The Secret to Growing Out Your Eyebrows

It's no secret that the eyebrows define your face, seriously, have you seen Cara Delevigne? Find out expert tips and tricks to making yours grow in thicker faster to get the model-worthy look you desire

Past waxing and overplucking may have stopped you from reaching your #BrowGoals, but that doesn't mean you can't do a little bit of work to regain those thicker and fuller eyebrows. To find out the secrets behind great brows, we talked to Tera Sitts, a hairstylist and makeup artist based in Denver, Colorado.

"The most basic advice I can give to anyone who is trying to grow out their brows is to not tweeze or wax them," Sitts says. "Sometimes, by over-tweezing or over-waxing you can prevent future hair growth."

So put those tweezers away and cancel your reoccurring wax if you haven't already done so. Waxing can cause long-term damage to your hair follicles, which is part of the reason your hair may not grow back, something you definitely do not want.

In addition to switching up your beauty routine, promote hair growth by applying a healthy dose of castor oil every day with a q-tip, cotton ball or eyebrow brush and try hair growth supplements like biotin (note: biotin usually takes about three months before you will start to see any results). While those steps sound like more work than it's worth, when you see the fullness of your brows it will be completely worth it.

Once you've reached the fullness you desire, you can resume small touch ups by plucking stray hairs, but try to avoid over-tweezing. A little bit of concealer or highlighter will help disguise any stray brows in the meantime.

While you're waiting, you can fill in your eyebrows to make them more defined. If you need any help figuring it out, makeup artist Ivy Boyd created an easy tutorial using brow powder. You can also opt for a brow pencil or a brow gel. Experiment to find what works for you and your brows! If you're not sure where to start, here are some of our top favorite eyebrow tools to make defining them a breeze.

is coffee ok when you are pregnant???

Caféine during pregnancy Now that I'm pregnant, do I have to stop drinking coffee and avoid other sources of caffeine? If you're pregnant, it's a good idea to limit your intake of caffeine. But how much is okay? After decades of discussion and conflicting studies, there's still no clear answer on how much caffeine is safe during pregnancy. To err on the side of caution, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises pregnant women to limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 milligrams per day, which is about one 11-ounce cup of coffee (See the chart below to get a sense of the amount of caffeine in common beverages and foods.) What are the concerns about caffeine consumption during pregnancy? When you drink a cup of coffee, caffeine crosses the placenta into the amniotic fluid and your baby's bloodstream. While your body goes to work metabolizing and getting rid of the caffeine, your baby's body is still developi

How to Make Eyebrows Grow

How to Make Eyebrows Grow If you've accidentally over plucked your eyebrows, you're probably ready for them to grow back as soon as possible. While there's no magic trick to making your eyebrows grow back in, there are ways to make the transition a little easier. A well-utilized eyebrow pencil may keep anyone from noticing! Method 1 Waiting it Out 1) Plan to wait for several months. Eyebrows take a long time to grow back fully after they've been overplucked.
