I've been dealing with vitiligo and have been using tacroz and Melbild for around 11 months now. It's helped quite a bit with reducing my patches. I started off with 0.1 tacroz but now I'm down to 0.03, and use it about 2-3 times a week. I avoid putting it on my legs and only apply it to my arms and scalp. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using these products like this. I also take a week off every month. Do you think this is okay or should I be doing something different?

How often should you wash your hair?

Usually twice a week but to be very precise it depends on hair type. If washing frequently you have to make sure you use a mild shampoo and dilute it with water before using.

I've been trying to grow thicker eyebrows for years using castor oil and olive oil but they don't seem to work at all I know genetics and hormones play a role but is there any non-surgical solution that actually helps

Castor/olive oil have minimal evidence; minoxidil-based serums or PRP therapy may offer better non-surgical eyebrow thickening.
