Effective ways to lengthen and thicken eyelashes

Curly eyelashes, long and thick, are the dream of all women. Therefore, the eyes and face will be more attractive. Various methods are also used to give eyelashes an attractive and spectacular appearance, from natural home treatments to plant eyelashes, false eyelashes, to the latest trends in beauty procedures.

Eyelashes are not only sweeteners for the eyes and face, they also play an important role in protecting the eyes from dirt and also function as sensors that warn the eye of the potential danger of approaching objects. The length and thickness of each person's eyelashes is different. Fortunately for those who have long, thick, and curved eyelashes.


Some conditions can affect eyelash fatigue. Like people with hair loss, inflammation of the eyelids and those who undergo chemotherapy will usually have fine eyelashes. Poor lifestyle, such as lazy makeup to clean eyes, and excessive rubbing of the eye area, also affect eye health and eyelash growth. But don't worry, there are various effective ways to lengthen and widen eyelashes, from home care to the latest beauty procedures.

Here are different ways to lengthen or thicken the eyelashes that you can try, namely:

Natural home care

To beautify the eyes and face, women generally use beauty tools such as mascara to give the impression of long, winding and thick eyelashes. There are many types of treatments at home to increase eyelash growth. It is estimated that they lengthen and thicken the eyelashes, including:


  • Petroleum jelly. Apply the vaseline to the eyelashes before going to bed three times a week, and washing it in the morning will help extend and thicken the eyelashes.
  • Green tea Applying wet green tea or cold green tea with cotton every day will also make the eyelashes look longer and thicker.
  • Olive oil Olive oil with or without lemon is also thought to help lengthen and curl the eyelashes. Apply olive oil mixed with lemon on the lashes before going to sleep, then rinse and clean your eyelashes in the morning.
  • Castor oil. Applying castor oil to the lashes before going to sleep also helps create long and thick eyelashes. Don't forget to rinse and wash your eyes in the morning. Before using eyelashes, you must first try on the skin to see whether there are allergies or not. Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which often causes allergies.
  • Aloe vera. Three-quarters of silver with castor oil and others, applying aloe vera gel to the eyelashes every night, will help extend and thicken the eyelashes.

Although it is considered that home treatment can lengthen and thicken eyelashes, you must be careful because the above method has not been scientifically proven to help extend and thicken eyelashes.

Eyelash Growth Medication

The only scientifically proven eyelash growth agent is bimatoprost. An FDA-approved drug that lengthens and thickens eyelashes. Initially, bimatoprost was an eyedropper to treat glaucoma. But later, the researchers found beneficial side effects from this drug, which stimulated eyelash growth. In the end, this drug is marketed using long and thickened eyelashes.

The use of this drug by applying it along the eyelash line to the upper eyelid alone is not recommended for application to the lower eyelid line. Apply it regularly every day for two months. This drug gradually promotes the growth of eyelashes that are longer, thicker and darker.

Despite using elongated and thickened eyelashes, bimatoprost also has potential side effects, including:
  • Eye irritation, dry and red.
  • The eyelids become darker.
  • Pigmentation of dark chocolate in slices.
  • Hair growth around the eyes if the drug is applied to the area outside the eyelid.
  • Although dark eyelids can fade when drug use is stopped, iris eye discoloration tends to be permanent.
However, bimatoprost is currently not included in the BPOM list in Indonesia. Please pay attention to non-prescription lashes and eyelash enhancers.

False eyelashes

You do not want to bother with the use of mascara and eyelash curler? You can use false eyelashes to get dazzling and dramatic eyes. There are many choices for false eyelashes, from color to length. This is an effective solution for those of you who want the appearance of long and thick eyelashes instantly.

The use of false eyelashes also requires caution, ensuring glue to repair false eyelashes does not irritate your eyes. Apply the glue to the base of the false eyelashes and make sure the glue does not penetrate your eyes. It is recommended to remove false eyelashes and clean them before falling asleep. And do not exchange false eyelashes with others, because this can eliminate bacteria that can cause eye infections.

Eyelash extension

In addition to false eyelashes, eyelash extensions can be another solution. Eyelash extensions are the latest trend in beauty procedures available in various salons and beauty centers. Eyelash Extensions are individual eyelashes made of synthetic fibers - such as nylon - which are planted one by one above the upper lashes with special adhesive. During this process, beauty experts will usually plant between 40 and 100 strands of eyelashes on the original eyelid line using long, sharp pliers. This eyelash extension can produce a dramatic and charming eyelash appearance if done properly. Eyelash extensions can usually last up to two months and will disappear with the loss of your original eyelashes. In this case, you should do eyelash treatment or retouching once a month.

Eyelash extensions are one of the most difficult beauty procedures to learn for a beautician. Therefore, make sure that this beauty procedure is carried out by the best beauty experts and is certified with a reputable eyelash product. The reason is that bad eyelash extension techniques can cause irritation, premature fall, and even serious eye and eyelid injuries.

All you need to consider about eyelash extensions is the content of the eyelash products. Many eyelash extension adhesives contain formaldehyde, which also exists in a number of cosmetic products such as mascara. If you have an allergic reaction to the uterus, avoid using it. However, many eyelash extension products with low formaldehyde content allow their use by people who are sensitive to these chemicals. Remember to take care of eyelashes when using eyelash extension products and follow maintenance instructions to avoid problems.

Tips for treating eyelashes

Proper eyelash care can improve the health of your eyelashes and make it longer, thicker and longer lasting. Here are some eyelash care tips:

  • Clean your lashes with a soft and regular brush.
  • Clean your face and eyes with mild soap (no irritation) every day.
  • Clean your face before going to sleep.
  • Use a gentle facial makeup remover (solvent / eraser), be sure to do it carefully and do not rub the lashes area which will make the eyelashes fall.
  • Be careful when using the eyelash curler, do not touch the eyelid.
  • If you want to get rid of mascara stains, do it while the mascara is still wet and easy to comb.

As for hair, it is also necessary to use a special conditioner for eyelashes to enhance your eyelashes. You can apply a thin layer of conditioner to the eyelashes at night. The content of proteins such as keratin, biotin and moisturizer on eyelash conditioner is useful to strengthen and moisturize eyelashes and help stop damage to the eyelashes. For better information, you can consult a dermatologist or beauty specialist.
