Growing my eyebrows and it's taking ages....

[TrustMeImLying]

Due to immense jealously of all those people with beautiful brows I've decided to grow out my over plucked, uneven and frankly dreadful eyebrows.

I started growing them out 2.5 months ago, for the first month they seemed to grow quite quickly, albeit in areas that didn't really help (low down near my eye and now they seem to have slowed down completely.

So I have purchased some rapidbrow to help it along. I've only been using it a week so no real change yet but I just wondered if anyone else has any tips that worked for you?

I have been growing mine for months now too. Unfortunately a lot of them grew back in white so I have been having to get them tinted too. The girl I go to says that some peoples dont grow back in properly at all

Mine have never grown back, apart from above themselves in a runaway bid to join my hairline via my forehead, little feckers!

So I had them tattooed on, filled in the gaps with the stray hairs I had left and I bloody love em!

Castor oil is supposed to be very good at helping eyebrows (and eyelashes) to grow back. I've tried it and had fairly good success.

You massage it into the affected area, something to do with it being anti-microbial and antibacterial, strengthens the hair follicle and means the hair grows thicker and doesn't fall out so quickly.

If you google it there's plenty of info out there and testimonials from others who've tried it.

Buy a decent quality cold-pressed one if you can though.

Oh no to the not growing back at all!!

My god to I wish if listened to my mums warnings about over plucking!

rioja I am tempted by the tattooing but I'm a bit worried about them looking odd in a few years.

Cashmere will try some castor oil! Thank you.

It does work, but it isn't an overnight magical re growth. I tried it after an over-enthusiastic threaded removed half of my eyebrows and turned them into god-awful pencil thin lines

I was so cross with her, I had already beautifully shaped them (if I do say so myself!), and they were full and really suited my face, all I wanted her to do was get rid of the fine whispy ones on the edges. She'd done a fab job of the whispy ones the previous time, so I assumed she do as she was asked to again.

That's the last bloody time is ever let anyone touch my eyebrows again!

I cried when I got home and had to pencil them to fill them out for about a month. But the castor oil did help and it's in-expensive, so worth a go.

Would olive oil work, or any oil for that matter?

It took me a full year to grow mine back and they are still patchy :(

Vaseline on them every night has improved mine

It's the anti microbial/anti bac etc properties that make the castor oil work as I understand, that than the 'oil' bit iyswim. So don't don't know that olive oil would do the same as not got same properties.

Can buy castor oil online (ebay/amazon etc) for a couple of pounds.

I tried Revitalash on my ageing, weedy lashes and it worked so well I moved on to Revitabrow, for my equally age-affected brows, with equal success. Expensive, but worth it. I found that once my brows thickened up I could stop using it. If the much less pricey solutions fail, it might be worth a try. I got mine from QVC, which gives out a 30 day money-back guarantee, even on used items, and you should start to see some improvement in that time.

I've been growing mine now since last June and they are starting to get there. Still a bit patchy but much fuller now. It's so tempting to pluck them back again when they start to look a bit strange from uneven regrowth but it's worth waiting

What ohmymimim said.

I have not plucked my eyebrows for 3 years and they're still not fully there. I wouldn't mind but it's not like I had really over plucked them into nothingness-I just wish I hadn't messed with the natural shape

I almost envy you, mine grow like Dennis Healy's. So need to have them threaded.
