castor oil will thicken eyelashes.... Comments By: Ashley Vangordor This castor oil only made my eylashes fall out more. I do not recommend it at all. It'd be better if you tried vaseline.   not sure Comments By: 123 hi..im trying this castor oil..and it has been probably 4 days and i noticed that my eylashes fell out too..but im not to sure...im still going to go with it for 3 weeks and see wat happens   works!!!!!!!!! Comments By: anon they fell out but grew back SO much thicker its works better than vasaline!!!!   Works for me!! Comments By: Kim I learned this about 10 days ago, have applied it nightly and am seeing miraculous results! Now, I am researching it online to hear what others have to say.   Only for a few days... Comments By: Hi I've had castor oil only for a couple days...my bottom lashes are growing out longer and they're very noticeable. Also, out of sheer boredom I cut my eyelashes (I shouldn't have), and they've had an "evenness" to them but they're been remarkably longer and irregular shaped now, that's a positive thing! I'll probably post results after a few weeks.   Castor Oil and Myths Comments By: Olga Dereniti I am Olga from Greece and a couple of months ago a friend of mine told me that castor oil makes eyelashes bigger.I bought a bottle and started using it and after 1 month I realised that my eyelashes had become straight and thin(much worse than they used to be).I immediately consulted a pharmacist and she told me that it is a myth that Castor Oil makes eyelashes bigger!On the contrary,it is a product that should not be used on eyes as it can cause even blindness.In addition,it can make eye wrinkles very intense especially if we use it regularly.So be careful girls,and never do what others say before taking first a specialist`s advice.   Castor oil Comments By: Mary Please, never use Castor Oil...it merely gives u the impression that eyelashes become thicker, but if u use it regularly, u will soon destroy your eyelashes. I made the mistake to use CO and my eyelashes r now thinner than before.   NO DOUBT THIS WORKS Comments By: Sarah Castor Oil applied to the eyelashes nightly WILL amke them grow longer. Some people will claim this is ridiculous, but they have neither tried it nor understand why it works. The reason it works is that nearly nobody's eyelashes have grown to their maximum length and thickness. Castor oil just ensures that they grow all the way. My Outer lashes are now actually nearly a cm outside of my eyes to the left and to the right (Respectively for each eye) which means the whole look of my eyes is soooo much more improved and well from what people tell me.. 'sexy'. TRY IT. THIS WORKS.   Stay Away Comments By: Emmalina I to fell into the trap that castor oil makes your eyeslashes longer and thinker but it is quite the contrary. My lashes were thin and fagile looking. I've noticed that when I just leave my lashes alone (no mascara, oil,or touching/pulling) they become so much more lovelier. STAY AWAY FROM CASTOR OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh ym god peopel Comments By: wants to know something to make my eyelashes grow! get your story straight   Castor Oil and Vaseline have no result on eylashes' growth Comments By: Mary I'm a dermatologist and one advice I could offer you without hesitation is to avoid using any kinds of oil on the quite sensitive eye area. If you do it, after a couple of years you will wonder why you urgently need a surgery!   ^^^Dermato's a quack! Comments By: Anon ^^^To the dermato: false! vaseline prevents eye wrinkles! Been using that for 6 years and I haven't aged at all at 41. Vaseline doesn't grow eyelashes though. Don't know about the castor and now not sure I want to try it. Why would someone say "no ones eyelashes have ever grown fully?, that's weird!"   vaseline Comments By: Serenity Vaseline works for some people. everyone is different. but if your gonna use it just put it on the corner of your eyes. i hear it works and i hear it doesn't. good luck :)   to the dermatologist or whoever you are Comments By: Serenity you tel us not to use this and later on in life were gonna more less be under the knife because Castor oil doesn't work. well your all about money honey so get your facts straight. i will never get botox or anything like that. im no guinea pig and u people use us as one.   Don't use it please! Comments By: Anon Castor oil does not work!! I have naturally long, black lashes, and i still apply olive oil to them to make them stronger. So far, it works!!   Hair Loss Comments By: Danny Been on minoxidil ( R0gaine® ) for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth that i almost fell into depression. My hair only started visibly growing on the bald spot after skeptically trying out the various natural techniques to re-grow lost hair @ http://www.regrowmyhair.info I would highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn't a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results. And its only a minimum commitment of 15 minutes a day to help re-grow your lost hair. Anyway, its also a cheaper and effective way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have side effects.   Irritation in eyes Comments By: Namita i have been using castor oil for one and half months now. i use it i the night and wash off in the morning.Though i have noticed some positive changes in my eyelashes, i'am suffering from eye irritation and eye puffiness.My head also becomes little heavy.My job requires me to sit before computer for long hrs,so this may be due t that also.But still iam not sure as to what to conclude.If this is because of the castor oil then i wud like to discontinue it cos i dont want to achive anything at the cost of my eyes.Do someone please help me out with your precious advice. TipKing says: You must stop using the caster oil. Like all the tips on TipKing you should be very cautious. Have a chat with your doctor   castor oil does work Comments By: nick i had used castor oil before to my eye lashes to make them look longer,in about six month i develope a styt(eye acne becasue of blocked pores)in my left eye,i stopped using it and it was ok once i didnt noticed that some castor oils have flavourings in it and i use it and it made me sting. althoug it has made my eyelashes little bit thicker from near the nose part. it works but i dont know whether it should be applied to skin or not   IT ALL DEPENDS Comments By: jonny rocket it depends on the person. some it works on and some not.   You are all NUTS !! Comments By: Voice of Reason Hello... beauty queens...BLINDNESS.. and you wont even be able to see your stupid eyelashes...   Im confused Comments By: pankhuri i used CO on my brows and they actually did thicken, but after reading all these comments im afraid to use them on my eye lashes and wat happens if CO enters your eyes???   Castor Oil - BLINDNESS - NONSENSE! Comments By: Alice Castor Oil has been used for centuries for its healing properties. Some people even drop castor oil directly into the eyes to improve eyesight - but this is a different story. If you want to use CO, you should buy a "clean" one in the pharmacy. Do not buy any contaminated cheap stuff in the supermarket, if you do not exactly know, what's in there. (Just google CO healing and you will get the information you need)   CASTOR OIL for Pulled out Eyelashes!! Comments By: Angie I've been pulling out my eyelashes since I was 5, and now I'm 16. I've been trying to grow them back finally, and they're doing great, and they grow pretty fast in a month in a half or two (all the way long). I use castor oil- I think it helps to sooth them and make them grow faster, but will they be thicker?! I hope so!!! GOT ANY OTHER REMEDIES FOR THICKENING AND GROWING LONGER EYELASHES?   kind of works... Comments By: Jemma Saare I wanted to eyebrows to grow thicker and bigger and all over the internet it says to also use castor Oil. My eyebrows are now VERY thick, and i'm loving it!! HOWEVER i also use eyebrow gel daily. I'm a professional model, and all the make-up artists i have worked have said its not the castor oil thats making them grow. Its the stimulation your eyebrow follicles receive when putting on the oil. Thats why my eyebrow gel has helped...because the stimulation the brush is giving to the blood flow around the brow area. give it a go!   Works 10000% Comments By: Laura Berkely It works. End of I tried Castor Oil that worked amazingly only after a few weeks and i coudl see results sometimes the morning after I didn't have any Castor Oil for a while once so I tried Vaseline, I was skeptical but the effect is pretty much teh same. Casotr oil i would say is better though. TRY IT. Just before you sleep completely soak your eyelashes in either one and wake up. Castor oil does irritate my eyes so i had to put it on carefully and then immediately shut my eyes and sleep. Vaseline is a lot easier to apply What I would say is you have to keep on using it for the effects to last. Like after a few weeks of not using it I swear my eyelahses returned to their former length/thickness. What I do is Every night for a two weeks and my eyelashes are amazing.   help eyebrows grow Comments By: Anon My eyebrows is so thin n i hate drawin n my eyebrow everyday n i heard on tyra bank dat sumone tried rogaine on dere eyebrows n it werk well i tried it n it help i used da women rogaine n my eyebrow grew which dey said not tah use it near ur eye i just use q-tip n just paste it on da spot i wanted da hair tah grow   so confused Comments By: skybird My i want thick eyebrows but dont wanna be blind. Somebody help me. Anybody knows how i can keep my hair without going bald like the gentleman mentioned above. He says something about hardwork and that is something i know i will never have.   i was a skeptic..but this WORKS! Comments By: Rachel ok...i read about castor oil a few weeks ago on here and was totally skeptical but thought it was worth a try. my eyelashes were somewhat long to begin with but some were shorter because i had plucked them (a definite mistake!) i started putting the castor oil on them before bed less than two weeks ago and... WOW! I am truly amazed at how FAST this worked! my boss today even commented to me her amazement at my lashes and said they look like false eyelashes and that she can't believe they are actually real! i am a true believer! p.s. i do use a good mascara (loreal lash out - works for me) and a heated eyelash curler, which helps also. :)
