How To Grow Thick Eyebrows
Thick and well-shaped eyebrows can enhance your look while thin and sparse eyebrows can make you look even older and dull. Many people have thin eyebrows because of over plucking, waxing, nutritional deficiencies, poor cosmetic application or medical conditions. Sometimes, thin eyebrows occur as a result of the aging process as well.
To solve the thin eyebrow problem, consider doing the following things:
- Stop plucking: The hardest, yet easiest way to get brows growing back is to simply stop plucking or waxing at least for a period of three months or more, depending on your individual hair growth rate. This is because; over plucking the eyebrows can lead to sparse and unattractive eyebrow. But beyond this, plucking hair leaves your pores open and as such vulnerable to potential harmful bacteria or infection. Also, plucking too much damages your follicles. Follicles are responsible for generating hair growth. So you want to be careful how you pluck if you want to maintain a health full eyebrow hair.
- Exfoliate Your Eyebrow: It’s important to remember to exfoliate your eyebrows always. Use a brow scrub product of your choice which removes dead skin cells under and around the brows to enable easy hair growth through the skin. When you exfoliate, the skin underneath your brow finds it easy to breathe in air which encourage smooth circulation and new growth.

The sulfur content in onion juice helps to achieve that. More-so, it has anti-bacterial properties which prevent growth of fungi and bacteria on scalps of the brow affected by plucking. Onion juice also strengthens hair and prevents thinning and breakage.
