Will my over-threaded eyebrows ever grow back?

[AlderGirl]

I decided to ‘treat’ myself to an eyebrow threading last Easter at a salon close to where we were staying on Upper West Side in Manhattan. Although I don’t get myself groomed that often, I have had my brows threaded a few times at a salon home in Blighty and was always fine with my brows growing back as expected within a few weeks. On this last occasion in NY, it hurt multiple times more and felt like my hairs were literally being ripped out. I had to stop the beautician in the end because it hurt so much.
When I inspected it later, I could see that she had done a neat job, although taken off quite a lot more than I would usually have taken off. Seven months on, my brows haven’t really grown back, although regrettably I still get straggly hairs but in completely the wrong part of my brows, where I wouldn’t want them anyway.

I’ve read lots of posts on SM suggesting that eyebrows always grow back, but mine - particularly the right brow - just haven’t. Is it possible that the beautician was so zealous that she took some hair follicles right out and that I’m stuck this way now?

BTW, I had just asked for my brows to be tidied up, with not too much taken off!

Bump!

Yes but usually wouldn't take so long have you tried caster oil and massage?

That’s the thing. Why would it take so long?

Parts of mine are patchy but that’s from years of over plucking when thin brows were everything, not from a 1 off. Aloe Vera gel (just direct from a plant rubbed on every evening) really helped improve mine - and the patient work of my brow lady. And ultimately I had microblading to fill in the really dodgy bits.

I over-plucked my very dark brows in my teens/early 20s when thin eye brows were the fashion. I used to do it religiously every morning. I am 70 now and literally have not had to pluck my brows at all for at least 45 years. So mine definitely stopped growing back, albeit after years of plucking. Needless to say, I bitterly regret having weirdly thin brows now.
