If you cringe at those throw-back photos of you with razor thin eyebrows I am right by your side cringing, too. Arching eyebrows to a thin line was a huge trend in the early 90’s and 2000’s. But, now that trend is over, and so many of us are left behind with damaged eyebrows. It can be a serious struggle trying to grow eyebrows back to their natural form. Here are five vitamin packed food items that can help grow those great brows.

Vitamins: Vitamin C and B and folic acid.
How to apply: Take a slice of lemon and rub it on your eyebrows. Allow the lemon juice to sit for fifteen to twenty minutes then rinse it off with warm water.
How often: Once daily until desired results.
I suggest going without any eyebrow arching or plucking for a couple of months. Give your hair follicles time to heal with these vitamins first. Stay consistent with your routine and get your full, beautiful eyebrows back.
Bonus: Mix some of these food items together to get even better eyebrow results. Lemon juice and coconut oil make a great team.
