply a small amount of pure aloe vera gel to your brows and leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing. (You can let it sit while you do your bedtime ice rolling.)
Brush your brows daily to exfoliate.
This is such a good tip from Lauryn’s brow tech, Lindsay. Your brows are kind of an awkward place to exfoliate, so a lot of dead skin can build up there. This dead skin, of course, can block follicles and prevent proper hair growth. So, taking a brush to your brows daily with an eyebrow brush or spoolie to exfoliate that skin and increase blood flow can be amazing for your brow goals.
Don’t underestimate tried-and-true castor oil treatments.
You’ve probably heard of this one before. Castor oil has been a beauty secret for decades, and for good reason. It’s packed with nutrients like vitamin E, fatty acids, and proteins that are essential for promoting healthy hair growth.
Just apply a small amount to your brows every night and let it work its magic on those sparse areas. Speaking of castor oil our BROW PEPTIDE is full of it. Because if an ingredient works THIS good, it has to be in a high-quality brow product. But our Brow Peptide isn’t only castor oil, no no no. Lauryn wanted a little something extra. So she added a peptide to help really nourish your brows and increase keratin production. If you want to learn more about how it works, this post is a must read.
Make brow peptide part of your daily beauty routine.
Speaking of high-quality brow products . . . a brow product should be just as essential to your beauty routine as your favorite face oil. If you’re serious about getting thicker brows, investing in a premium product like our BROW PEPTIDE is a game-changer. Plus, our Brow Peptide uses a super clean formula, which means there are no prostaglandin analogs which is a common ingredient used in many growth serums. It actually causes the fat around your brows to shrink, creating the opposite of plump, firm, youthful skin.
Remember, growth cycles take time be patient.
Eyebrow hair growth isn’t an overnight process. Your brows have a natural growth cycle that includes a shedding phase, so it’s really important you be patient. Stick to your routine and give it time. Results can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, but they will come.
Getting thick, full brows is easy with these tips and tricks.
We all know the importance of taking care of our skin and hair, but our eyebrows often don’t get the attention they deserve. If you want brows that are totally on trend (and not going anywhere) keep these tips in mind. Add them to your routine and stay consistent with your Brow Peptide.
