What Happens When You Put Castor Oil On Your Eyebrows Every Day?

While Day believes castor oil may help hair growth, she is quick to point out that it's yet to be proven, and, more importantly, that there could be some serious side effects if you use it on your brows regularly. "There is no scientific or published evidence regarding castor oil and hair growth," she told Refinery29. "Also, it can be occlusive, which can increase hair loss." Yikes! As Byrdie reports, Marie Claire writer Sherri Soliman has experienced this firsthand.

In addition to causing hair loss, castor oil also has the potential to aggravate your skin. So if you're happy to take the risk and are still keen on trying this DIY trick, you should do so with caution. "It might be helpful to apply to one brow to see if it works and to check for irritation," advised Day. "No point in irritating both brows for no reason."
