DS shaved eyebrows

DS16 has shaved off half his eyebrows. It looks awful as you can imagine. No idea what he was trying to do- neaten them up, he claims.

Anything we can do to make it look better while they grow back? Are they likely to grow back a bit dodgy?

He'll be fine just stick a baseball cap on him

A girl at my school did that and I hate to tell you that they did not grow back. Not in the 2 years I knew her anyway.

He just needs a decent explanation for the missing bit. So buy him some steri-strips, stick them as if he’d got a cut in the missing part of the eyebrow and hey presto - it had to be shaved to seal the ‘cut’.

In a week or so, he can stop wearing the strips and his brow will be on the way back and he won’t have had to fess up to shaving off his own eyebrow

I shaved my eyebrows off when I was 12, after reading about a girl doing it in a book. Grin They did grow back, but it took a while.

Ds over plucked his, didn't take that long to grow back. I second castor oil. We all did crazy things as teens,it's no biggy.

My DD did the same during 1st lockdown. They were back in about 2 months
