It seems as though I just make one stupid problem for myself after another. Last night I got the wild hair to pluck all my eyebrows out really thin. WTF was I thinking!?! People have always complimented my eyebrows but I took a 16 year old boy's opinion from the internet that I needed to pluck my eyebrows more. I changed my avatar to the pic of my brows so you can see what they look like..altho I'm sure you won't be able to see TOO well from that little tiny picture.
Will my eyebrows grow back? Do they only not grow back if you pluck them repeatedly or am I already doomed?
I think I plucked my right brow more than my left but the right one looks better so should I pluck the left more to match it or just leave it be and hope and pray that the left one grows back in like the right?
Any suggestions on good brow powders to fill in sparse areas (that won't look completely FAKE?!)
Edit: this pic won't stay up long b/c I know it's terrible. ugh

My esthetician tells me that sometimes they actually never grow back again. It happened to her! Don't panic yet, though; sometimes they take a while to grow back. It'll be a few months before you know for sure. Moral of the story: don't listen to non-professionals or at least people not known for their good taste when asking opinions of how you look.

poor thing! i don't see the pic- only 1 of a dog right now.
if they never grow back, you can have fake ones tattoe-ed on. 2 of my friends have had it done, and it actually looks really good, but depends on where u go, i think!
you might try revlon colorstay eyeliner pencil to fill in missing parts 4 now.
I haven't seen your pic, but are you sure it's really that bad? I had my eyebrows waxed last week and the woman made them real thin and I was so miserable. Now I'm actually happy with them.
Maybe you're not used to seeing yourself with such thin eyebrows? I remember for the first couple of days everytime I looked in the mirror I freaked out. Maybe you just need some time to adjust?
From someone who has over-tweezed - don't pluck any hairs for a few days. Hopefully some will grow back and you'll get a better idea of how to reshape them. If you are still unsure, go to a good aesthetician and get them done.
I know someone whose eyebrows did not all grow back in - let's hope this does not happen to you!

Are you alright XNX? You have been posting alot of items lately( sunburn problems, pull out?, spray tanning, now eyebrows ) and you seem alittle frazzled with your life. Eyebrows do grow back but I am concerned about what you seem to be doing to yourself. Can't you just accept you for you? You don't need to change a thing. You are fine as is XNX.
Sorry it took me a while to reply, I have been out of town the past few days.
Sounds like I will just have to chill out and see what happens. I HOPE and pray they grow in more. I don't think it flatters me to have very thin eyebrows. Thanks for all the tips

Peace...
You know, I hadn't even noticed that but you are right. I do feel pretty frazzled and I have lots of scattered thoughts/ideas, and I tend to "fix" things that aren't broken....if that made sense. I don't know what my deal is lately, but thank you for noticing and asking me if everything was alright! I never get asked that, so that was really very sweet. I'm doing just fine, just having a string of weird problems and worries....that's all.
Castor makes hair grow much faster and even on spots where it should be but doesn't grow from. Put it on your eyebrows before you go to sleep.
I pluck my eyebrows about once a week and they always grow back. I don't see why you panick. You'll have them back with their full length in a month or so. Just let them grow.
Where do I get these? I have heard of Rogaine but don't you have to get a Rx for that? Where do I get Castor? I'm very afraid my brows won't grow back. My mom plucked hers out very thin when she was in high school and they never grew back...
