To achieve that ideal look, it’s crucial to have a thorough eyebrow care routine along with the right eyebrow products.
Just like the rest of your hair, your brows and the skin beneath them deserve the same TLC. Healthy, full brows come from nourishing the entire area, which promotes shine and, for many, the all-important growth.
We often have dedicated haircare and skincare routines, but your eyebrows need the same level of care to thrive. Even if you’ve invested in treatments like lamination, using the right products is key to maximising your brow health and ensuring they stay looking their best.
We’ve gathered the most effective tips and tricks to enhance eyebrow growth and care for them, ensuring your brows not only grow fuller but also perfectly frame your face with a polished flattering look. From nourishing routines to the key treatment trends, we’ve got everything you need to achieve your brow goals.
Deep clean
Cleansing and exfoliating your brows is an excellent way to stimulate growth. Using a gentle shampoo cleanser helps to remove pollution and dirt build-up that can accumulate in your brows. It also delicately opens the skin beneath, ensuring that the area can fully absorb nutrients from any new products, maximising their effectiveness and in turn, speeding up the time it will take for your desired brow shape.
Condition and nourish
Just like your body, your brows can benefit from being nourished with the right product. As we age, our brows get sparser, so a great thing to add to your daily routine is a brow conditioning serum to help promote growth. These serums are formulated with supercharged nutrient boosters that provide essential vitamins and minerals to your brows. Most come with an easy applicator making it a quick and easy to add to your everyday routine – and within weeks, you’re sure to notice the difference.
Tint
Once you have the basics of your daily routine in place and are stimulating the health of your brows it’s time to add tinting into your routine. This is a great way to enhance your natural brows and make your brows look fuller and more defined.

The best treatments to consider
If you really want to make the investment there are multiple brow treatments that will help you achieve you’re desired look:
Lamination
Said to deliver thicker looking brows without the need for your brow make-up, it’s no wonder that lamination is here to stay. It works by straightening and lifting your eyebrow hairs with a chemical solution to give them more flexibility, and allowing you to shape and brush them as desired, this ensures that you can cover any sparse areas. A fixing solution is applied to keep the hairs straight. The result is fuller-looking brows that stay in place when brushed into shape – you can choose to tint them during the treatment too with the aim for them to last around six weeks.
Microblading
For those looking for a more permanent solution, microblading is one to explore. Microblading is a form of semi-permanent make-up. The therapist uses a handheld tool which is then filled with pigment to finely create hairlike strokes. When it comes to microblading, it’s all about precision, its super-detailed application, you’ll get a gorgeous, natural look that’s built to last.
Henna
Henna is a plant-based dye that’s fairly new to the brow world. Aiming to last around nine weeks against your ordinary tints six weeks, it works my colouring the skin beneath your skin as well as your brows for a more defined bold look.
