So if some of these posts are correct, why aren't balding men all over the world rubbing Vaseline or castor oil on their heads and growing luxurious hair?
And why doesn't aggressively plucking out a rogue hair half my life make it stop growing back?
And when I rub Vaseline on my chapped lips, why don't my lips grow hair?
Come to think of it, if I rub Vaseline on anything, it's on my fingers first. Why haven't my fingers become hairy?
Maybe the Vaseline makes the hair too slippery to grab with a tweezers.
I don't think Vaseline would do anything for hair growth. It seems like one of those things people tell others because maybe someone had some hair growth from something else... but they happened to have smeared Vaseline on their eyebrows.
I wouldn't think there is a lot of "massaging" happening when someone just puts Vaseline on their eyebrows. It's light rubbing for a couple of second maybe. But I put on eyebrow pencil every day, so that is like targeting massaging and stimulation of my brow area, but it doesn't cause them to grow. This sounds like some old wives' tale, like rubbing a potato on warts during a full moon to cure them.
I have never heard of Vaseline being used to grow back eyebrows. I have heard of castor oil helping, and something called Rapid Brow. I also use Rogaine on my eyebrows. I don't know if it is really helping, but then again I haven't used it that long.
When my kids were little & would get splinters occasionally, their old-school doctor said to put Vaseline on the skin where the splinter is to help the splinter work it's way out. It softens the skin & the splinter doesn't have to fight the pore as much to exit. I suppose someone thought a hair follicle might do the same thing? Idk?
