Why do your eyebrows stop growing ?
Today we are going to having a look at Why do your eyebrows stop growing ?
Why do your eyebrows stop growing ? Is a question we get asked a lot
Why do your eyebrows stop growing ? Now this one baffles people as hair everywhere still seems to keep on growing so why not eyebrows?
The hairs life cycle
All hair whether it is your head, eyebrows, eyelashes or underarms grows in 3 phases. The only thing that differs (from, your lashes to the hair on your head is how long the phases takes. The three phases are called anagen which is the growth phase . How long anagen lasts is determined genetically, and varies between the sexes and even from one person to another. It is the length of this time that determines how long the hair will grow. For head hair, the anagen phase can last from three to as much as seven years. The next phase is catagen this phase lasts between two and four weeks. No pigment is made during this time, and the follicle stops producing hair. The base of the follicle moves upwards towards the surface of the skin. the final phase is telogen this phase lasts for three or four months. During this time a new hair begins to grow from the hair follicle. As it grows upwards the old hair will be shed naturally or may be pulled out. Tweezing is easily and painlessly done with telogen hairs.
As we age
As we age, the hair cycle can become shorter ( although this isn’t true for everyone and depends on your genes). The follicles gradually give up producing long, strong hair, and the hairs become thinner and shorter. This can also happen to lashes, brows, leg and arm hair and so on.
Whats the difference between the hair on our head and our eyebrows?
Well actually not much,the growth cycle of eyebrows are a mere blink of the eye compared to head hair. Eyebrows take up to 64 (give or take) days to come back fully. If you pull a hair out of a follicle another one will grow up in its place. “Well if thats the case why haven’t my eyebrows grown back i hear you say” well this is a bit of a mystery as there doesn’t seem to be a common logical reason why this happens. There is a lot of theories why this happens, one of them is if you apply creams to your face and forehead around the eyebrows this can block the hair follicle and prevent the hairs from growing. Other theories are that constant friction from clothing being pulled on and off face rubbing on pillows, has the same effect that your trousers have on your legs. Another is scar tissue around the follicle from plucking could also be a problem although there seems to be very little evidence that would in fact happen unless it was an actual scar.
Why do your eyebrows stop growing ? Its not conclusive but at lease a couple of reason why it happens.

How to make your hair grow fast
Home remedies on How to make your hair grow
Have you ever wanted to know How to make your hair grow? I know i have so we did some research and found some home remedies that could help your hair grow a little faster.
Apple cider vinegar rinse
If you’re looking for really long hair, then you should try apple cider vinegar. Basically, you mix apple cider vinegar with a bit of water and then use it to rinse your hair after every shampoo. This will stimulate your hair follicles and help it grow much quicker Some vinegar has a noticeable odor afterwards, but apple cider is a safe variety. If you still notice a smell or simply want to play it safe, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to your vinegar when you rinse.
Avoid silicone based hair products
Although silicon-based hair care products create an illusion of healthier, smoother hair, they are actually bad for your hair in the long run. Why? Because they tend to coat the hair shaft and seal out moisture, clogging hair follicles, making your hair weaker, and eventually preventing your hair from faster growth. So avoid them as much possible.
No conditioner on the scalp
This is a definite no no.If you apply hair conditioner to your scalp the conditioner tends to create flyaway hair and can make it look frizzy . It also tends to weigh your hair down and, most importantly, could lead to dandruff. To apply conditioner correctly, put your hair in a ponytail and apply the product from the hair band down.
Don’t over wash
Lots of people think that washing your hair every single day is a necessity, but think about how much harm all that shampoo and conditioner is doing to your hair. Forget about growing, your hair will have a hard enough time simply trying to survive after being exposed to all those harsh chemicals on a daily basis. Ideally, you should wash your hair 2 or 3 times a week. If you need to wash it rather us, use dry shampoos in between. This way, your hair will produce its natural protective oils and will get a chance to grow.
We hope you have found these few tips on How to make your hair grow helpful. If you know any others we would love to hear from you.

The danger of Fake cosmetics
Police warning on Fake cosmetics
In today’s blog we are bringing something very important to your attention, Fake cosmetics. You may or may not have heard about these in the news lately, it was actually reported in 2012 as well so why are these products still around.
If you’ve ever bought cheap ‘designer’ cosmetics that seemed too good to be true, that’s probably because they are so stop using them now. A report from the City of London Police has revealed the true dangers of buying counterfeit beauty goods. This includes makeup, skincare, perfume and electricals that can even prove to be life threatening.
Tests have shown some fake cosmetics are laced with poisonous chemicals, including cyanide and toxic substances such as arsenic, mercury and lead.
Unfortunately that is not the worst of it, counterfeit makeup is often produced in un-sanitised and un-hygienic factories and there have been cases where rat droppings and poison have also been found in them. The Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit said. Not only could users experience allergic reactions including irritation, rashes and burns, but potential longer-term health problems too.
It is estimated that in the UK alone people are spending up to £90 million every year on fake goods. Dodgy websites are the main rip-off merchants and pretend to be selling the real deal, so always check the company that you are buying from before purchasing.
The new awareness campaign set up by the police is saying “wake up – don’t fake up” They also say trust your instincts, only deal with reputable sellers, and if you are not sure whether the items are genuine do not enter your payment details, it isn’t worth the risk.
So let this be a warning to us all to not buy Fake cosmetics.
