#1 Avoid habits that cause lash damage and fallout

The first step is to prevent damage to your lashes! There are small habits you might have that cause your eyelashes to become brittle and fall off or stop growing. Such habits include rubbing your eyes, pulling eyelashes while curling them, not removing eye makeup thoroughly and using expired eye makeup. Make sure to avoid these habits!

Use an effective yet gentle makeup remover to cleanse all eye makeup every day and try to take breaks from wearing mascara. Check makeup expiration dates and toss them out once you reach it.

#2 Moisturise your lashes with oils

Just like your skin and the hair on your scalp, your eyelashes will benefit from hydration too! Strengthen your lashes by moisturising them so they grow healthier and don't break off easily. Some natural options are vitamin E oils and 100% pure oils like coconut oil and castor oil. Pick those that are formulated for use on skin and hair!

While these won't make your lashes grow longer, they will prevent them from breaking off or stopping short in growth. Plus, it gives your lashes a full and shiny look. ?

#3 Biotin supplement

A Biotin deficiency will affect the growth of hair on the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes. You can replenish it with Biotin supplements! Of course, you should definitely check with a doctor before starting any vitamins or supplements.

#4 Have a healthy diet

Having a nutritious diet is the fail safe way to be healthy and have it show in your eyelashes and the hair on your scalp too! Some lash-friendly foods are salmon, sweet potato, nuts, eggs, fruits and leafy vegetables like spinach.

#5 Comb your lashes

Give your lashes a gentle massage using an eyelash brush! Like how brushing the hair on your scalp is a great habit to have healthy hair and stimulate growth, the same applies to your eyelashes.

Besides keeping your natural lashes strong and long, there's also the option of getting lash extensions which are perfect for lazy girls! Check out the things you should know before getting lash extensions. We also have more tips for ladies who like to look good with little effort!
