I have thought about it Poppygran but I didn't know anyone who'd had it done - was it painful? and how did your daughter find somewhere to get it done. Now I know that it can be successful I'll do some more research. Thank you smile

Have you thought about eyebrow tattooing? My daughter's eyebrows started to thin, and after using every product she could think of without success she finally had them tattooed on last year and they look great. The colour is matched very closely to your own colouring and it's done lightly at first then darkened on your next visit if you wish to go a bit darker.

Thanks HildaW I'll give it a try.

Have quite sparse eye-brows naturally and used a product by Benefit that worked quite well...you put a waxy like product on first then a light powder to paint in as much as you need. Nowadays I just add a touch more moisteriser and then paint on tiny brush stokes of a good quality eye shadow in a soft brown. It has to be a decent one to get a nice subtle finish. Am sure you cant be only one...spect there are a few good ideas out there....good luck!

Help....I have alopecia areata and can cope with the sudden patches of hair loss ( I have a great hairdresser who can usually disguise them for me) but now my eyebrows have started to go patchy. They were quite thin to start with - over zealous plucking in the 70's! - but I now find that I have bald patches. I don't wear much make-up and I did have a go at using an eyebrow pencil to fill in the missing bits but ended up looking ridiculous. Does anyone know of a solution - bearing in mind that the missing eyebrows do eventually grow back - well they have done so far! Thanks
