Our eyebrows frame our face and play an important role in our facial
appearance and expressions. If the hair in your brows starts falling
out, you are sure to see a difference. See your doctor to rule out
medical conditions that may cause hair loss if you notice a sudden
difference in your eyebrows. Take steps to slow down the hair loss and
regrow the hair if your doctor gives you a clean bill of health.
Steps
- Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet to promote optimum hair health.
If your diet is lacking in nutrition, consider taking supplements. Be
sure to include plenty of the following nutrients which are necessary
for healthy hair growth:
- Protein
- Folic acid
- Vitamins A, C, B3 and E
- Apply your eyebrow pencil, or other products used on this area of your face gently, to avoid breaking the hairs or causing them to fall out. Always apply them in the direction that the hair grows, up and out towards your temples.
- Stimulate eyebrow hair growth by brushing each eyebrow gently with an eyebrow brush for 2 minutes each day. Brush in the direction of hair growth to avoid damaging the hairs.
- Coat your eyebrows with warm oil at bed time to encourage healthy hair growth. Choose almond, castor, coconut or olive oil for the best results.
- Warm the oil by putting a small amount in a spoon and holding it over a candle flame.
- Use your finger tip or a cotton swab to apply a liberal coat of warm oil to each eyebrow.
- Try applying other home remedies at bedtime if the oil treatments are not working. Some people have had luck regrowing lost eyebrow hair or slowing down the rate of hair loss using:
- The juice squeezed from a fresh onion.
- Coconut milk drained from a fresh coconut.
- A paste made of fenugreek seeds and water.
- Promptly treat any skin conditions that develop on your face. Rashes, acne and other skin conditions can all make you want to scratch. Excessively scratching the skin around your eyebrows may lead to damaged and broken hairs.
Tips
- Some medications use to treat depression, arthritis, gout, high blood pressure and heart problems may cause hair loss.
- Hormonal changes sometimes cause temporary hair loss, which may also effect eyebrow hair. This may occur when starting or discontinuing birth control pills, or during pregnancy or menopause. Hair lost as a result of hormonal changes will typically grow back in a few months after hormone levels stabilize.
Warnings
- Avoid over plucking and over waxing your eyebrows. Hair that is continuously removed may eventually stop growing back.
- Hair loss can be a symptom of a serious medical condition such as diabetes, lupus or thyroid problems, among others. If you notice an excessive amount of hair loss from your eyebrows or other places on your body, see your doctor to rule out medical problems.
