Kiani founded , a UAE-based retailer that sells serums, sleeping masks, and lash curlers.

Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she revealed the best solutions for growing eyelashes.

“Patchy or short eyelashes can result from various factors such as genetics, aging, hormonal imbalances, frequent use of harsh makeup products, and improper makeup removal techniques,” Kiani said.

“Additionally, conditions like trichotillomania [hair-pulling disorder] or alopecia areata can lead to sparse or thin eyelashes. 

“Understanding potential causes can help people take proactive steps to maintain the health of their lashes and address any issues related to patchiness and shortness.”

NATURAL REMEDIES

Kiani said the appearance of eyelashes can be improved using home beauty treatments.

Two ingredients that she recommends are readily available in most people’s kitchens.

“These include applying natural oils such as castor oil, coconut oil, or olive oil to the lashes,” she said.

“These oils are believed to nourish the hair follicles, promote circulation, and enhance lash strength and thickness. 

“It is important to note that these natural remedies may take time to show noticeable improvements.”

BEAUTY BUYS 

Kiani recommended reading the ingredients on eyelash products before using them.

“There are numerous over-the-counter and prescription products available that are specifically formulated to enhance eyelash growth and improve lash density,” she said.

“Eyelash growth serums containing ingredients like bimatoprost [a prostaglandin analog] are often recommended.

"However, it is important to be aware that these ingredients can cause side effects like eye irritation, darkening of the skin around the eyes, and potential changes in eye color. 

“It is important to look for products that are hormone-free so they don’t give the typical side effects.

Supplements like biotin, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and collagen may promote healthier lashes.

“Some ingredients to look out for in serums are Peptides, which stimulate the growth of the lashes.

“Hyaluronic acid not only keeps them moisturized but also helps lash growth and Panax Ginseng Extract ensures your lashes stay strong.”

THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE

Kiani revealed a nutritious diet can benefit lash health.

“In addition to topical treatments, certain supplements and a balanced diet can support eyelash regrowth,” Kiani said.

“Supplements like biotin, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and collagen may promote healthier lashes. 

“A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can also contribute to overall hair health, including eyelashes. 

“It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements or making significant dietary changes.”

Kiani said the cause of lash loss, the individual’s natural hair growth cycle, and the effectiveness of the chosen treatment can affect how long it takes for eyelashes to regrow.
