How to get Thicker Eyebrows for Men

There truly is something really appealing about having thick voluminous and dense eyebrows in a man. These days big bushy brows are one of the hottest things out there.

If you pay attention to male celebrities such as guys like Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniel Radcliffe, Boris Kodjoe or Chris Pratt, before you know it you’re going to start suffering from eyebrow envy.

Oh yeah… This is also why we have decided to write this guide on how to get thicker eyebrows for men.

If you don’t think eye-brow envy is a real thing, go take a quick look at ‘men with thick eyebrows’ on Google Images then see what you think.

Having thicker eyebrows definitely provides a more rugged look in men.

• It can make you look more distinguished.
• It can make you look more manly and even increase your confidence.

But, unfortunately, not all of us are so lucky to have these naturally dense brows. Take me for example. Being blond with fair skin, not only do I suffer from a lack of eyebrow hairs, but the hairs that I do have aren’t that easy to see.

Thick darker hairs will always show up better against a person’s skin than blond hairs against very light skin tones.

Well, I’m here to tell you, that living with thin eyebrows is a choice, because believe it or not there are actually many things you can do to increase the volume of your eyebrows.

And that’s exactly what we are going to share with you here.

In this article, we are going to look at a range of

DIFFERENT WAYS ON HOW TO GET THICKER EYEBROWS FOR MEN

I dare you to try out some of these suggestions and see just what a difference it will make to your appearance and self-image.

So let’s get started.

NATURAL METHODS TO GET THICKER EYEBROWS

Your first option could be to try one or two natural methods to promote thicker eyebrow growth.

Natural methods will take a bit longer than some of our later suggestions.

Natural at-home methods will require regular applications over the course of a couple of months before you start to notice any decent changes.

On the plus side though they are certainly the most cost-effective.

CASTOR OIL

The first on the list has got to be Castor oil. Castor oil is by far one of the most natural ways in which you can help to encourage hair growth. It’s a 100% natural ingredient that is sourced from the Castor plant so doesn’t contain any nasties.

This natural wonder liquid is suitable for all skin and hair types so almost any man can use it without worry (with just a few exceptions I’ll go into shortly).

One of Castor oil’s main ingredients is called ricinoleic acid. Regular use of ricinoleic acid can lead to healthier and more active hair follicles which can lead to thicker fuller hair.

• Simply rub a few drops of the Castor oil into each eyebrow and let it sit for 30 minutes before washing it off with warm water.
• If you consistently do this routine once a day you should start to notice thicker and fuller eyebrows within about two months.

A word of warning about Castor oil. It does have some contraindications. Some people are allergic to Castor based products and they will want to avoid using Castor oil.

Also, if you suffer any of these conditions be sure to check with your doctor before you try using Castor oil;

• appendicitis,
• hiatal hernia,
• blockage of the stomach or intestine,
• difficulty swallowing,
• weakened immunity,
• bedridden,
• pregnancy or bowel problems.

I recommend Sky Organics Castor oil because it’s completely 100% natural, organically sourced, cold pressed and gives amazing results.

What’s more, if you’re not happy with your results they also offer customers a money-back satisfaction guarantee. So there’s nothing to lose.

COCONUT OIL

Another fantastic way of naturally increasing the density of your eyebrow hairs is with the regular use of coconut oil.

Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants while also containing vitamin E and iron.

• In 2003 a study was conducted that showed coconut oil works wonderfully to protect hair.
• Your eyebrow hair will hold moisture which will mean fewer breakages and result in fuller brows.

If you decide to use organic oil be sure to find a good quality organic oil. It might cost a little more, but one jar will last a long time if solely used for your eyebrows.

Organic coconut oil is widely available in health stores and can even be found in many major grocery stores.

• Before going to bed at night, simply take a cotton swab and dip it into the oil. Wipe the oil over your eyebrow following the direction in which the hair grows.
• When you wake from your slumber all you have to do is wipe off any excess oil and then wash your face normally.

Please note that some people are allergic to products that contain coconut, including coconut oil itself. If you are in doubt then check with your doctor before using this method.

OLIVE OIL

Here’s an easy one as you probably already have this ingredient already sitting in your kitchen cupboards at home.

Olive oil helps to nourish and fix your hair while also containing fatty acids such as linoleic acid.

Olive oil also contains vitamin E and vitamin K. These all help to soften and fix your eyebrow hair while keeping them moisturised.

• Simply clean your eyebrows and gently dry them and then rub just a few drops of olive oil between your fingers to warm them up.
• Next, massage the oil into each eyebrow for a few minutes.
• After letting the oil sit for a few hours you can wash it off using warm water.

Note that you must repeat this every day at least once a day, but you might start to see results within just a few short weeks.

COLOuR PENCILS

If you don’t have time to wait to show off your big bushy brows then there is a range of colouring pencils and brushes you can use.

These pencils come in many different shades that can help you instantly get the desired look you’re going for.

So, let’s take a look at one of the top ones out there available on the market today called BoyBrow.

BOY BROW EYEBROWS PENCIL

Glossier has created a cost-effective, quick and easy way of creating instantly visible thicker brows in minutes with their eyebrow brush called BoyBrow.

• The brush comes in four different shades to suit all men and they include; clear, blond, brown and black.

This brush makes brows soft and gives them a flexible hold in just one quick and easy swipe. It has the added benefit that it doesn’t stiffen or flake which can make your eyebrows look unnatural.

BoyBrow includes ingredients such as Oleic Acid, Lecithin and Atelocollagen which all assist in helping your eyebrows hold moisture.

It’s also good to know that this product is completely free from alcohol, fragrance and parabens and it is a completely cruelty-free product.

BoyBrow is also suitable for all men’s skin types including those who suffer allergies.

All you have to do is brush your eyebrow hairs in upward strokes.

HAIR DYE

If your eyebrows are particularly light; they can be difficult to see.

You could have thick heavy blond brows, but they just don’t stand out enough. Well, you’re in luck because you can actually dye your eyebrows a darker colour using a product like Just For Men’s totally awesome Mustache & Beard hair dye.

When using any type of hair dye, it’s important to conduct a sample skin test on a small area of skin 48 hours before you go ahead and use the kit on your eyebrows.

Some people suffer from allergic reactions and/or sensitivity to dyes. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions that come with your kit.

Just For Men’s Mustache & Beard DIY kit will help you achieve a completely new look with amazing results.

• There is a range of different shades at your disposal (11 of them actually) so you can get the colour you desire.
• This little kit contains everything you need including an easy-to-use brush specifically for men’s coarse facial hair.

It’s quick and easy as you simply apply the product and leave it to work its magic for just five minutes before rinsing it out with lukewarm water and shampoo.

HAIR TRANSPLANT

If you’re looking for something more permanent or the solutions above just aren’t working out for you then there’s always the option of having eyebrow transplants so you can actually choose the shape of your eyebrows too.

Obviously, this method is going to be the most expensive with certain risks and side effects, so it is important to get all the information you need to know to ensure this is the right choice for you.

An eyebrow transplant is a type of cosmetic surgery which is performed by a cosmetic surgeon who will remove hairs (along with their follicles) from behind your ears and transfer them to your eyebrows.

This surgery generally takes between two to three hours from start to finish, but there will be several weeks and months of recovery.

The reason recovery takes so long is that it can take months for your new follicles to ‘adapt’ to their new home.

Common side effects from having eyebrow hair transplants include swelling and bruising which should subside within the first week after treatment.

Your surgeon will likely also recommend against all vigorous physical activity for the few weeks following surgery. So that means no going out for your long weekend run or lifting heavy weights for a while.

You can expect eyebrow transplants to cost anywhere from $3,000 USD to $6,000 USD and many patients will have a range of options available to offset these costs. These can include things such as discounts, financing and payment plans.

HOW TO FIND A SURGEON

It’s important to look at different surgeons before you decide who will perform your eyebrow transplant.

Make sure you pick one who has previous experience in actually doing eyebrow transplants and not just hair transplants.

Don’t be afraid to ask to see their credentials and get feedback from their previous clients. Usually, they will be able to show you before and after pictures of people they have worked with before.

You should always be offered a consultation, and this gives you a chance to make sure you feel comfortable with the person and/or people who are going to perform your procedure. A dermatologist should be able to point you in the right direction.
