How to Enhance Eyelash Growth
Growing long, thick and full eyelashes can be challenging. Some obstacles to eyelash growth include eye makeup ingredients that damage the eyelash follicles. People who have eyelash picking habits also may have a difficult time growing healthy eyelashes. Eyelashes--which can take an average of seven to eight weeks to regrow after falling out--need to be nourished and pampered. You should take the time to properly care for your eyelashes by using quality products and special eyelash tools to enhance growth. Does this Spark an idea?

Gently remove any eye makeup, false eyelashes and mascara to prevent hairs from sticking together. Eyelashes grow out more efficiently when free of makeup ingredients that can strip the eyelashes of luster and moisture. Eyelashes that are stripped of moisture are susceptible to dryness, which can cause the lash hair to tear from its roots.

Massage the lashes with Vaseline to stimulate hair follicle growth. The petroleum found in Vaseline can promote healthy lashes. Petroleum will moisturize the lashes and reduce dryness and follicle weakness. When massaging, be careful not to pull or tug on the eyelashes, which can weaken the lash follicles.

Naturally stimulate eyelash growth by coating the eyelashes with castor oil every night. Castor oil is a moisturizer that can strengthen and thicken the eyelash hair follicles.

Use an eyelash serum to amplify length and add volume to lashes. Apply the eyelash serum as directed on the product label. Seek out eyelash serums that have prostaglandin, an ingredient known to stimulate eyelash growth.

Enhance eyelashes by using mascara sparingly. Use an eyelash curler as a substitute for mascara to create a fuller effect. When using mascara and an eyelash curler together, wait at least two minutes for the mascara to dry before using the eyelash curler. Lashes need to fully dry in order to prevent sticking and clumping.
