Any proven home remedies to make your eyebrows grow back quicker and thicker? I've over-plucked for several years now, but I'd like to let them grow back in thicker (if that's still possible). Thanks for your suggestions!

I am going to try castor oil and massaging. I just pray it works because I really, really want my confidence back! and to go swimming without caring. I want to stop caring about some stupid little detail. ugh

to update: i have noticed quite a nice growth although i cant use castor oil just olive oil...but still i wish it would get better as its not as good as i wish it was..:(...

So did they grow back? I finally decided to step back and take a look at my brows and a lot of others and I was like omg my one eyebrow is really bald! and everyone's are really thick nowadays. I use to get buzzed and pluck away! lol last year they weren't as bad as now. Did the biotin and castor oil help? *cries* lol

In response to Lala's posted question about shaved eyebrows, here's a good detailed link:

I over plucked since I was 16, they were so bad when I was 21 I had semi permanent makeup which looked worse than penciling them in, I'm now 27 and although I'm not so "pluck" happy they only grew back sparse & patchy until I heard of Biotin supplements & caster oil.I have taken Biotin for 3 weeks now & it is like a miracle, hairs growing where there have been none for years! I also dab a little caster oil on at night & massage the area with the back of my electric tooth brush (weird, i know) but the extra stimulation helps to stimulate growth too.

My brows are getting fuller every day for first time in years and my family & boyfriend have noticed & say I looked younger & not permanently "surprised" anymore :-) So happy I even went swimming for the first time in years as would not go before in case my brow pencil rubbed off or was splashed. My confidence is back for first time in many years, please anyone in this situation don't loose hope. xxx

If it were me, I'd take multi-vitamins/ minerals along with a supplement of Biotin and Zinc. Horsetail isn't as reliable.

God bless and help then grow. : )

Well, I decided to try Castor Oil (after researching this tip online) and my eyebrows ARE filling in pretty nicely. I'll keep using it and give you guys an update in a few weeks. Thanks to everyone who responded!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi Dawn, If as the other responses have stated, your eyebrows don't grow back I might have a suggestion. I was looking for false eyelashes on the internet and I saw that they sell something similar for eyebrows. I think they are mostly used by chemotherapy patients, but what the heck. Eyelashes, fingernails whatever works. Merlene

Hi Dawn,
It is hard to say weather they will come back. You can try just massaging them. Because the blood flow is what nourishes the supply to the folical. Maby try some shampoo for thinning hair that will open the folical back up ? It is hard to tell. With the rogaine u have to keep using it or it will fall right back out. Good luck ! IF you can just dont do anything for 4 weeks and see where u are. Go and have someone that u trust take a look at them.

So sorry to tell you that over plucked hair of any sort will most likely not grow back :-( Well, maybe a tiny few hairs will grow back but, as luvyabye said, hair follicles are injured from constant plucking/waxing ... The most common cause of eyebrow hair loss is over plucking :-(

Try Rogaine for Women on your eyebrows. It helps, but you must keep it up or the regrowth will stop. The stuff is runny, so you must dab a little on with your finger tip and watch to see if it will run into your eyes ( which, of course, you don't want it in your eyes.) Let it dry in place. Do it in the morning and at bedtime. Read the fine print since it is a real pharmaceutical and might have side effects.

Hi Dawn! There's a good chance that you won't be able to grow your eyebrows back in the plucked areas. As the hair is pulled out, often the hair follicle is injured or destroyed preventing growth of the hair in that spot. That's one of the reasons it's strongly recommended not to over pluck.
