False lashes

  • Ardell makes easy to use lashes that won’t break the bank. Link here.
  • Cut them down one section so they’re not too long, use lash glue along the lashes but wait 15 seconds for it to become more tacky before application on your eyelid.
  • They can be found at many stores from Ulta to TJ Maxx. Their website currently has 20% off your first order.
  • Lash products- Grande Lash, Lash Boost and others on the can encourage growth of sparse lashes. (Brow Boost is also great for eye brows.)



Headbands can be a great way to tame hair during early regrowth.
