I lost both eyebrows due to thyroid problems.
Have found that Avon glimmerstick for brows is wonderful
I use light brown, but there are other colours.

I have two hedges growing which are tamed regularly by threading.

For years I have shaved my legs a few times a year but since my last knee replacement, the hair is growing on my legs also. I am lucky to have a very thick head of hair.

Mine are like yours, Phoenix.
Very bushy, a mix of white and the auburn that myhead hair used to be.

I am trying to find a pencil with some sort of conditioning wax in it. Is there such a thing?

Rather have disappearing ones than those awful pencilled on thick brown versions that are drawn on from the middle of the nose almost to the ears.

Loss of eyebrows can be linked to thyroid problems- hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone) but lots of other reasons I’m sure.

Sorry to say that mine are still very present! Unfortunately, I can't see well enough without my glasses to pluck them myself, hence having to go in to the salon today to have them waxed.

Along with my upper lip........and my chin........and those awkward little devils that have sprouted in the area between my chin and my neck........blush

Had my hair cut too, and just a cut! So glad that I decided to stop the colouring and embrace the grey!

Eyebrows confusedconfused


Oh, you mean the half dozen or so hairs I have above each eye.
I never leave home without applying mascara and using a quality eyebrow pencil.
I no longer need to shave my legs, armpits or anywhere else ! wink

grin M0nica. Mine reduced dramatically when I was prescribed a steroid inhaler for severe rhinitis when I was much younger. I have just used eyebrow pencils to fill in the gaps but I have a full fringe so keep it longer to hide the brows!

Because they slide down your face to your chin!!

They disappear for the same reasons that sees hair on the head thinning and hair on the body. I now shave my legs much less frequently than used to - and why hair starts appearing on the face.

My eyebrows are thinning from the outer edge inwards. I have them shaped and tinted regularly and where there is nothing to tint, I use an eyebrow pencil.

Better than looking scrambled.

I've never really had any eyebrows.
My sister once pencilled some on for me, then everyone laughed because I looked like a 'surprised egg', apparently.

aggie Tue 08-Jan-19 18:49:18

Mine are flourishing ! look like old mans eyebrows , why ?

H1954 Tue 08-Jan-19 18:42:18

Anyone got any ideas why eye brows just disappear, one of mine has almost completely gone!
