If you are not happy with your thin,  short and scanty eyelashes, you are not alone.
Many women want thicker eyelashes. They make the eyes look even more beautiful and attractive.
Factors like genetics, age, certain medical conditions, a nutritional deficiency, an eye infection or hormonal changes in the body often contribute to thin eyelashes.

The act of rubbing your eyes roughly and not removing your eye makeup at the end of the day can also cause the delicate hairs of your lashes to fall out.
Home remedies for longer eyelashes
Castor oil
Castor oil contains powerful follicle-stimulating and nourishing properties that can help you enjoy lustrous and voluminous lashes.
This oil also helps fight micro-organisms that hamper growth.
Directions
Use a clean brush or a cotton swab to apply castor oil on your lashes before going to bed.
You can also add a few drops of vitamin E oil to the castor oil before applying it if you wish.
Leave it on overnight, then rinse it off with lukewarm water in the morning.
You can also mix together 2 tablespoons each of castor oil and fresh aloe vera gel.
Apply it on your eyelashes using a cotton swab. Leave it on overnight, then rinse it off the next morning.
