A few months ago I tried out eyelash extensions. While I was absolutely obsessed with them and will probably get them again eventually, I don’t want to deal with the upkeep at this time. Sadly when all of my extensions eventually fell off, my natural lashes were not happy with me.
As you can imagine, going from long luscious lashes to little nubs was rough. I felt like I had no eyelashes and was desperate for them to get back to their normal length. I started doing research on how I could get them to grow without spending hundreds of dollars on lash serums and found the most incredible solution. Enter: castor oil.
I ordered a bottle of castor oil via Amazon Prime (you know my obsession with Prime) and was so excited to try it out. I’m going to be honest, I had very low expectations. I mean, could I really get my eyelashes back for $13?!
I used castor oil every night after I washed my face. The bottle I purchased came with a few applicators, so I would just put a few drops on and apply a layer to my eyelashes. It is a thick oil, so when you use it don’t put on too much or it will get ALL up in your eyes. When I wake up in the morning, I make sure to wash the oil off while I’m washing my face and I’m good to go for the rest of the day!
Now as I said before, I didn’t have high hopes when I started using castor oil. You hear people rave about things but it seems way too good to be true. Well listen up, people. Not only were my eyelashes back to normal in about a week and a half’s time, but they were LONGER AND THICKER than before. Helloooo, miracle product.
I am terrible at using products on a regular basis aside from my typical skincare routine, but I notice a huge difference after using castor oil for just a few days. I even get compliments on my eyelashes which literally had never happened before (aside from when I had my extensions).
Castor oil can also be used if you wanting to thicken up your eyebrows and for hair growth. I personally have not used it for these reasons, but have heard great things! Now please, do me a favor and go buy yourself a bottle. I promise your lashes will thank you!
