How to grow longer lashes
Hi everyone,
I have no lower lashes!! Seriously though when I look, there are like two hairs and they're so thin and unnoticeable. Even when I put mascara on it, it's still hardly noticeable. I've heard of these hundred-dollar lash hair growers but I'm still skeptical about purchasing those since the price tag is so steep. Anyone know how to grow out my lash hair long and thick?? Thanks!!

Re: How to grow longer lashes
You might want to look into the product mentioned here. Seems like an honest review.

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I've been using Talika Lipocils sometimes up to 3 times a day for the past 6 weeks and my lashes have definitely grown. You need to stick to it though and not use it one day here and one day there.
I can see a distinct difference on my lower lashes as well as my top. I apply it using a cotton bud directly onto my lashline and along the bottom lashes.
I just bought Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator to try in comparison. It was only about $3. I haven't opend it yet so can't give an opinion.
Castor oil is another lash growth stimulant too.

I tried the Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator and it doesn't work for me. I've heard about castor oil. Where can I get it?

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I just saw a commercial for a product called Latisse that is an FDA-approved lash grower. It is prescription only though, and the side effects sound terrible. Try looking into that!

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I can tell you from personal experience that Lilash works. Its a Holy Grail item for me now. Also, our very own Femmefatale reviews it on her blog at Belle Du Jour

Re: How to grow longer lashes
so my plan is: castor oil for 30 days. and if that doesnt work....Mavala. And then...Lipocils! we should start a Lash Growth Challenge thread!
edit: oh well did my research...castor oil made some ppl lose all their lashes...sigh.

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I'd reccomend product called Herbal Balm from Saje. Its a multiuse balm, it helps moisturize nails and make them grow longer, as well as can be used on insect bites or cuts. It also helps promote lash growth. I've used it on my lashes and I've found a definite difference. My lashes have grown thicker and longer, especially more noticable on the bottom lids. Its all natural so no harmful chemicals in there is a plus~! I usually apply it after I wash my face at night, as well as in the morning if I'm not doing my makeup that day. xD Works great!

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I've been testing Lilash for about 6 or 7 weeks now and yes it really does work. I did have some side effects like redness, and light sensitivity the first 2 weeks. You just have to stick it out, the side effects went away with me. I also applied it to my lower lashes and I have noticed quite a bit of growth on the lower lashes too. You will start noticing results after about 4-8 weeks, depending on the person, but you have to be diligent with it, you won't see results at all for a while. I applied it once a day right before bed.

Re: How to grow longer lashes
If you cant afford the expensive ones you should get Ardell brow and lash growth. I have used it before and it really works! I didnt see a difference with my eyebrows but with my lashes it made a big difference. Whenever I put mascara on my bottom lashes I was totally amazed at how long they grew. I saw results after 2 weeks. You have to consistently apply it twice a day...AND do NOT get it in your eyes it stings! HTH!

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I have been using Ardell's lash growth product.. it works somewhat, although it does take a loooong time. I also like to use castor oil on my eyebrows (which made them grow back in when they were overplucked) and on my eyelash tips and this seems a good way to make them grow little itty bitty hairs

Re: How to grow longer lashes
you can use almond oil at nights put it in your lashes with a cotton bud and that's it! I saw a lot of improvement in about 15 days, believe me it really works

Re: How to grow longer lashes
CASTOR OIL!!! you WILL see results in only about 1 week! I dunno about lashes falling out, cuz everyone who i've heard of using it has worked!!!
I use it to grow my super sparse brows in too! It works SOOO fast! my bottom lashes touch my cheek now & my top ones touch my brow bone! People tell me I have the longest lashes they've seen. . . this is my secret! lol
It is an eye irritant so don't get it actually IN your eyes, but a lil on your lash line, or use an old clean mascara wand to apply it like mascara works FINE!
I get mine at the Health Food store, don't remember how much for a HUGE bottle, probably like $10-$15?! SOOO much more affordable than these hundreds of dollars ones and it works GREAT!
HTH

Re: How to grow longer lashes
I use leave-in conditioner spray on my lashes. I noticed they usually have the same ingredients as lash/brow treatments(just not in a gel-like clear mascara form), I just spray a clean mascra wand and carefully brush it through my lashes and my brows. I wouldn't say they are longer but they are for sure thicker and softer.

I saw castor oil on the CVS website. I'm thinking they should have it in the stores?
Buy CVS Castor Oil online at CVS.com
