But here’s a word of caution: while there are several anecdotes on how this method worked for them, there’s no scientific evidence that backs up castor oil’s effect on eyebrow growth. If you’d like to give it a shot, it’s best to do a skin patch first to ensure you won’t have allergic reactions to it.

(5) Stay hydrated
Achieving your brow and hair goals isn’t all about the outside, but the inside too. You probably already know how drinking sufficient water is important for your body health, but what you might’ve missed out on is how it’s good for your hair growth too. No, water doesn’t make your hair grow faster, but the amount of hair you are growing at a certain time is influenced by your water intake.
Your hair follicles need sufficient water to grow out healthy hair. If you lack the water your body needs, your hair growth cycle will be affected. Your hair will feel dry and brittle and may even reach to a point where your follicles will stop producing hair. So if you want those brows and locks looking thick and lush, it’s time to increase your water intake.
Caring for your brows is akin to caring for your locks. While all these tips can help you enjoy thicker hair on your brows and scalp, don’t forget to embrace and celebrate your natural hair too.
