1. Olive Oil
Olive oil is a known natural remedy for encouraging hair growth. For application of olive oil, use an oil mascara stick after cleaning it thoroughly. Dip the applicator stick with olive oil and apply carefully on your lashes before bedtime. Leave it overnight for the action to take place. The hair follicles will be moisturized and nourished overnight and after 2- 3months of regular and diligent application, you will start seeing results. Wash off the oil in the morning with lukewarm water.
2. Castor Oil
Just like olive oil, castor oil is another powerful follicle stimulating oil that can be used on your lashes for lashes that are lustrous and voluminous. Known for its medicinal qualities, castor oil nourishes the skin as well as hair follicles, thereby stimulating hair growth. Use the applicator stick for applying castor oil on the lashes and either leave it all day or overnight depending on your convenience.
Continue application for 2-3 months. Castor oil is very viscose and may cause discomfort while application. However, the results are sure to surface after a few months. Castor oil as well as olive oil draws out the impurities from the follicles and stimulate hair growth.
3. Green Tea
Brewed, chilled green tea is filled with antioxidants and antibacterial properties that are super beneficial for hair. It’s gentle enough to have near your eye lids, and those flavonoids that naturally occur in green tea can keep your eyelashes healthy as well as stimulate growth.
4. Almond Oil
Rich in vitamin E and antioxidant qualities, almond oil too can help the lashes to thrive under its nourishment and care. Apply before bedtime and leave overnight ad morning as well for optimum results. It is important to clean the oil with warm water after each application of an oil to prevent the clogging of pores.

5. Lemon Peel
Lemon peel can be used along with olive oil or castor oil in order to increase the stimulation capacity of the oils and add volume and growth to your eyelashes. For preparing a potent oil with lemon peel, take adequate amounts of olive oil or castor oil and add a slice of moderately dried lemon peel into it.
Leave it for about a week or so for the oil to get infused with the qualities of lemon peel. Once the oil has been fortified with the nutrients and the scent of lemon, you can use the applicator stick for applying the oil on your eyelashes.Leave it overnight and wash off with warm water. Again, do not expect immediate results for this treatment. Wait for a few months before you see encouraging results.
6. Brushing Your Eyelashes
Just like brushing your hair will stimulate hair growth, brushing your lashes too can cause it to grow abundantly. An eyelash brush with soft bristles can be purchased from any beauty shop and used for this purpose. Gently brush the lashes every day in morning with soft, upward strokes; starting from the tip of the lashes and moving upward.
Remember not to do it for more than ten minutes a day . It is also important to avoid harsh brushing as it will cause the eyelashes to fall out. Continue this every day until you see desired results. You must continue brushing even after eyelash growth in order to keep the lashes growing.
7. Petroleum Jelly
The use of petroleum jelly can stimulate eyelash growth with frequent application. Apply petroleum jelly on your lashes with an applicator stick just before sleep and leave it overnight. Petroleum jelly will moisturize the eye lashes and prevent dryness, which can make the lashes look thinner and less voluminous. With increased moisture, the lashes will appear heavy and thick and the hair follicles will also be stimulated to grow thicker due to the increased moisture.
