Castor oil for eyebrows

Lash serums are better imo but it does work still. Minoxidil is the best but more risky
My mom said no to minoxidil, thats why I'm trying castor oil. I tried lash serums a while, it worked but not much, will castor oil work tho?

Yeah it does help just use it consistently
 
Bought some castor oil for my eyebrows as some people said that I should lengthen it, does it work as good as other lash serums?
If you want to grow both eyelashes and eyebrows you could just take oral minoxidil, its the most efficient out of those, but apparently castor oil works as well even tho i dont recommend applying It on eyelashes

Castor oil need to be diluted with rice bran oil and some essential oils who increases topical blood flow, like rosemary and/or peppermint EO
 
if you can't use topical minox daily, get rosemary oil and peppermint oil, mix that with castor oil before applying lash and brow serum, microneedling works too
 
5mg or 2mg depending on the case
Don't you think it's not a bit over-exaggerated for just eyebrows ? I mean, unless OP has a diffuse aggressive hairloss & want to grow a full beard, oral minox is not recommended for just only grow some eyebrows

Eyebrows aren't targeted by DHT (minox is a mild DHT blocker) and don't need androgens to turn terminal (like the beard where people use topical carnitine). Regular topical blood flow boosters like some oils and EO are enough. Even sometimes microneeding is enough. For eyebrows minox 2% is enough plus we don't need the recommended 1ml daily dose.

Recommending 2-5mg of oral minox, including sides, while we can get the same result for a fraction of that ? No doll

Minox crazy boosts blood flow to the follicles or some shit the DHT block is like secondary thing, I drink 5mg of minoxidil

You can buy it online it’s not a controlled drug, or you can buy the liquid version and measure the appropriate dose with an insulin syringe like i do and shoot it down ur throat and down it with water (talked to chatgpt it has the same efficiency as tablets) saves a ton of money

And ye ive experienced much more rapid brow growth on it in like a few weeks than i have with topical minox which has exceeded months

I dont really see why anyone would use oils instead of minoxidil, considering oils barely give any results and have a awful texture and smell. they might improve blood flow or keep the area moisturized, but they dont really stimulate the follicles in any major way, most of the hype around oils is baseless and not actually backed by science

i would recommend topical minoxidil since It has less side effects, but he also wants his eyelashes to grow, and applying anything like minoxidil or an oil on your eyelashes is a terrible Idea since It will most likely give you an eye stye

about the dosage, I dont really know what his eyebrows look like, and any dosage below 2% barely changes anything, of course it wouldnt really be a problem If he already has a good eyebrow density, but i dont think thats the case

and minoxidil doesn't really have any common side effect (>5% chance) besides skin irritation, which doesn't even happen in all cases

Personally i will not push that idea, because of possible heart complications, and the risk of heart underlying problems.

Okay minox is more studied, but i've got results, and also there are small papers about rice bran, castor oil, peppermint & rosemary EOs. I've also seen Lavender and tea tree combined with Diclofenac but it was for inflammation based hair loss

well the chances of heart complications happening are lower than 1%, up to you to take the risk or not

i dont really know much about these oils and i doubt think they will give major results, but If they worked for you thats great

yeah i guess mascara and an eyelash curler would work but i would still recommend topical minoxidil
 
Also my mom apperantly tried minoxidil, and is scared oc the side effects, so I'm sticking to lash serums!!!

Ideally if we could mix both... since castor oil (used as Peg 40/60) has moisturizing properties

Idk, look at my posts, they reccomended me use eyebrow growth stuff
Compounds backed up by some science is better than buying marketed eyebrows serums.

I’m on a very high dose of steroids mate 🫰
 
skin shedding isnt really a common side effect but he could just apply a good moisturizer, If its really bad he might as well just stop using minox for a while
hair shedding
 
oops, minoxidil doesnt cause terrible hair shedding, and even If It did happen when you first start using It, as a part of the hair growth cycle, It would just grow back in
look at r/tressless

just saw a post, apparently he was on minoxidil and had good results, but then he stopped using It and thought that the results were permanent, but theyre not

from what i know It doesnt cause hair shedding except from when you start using It

like the guy said, It could be a switching brands thing since some brands can cause more side effects than others, or maybe they started using lower a dosage without noticing

also, minoxidil doesnt stop alopecia progression and genetic hair loss, which could be the reason why some people experienced hair shedding

yes whats your point?

nope this is widespread not just a couple of guys getting the shed

no
its not a minoxidil side effect, my point is that minoxidil doesnt prevent hair loss

they are permanent, almost 1 year passed and my brows are still the same, I recently started it again and no shed either. Shedding usually only occurs when weak hairs are replaced by stronger ones

shedding isnt hair loss, shedding is a possible side effect of minoxidil. you have no point you even contradicted yourself in the post I just replied to

theyre not supposed to be permanent tho, maybe you have your natural eyebrows again and just didnt notice, but It would be great If It was permanent

indeed, thats a part of the hair growth cycle, and It will grow back in anyway

thing is that this "side effect" doesnt exist (besides when you start using It)

thats how side effects work, if you mean that you only shed the first few months of using it youre wrong. shedding can also randomly start 7 months into it and then later again etc
