How to Get Longer Lashes
Your eyelashes protect the eyes from dust and sand. But apart from acting as a protective barrier to your eyes, they also give an instant lift to your eye makeup.
However, some medical and non-medical factors can make your lashes fall off and get thinner. If you’re trying to get longer and thicker eyelashes, there are several home treatments you can use.
- Use Castor Oil
Ricinoleic acid is the major component of castor oil and makes up about 90% of it. This acid has shown potential in helping with hair loss. However, consult your dermatologist before you try this remedy.
- Apply Coconut Oil
This oil is used for hair care due to its penetrating effect, which helps prevent loss of hair proteins. Hence, it may also be used to treat thinning and damaged eyelashes and aid their regrowth.
- Take Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce the oxidative damage causing an increase in hair loss. It also contains tocotrienol compounds that may help increase the number of hair strands.
- Apply Shea Butter
Shea butter is rich in vitamin C and is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin C prevents free radical damage and boosts collagen.
- Groom your eyelashes
Proper eyelash maintenance can improve the health of your eyelashes, making it less likely for them to break. This can make them appear longer and thicker. Some eyelash grooming tips include:
- regularly brushing your eyelashes with an eyelash brush
- washing your face and eyes with gentle soap daily
- removing eye makeup at the end of each day
Though these methods are expected to help you get thicker lashes, please note that it’s also always best to consult your dermatologist on what product to use as skin and hair vary.
However, there are some services that you can avail of to enhance the look of your lashes. Some of these are eyelash lifting, tinting, or extensions.

Eyelash Lift and Tint
A Lash Lift uses a specially created silicone pad and perm solution to lift your natural lashes from the root only, creating a subtle and natural-looking lift.

Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are being done by applying individual fake lashes onto your real lashes using medical-grade adhesive, creating a look similar to normal stick-on false lashes.
Eyelash extensions can give you the length and volume you don’t have with your natural lashes, but they require maintenance, which could include a re-lash every 2 to 3 weeks depending on how well you take care of them.
Lash extensions last about 4 to 6 weeks depending on the life cycle of your own natural lashes and other factors. Though the average cycle of a single lash is about 90 days, factors such as your eyelash characteristics, lifestyle, and general care of your lashes will affect how long your lashes last. Getting a re-lash every 2 to 3 weeks is recommended to keep the perfect look.
There are different types of lash extensions at Invigorate Spa that you can choose from according to the length and volume of the lashes.
