Castor oil or eyebrow serum? What’s better for boosting brow (re)growth?

Castor oil is a remedy for all kinds of problems with hair, lashes and brows. It is strong competition for professional cosmetics e.g. eyebrow serums. Do you know what’s better and what makes the best choice for eyebrow growth boost?

Before you start thinking about eyebrow care products, you should first ensure the sufficient moisture and nourishment from within. A vitamin-rich diet, mineral ingredients and fatty acids matter enormously and you cannot forget that.

Let’s also remember that the right brow care is essential for thick, healthy, full brows.

Daily eyebrow care

Brow care involves activities that provide proper nourishment and moisture both to brows and skin around the eyebrows. It is not merely about applying a serum. You also need to remember to:

• thoroughly remove make-up
• apply oils to brows
• gently massage the brow area
• use an eyebrow serum
• brush the brows

Eyebrow serum and a natural oil can be used interchangeably but you should choose consciously because just one of them gives fast, long-term and visible effects. The other one does help enhance the brows but it is recommended as addition to the proper treatment.

What’s better – to apply castor oil for brow growth or regularly use a professional eyebrow serum?

Eyebrow serum: good & bad sides

Eyebrow serums are usually made of substances such as baicapil, that is combination of three plant extracts (Baikal skullcap, soy sprout and wheat germ) which strengthen the brows as well as enhance repair and growth. It’s a good thing if the serum has natural ingredients and a substance stimulating brows to grow.

Brow serum has lots of benefits. Most of all, it works on brow follicles so it’s more effective and gives longer-lasting effects. It’s also easier to use thanks to a convenient applicator and light formula which is instantly absorbed. The price reflects the product’s quality.

The necessity for a lengthy treatment and daily application might be seen as a downside but you can easily get used to it.

Castor oil for brows: good & bad sides

Natural castor oil, rich in fatty acids (incl. unique, antibacterial ricinoleic acid) and nutrients, is a popular alternative to eyebrow serum. However, can it replace a professional strengthening serum?

The effect of using castor oil for brows is good because (with regular application) it nourishes, strengthens and revitalizes follicles which translates to strong, thick, dark brows. It’s a natural way to make brows fuller.

Too bad, applying castor oil to eyebrows has some disadvantages because the oil is usually thick and needs more time to be absorbed. It’s cheaper than a brow serum but this means poorer effects. It’s going to nourish, moisturize and strengthen the brows but it doesn’t always trigger faster brow growth.
