I have overplucked my eyebrows! Please help
Hi! I have overplucked my eyebrows and i feel really sad and depressed because of it. I have plucked alot from both of them and they look, uneven, unatural, and i'm embarrased to go out or to talk with anyone i know about it. I cry alot and i stay for myself, what can i do? I'm a guy so i can't use makeup either. This is horrible, i don't know what to do with my life. How long does it take for eyebrows to grow back? Can i do anything to make them grow back faster?
Take a deep breath your going to be fine :) Eyebrows generally do grow back at a faster rate than say your hair on your head. There are vitamins that say they can grow your hair back faster but honestly it will just take a little bit of time. You could try an eye pencil and gently fill them in until they have grown back enough
Thank you for answering. I'm afraid to use any makeup because i'm a guy and i'm afraid people will notice. Im seriously thinking about quitting my job and avoiding school, and to just stay at home until they come back. I feel so sad, and i wish i never touched them. :(
Some of the eyepencils you can get, if you apply them with a light hand it will be harder to detect that you have any makeup on at all. I know it seems at the moment like the worst thing ever but you can get through this. Your eyebrows will be back in no time :)
Ahh, I did this when I first started plucking!
Most eyebrow pencils have a little hard brush on the end, I find that if you use those to smudge out the pencil lines it can look more natural and create hair-like lines, so it's really not noticeable at all.You could experiment with it at home and keep some makeup-wipes from the pharmacy as well to get rid of it if you don't like the look.
I know there's a lot of external pressure to be masculine, I'm sorry you have that to contend with. (sucks cause guys look amazing with makeup on, ahah :P)I hope you don't avoid your job or school because of that pressure, but also I hope you don't feel bad if you do.
@independentAcai8904 - Sorry that happened to you. The speed of your eyebrow hair growth depends on several factors. Though because those hairs don't have a long life span it does grow faster than the hair in some other parts of the body. Since you don't use makeup,If you are not allergic to nuts you can try applying castor oil to them whenever you are at home. I haven't found a scientific research to prove if it truly works or not but a lot of people use that remedy to thicken their eyebrows, do your own research on that of course and never let anything get into your eyes. There are also serums that some companies made and claim it helps grow longer brows etc...or thicker but...I don't know if it works or it is just a marketing scam plus it's super expensive. Try doing some research though you'll surely find something. I am not sure how bad it looks like but I hope it grows fast.
That was a nice response.
Thanks @Oldlady528
the same happened to me! :/ i filled them out so it looks more even, and over time i grows back haha :)
do you do this because of stress? also fish oil is a natural herb that helps hair and nail growth
You can buy eyebrow serum for fifty dollars to grow them fast
Two tubes for fifty dollars. Sometimes you can buy a drugstore one for about fifteen dollars.
I have done this as a teenager too, and I bet many people have done this. Just get a brow pencil that matches your color and color them in.
Are you making fun of someone? Why did you lol, this is perfect? This could be real.
Chances are this is real and the only the this person can do is come to terms with what's happened. Deal with it head on and face the music. It's one of those things that is a honest mistake. Next time, don't pluck your eye brows get them waxed. Until they grow in just pencil them if you really have a issue with it then pencil them in.
Sometimes people can do this from stress as well. I just was not sure.
Heyy hav u seen some growth till now?
