eyebrows

[tiggerbrown]

hi! i got my eyebrows shaved off and i really need them to grow back fast! what will i do or use? is it the vaseline jelly i have heard to use? does it really work? and how long do they take to grow back in? how faster does it make them grow using vaseline? x

[bednobs]

Using vaseline wont make them grow quicker. Eyebrows grow quite slowly, as opposed to head hair for example. from my experience with chemotherapy, eyebrows are usually one of the last body hair to fall out because they are the slowest growing. it used to take several cycles of chemo before eyebrows would start to thin, so in reality it will take some time to grow back (IE months as opposed to weeks)

my eyebrows grow really quick, one night I;ve plucked them next night they're like hairy catterpillars again :-)

[4getmenot]

so why did you shave your eyebrows?

[Bathsheba]

I overplucked mine aged 16, and they've never been right since x

Maybe he or she was "victimised" .Thats what they call it round here when you get drunk and fall asleep in someones house and they draw all over you and shave things off.

Oh my God Daffy - where the hell do you live?
Talking of eyebrows , what do you call one single hair from your eyebrows?
A hair from your eyelashes is called an eyelash but what is it called from your eyebrow?
Sorry that's not helpful to tiggerbrown and I don't want to alarm you, but I have heard that if you shave your eyebrows,they don't always grow back again.

i heard giner juice helping hair growing.

so why did you shave your eyebrows? and i've seen that happen at several parties, may of even been a culprit!

There's absolutely nothing you can do to make them grow back faster. Mine are, and always have been, very sparse so I fill them in with eyebrow powder - looks more natural than pencil, but if you're a fella you might not like this option!

Only other thing I can think of is for you to dye what you have (get a proper kit from Boots - don't use hair dye). It makes them look thicker, although might look a bit odd if you just have stubble.

They will grow back at their own rate, but you may find they never come back or are never the same again. Childish pranks eh!

When i first started getting mine waxed, it took about 6 weeks for them to grow back again. However if yours have been shaved rather than plucked out, they will grow back faster than this as they have just been cut at skin level rather than plucked out at the root

Vaseline won't help though

I get my eyebrown waxed, to give them the shape that I want.

Unfortunately, in a rush I went to a salon I had never used before (this was 5 weeks ago) to get them done, and she waxed off like the inner 1cm of each brown, so my eyebrows were dead far apart!

They're growing back very slowly, but look dead patchy at the moment.

I'm absolutely horrifed, and right now they look look such a mess, but I just can't do anything about them other than let them grow!

my mum did this in her 20s and they never grew back, she used to use an eyebrow pencil to fake them and always looked like she was surprised at something or had a shock.
