How to GROW LASHES| Dr Dray

[@lkjsf100]

Many people are complaining that Dr. Dray gave no "real" tips or products for curing short/ spares/etc eyelashes... and yet, the tip was to simply: do nothing. And yet, that hasn't been explicitly stated in the beauty community by such a large REPUTABLE "influencer"/ source. It more reflects on our capitalist mindset of harmful products constantly being shoved down our throats. So, Dr. Dray: thank YOU for being level-minded, and honest with your views. She could have EASILY promoted a shitty eyelash product (like Etude house eyelash serum, lol) and made thousands of dollars. Yet, she didn't. We NEED more people like Dr. Dray in our community talking about serious subject matters like skin health (or in this case, hair healthy) to be more transparent, objective, and factually based. So again, Thank you!

[@psychotherapistspecializin6452]

Your points are very valid, however they do not negatemany women are not happy w/ their lashes & want non-harmful effective tips to help. Sweet Almond oil works well as a cleanser & on the lashes to moisturize & keep conditioned.

[@callysv8995]

but is not always 100% not harmfull is it? clogging, blepharitis...

[@lizn9324]

2llkjsf100 Their complaints are valid because the title of her video misleads one to think she is going to share tips on "How to Grow Lashes". It would be more accurate or less misleading to title it "What won't cause lash growth" or something like that. Hopefully, you get the gist of what myself and many others are trying to say. I get why so many Influencers use "catchy" title phrases to draw in viewers but I don't appreciate it because it ends up wasting my time. With that said, I do agree that Dr. Dray shares honest reviews and information from science based evidence.

[@lindsaycooke361]

i wish i could have longer lashes but the lesson here is u got what u got basically :(

[@TryMyMartini]

@@callysv8995 Yep. Sweet almond oil can cause clogging, sties, and milia. It's not the worst, being mildly comedogenic, but there are better, especially if you are sensitive.

The best thing that happen to my eyelashes was starting a hydration regimen for my eye area to prevent wrinkles. Hair grows when the follicule is healthy and moisturized.

[@jenniferwray3329]

Do you use an eye cream?

[@valeriaQwiUi]

@@jenniferwray3329 no, after washing my face I apply a hydrating toner and then face moisturizer (Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturazing Lotion). I think the petrolatum and urea in the cream really lock the moisture. I tried some oils like ricine oil, almond oil and hueso de mamey oil, but Dr. Dray is right, they only caused irritation.

[@deemcgillicutty6015]

Where do you get almond oil?

[@curlygurlxo]

Don't the lashes come from the follicles right at the water line? How do you moisturize right there?

@@valeriaQwiUi are you still jabeknv success?? Is it the toner or the moisturizer that’s so helpful??

So basically the moral of the story is: there is nothing you can do for your lash growth. Only thing you can do is clean them before bed.

[@swineinny1]

For me, the risks outweigh the benefits. Even tho I want thicker lashes, the possible side effects sound awful. Unfortunately, I’ll pass. Since Dr Dray is giving NO actual tips on growing lashes, the title of this one is kinda misleading. Clickbait?

I’m hoping they will continue to be where I want them to with some occasional upkeep with non prescription growth serums. I also live in the UK now and I noticed there is a lot of reluctance to prescribe the UK version here. I was declined by at least two doctors for a prescription. I was getting it when I visited the states. Twelve years use is a long time. No regrets so far stopping it. Time will tell.

[@orangefox5121]

Why the heck would you stop if that was working? Dr Dray is not God Almighty, it is her OPINION on a products and not all of her OPINIONS are correct. If you had no side effects - there is no reason to listen to Dr. Dray

Here's the thing about castor oil: It may not make lashes thicker, per se, but I definitely notice less fall out when I use it every night. If I get lazy and start skipping days, they start falling out a lot again. Make sure you're buying hexane free for the eyes as well.

I learned to do my makeup without curling my lashes, without mascara and eyeshadow as liner. Less flashy look, but strangely empowering to develop a natural makeup look that doesn't break your lashes.

[@kohakuhunter]

How do you it?? Please share your secrets!

[@MyKombucha]

@@kohakuhunter I like the "leftover makeup" or "lived-in liner" look like when you only removed the top layer of makeup, and your eyes are still a little stained with what looks like a smudged liner over the top and lower lash line. You can best recreate that with a soft base in the crease + taupe creamy shadow blended from very close to the lash line (as matte as possible but there is usually a little shine to cream shadow) , it brings a soft definition. See the video I posted called "Lived-In Liner Tutorial with Celebrity Makeup Artist Tobi Henney", the makeup artist uses a smudged creamy pen liner but you can do that with any creamy eyeshadow (or even a powder one but not as easy to work with). In my case, I skip mascara. Looks more "lived-in".

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I am using a 100% natural mascara that is really great. It’s by Suzanne Somers. Go to her website and check it out. I started using it because my lashes were breaking and getting sparse. It’s made a big difference. In fact all of her skin and hair products are really great. Suzanne recently passed away, but she did all she could to fight off cancer that started in her 30’s. I believe if she hadn’t changed her lifestyle she would have died much earlier. God bless her for helping women and men feel there best. Hope this helps you. ✝️

I have to use eye ointment at night because my lids don't close all the way when I sleep. This is a slippery petrolatum jelly, basically, not as thick as Vaseline. I have noticed that my eyelashes tend to look more lush when I use it regularly. Sometimes I use a viscous eye drop instead of the ointment, and there is a difference between the two as far as my lashes go. The ointment definitely seems to have a positive effect. I don't know of this is conditioning the lashes, but it is a welcome side effect.

I had lash extensions pre-covid. During covid I obviously couldn’t get a fill in and the extensions eventually came out. The tech that did my extensions didn’t do them right so I had no lashes after. I used castor oil and it was a godsend! It doesn’t necessarily make your lashes grow super long or thick but the conditioning properties of it helped them come in and stay in. I still use it to this day and even though my lashes aren’t necessarily long, I don’t have lashes falling out like I did before use. I would definitely recommend castor oil for maintenance purposes and to heal any damage from extensions, lifting, etc.

Even if you don't get side effects, Latisse is not worth it in my opinion despite how much it does grow your lashes I've been using it on and off since 2007. The results only last for like 5 months for me despite continuing use. Then your lashes return slowly to what they were before. It's slow so it'd easy to not notice and at that point, you already seen the dramatic 16 week results and believe in the product. I need to stop using it for months to get it to work again and then you have to wait months again for the result. There's a lot of people experiencing the same thing.

Voy a contar la historia con mis pestañas (en español porque no sería capaz de decirlo en inglés) Tuve un accidente en el cual me quemé las pestañas del ojo derecho, fui directo al dermatólogo y me dijo que probablemente mis pestañas no volverían a crecer igual ya que podría haberse formado tejido cicatricial en la base del crecimiento de las pestañas, salí de la consulta muy asustado, triste y desanimado. Pasó 1 mes de aquello y entonces comprendí a qué se refirió el dermatólogo cuando me dijo que mis pestañas no serían iguales: crecieron un poco pero la densidad no era la misma, eran mas finas y parecía tener parches donde no crecía ninguna pestaña, entonces volví a ir al dermatólogo y me recomendó usar un serum de bimatoprost pero me dijo que un efecto secundario sería que probablemente el color del iris de mi ojo cambiase de color y se volviera oscuro lo que resultaría en heterocromía usándolo en un solo ojo (así que debería usarlo en ambos ojos). Salí de la consulta igualmente desanimado ya que no quería sacrificar el color de mis ojos simplemente para que crecieran 10 pelos más en mis pestañas. Hasta que un dia tuve una revelación y busqué información sobre el Minoxidil tópico, normalmente se desaconseja su uso en pestañas y cejas por el riesgo de que entre en contacto con el globo ocular, pero en teoría siendo muy cuidadoso en la aplicación del Minoxidil y asumiendo el riesgo real de su uso en esta zona debería ver algún tipo de mejora. Asi que asumí los riesgos y fui especialmente cuidadoso al aplicarlo usando un bastoncillo de algodón únicamente en el parpado superior y en la raíz de las pestañas. Empecé a usarlo 2 veces al día, el primer mes no noté ningún cambio pero a partir del segundo mes WOW era increíble como empezaron a crecer y a verse nuevas pestañas en aquellas zonas "calvas" donde antes no había nada. Y no sólo donde las zonas calvas, ya que la densidad, longitud y grosor del resto de pestañas aumentaron considerablemente llegando a un punto en el cual sentía que tenía mejores pestañas que antes del accidente. Yo sé que un dermatólogo hace bien en no recomendar la aplicación de Minoxidil en una zona tan sensible como los ojos, porque analizando el ratio riesgo/beneficio es muy grande, pero creo que siendo honestos, constantes y especialmente cuidadosos en la aplicación el pelo de las pestañas pueden no solo regenerarse sino aumentar de longitud, densidad y grosor con la utilización de Minoxidil.

I've used baby oil to remove eye makeup for about three decades now. It works well and a bottle can last FOREVER. Is this an okay\healthy method? Thanks Dr. Dray!! Love you!

[@CL-dp4yx]

Me too! I looked at the ingredients of my eye makeup remover many years ago and realized it was just mineral oil, so cotton ball with baby oil...

[@laur83]

i imagine so. since it’s an oil cleanser and Dr Dray has mentioned enjoying oil cleansing/preferring it to using micellar water. if it’s not causing any side effects to your skin it should be good. i use castor and rose hip oil to remove my makeup and it really gets everything off easily.

[@normagugrant8651]

I have a thyroid problem; I have a hypothyroid condition and Hashimoto. I have significant hair loss on my head, eyebrows, eyelashes. I have been treated for the thyroid condition with Synthroid. Taking thyroid medication has done absolutely nothing for my hair loss. The hair loss has continued to get worse and the medication has done nothing to stop the hair loss. What I found in talking to women with low or high thyroid hormones is that they have a hair loss problem, as well. The medication makes your numbers look good on a blood test; but, it does nothing for the hair loss effect of thyroid problems. Also, for me and others the medication does not help the symptoms of a low or high thyroid hormone problem; such as, fatigue, feeling cold or hot, dry skin, hoarseness, muscle weakness and irritability. A very frustrating and debilitating problem.

[@jordanxfile]

😱 I hope they grow fast. You can use an ointment with dexpanthenol; it could speed things up a bit. Massage it on your lashes and even your whole eye area, before bed. I use such an ointment to prevent dry eyes and also wrinkling around my eyes. Take care.

[@LittleQueenB]

Hi bby, how you doing? I’m emotionally scared by reading your post because lashes grow and fall out in cycles…. You aren’t ever supposed to cut them because they don’t continue growing like the hair on your head. SO are you okay?

[@rawglowkristina]

I have had lash extensions once, and I experienced a strong reaction to the glue with lobster red eyes until I got the expensions removed. The paradox was that I got the extensions because I was going to my friend's Iraqi wedding, where everyone is dressed to the nines and super glam. I had to go to said wedding with super red eyes, and explain to everyone I met that I had an adverse reaction to the lash glue. It was quite a learning experience for me, and in hindsight, quite funny. I am never messing with my eyes (or eyelashes again).

[@zoba4264]

[@karinheggarty9828]

I think it's Sunblock and there's too much shine under the eyes which accentuates the under eye hollows therefore looks aging, in my opinion

[@meckismicki]

I do keep my lashes cleansed. I take Alive Women's Multi, because I know I don't eat as many vegetables as I should and I don't think we get the nutrients we once did, because of our soil. I notice such a big difference when I am in Europe and go to the farmers market every other day. As a child and through my teens I spent much of my time at my my great Aunts in Germany and we had a large garden & orchard. We used no pesticides and I seldom had colds or flu. Getting back to the eyes. I do use Jamaican black Castor oil and the Ordinary Peptide Lash Serum. I do think my lashes are healthier a bit thicker and longer.

[@AmyProctor]

I've been using Liaison Lash Bond for a couple months and love it. It's not expensive because a tube lasts for a long time and my lashes are incredible now. No irritation, either. Occasional dry eye but I think that's due to prolonged contact use, not the serum that I use once nightly.

[@firefirefire305]

[@rebecca3745]

I have noticed an improvement in my eyelash length and fullness after using my OmniLux LED face mask daily for two months.(my eyes are closed the entire time) I have not done anything else except to be more consistent with skin care since purchasing the mask. Maybe a very pleasant additional side effect from LED red light?

[@makayla6956]

i put castor oil on my lashes every single day for a month and they genuinely grew (i measured) like you could see a difference, i only stopped because the castor oil kept getting into my eyes but i don't really recommend

[@paulachristie7807]

I use castor oil on my lashes and brows before bed, I am not sure it makes them grow but it does keep them conditioned. I’ve been doing this for years. Initially It got into my eyes until I learned what a minuscule amount is needed. I literally use less than a drop for both brows and both eyes. If you want to try again use the tiniest amount you can get on the tip of your little finger.

[@greenknitter]

@@paulachristie7807 Same. Mine don't fall out as often applying it nightly. I also use a tiny spoolie to apply it to my lashes so it doesn't get in my eyes. Application from mid-length to tips, never at the roots. It works its way there naturally while we sleep.

[@annawu3810]

Do not apply the castor oil on your eyes the oil get into the eyes not good

[@vegtbull]

I started applying a small amount of castor oil to my lids as it's helpful for dry eye and is even used in hydrating eye drops. Tho it stings if it gets in my eyes. I'm astonished that my short sparse lashes are growing. So I started applying it to my brows and those are also growing! They're not crazy long, but to the point I need to apply a little less brow makeup. I scoffed at ppl saying it grew their lashes, but I can't argue with my own results 🙃

[@debrafirestone861]

I don’t use any of these things just mascara

[@MonicaBU]

I was waiting to hear you say something about Vaseline on the lashes? I’ve seen it work for other people and it did help mine grow as well.

[@anne-marieriamitchell1140]

My grandma (she would be 100 now) always said use Vaseline she was right no idea how she knew x

[@MiszCandiiLadii]

Exactly I was hoping she talk about that. I’ve read article that vaseline is fine for the lashes. I always used it and after having las extensions that weaker my lashes, vaseline always helps grow them back

[@AmiraIsaad]

i am sorry but castor oil "does" work i used to use it and my eye lashes grown but once i read about the issues it can cause to you sight and gets u fat bags that would need surgery i stopped immedietly but it does work, i am shocked that u saying it doesnt ... it's literally used for head hair growth ... and castor oil is used for shining your head hair purpose

[@MyLoVeLyMaN]

Hi Dr Dray, my lash aren't the longest/thickest and I accept that. Even using growth serums, results aren't permanent so not worth it for me. Had some good results in the past with jojoba oil, but not too keen on using oils around the eyes and don't think are very safe if they go inside. I spoke to my eye doctor about Latisse and completely refused to prescribe such a serious medicament just for growing lashes. I really respect him, eyes health come first.

[@myaatheist2160]

[@dena5558]

Yesss! Post baby I was prepared for my hair to shed but I wasn’t prepared for lose eyelashes! I had like a chunk missing. So embarrassing 😳 🙈 They grew back but my hair and lashes have never been as thick as they were pre-baby.

[@sophiarose9610]

If you put minoxidil from men’s hair regrow like rogain on your EYEBROWS somehow it also causes your lashes to grow as well. She promotes minoxidil for hair growth JUST NOT ON LASHES. Putting it on eyebrows will cause eyebrow and eyelash hair to both grow.

[@EstiSara]

I agree with most of this, however you can't put all lash serums under the same umbrella. They aren't all like latisse and they don't all cause side effects. The one I use is water based and causes no discoloration, soreness, dryness, stinging, burning or otherwise and its about $10 per unit but I agree about not using anything that causes those side effects you mentioned.

[@grossgorl]

just wondering how you know it causes no side effects? was there a study done on it? is so what is it called?

[@tassinmonkeys]

I have had horrible reactions to all serums that I tried. Must be over 10 now. I think some people just can't use them. I am one of them

[@florist7743]

I have a very sensitive eye area and allergies which means mascara is very unpractical except if it's water proof. But water proof makes the removal even more irritating. Classic eye makeup was the first thing i stopped using out of convenience and I substitute it with light glittery very transparent eyeshadows and eye pigments and highlighters. They are just as beautiful but much less irritating to wear and take off. And you still look glamourous and maybe even more youthful that way. Oh and my lashed grew thinker after I stopped using mascara of course, because I'm not ripping them out my accident with tools or makeup removers.
