Now, I don't often get this done. I haven't gone near my eyebrows (or let anyone else) for about three months or more Blush. Yesterday, I passed the threading booth at Debenhams and decided to get them neatened up. I got someone different from last time (previous woman was great) and she took too much off from underneath as well as on top. I now have thin brows and don't like them, or think they suit me. Sad

I've never been one for over-plucking. What's the chance that they'll grow back in all their Hanging-Gardens-of-Babylonian glory? (So I can get someone more careful to prune them next time.)

When mine look too sparse or thin I dye them with eyelash dye. it thickens them up a treat

The same happened to me, they do grow back although I am left with one small patch where there is no hair now. I have been told to rub castor oil on the area to get the hair to come back but have'nt tried it.

Castor oil might help. I certainly know it promotes hair growth - I tried the castor oil face cleansing (as seen on all the best MN style threads!) and I ended up with significantly more little hairs on my face! Sad

I'm sure it'll grow back as I'm not repetitively plucking from those areas. It's very hard to keep tabs on what a threader is doing - it's very fast and your eyes are watering! Grin

Agree with Cybil. I have naturally light eyebrows, that are thin towards the end. I get them dyed when I get them threaded, and it really thickens them up. Makes them look fab!
