Anyone remember trade unionist George Woodcock's famous eyebrows? Robert Mosley's got nothing on him!!!

Thinning eyebrows ... I wish! Since the menopause, mine look more like Robert Morley's every day.☹

Actually Scribbles my eyebrows aspire to the Robert Morley look too, which is why I make regular visits to my beautician. My eyebrows loved lockdown, but I didn’t.

I’ve always had generous eyebrows and so I kept them under control with regular visits to the beautician who waxed and plucked, and more recently trimmed them aswell. Since I became a lady of a certain age, my eyebrows have discovered new life and they grow long and spindly. I was so relieved to be able to visit my beautician again recently and now I have tidy and trimmed brows again.

My brows are fair unlike my hair which is very dark so I just use dye on my brows that just brushes on. Again not much use if you don't have any brows to begin with.

trustgone4sure, yes, the extremes are somewhat alarming, frightening even - but good brows do frame a face nicely!

Iv`e never plucked or done anything really with my eyebrows.
But looking at some of the young women of late they look like they are breeding caterpillers above their eyes.

After nearly a lifetime of plucking our brows into thin, delicate lines - big eyebrows are in!

I use benefit gimme brow in shade 1 . I have eyebrows there it’s just that they’re invisible because they’re white . It wouldn’t be any use if there weren’t any to attach to . It has a little brush and is definitely the best one if tried . Though the Avon mark perfect brow eyebrow gel in a little pot is also good and the Avon Mark eyebrow powder As a budget alternative sometimes they’re only £3 when there’s an offer on !

On the GN Daily page there's a featured about thinning eyebrows and a link to forum discussions. This link took me to a defunct thread and suggested starting a new one, so here goes!

Of the many remedies for thinning eyebrows, one was growth serums. I've used these (Rapidbrow) and they really work but as soon as you stop using them the new hair disappears and you're back to square one! (Same applies to eyelash serums and, probably, scalp treatments for hair loss.) They are not cheap so it's worth knowing.
