If eyes are the windows to your soul, eyebrows are the walls of your house––they create the frame for your entire beauty look. But let’s face it, they’re not always on their best behaviour.
Perhaps your teenage self got a little tweezer-happy, or you’ve fallen victim to a brow wax gone wrong. If you’ve experienced any form of brow trauma—or as TikTok likes to call it, "Brow Blindness"—you know how much a shift in your brows can dramatically alter your face shape, and sometimes, even your confidence.
This is especially the case If you've lost as much as half a brow (or more). The weeks and months it takes waiting for them to grow back can feel like pure agony. But it doesn't have to be that way. Growing out your brows after such experiences requires patience, a little know-how and the right products.
So, put down the tweezers. Here's everything you need to know about nurturing your arches back to their full potential.
How to Tell Where You Need Brow Growth
Knowing exactly where to grow your brows is half the battle. The usual suspects? The front, underneath the arch, and the tail end. But how do you pinpoint those spots?
- Check the Start: Look straight ahead and measure vertically from the side of your nostril up to your brow. If your brows don't start at this point, it’s time to show some love to that area.
- Assess the Tail: Now, measure diagonally from the edge of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye. If your brows fall short of this point, you’ve got some growing to do on the tail for a more balanced look.
- Evaluate the Arch: Take a close look at the bottom line of your brow. If the line dips too much under the arch (think ‘90s brows), it’s a sign you need to let that area grow out for a fuller, more structured brow. Ideally, the bottom line should run parallel to the top for the most flattering shape.
The Brow Growth Cycle
Growing your brows isn’t just about waiting—there’s a science to it. Much like the hair on your head, your brows follow a three-phase cycle, and understanding this can help you perfect your brow game:
- Anagen Phase (Growth Phase): This is where the magic happens—your brows are actively growing. But, don’t get too excited—it only lasts between 30 to 45 days for brows. The secret? Maximise this phase with the right nutrients and care to boost growth while you can.
- Catagen Phase (Transition Phase): Lasting about 2 to 3 weeks, this phase is where your brows press pause. Growth stops, but the hair stays put. Hydration is key here to prevent breakage as the hairs transition out.
- Telogen Phase (Resting Phase): This phase can last up to 100 days, where your brow hairs take a break before falling out to make room for new growth. This shedding is totally normal, but how you care for your brows during this phase sets the stage for healthier, thicker hairs in the next cycle.
Your Brow Growth Arsenal
If you’re serious about growing fuller, healthier brows, it’s time to arm yourself with two power players: our Brow Gold Nourishing Growth Oil and Multi-Peptide Growth Serum. These products are formulated to work in harmony with your body’s natural hair growth cycle, giving your brows the support they need to grow stronger, thicker, and longer over time.
Brow Gold Nourishing Growth Oil combines nutrient-rich oils that nourish and protect your brows, including:
- Castor Oil: Rich in ricinoleic acid, castor oil stimulates blood flow to the follicles, promoting growth and preventing breakage. Think of it as your brow's strengthening elixir.
- Argan Oil: Packed with Vitamin E and antioxidants, argan oil conditions and shields your brows, locking in moisture and repairing damage.
- Rosemary Oil: Proven to stimulate growth, rosemary oil boosts circulation, ensuring your brows get the nutrients they need to thrive.
- Sweet Almond Oil: Hydrates the delicate skin beneath your brows, promoting healthy growth and keeping the hairs soft and smooth.
The Multi-Peptide Growth Serum takes things further by targeting brow follicles at the cellular level to improve density and volume:
- Peptides: These molecules signal your body to boost keratin production, thickening existing hairs and encouraging new growth.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Known for intense hydration, it plumps the skin under your brows, reducing shedding and maintaining elasticity.
- Biotin: This vitamin strengthens the keratin in your brows, speeding up growth and making them more resilient.
- Pumpkin Seed Extract: Rich in antioxidants, this extract blocks DHT, a hormone that can cause thinning, ensuring denser, fuller brows.
Together, these clinically-backed products work to nourish, fortify and strengthen your brows, encouraging fuller, thicker growth in just 12 weeks.
How to Maximise Your Results
Consistency is key when it comes to your brow growth routine. Here’s how to incorporate Brow Code’s products for optimal results:
- Morning Nourishment: After your morning skincare routine, gently massage Brow Gold Oil into your brows. Not only will this boost hydration, but it also gives your brows a subtle, healthy shine.
- Evening Treatment: At night, after cleansing, apply Multi-Peptide Growth Serum to your brows. The serum’s precision applicator allows you to target sparse areas, stimulating the follicles where growth is most needed.
- Boost Circulation: Massaging both the oil and serum into your brows stimulates blood flow to the follicles, increasing nutrient delivery and accelerating the growth process.
Remember, brow growth can be a slow process. Stick to this routine for a minimum of 8-12 weeks to see significant results. Trust the process—healthy, fuller brows are worth the wait!
