Why Eyebrow Hair doesn’t Grow Back

Full brows are back in style! But many of us have spent years plucking away our eyebrow hair so filling them in is one of the best way to achieve fuller and shaped eyebrows.

There are many reasons why your eyebrow hair may not be growing back, and the most common reason is long-term plucking, waxing, or threading. 

Damaged Hair Follicles

Overplucking will leave people with thinning brows, and unfortunately, growing your brow hair back is not always easy. These methods of hair-removal can damage the hair follicle making it very difficult to grow back. Many of us went tweezer crazy in the 90s to achieve perfectly thin brows and are now paying the price! Tweezing and waxing early in life can cause your follicles to suffer trauma and die out. Most of us have not regained our full brows because of the damage caused to the hair follicle. Dry skin and weather will also affect your hair follicles, and many people struggle with hair growth during the winter due to a lack of moisture in the air and harsh temperatures. Believe it or not, brows need warmth and humidity to thrive, so most people will notice their brow hairs growing faster during the summer. 

Thyroid or blood deficiency can lead to hair loss, and if you noticed that your eyebrows have thinned or disappeared altogether, you could talk to your doctor about having your thyroid checked. 

Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss

Post-pregnancy hair loss is very common, and your hormone levels will drop once you deliver the baby, which can cause a lot of your hair to fall out. The stress you experience during your pregnancy journey can also make your hair fall out, and this is something many women will experience. 

Diet and stress can also prevent eyebrow hair from growing back if there is a nutritional deficiency present or change in hormone levels. 

Finally, age will impact hair follicles.  As we get older, our hair follicles slow down and stop producing new hairs, which nobody can control. 

Genetics, hormones and age will impact how fast your eyebrows grow back, and a balanced diet can help in this regard. You should also avoid plucking, waxing and threading to give your eyebrow hair the chance to grow.
