Both - Jamaican black and regular castor oil are great for eyebrows and lashes.
The product you choose should be certified organic, cold-pressed, and hexane free.
Also try a little bit on your cheek or arm skin to see if you aren't allergic to it.

Really great to apply with a mascara brush.
I made a little hole in the security cap to push the brush in and out.

Ditto. Mine started going crazy several years ago when the lady barbers began trimming them (never had a male barber even ask). I set the beard trimmer to '2' and hit them myself every week or two.

Thanks!

Get good at using an eyebrow pencil or an eye-shadow applicator with a shade close to your tone for a less drawn-on look. Feather lightly.

I have never really had visible eyebrows. The hair I do have is very thin and almost colorless. Now that I am in my 50s I get an occasional big thick dark one shoot out in a weird direction. I just cut it off.

It seems in fashion and beauty we all want the opposite of what we have.

I have a few that are very thick and grow out. I wonder what causes that?

The woman who cuts my hair clips my eyebrows every time I get a haircut.

Got a Swiss Army Knife?
The tiny scissors that come with them don't do much,
but they work very well for trimming eyebrows that grow too long.

I do the same. They start going in different directions and it looks too nutty professor if I don't clip them regularly.

They have eyebrow transplants. Brooke Shields did something to her brows, maybe latisse because she used that on her lashes. Blindness is a risk factor with it, ugh. Or she just fills them in, because they looked thinner or shorter a while back.
