To worry about my eyebrows??

16 replies

Why do they look like this?….
They are super sparse and barely grow. I tried to get my brows laminated the other day but the lady said they were being very stubborn and not staying in place/laminating and she didn’t want to make them worse by going over them again with the products. She gave me a full refund.

Now they look like this?? They just don’t grow and are so sparse?

Help???

I think they look fine.

Have you tried just brushing them through with clear mascara so the ends touch each other so there are less gaps?

They look totally normal to me.

I'd love to have eyebrows like yours!

I suffer from frontal fibrosing alopecia and I've had no eyebrows for years! I'm really self conscious about them - I draw them on but it's not the same as the real thing!

I would just put some hair conditioner on them or coconut oil and then leave them alone for a few weeks. Then find a specialist who understands eyebrow hair and can make a recommendation. The best thing I ever did for mine was powder brows.

How old are you? Mine starting falling out in menopause. Weight loss sometimes causes hair loss too. I use the Opti lash stuff on my eyebrows too and it has brough them back.

My mum was drying nappies on top of the grill - I lit the grill; flames shot out and consumed my eyebrows! I have no eyebrows! You lucky bastard - first world problem /s

Good to hear your thyroid is normal - there are thyroid issues in my family and I was told to look out for thinning eyebrows by my Mum.

I didn't think anything was up with yours - lovely shape.

When I studied acupuncture we were taught that eyebrows that were sparse at the outer edges indicated a thyroid issue.

They’re thicker than mine have ever been, lol

Oh thanks everyone. Makes me feel a bit better.

To me they looked really almost spiky, and really sparse at the ends! I have about 3 hairs there!

i did have my thyroid checked and all normal!

Mine are similar but used to be much thicker when I was a teenager. Unfortunately it was fashionable to pluck them back then and mine have never recovered. Also noticed they became thinner when my hair did after having babies.

I think mine would look like that if I got them done, nor much hairs.
It’s a good result, they can only work with the brows that are there. I think the tattooed on brows don’t look as good as this.

Mine were so bad from chronic over plucking. I had powder brows done five years ago and problem solved!

Clychaugog · 06/08/2025 18:25

Your eyebrows are entirely normal.

Heimbach · 06/08/2025 18:25

Has this been a recent thing? Could it be hypothyroidism?

Fraggeek · 06/08/2025 18:24

I wish I had as much hair as you! These don't look sparse to me x
