Those who say that long and beautiful eyelashes are not essential, or claim that they do not bother about thickening them, are usually those who are blessed with beautiful eyelashes. Annoying as it is,
I am not among the lucky few so I am on a constant search for homemade remedies that can help me offset this inborn bad luck. Add to this the fact that constant use of makeup causes the lashes to lose their strength and eventually fall out, and you probably understand my desperation to finding a miracle solution.
I don’t know if good things come to those who wait, but I like to believe that it was my driven nature that led me to the eyelash thickening serum using castor oil. Its beneficial effects were presented to me by someone who was already using castor oil and praised its emollient effect.
It carries virtually none of the shortcomings of commercial products, which makes it the ideal solution for moisturizing and nourishing the eyelash follicles.
The idea behind using this do it yourself remedy is to mitigate the detrimental effects of the chemicals present in the makeup we religiously use. Castor oil is a highly effective treatment for hair loss, promoting hair growth and improving its density, so it works wonder in thickening your lashes, and Vitamin E accelerates the length of your lashes.
You’ll Need:
- Clean nail polish container or small clean bottle
- old mascara (I used this one)
- Fill your container 3/4 full with Jamaican Black Castor Oil
- Fill 1/8 of your container with pure Vitamin E Oil
- Fill 1/8 of your container with Sweet Almond Oil
Directions:
① Just mix all the ingredients and put the mixture inside a clean nail polish container or small bottle.
② Apply the concoction lightly in your lashes using old clean mascara before going to bed.
③ After a month of using this DIY serum, you will notice longer and stronger beautiful eyelashes.
Use your serum at night before bed. Wash your face as usual in the morning. This serum’s result vary from person to person. Some people see results immediately.
I used this mixture for a couple of months and can see a difference. Remember that a little goes a long way, you do not want the oil running down your face all night so get a minimal amount on your mascara wand before you apply. You can still see without too much blurriness after you have applied, it is actually very comfortable.
You have nothing to lose with making this serum. Even if it does not lengthen your lashes, it will nourish your delicate hairs and protect them from falling out. I don’t think anyone can have sparse eyelashes anymore!
can you add biotin and lubricating gel to the diy serum to make it better
Hi can you please help me with a way to thicken mt hair its really really thin……help me
i want to make sure the ratio is it 1 tbsp of vitamin e and almond oil and 1 tsp of castor oil right ? And what if I want to add fresh aloe Vera gel ,will i keep it in fridge and how long can it last?

Adding fresh aloe vera gel could last the mixture for a week if stored in the fridge.
is it safe to use vitamin e oil on eye lashes
@Rana,
You can use vitamin E oil for lashes too but make sure the oil wont get into your eyes. You can use castor oil as well – I’m using that one to grow my lashes.

Mix the ingredients and apply this mixture to your lashes every night. For the ration, if you put 1 tbsp of vitamin E, you will add 1/2 tbsp of castor oil
When I use castor oil n if by mistake goes in your eyes it burns
@Sunaina,
Castor oil doesn’t burn my eyes. However, maybe not in your case and some people who are sensitive to this kind of oil.
Just make sure to use the clean mascara wand and apply the mixture to your lashes ONLY. Or if you keep experiencing the burning sensation, STOP using this mixture to avoid irritation.

Heyy… whn i get the desired look for d eye lashes, shud i stop using d serum or continue it furthr..
@Sarah,
You can still use it but sparingly because the ingredients are very nourishing to the lashes.
actually i know about castor oil from at least 25 years before through an indian magazine.. i apply it from a long time with coconut oil or olive oil, but not regular basis. recently i did a new thing. i mixed same amount of coconut oil (which is for cooking purpose came in a glass jar), olive oil, grape seed oil and almond oil. i put this 4 oil mixture in a glass bottle. i use it twice in a week first take a portion of this 4 oil mixture and mixed with same amount of castor oil and warm it in a microwave oven then apply to my hair. i leave it for over night and the very next day i wash it off with shampoo. it’s really very good. but sometime i missed to apply in a week completely.
now my question is can u tell me if mixing those oil is not harmful for hair, can i really mix these with castor oil and at least how many days i need to apply this mixture/ method in a week, to see a good result? please reply me.
@Naheed,
Actually, the oils you’ve mentioned are really helpful. You can continue doing that hair mask once a week is fine.
Dear, if i use half and half ratio means same amount of both, castor oil and vitamin E oil and use every night for 2 months, will it work? i understand that you said it will work for eye brow but what about our hair? if i apply to my hair will it work? please reply. thanks so much.
@Naheed,
yes, the same amount. Make sure to use this mixture regularly, dont skip so you will see results in no time.
Pls tell me can I use aloeVera gel instead of vitamin e.as I can’t get organic vitamin e oil…..Rep pls
@Charu,

@Trixie,
Yes. you can do that but I strongly advise to use castor oil as this is really effective in hair growth.
how or what can u use to makeur hair shine more?
There is no aloe vera in the recipe, why do people talk about aloe vera. The recipe is just Castor Oil and Vitamin E oil, right?
How long will it generally take to see results because I have only just been applying the syrum on my eyelashes and eyebrows. It has been only two days.
@Miriam,
Be consistent (I mean use it every night) and you will see results within 2 to 3 months.
Can we use castor oil by itself or it has to be both?
Dear i want to volumize my hair . I remember your beer x water diy but i dont want to use beer plz tell me any substitute of beer. Can i replace caster oil to beer

@Misbah,
If you want to try the DIY thing, you should invest on these ingredients. You can buy these at your local health stores or Ayurveda stores. For vitamin E, you can get it from your local drugstores.
watis the brand of softgel vit. e capsule?
Can I use the vit. E softgel capsule?
@Alizza,
Yes, you can do that, just prick the capsule and squeeze the oil. Also, make sure that you are using the real vitamin E capsule, read my post here to know if you are using the real vitamin E capsule. https://beautytips4her.com/vitamin-e-makes-acne-better-or-worse-find-out/
How can we use vitamine E capsule??? I mean in the same ratio as mentioned above???or is the ratio of the ingredients 1:2. ?? Also tell me the effects of vitamine E capsule on face?? Can we use it directly on skin?? And can it cause frakels or any burning effect on skin???
Plz tell me aloe vera gel is also include in olive oil 4 lashes thickness ?
@Faya,
You only need castor oil and vitamin E oil.
First of all I love your website and your fb posts!!!! I look forward to trying this because I have hardly any lashes to begins with! I have tried the olive oil and egg white remedy for your hair and after I noticed my hair felt fuller and more bouncy. I’m always looking for natural ways to do beauty treatments, and ways to care for skin and hair. I swear by the coffee grind scrub. It has rid my face if acne and leaves it the most cleanest skin more than anything I’ve ever tried. All I wear now is mascara but I’d like to ease that out and have thick dark and long lashes…
@Victoria,
Glad to know you are getting good results using these natural remedies. If you wish to thicken your lashes, apply religiously this mixture onto your lashes and after couple of months, you will really see favorable result like I did.
Hello
1. Can i use Evion capsule extract instead of vit E oil ?
2. Can we preserve the mixture of dese two oils n if yes, for how long?
3. Ratio of both oils is not cleared. Is it like vit E oil s be double the quantity of castor oil ?
Thanks.
@Renu,
You can use the Evion capsule as this is a vitamin E supplement. No need of preservation as this mixture wont go rancid easily.
For the ratio, it means if you put 1/2 part like 1 tbsp, the 1/4 part is equivalent to 1 tsp. I hope this helps.

Hi can I use olive oil with castor oil since olive is vitamin E.or is that I have to buy vitamin E from medical store for eyelashes thickening.
@Saniya,
The ingredients are castor oil and Vitamin E oil. The vitamin E oil can be purchased by capsule or liquid form and can be found at your local pharmacy or drugstores.
So it’s 1 tbsp vit. e oil for every 1 tsp castor oil?

What is vitamin E oil???
Pls reply
As soon as possible
@Swati,
Vitamin E oil has basic antioxidant properties that everyone needs. It protects the skin against cell mutation in the sun and pollution. It’s also an anti-inflammatory, so it calms and hydrates sensitive skin. You can find Vitamin E in the form of capsule or in the bottle at your local drug / health stores.
can i use this to thicken my eyebrows too?
@Mcae,
You can use castor oil for your eyebrows.
Can i apply castor oil on my head for my hair growth
ok, pls say once more simply, how to thiken my lashes, oils name pls, and how can use it?
Doesn’t the castor and vitamin E oil irritate your eyes or make them really cloudy? I can’t stand using eye makeup removers for that very reason: instead I used what my opthamologist suggested years ago – use Baby Magic Baby Wash – the body wash, not the No More Tears Shampoo – not the same thing. It cleans much better, is more gentle than makeup removers and cleans much better so you don’t get eye infections.
@Laura,
I guess your eyes are sensitive to castor or Vitamin E oil. I regularly apply castor oil on my eyelashes and it doesn’t irritate my eyes.
and the good news, I could see good results on my eyelashes 🙂 which I love.
You can apply castor oil very lightly on your lashes using the q-tip, making sure it doesn’t touch your eyes.
I can’t use makeup removers for the same reason so I’m definitely going to try the baby magic…. thanks for sharing that
i hope i get the results like yours they look unreal to be honest !i can use this on my brows as well to thicken them?
@Sara,
I religiously apply castor oil on my eyebrows as well and I can vouch that this diy recipe works great. I saw results after more than 2 months of using it.
thanks a lot ! i’m making this tomorrow ! loved your site sooooo much, shared it with a friend and we are both going to try many of your recipes ! starting with hair treatment tomorrow ! excited !
i love your site ! i am follower on pinterest as well, i wanted to ask i don’t have aloe vera gel , can you guide me how to use the pureed fresh aloe gel right from the plant for this concoction?
@Sara,
You can use the aloe vera gel from the plant by scraping the white gel inside and cut them into tiny pieces, the juice will just seep through the oil mixture once they are all mix together, or you can pureed them using a blender. Thanks for the visit 🙂
Can i also use this to my hair? Will it help hair-fall problem?
@Liz,
Hair loss has a number of causes such as stress, poor diet and improper hair care, but a few changes in habits and routine can significantly help this problem.
Jojoba oil may help with hair loss when applied to the scalp. Or you can use Yogurt, Egg and Olive Oil Mask. Just add 6 tbsp of yogurt, 3 tbsp of olive oil to 1 egg mixture. Apply it to your scalp and hair and then cover with a shower cap, let it sit for 20-30 minutes before rinsing off. Do this regularly and you’ll see the improvement of your hair.
Wow, great site. LOVE diy..
