7 Big Brow and Lash Care Myths You Think Are True!

Who doesn't want well-groomed brows and lashes! Your brows and lashes are the features that shape your expression. Keeping them well cared for helps your makeup look flawless and makes your gaze more expressive. So what should "well-groomed" bring to mind? And what shouldn't it?

In this post, we'll talk about the tips that get passed around by word of mouth but have never been proven, or that don't do anything for your brow and lash care.

Do Your Brows Grow Back Thicker the More You Pluck Them?

The belief that brows will grow back thicker if you pluck them often has been around for years. Is it true? No. It's one of those myths people believe to be true. If you pluck your brows often, you can damage the follicles and cause your brow hairs to become thinner and sparser. To get the results you want for fuller brows, you need to shape them without damaging the follicles. That way, your brows won't thin out, and frequent plucking won't leave permanent gaps between your brow hairs.

Does Waxing Make Brows Grow Thicker and Faster?

When you wax your brows or any other area of your body, you know it pulls the hairs out by the root. The hair that grows back in its place comes in with a blunter tip. This creates an optical illusion, and you think your hair has become thicker. In reality, there is no change in the quality of the hair or the width of the spot it grows from. Also, constantly waxing your brows can cause them to thin over time.

Should Brows Be Twins, or Just Sisters?

Twin brows means perfectly symmetrical brows. Sister brows aren't perfectly symmetrical; they have a few differences. For a natural brow shape, we recommend sister brows, because your face may not be symmetrical. In that case, perfectly symmetrical brows create an artificial look on your face. Since sister brows are a shape that works with your face, they help you achieve a more natural look. Also, trying to make your brows symmetrical while grooming them can lead to unnecessary plucking.

Is There No Fix for Sparse Brows?

There can be many reasons for sparse brows: genetic factors, medications, hormonal causes, aging and improper brow shaping. So what should you do about sparse brows?

By regularly using a brow serum from a well-known, quality brand recommended by experts, you can stimulate your hair follicles to help your brows grow in fuller.

You can apply vitamin E and natural oils to your brows. We recommend including eggs, walnuts, avocados and almonds in the foods you eat throughout the day.

Does Trimming Your Lashes Make Them Grow Faster?

Trimming your lashes does nothing for your hair follicles; so trimming your lashes not only doesn't make them grow faster, it also keeps them short. If they feel longer after trimming, it's because your lashes look blunt once they're cut. This is an optical illusion.

To grow your lashes longer, don't neglect lash care. Nourish your lashes with vitamin E, use a brow and lash serum from a brand you trust, and pay attention to cleaning your brows and lashes.

Curling Mascara: Villain or Hero?

Curling mascaras have both benefits and drawbacks. Their lash-curling brush design helps lift the lashes upward. And because it gives lashes a curved shape, it also keeps them from getting weighed down. Since it curls lashes instantly, it gives you a striking gaze. You won't need to use a lash curler. Speaking of lash curlers, are lash curlers harmful? While curving your lashes, a lash curler squeezes them too hard, breaks them and weakens them. As a result, it contributes to lash loss.

Just as using a curling mascara has benefits for your lashes, it also carries some risks. Your lashes can break where you curl them. Especially applying it when your lashes have lost moisture can make stiff lashes snap and break more easily.

Does Washing Your Lashes Every Day Cause Them to Fall Out?

Rather than worrying about washing your lashes every day, focus on washing them correctly. Of course, if you have makeup on your lashes every day, you should wash them every day. Never go to sleep without removing your mascara from your lashes. The water temperature in particular matters for lash health. The water should be neither hot nor cold. Clean your lashes gently with lukewarm water, without being rough. Being just as gentle when drying them helps prevent lash loss.
