Get thicker eyebrows with these Eyebrow growth serum DIY ideas without having to apply any chemicals. Check out the recipes below.
Lately, there is a new trend of fuller brows contrary to the 2000s when we all overplucked to stay with the trend of thin and pointed eyebrows. Though, there are many makeup techniques to make them look thick, like using mascara or eyebrow pencils but doing that every day does not seem feasible and takes away the natural look as well. Even when you try to grow them back, the hair follicles of the eyebrows might not be so active anymore after years of threading, waxing, and plucking. The best way to bring them back to life is by using some hair growth serums which makes the eyebrows grow faster and fuller.
While natural growth of the eyebrows can take up to 8 weeks, using eyebrow growth serums can show you results in just 2 weeks. Here are some eyebrow growth serum DIY ideas which are easy to make and will help you stay in the trend of bushy brows. You can store these serums in old mascara bottles or small airtight jars.
